The old man then said, “We cannot stand by while you, our Alpha, disregards our Luna for a whore! This is a disgrace an insult to our traditions.”
Despite the elders who voiced their protests, Oliver remained unmoved. The Alpha was like a man possessed as he refused to believe my death. It seemed that he had made up his mind.
As the tension in the room reached its peak, Beta Edward stepped forward. Unlike the tension around him, the Beta was calm and collected as if he tried to calm the pack down.
“Enough,” he said, his voice cutting through the uproar.
‘I wondered what he would say,’ I told myself.
To my shock, the man then continued, “Let the Alpha do as he wishes.”
Immediately, the pack members fell silent. All of them looked at the Beta as if he went insane. Or it might be the case.
“How can you support this madness?” Elder Alphonse asked in a demanding tone.
Elder Albert also protested as he said sternly, “You know that this is very wrong, Beta!”
Yet, Edward’s gaze was steady as he looked at the questioning pack elders.
“It is not our place to interfere in the Alpha’s decisions,” the Beta calmly stated.
