Freya
I walked out of the infirmary angrily, with Seraphina following behind me. She seemed to be angry, and I knew I was the cause of that. My whole body was in confusion, not knowing what to do. My eyes were filled with hate, which was going toward Aiden. I knew that it hurt his ego to be beaten by an omega, but that doesn't mean he should be after his life. I knew that if he were in Lucius's shoes, he would have done the same regardless of his status. I was angry that all this happened under that mode of the werewolf council, and they were unable to do a thing about it.
It was like they were waiting for the time when he would hurt Lucius before any of them interfered. I could feel myself getting angrier every minute. I feel like this is nothing but a setup. I want to believe that things were different. I was filled with range as we walked toward the place where they were.
They have left the pack square for a secluded place, and I knew that they were doing all this to make sure anyone who is not entitled to hear their conversation isn't hearing what they were discussing. I knew that this was being done mostly because of Alpha Aiden, who had almost hurt Lucius. I knew that the werewolf council wouldn't want to punish him because he didn't hurt him, but I knew that he would have done that if not for Lucius using his auras.
I walked closer to where they were with an angry look on my face. It is an offense to go against the words of the werewolf council, and Aiden just did that. I doubt if it will be possible for him to scale through unhurt. I knew that might happen, but I won't allow it. Things won't go as they have planned. I will make sure that things go the way I want. I won't allow any of them to have the slightest chance of bullying me. I won't allow them to use their status on me. I will make sure that they have no choice other than to punish him.
"What did you display out there, Hun? You attacked him again after you lost," I said angrily as soon as I got there while glaring dangerously at him. His body was stuff as he stared at me. I couldn't believe that he would do something like this. I knew that he was capable of this, but I didn't know he would stoop so low to attack Lucius after he had fought against him.
I knew that he was the reason why Lucius was in the hospital, and I couldn't help but blame him because of it. I felt like all that had happened to Lucius would have been avoided if he hadn't attacked him again after winning.
I'm glad Lucius won, but seeing that he was sent to the hospital after holding himself against an alpha, and not only that, he had unlocked his lycan's power,. I knew that if Aiden wasn't consistent, then this wouldn't have happened. I knew I wanted him to unlock his powers, but not in this way; he got hurt, and that is because it was forced. I knew that what Aiden had done made his wolf resurface, and I felt like he had done me a great thing, but I don't want to accept it.
"Freya, you need to calm down. He didn't attack him to kill him, nor did he hurt him after he lost the duel; he had attacked him back because I had ordered him to," I heard the head of the council say, and I stared at him for a while with wide eyes. I can't believe what he just said. My eyes widened in shock, and I couldn't help but think that all this was planned.
"What?!!" I exclaimed while staring at him with wide eyes. I couldn't believe that he would do something like that and also admit to it. I then knew that all this was a plan. They planned on killing Lucius to make me be with Aiden.
My eyes bulged out in shock, and that also goes to Seraphina and my dad. They were all surprised, and I felt the need to strangle the head council. Other members of the council don't seem to be aware of what is going on. They were all surprised to know that the head council had planned all this all along.
"You planned on killing my mate, and here you are sitting down comfortably. I can't believe you are this evil," I voiced out after a while. I had recovered from the initial shock, and I'm not ready to lose any chance with him again. I'm going to send him away from my pack, and he will never be welcome in this pack again.
"Listen, young lady, I won't tolerate you sprouting out nonsense from your loose mouth; I have heard enough of your words; I have reasons for what I have done," said the head of the council, who happens to be Alpha Thorne. I could feel my heart stop beating immediately after I heard his words. I felt my body freeze with fear, and I couldn't help but wonder why that happened to me. I knew that this might have happened because I had said a word against him. I felt bad that I had yelled at him, but there was nothing I could do.
I knew that I shouldn't feel guilty for the man who had almost killed my mate. I knew that he might not be the one who did it initially, but I knew that he was the one who told Aiden to do so.
"You have reasons for trying to kill him; you have reasons to justify your actions, I knew you would support him but I don't know you would also be involved in all these." I spat venomously as I stared at him with hatred.
"I know that you are angry with me, but at least hear him out," I heard Aiden say, and I turned to look at him with fire blazing in my eyes.
"You still have the right to speak after almost killing my mate," I said with a pause, and I turned to look at Alpha Thorne with pain evident in my eyes.
"This duel is a planned one, and you wanted to use the medium to kill my mate," I added, pain evident in my eyes.
The council members were shocked to experience all that was happening, and they were speechless. They weren't expecting things like this.
"Freya, stop all this; let's hear him out." I heard what my dad said, and I grumpily stared at him without saying a word.
"I know you all aren't expecting this; you wanted me to tell you the truth. I have known from the start that your mate isn't going to be an ordinary person; I knew your mate would be strong, and the first time I saw Lucius, I knew he was strong because something was off with him," Alpha Thorne said, and I sneered at him angrily. I knew that he was only doing this to cover up the truth.
"I knew that he wasn't someone to mess with and I don't want your pack to fall weak, so I decided to help you out." Thorne added, and I stared at him in shock, not knowing what to say. I knew for sure that no one was going to believe his cock tales to cover up what he had done.
"You decided to help me by starting the duel; you wanted to help me by making my mate lose," I said while staring at him disgustingly.
"I knew that he would do anything to be with you, and the duel was the only option that came to mind. I had seen how he was willing to be with you, and I have it in mind for him to be with you even if he loses the duel. I had seen that he was on the edge of something and that he was confused at the end of the duel. I then ordered him to attack him again while taunting him; he did that, and he was able to unlock his hidden part, which I had noticed earlier. There is no way an alpha would be paired with an omega," Alpha Thorne said, but I was still not convinced and was about to talk when he started talking again.
"I have heard a lot of stories about it, and it ended up that the mate of the alpha is strong. I knew this would eventually happen, and all I do is make him look worthy. I helped him unlock his hidden powers. Aiden here does nothing other than follow my order. I knew your pack members weren't in support of this, but that is the only way to make them know that he was worthy. Do you think it's easy for him to lose to him? He knew he would lose eventually but he still wanted to go on with the duel without minding the rumors that would arise if that were to happen. " alpha Thorne said, and with that, he stood up from where he was seated.
He walked toward Aiden, who looked embarrassed by the whole thing, and he walked away with Alpha Thorne. I knew that what he had just said was not too long, right? There is no way someone who knew he would fail would still go on with it if not for the fact that he was ordered by someone.
"I guess my job here is done," Alpha Aiden said, and he bowed his head before leaving.
