Ch. 6

SERGIUS 

I looked puzzled at what he said. "What do you mean? I need to. I need to beg. Who? Why do I need to even apologize to anybody? I don't owe anyone an apology."

I said, puzzled, as he laughed and continued his incantation. This time, he was louder than usual. 

"You are joking around, huh? You really think this is a joke? This is important. It is important that you do this. You need to do this or else you wouldn't be able to get the good news that is waiting for you."

He said as I laughed. "At this point, nothing can be good news to me. Except if you tell me that my heir is going to arrive very soon. That something good is going to come out of everything. One of my wives is in a serious position. She had a miscarriage, and I don't plan on making it happen again. I don't care what the good news is. I need an heir. Do you even know how important it is? As your Alpha, I am commanding you to find a solution."

I said angrily as he laughed.

"You can't command me here, Alpha. You have no power in the presence of a priest. Because I am the one who would see into your future. And if I decide to not tell you the truth, I won't. In short, I made more findings. But with the way you spoke to me, I don't think I have plans of telling you."

He said as I felt even more angry. 

"Can you just stop with this nonsense already? I have no time to be discussing things and pleading with you. Give me a fucking solution, priest."

I yelled aggressively as he looked at the beta. My Beta quickly rushed towards me and whispered into my ear. 

"Please. He is a priest. He has seen something. If you keep trying to act so aggressively, he won't give us a solution."

He muttered as I scoffed. 

"Whatever you have something. What you're searching for so badly is something somewhere waiting for you. Find it. The only way to find it is if you apologize, and I know you can do it."

He said. I stood up almost immediately, not waiting for him to continue telling me stupid words that I never wanted to hear. 

"What does he expect me to do? To go around and search for someone who I supposedly offended? How do I apologize to a person I don't even know?"

I stormed out of his so-called haunt and stood outside angrily. I ran my hands through my hair aggressively. I was so frustrated I didn't even know how to react. At this point, my beta slowly placed his hands on my shoulder and said nothing. 

"Can you stop with this? Stop acting like this."

I said. 

"It's simple."

"It's not simple. The elders of the council are going to start a meeting on my head too. Do you know what that means? Do you even know the kind of predicament I am in? You brought me to this fucked-up man, and he is telling me to go and apologize to someone I don't even know who I am supposed to apologize to."

I said, trying my best to suppress that anger that was swelling up deep within me. 

"I know that you don't want to believe him, but he is saying the truth. Honestly, this isn't the first time I am in the presence of the priest. I came here before to talk to him, to find solutions, and he told me he needed to see you. He saw something. I guess he doesn't want to tell you anymore because he believes you are being too impatient. Whoever it is, try and remember there is somebody you did something to. Whoever it is, we need to beg the person. If you want an heir, if you want things to work out. The elders are not going to take this lightly. They're not going to hear that you need to apologize to somebody. You have to make a move before they make a secret move against you and try to dethrone you. Don't forget there are chances of them dethroning you and putting somebody else there. And you know who I am talking about."

He said as I suddenly calmed down a bit. He was right. No matter how stubborn I tried to act, my brother is still going to take it from me if I don't act fast. Yes, he might be the one in charge of the southern territories, but he still has access to this place if he gets the favors of the elders. 

"I don't know what to do. I don't know what to fucking do."

I said, feeling even more pissed. I paced back and forth frustrated as my beta walked towards my car, opening it, waiting for me to get in so we could drive off. But I couldn't. I couldn't just leave. 

"What if I get into the car and I remember who exactly I offended? Would I have to start coming back here? Ah, this annoys me so badly."

I thought. 

"I can't believe everything is pissing me off to this extent. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do."

I said again as he just stood in front of the door. 

"Try and remember."

He muttered. 

"I am fucking trying."

I said again while trying to calm my nerves. 

"I'm sorry, I just don't know what is wrong with me, but I swear to you I am fucking trying my best to rem—oh my God."

Suddenly it came to me—flashes of memories. 

"I know who it is. I know who I have offended. I know who I need to talk to. I can't beg that bitch. I can't beg Fiona. The waitress from the bar. It can't be possible. She is the one. We had a mate bond, and I rejected her. Fuck is she? The predicament in my life at this point."

I looked at my beta as he noticed I had remembered something. He rushed towards me, giving me an innate look like he wanted to really know what I was thinking. 

"I think I know who it is, but I don't think I can go back to beg her. That's just the only problem."

I said. 

"Who is she?"

He asked. 

How do I tell him I had a mate and I rejected her because she was a waitress?
