chapter 12

Drake..

I stood in shock when I saw Emily slap Lia. I wanted to laugh but decided not to. It was really funny; I thought Lia was smart and wise, but I guess the goddess found her match.

"Do not ever say those words to my son. I don't care if this is your pack, but do not forget that I am the alpha of the Lycan pack. I will bring you down in a second if you want. Do not dare say rude words to my son. If you try saying those words to my son, I will make sure you regret it. I have tried so hard to try and make things calm with you, but you are pushing me to do something worse."

I stood there not knowing if I should interfere or just stand there staring at them both. I watched as Emily was about to walk away, only for Lia to pull her back.

"Who do you think you are, a goddess? I will not fear you. You should think of something better. You cannot come into other people's packs and try to be the boss. I am the Luna of the crisom Moon pack, and you should be respecting me because you are not in my pack. This son of yours, I think it's best you put him in his place. I hate having an enemy's child behind me; it makes me sick."

Emily pulled her hand away, and I could see how she sternly stared at her son and scolded,

"Baby, give a moment, let mommy handle this."

I watched as the little boy ran away, and before I knew what was happening, another slap landed on Lia's face.

"Instead of you to think of how to give birth to your own child who will not make you sick, yet you try to be a fool and go looking for trouble. I am not usually the type to be messed with, but I will deal with you if you think you can talk to an alpha like me. I don't care if this is your pack, but you will regret ever crossing paths with me."

I quickly walked over there as I saw how the two of them stared at each other as if they were about to engage in a battle. I just didn't know what to do; it felt like I was standing in front of a woman who disliked me.

"Can we all just stop?"

Saying that, Lia looked at me with a look of disgust and then turned back to Emily,

"Instead of trying to bring the pack together, you let this fool destroy it. You know how hard we have worked to make sure that this pack stands. You are a fool, and I am disappointed to have an alpha who doesn't know the values of anything."

I watched as Lia walked away with anger, and just as Emily was about to do the same, I held her hand and stopped her, feeling a strong connection, something I had felt for a very long time. I suddenly felt like I was standing close to my mate. Was this really my second chance mate?

She quickly pulled her hand away, and I saw how angrily she looked at me before she slapped me.

"You have no right to touch or stop me. I think it's best you put your mate in her place. If this is how the crimson Pack behaves, how will I even want to have anything to do with the pack? I decided to stay for a week, but it doesn't mean I want to stay and get insulted. Also, listen, I have a lot to do, and most of the time I think it's best you stop trying to stop me. Your Luna needs some serious advice."

As she was about to walk away again, I pulled her back, and just as she was about to slip out of my hands, I quickly moved her closer to me, holding her by her waist.

I could sense that as she stared back at me, I didn't feel like letting go. I wanted her to stay in this position; I felt free like I had found my lost piece.

"I am sorry for my Luna's treatment of you. Please, I hope you can forgive her."

I saw how she looked at me, then moved her hands towards my shoulder, and just before I knew it, she pushed me away, and I fell to the floor as she moved back.

"You all in this castle are crazy. I couldn't believe I wasted my time coming here just to see how crazy you guys are. I thought I could make peace, but now I think it's great that I am leaving. I never want you in my pack because if you do, I will make sure you regret everything."

I watched as she walked away, feeling confused and not knowing what to do. Just then, my Beta ran over to me and lifted me up.

"Sir, are you okay?" he asked, and I looked at him and nodded, placing my hand on my chest as my heart was beating fast. I just didn't know what was really going on with me. Why do I feel hurt? Why do I feel like I don't want her to go? Why am I feeling this way?

I turned around and walked back in the direction of Lia's room. I will make sure she regrets everything she just did. If the Lycan pack and the crisom pack don't make peace, I will ensure she regrets it.

As I walked, anger surged through me, feeling like I was letting Derek take control because he was also angry. Standing in front of her room, I opened the door only to see her taking off her shoes.

"Drake," she said as I moved towards her and held her by the neck. In a low voice, I spoke,

"What do you think you have done?"
