“You’re incorrigible. As my Beta, I expect better from you” I admonished “you are meant to be setting an example.”
“I’ll be on my best behavior” he said batting his eyes.
Yeah right, and pigs would fly.
I glared at the offending invitation. “Fine. I’ll use it as an opportunity to assess the pack and it’s needs while I’m there. It will save me a trip in the future. I’ll also determine just what use the Alpha is to the pack and whether he needs to be replaced” I added.
“Always business first” James grumbled.
I shot him a look “Be grateful I’m going” I snapped “As it is, I still need to draw up the legislation for my next law which is sure to put some noses out of joint” I exhaled and leaned back in my chair.
“Yes, that is bound to piss off a lot of Alpha’s,” James said agreeably “and I applaud your bravery in demolishing, what I think should have been abolished ages ago.”
I gave a grim smile “Yes well, wait and see what the response is before you give me congratulations. I fear we might be in for a lot of anger and rage once the legislation is introduced.”
James smirked “that’s what makes it fun. You can’t really call yourself King if nobody hates you” he joked, getting up and stretching.
I glanced down at the legislation in question, still on my desk, partially written and groaned. James sidled towards the door, a mischievous grin on his face.
“I’ll leave you to your work,” he said with satisfaction, having got what he was after. I barely noticed him leaving.
I looked at the title of my new law to be introduced and grimaced. It was going to ruffle more than a few feathers. But women were being forced into the program against their will and consent, akin to nothing more than slaves and I wasn’t having it. I didn’t care if it had been in place for a hundred years, or that it was a tradition. It was barbaric and it was degrading towards the female species. I would no longer let these women suffer in silence. Those in positions of power, would no longer have the authority to abuse women in positions lower than them. We were better than this. At least, that’s what I hoped.
“The Abolishment and Disbandment of the Breeding Program Immediately and From this Day forward will no longer continue to be enforced in any pack and refusal to follow this instruction will result in the immediate consequences…”
All I had to do was complete it and have it legally witnessed before I distributed it to the packs. I resolved to finish it before the party I was attending. I settled down and began to type, hoping that Cordelia wouldn’t choose today, of all days, to distract me.
Leah POV
For the first time in what felt like forever, I slept like a log. The couch was more comfortable than the threadbare mattress I was used to and the fire that flickered away provided heat that allowed the coldness of my body to dissipate. It was bliss. I was almost sobbing with gratitude. Unfortunately, I was woken by icy cold water, flung right into my face as I shrieked and bolted upright, confused and annoyed.
“What in the hell are you doing in my house you loser” Brynn spat out, a smile hovering on her lips.
“Alpha Johnathon instructed me to” I snarled, getting up and facing her.
My shriek had alerted the Alpha and Luna who came running. Alpha Johnathon took in the situation at a glance.
“Brynn” he snapped “Leah is staying in the pack house from now on at my instructions. Go and get ready for school” he snarled.
She pouted and shot me a glower. I pushed my hair back, feeling some of the wet strands against my back, soaking through my shirt. I tried not to shudder.
“Sorry Leah” Alpha Johnathon apologized “Why don’t you go get freshened up so that you can go to school” he suggested with a sigh.
He pointed to my backpack sitting neatly on the floor. “I had some of your clothes brought over, your room is the first one on the left on this floor” he added with some exasperation, before leaving the room.
I grabbed my backpack and went to head to the nearest bathroom, when I heard Brynn and her mother talking to each other in hushed whispers in the foyer, behind some large potted plants, unaware that I was eavesdropping.
“Mother, you have to do something! Father has gone too far. He’s let her into the house!”
“I know darling. He didn’t discuss it with me either. But he is the Alpha and we can’t question his decision, as much as we disagree with it” Luna Bianca said angrily.
“I don’t want her here. Send her away” Brynn hissed “father’s too softhearted for his own good. He refuses to see how bad Leah is for our pack. You’re the Luna, why can’t you do something?”
