Fated is overrated

"Thank you for your candidness Lola. Please know you can, no - you have to, always come to me with such matters. I deeply apologize for my son's actions, as well as for the Beta and Delta possible heirs. Please rest assured this will NOT happen again, unless either of the 3 pups in front of me wishes to have a fight with my wolf Cyan, who is more than furious at the disregard of our pack member's safety.

You are excused, so Cyan and I can have a word with the 3 pups. Once again, please accept our sincere apology". A small smile forms her lips as she stands up and says "there is no need to apologize Alpha, as you were unaware. Thank you and Cyan for talking to me and taking my safety seriously. I really appreciate it.". When she closes the door behind her I release my full Alpha aura, my irises still pitch black indicating Cyan is with us for this scolding.

"Do either of you have anything to add? I would choose your words carefully pups, as we are in no mood to hear any more bullsh*t coming out of your mouths!" Cyan snarls out, completely furious at the boys who are supposed to lead this pack in the near future. I was expecting the dumbest of the 3 to throw out some word vomit as he always does, but apparently the meeting has made quite the impression on them as each of them reply they have nothing to add, Chris smart enough to utter a soft "sorry" at the end. I reign in some of my aura so I can look them straight in the eye without their bared necks, before I continue. "Now. Let me be crystal clear on this topic. You are in charge of protecting our pack members, not harming them.

If I EVER hear anything suggesting otherwise again, you will be demoted in the blink of an eye all 3 of you. Depending on the severity, Cyan might also want to have a chat with you in private, or we will even decide to turn your asses rogue. I don't care if you are my son or not - our pack members WILL be protected by the Alpha, Beta and Delta of this pack. And if not you, it will be done by more suitable candidates.

We do not care if the harm is done by yourselves directly or any other pack members either, the rules stand. If anything happens to any pack member, this will be reflected on you. Am I understood?" I bellow the last part. All 3 of the pups in front of me nod in understanding while murmuring "yes Alpha".

"Ashton, Jeremy, you are excused". All 3 of them have a confused look on their faces as to why I am not dismissing Chris just yet, but as the future Alpha and my son, he has some more coming his way. Ashton and Jeremy get up too slow and hesitant for my liking, they should know I am in no mood to f*ck around right now.

So I bellow "TODAY, PUPS". I have to contain the smile that threatens to pass my lips as they scurry their way out of my office so fast, they almost trip on their own feet.

As Chris is studying the floor intently, I continue my scolding session. "Chris, I cannot describe how disappointed and angry I am right now. I know your mother's departure made an impact on you from which you haven't fully recovered, but you need to get your sh*t together.

This is not how I raised you! And this is not how an Alpha leads his pack. From now on, you will be going to therapy sessions every day after school, to hopefully fix what has been broken when your mother left us. It was hard for me too, Chris. But we still have a pack to run and people to care for.

And you cannot let that woman define your future, as she has defined your past." Judging from his reaction and knowing my son - he is not too thrilled to go to therapy, but I can tell he knows I'm right and that my words had an impact on him.

He gives me an apologetic look "sorry dad, for everything. I will go to therapy as you wish". "Very well son, you are excused". And with that, I am eager to check with my Beta and Delta if they have found anything yet.

I doubt they would have considered the short time span, but there is something really different about Lola and I can't wait to see what her wolf looks like. I will be sure to ask my Beta when her birthday is.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
