22 AXEL'S DECISION
Axel's pov...........
'(I REALLY HATE YOU AXEL)'.
'like I ever liked you Sabastien'.
'(SERIOUSLY,YOU COULDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE TO THE POOR GIRL)'.
'And why should I have apologized'.
'(FOR FASELY ACCUSING HER OF MARK'S DEATH OF COURSE)'.
'But at that time,the odds were against her'.
'(I KNOW THAT DUMMY,BUT WHEN YOU FOUND OUT THE TRUTH THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU APOLOGIZE TO HER)'.
'I wanted to apologize to her but then she left,she didn't even wait for me to finish speaking'.
'(THAT'S BECAUSE THE FIRST STATEMENT THAT CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WAS WHAT NO ONE EXPECTED)'.
'And what exactly did you expect Sabastien'.
'(FOR YOU TO APOLOGIZE AND BRING HER BACK TO THE HOUSE)'.
I shook my head 'No way, apologizing is no problem for me ......but bringing her back to the house..... that am never gonna do'.
'(SHE'S GETTING MARRIED AXEL......TO ANOTHER GUY,WHEN HER MATE IS STILL ALIVE AND HEALTHY)'.
'I heard her clearly when she said it before Sabastien, am not deaf you know'.
'(BUT YOU ARE CLEAELY DUMB,YOU HAVE NEVER ACTED IN THIS MANNER BEFORE AXEL,YOU HAVE CHANGED A BIG DEAL)'.
'No Sabastien, I've always been like this,you just haven't noticed it'.
"Axel what did you just do now,letting Sydney leave......you are allowing her to get married....Hunter began to rant but I raised my hand to silence him "That's enough now Hunter,you have said what you wanted to say...and now it's my turn to speak".
"What's going on here" Selena said walking into the room.
I smiled "You have come at that the right time Selena,have a sit and join the party" And she sat down.
"So I'll say,you all have been visiting Sydney after she left this house....the only people unaware of this fact was me,Jude and Sue,the rest of you decided to clearly disobey my orders".
"But she's innocent Axel,you heard it yourself" Alia defended.
"That's not the point Alia" I snapped "The point is that you all disobeyed and disregarded my orders.....you all now look at me like your fellow pack mate rather than your Alpha huh........ but all that's gonna change change now".
"Axel.....
"You don't speak when your Alpha is still speaking Cary" I roared.
He bowed his head "Am sorry Alpha".
I closed my eyes and sighed "Before Sydney came into our lives, you all never lied to me,all decisions concerning this community and the pack were made by me and none of you dared to go against those rules or disregarded them in any way,but after she....Sydney came into this house,you all can now look into my eyes and lie to my face,you all now disobey my orders".
They looked at me with genuine guilt but I wasn't done yet "Starting from now,every decisions concerning this community and my pack will be made by only me and me alone.... and anyone who dares to go against any of my order should get ready to leave this pack and community for good".
Selena cocked her head to her side "Does those rules also apply to me Axel".
I frowned at her "If you consider yourself a part of this pack then yes the rules also apply to you. You might be the moon goddess to the supernatural world but you belong to a pack and that pack is mine meaning you are under my rules and regulations....Am your Alpha so it's about time you and Hunter start treating me with utmost respect".
I turned to go but then I stopped in my tracks "Since you all can't respect the new me then I think it's time things went back to the way they used to be,it's time for the beast to come out" and I left.

ONE WEEK LATER..
Sydney's pov.......
"You look so beautiful" Kiera squeaked.
Today was the day of my wedding. I was not happy because i was getting married to someone I didn't love. If only Axel would show up and take me away back to the house......but I knew that was never gonna happen....I was only dreaming big.
I forced a smile at her "Yeah.....so did Cary say if they were coming to the wedding or not".
She looked away "I don't know what you are talking about".
I rolled my eyes "Ohh come on Kiera,I know that you have been going to see Cary secretly".
Her countenance immediately changed "Please don't tell Kai about it,his gonna be so mad at me".
I shook my head "Am not going to tell anyone Kiera.....so.......are you ready to give me details".
"Well....Cary said they wanted to attend the wedding and they were gonna attend it in disguises but Axel forbad them to even step close to this place or associate themselves with any of us again".
I nodded "I knew he would do something like that but they have always found a way to sneak by him without him noticing so what's the problem now".
She shook her head "Not this time Sydney,Cary said Axel has changed a lot and no one can dare to go against his orders now,the consequences are fatal".
"Just how much has he changed" I mumbled.
"That doesn't matter now,it's your wedding and that is all you should be concerned about".
"Yeah,you are right".
The door suddenly opened and Kai walked in looking as dashing as ever.
"This is a ladies room Kai,and you don't just walk into a ladies room,learn to knock......you are perfectly aware that Sydney is dressing in this room and still you failed to knock" Kiera roared at her brother.
Kai smirked "Hey there tiger....am sorry for barging into the room like that but you know I wouldn't do such if the case wasn't really important.....well I was busy seeing to it that every arrangement was perfect for the wedding when she suddenly pulled me to a corner and requested to see you Sydney".
I raised my brows "Who are you talking about".
"Guess who it is".
He gave way and then Queen Selena came in view. I wanted to run and hug her but then I stopped in my tracks when I noticed the expression she had on her face "Is something wrong my Queen".
She shook her head "I shouldn't be here.....Axel is definitely gonna kill me,his not gonna spare me this time especially after what has happened".
I felt my heart beating loudly in my chest " What happened my Queen,talk to us".
"Maybe you should sit down" Kiera offered.
Queen Selena shook her head "Sitting down won't solve the problem at hand" then she turned to face me "I need your help Sydney.....Julia and Alia have been kidnapped"
I gasped "Kidnapped....How.....Where.......When......".
Tears rolled down her cheeks "Axel forbad us from attending your wedding but we just couldn't afford to miss such an important step in your life so the three of us sneaked out of the house to attend......we were already half way here when I felt something wasn't right,I looked back only to see Julia and Alia were no longer walking behind me, and in their place was a letter" and she handed the later over to me.
I opened the paper and read aloud: {"THE APHA'S SISTER AND ALSO THE MATE OF THE OMEGA ARE IN MY CUSTODY....THEY HAVE ONLY 24 HOURS TO LIVE SO FIND THEM IF YOU CAN"}.
My hands starting shaking and I gave the letter back to her "Does....does Axel and the others know about this".
She shook her head " No they don't and only God knows what Axel would do to me when he finds out about it....Hunter won't protect me this time,his also gonna be so mad at me".
I removed my wedding veil "We have to find them".
"But what about your wedding ceremony" Kai requested.
"Julia and Alia are like sisters to me and they have only been kidnapped because of me,because they wanted to attend my wedding.....you don't expect me to just sit down for a ceremony knowing that their lives could be in danger do you".
Kiera came to stand beside me "Am coming with you cousin".
I smiled at her but then faced Kai "If you don't wanna come along then there's no problem,you have done enough for us and........".
"Just hold on a sec" He sighed "Am supposed to be the matured one among the three of us and been matured means I have to stop you guys from doing this no matter what it takes....". Then he groaned "But I'll come with you Sydney to help your silly friends again......but only because I don't wanna be the bad guy and all I wanna do is see you happy Sydney".
"Are you sure it's because of Sydney's happiness or are you doing it because of your mate".
He scowled at her " Keep saying nonsense and stupid things like that and and I promise to change my mind about coming along".
I summoned up courage and smiled "okay then,let's go save our friends but first,we have to tell Axel and the others about it".
