The Right Alpha

"No one wanted what happened. Please don't blame yourself", he comforted the lady whom he realized Sebastian is maternally related to.

"Do you think Diana is still… alive? I heard you imprinted on her too", Priscilla stood and held Roman's hand with the most sincerest eyes.

"I did…", he smiled a little at the genuineness of this woman's care for his Luna. "…and I'll find her, before this place turns to hell's town", Roman said as he clasp on Priscilla's hand then let go.

"My husband didn't mean what he said. He's just upset from everything that's happening", Priscilla said as her lips tremble.

Roman didn't answered. He just patted her shoulder and left. When he was about to leave, he heard a voice of a woman shouting in the other room. He peeked through the crevice finding Scott on bed speaking with a woman leaning against the wooden window. Overhearing their conversation, the lady seemed to be very upset.

"How could you be so sure when you can't even remember what happened to you? So how in the world did the Devlin's patented poison got into you? How can someone dare use our own weapons against us and against an Alpha?", Reina shouted.

"The night was blurry, anyone will attack without hesitations with a lycan at large", Scott grunted at his slowly healing wound.

Before Reina could reply, Scott whiffed a scent of an undesirable guest. "Reina, leave us", Scott ordered.

Reina went out as she give out a cold stare at Roman. "You look like you'll live", Roman said as he looked briefly at Scott's awfully painful wound on his flank.

As he went in, Roman take a quick glance at the entire room. Scott's maple room is bigger than Sebastian's. The gray fur carpets, brown velvet loveseat, and short beige curtains matched the rustic interior. The light is dim and the room opposed the relatively stuffy air from Sebastian's room. It's the only part of the house where there's few greenery thriving in vigor.

"A long and happy life, I suppose", Scott groaned as he sat with his feet on the floor. He knew that one day, he'd meet Roman face to face again concerning the Luna. Something that he needs to do eventually. "I don't think you're here to check on me", he said.

Roman continued to look around until he reached the window. He glanced outside and saw the moon still hanging up in the morning sky. "I am as confused as the moon during the day.. Honestly, to speak with you is not certainly on my list", Roman said as he leaned against the window.

"Did you find her?", Scott asked.

"I wouldn't be here if I did", Roman said as he sat down on the loveseat. The dissension between the two Alphas filled the atmosphere conflicted by a common Luna.

"I know you imprinted on her too.. I was told she's a unique one, I never expected it would have to come to this", Scott said.

"I presume you know I won't let her go", Roman replied. "You see, Mr. Devlin. I am a very selfish man. I don't share and I claim what's mine", Roman crossed his legs as he leaned back.

"I think you're wasting your time here, Roman", Scott scoffed at his arrogance. "Diana have already chosen her Alpha", Scott added as he stood with difficulty.

"I didn't know you can be so funny. How can you be her Alpha when you can't even protect her?", Roman grinned. "How dare you call yourself an Alpha when you let your entire clan face a horrific carnage as the town turn to a bloodshed..", Roman replied as he leaned forward. "The question is.. where were you? ", he whispered.

Scott tightened his jaw at Roman's words. Roman is blatantly disdainful to demean Scott's character on a perfect opportunity where in fact, he can vaguely call to mind all puzzling details related last night. He froze from where he is standing while Roman attack him with his offensive wordplay.

"What? Can't catch your tongue?", Roman smirked seeing Scott's face turn white. "Did you know how the lycan's blazing eyes stared at Diana like it will ravage her whole? How it distinctly chased my Luna for her delicious blood? And, how it viciously attacked everyone who came on its way just to reach her?", Roman glared at Scott as he stood up.

"How about this.. Do you know how tightly she embraced me for being scared? How she gripped your brother's hand so she won't be alone? And how she desperately ran away when she could even hardly walk with her wounded leg?", Roman walked towards Scott as they stare obtrusively.

"You were never there, Scott", Roman squinted

his eyes as he gritted his teeth. "And for all the proper reasons, I am the right Alpha for Diana. This place isn't safe for her anymore. Your clan is on a headhunt for my Luna. I'll take her as soon as I find her", he added.

Scott exhaled sharply as he sat back down. "Right.. I'm a flawed head of the clan, and I'm bound to make more mistakes. I blame no one but myself for the deaths of my people, for risking the life of my Luna after bringing her here, and worse, for not being there to secure them from danger.", Scott winced on his then bleeding wound. "But that doesn't mean I should easily falter and wimp out. I am lucky to have a pack who assured Diana's safety in my absence, and a clan strong enough not to lose hope without my presence. Diana is my Luna, it's her decision if she still wants me or not...", he clenched his hand on his lap.

"I think I have the slightest idea where were you last night." Roman placed Scott's gunmetal lighter on the table. "I know it's you. I can smell the beast in you. I'll just have to see it myself on the next full moon.", he said as he left the room leaving Scott staring at the lighter. Before closing the door, he turned back and said, "I'll make sure she chooses me".

As to when Roman's about to descend the stairs, he sensed a putrid stench coming from Sebastian's room. He opened the door and saw a big black bird just flew out of the window. Checking on Sebastian who's sleeping alone in the room, he noticed that his leg wound have already been healed, no wounds and no scars. He peeked outside the window, and saw the bird flying out into the wilderness.
