Chapter 4

Maya POV 

The moment I stepped into the council, my steps begin to fail me as I looked upon the eyes of the ten Alphas that makes up the council, each having a look of judgement in their eyes.

 

My eyes landed on Thomas and I could see how furious he looked. He had come with Sarah my sister, who was also clouded with envy.

 

"The meeting shall now proceed." Justin the Beta announced, after I had taken my seat next to Williams.

 

"Your highness, you break laws and take them into your hands by allowing this girl to become your Luna." One of the Alphas speak.

 

"I did not break any law Alpha James, I went to Black Mist Pack and find her in a dilapidated state and find her really interesting and fit for a Luna and that is what she is going to be." Williams respondi accordingly.

 

"You have a cunning way of flipping stories." I turned to look at Thomas, who was on his feet to speak. "You came to my pack for the purpose of alliance and then take my mate and make her your Luna. That in itself is a treachery."

 

"You call the woman you had your soldiers beat to death a mate? You must be a joke for that." There was an audible gasp in the court room, as Williams responded to his comment.

 

 

"I demand that my mate should be given back to me at once!" The rest of the Alphas seem to be in agreement with what he had said. 

 

Williams got up to his feet from the throne, removing the crown on his head and dropping it on the floor for everyone to see.

 

"Anyone who thinks that they can challenge my decision to make this woman my mate, can come forward and take this crown from me." I watched as the Alphas murmur amongst themselves.

 

"Let it be known on this day that the Alpha King harbours a murderer on the throne." Sarah spoke up and because I still haven't forgiven her for what she had done, I was angry at her words.

 

"Alpha Thomas, how dare you bring a Luna to the council of Alphas. You dare speak to your King about rules, when you break them easily." 

 

"With due respect your highness, the Alpha brought me here today as his assistant..."

 

"Are you his assistant or his sex toy?" I did not know when the words came out of my mouth,  but I could not contain her excesses again.

 

"So you have grown wings now huh?" Sarah asked

 

"I stand before this council today to tell everyone that Sarah, the supposed assistant of Alpha Thomas orchestrated a rape against me and I merely defended myself." Everyone including Alpha Thomas gasped.

 

 

"She is lying! How can I do such a thing to my own sister." 

 

"Stop trying to manipulate everyone and admit the truth Sarah. Remember what you told me at the dungeon?" I could see the fear in her face. "You really thought it was going to be over for me huh? Now look who is in trouble."

 

"Alpha Thomas, it is clear that your assistant or whatever you call her has never been a good person. I will suggest you find a way to handle her. This topic of discussion is over. Let's review other problems on our hands."

 

The rest of the meeting were spent discussing other subjects but my mind was preoccupied with Thomas and Sarah's claim.

 

Why are they keen on getting me back? Thomas has clearly proven that he does not want me and Sarah and I were not in the best of relationships. 

 

The meeting ended hours later and as the Alphas begin to take their leave away from the council one after the other, Williams turned his attention to me.

 

"I want to show you something." He said, extending his hands. I took his hands and we both stepped out of the council to the hallway 

 

As I walked side by side with him, every subjects that passed by, acknowledged our presence. 

 

"I have a library, I would love for you to come and see some of my book collection." I noticed the excitement in his eyes and realized he must really love his books.

 

When we stepped into the library, I was marveled by the collection of books that were neatly placed at the shelves.

 

Williams walked away from my side to pick up a book on the table and come over to meet me.

 

"This book here is an ancient work written to understand the heart of the moon goddess." He mentioned and flipped through the pages. "I was reading through the pages, where the moon goddess mention symphony between the water element and the fire element."

 

 

"What does that even mean?" I asked.

 

"I don't know, but I will ask the seers to make an interpretation about it." I looked away to the other shelves, searching for a favourite book that I could read, when Justin stepped into the library.

 

"My King, I know I should not be bothering you but we have a serious situation on our hands."

 

"Whatever problem we are facing can wait. As you can see, I am having a nice time with my Luna." 

 

The way he calls my name out made me feel totally warm. 

 

 

"Logan is here my King." I looked at Williams and noticed the surprise on his face. He closed the book and dropped it on the table.

 

 

"Watch over my Luna, I will be back." He instructed and moved away, without even giving me a stare. 

 

As Justin walked towards the other side of the shelve, observing the books that had been nearly arranged, my thoughts were simply focused on question.

 

Who is Logan? And why does the name sounds troubling?.

 

"Justin?" I called and he turned to look at me. "Who is Logan?" 

 

"The Rogue King. He has been a menace to the kingdom and I can only wonder what he has come to say to the Alpha King."
