Her Possessive Alpha

Chapter 81: EIGHTY-ONE

Gamma’s disobedience 1

Gamma Filip Kirundi was enraged by all the words he was hearing, he could not sit by and let this

happen. It was time to talk some sense into this alpha of his.

“Alpha Lucas, forgive me. I know that is not my place to speak here at all, but I beg you to

reconsider your decision of choosing not to dominate the moonlight territory. Imagine having the

leadership of our territories combined; the moonlight and the dawn pack, two of the largest territories

under one leader. We would be unstoppable Alpha Lucas, the leaders from all ends of the earth would

fear us greatly, and we would have twice as many men, twice as much resources to help those

refugees. No one would ever dare to come against us, and those rogues would be as good as dead in

our hands…” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Gamma Filip… you are only mentioning the advantages we will have over other packs, what you

do not see is that taking over such responsibility will make our home a perfect magnet for attacks, we

will be having more enemies who will envy us, who will be ready to wipe us off to take our place. Are

you willing to let plenty of lives be destroyed all because of your selfish interests? I will not allow such

to happen… We have been doing very fine with the resources we have available, and we will continue

to help those who come to us and as many as we can, but I will not take over the moonlight territory,

this is my final decision and I will not go back on my words.”

Council members Konrad and Saoirse had given up, the two lower ranking members of the council

watched and didn’t dare to speak up unlike Gamma Filip, their counterpart. It was the third member,

Jakub that decided to give it one last shot, looking in the direction of this very outspoken gamma as he

did so.

“Remember Alpha Lucas, you do not have to be the one to take over the leadership, you can send

a representative in your place instead, someone who you deem worthy enough, be it your beta or your

gamma. If you do not want to colonize the moonlight territory yourself, then you should at least grant

your blessings to someone who you think worthy enough.”

Lucas then stood up. “I am sorry to disappoint once more member Jakub, but I do not think that

there is anyone worthy enough to take such a responsibility in my pack. I think I have spared enough

time here. Thank you for hosting us, we will be taking our leave now…” Lucas stated as he began to

walk towards the exit.

Jakub continued, facing Filip but made his voice loud enough so Lucas could hear as he walked

out.

“If any of your men, beta or gamma deem themselves worthy enough to take over the leadership

of the moonlight territory, they can come and we will sign over its leadership to them, you have until

three days to reconsider your decision, alpha Lucas, after which the territory will be free for ANYONE to

colonize.”

“Filip, get up, it is time to go.” Alpha Lucas responded to Jakub’s statement by closing the court

door shut behind him, he’d left the room.

Gamma Filip sat there for a moment, anger loathing within him; never believing for a moment that

Alpha Lucas had such a cowardly side to him. This was an opportunity that plenty alphas would battle

for; an alpha lost his life because of this, and here it was, the opportunity being handed to them on a

gold platter with nothing standing in his way of the moonlight’s leadership, but yet alpha Lucas chose to

let his fear for greed and power make him forget that he is an alpha. He would not let this happen;

Alpha Lucas might have allowed his foolishness blind his better sense of judgement, but he would not

be following in his footsteps, he would not coward away from an opportunity like this, never.

**********

Lucas and Filip had just arrived back at the dawn packhouse, it was a silent ride, and none had

said anything to each other as Filip drove them home. When they finally passed the entrance of the

sanctuary and went inside, Lucas asked Filip a question; a question that had been hanging in his mind

since they’d left the supreme council court. He dismissed the guards first.

“Filip?”

“Yes, Alpha Lucas?”

“When I told you that it was time to leave back there, I noticed a delay… you took some time

before you returned back to meet me in the car. Was there something you discussed with the council

members in my absence?”

Of course, it was a crime to speak against your alpha with those from beyond your pack, whether

the alpha made a right decision or not, whether in his absence or not. But this time around, Filip didn’t

care about any such rules.

“What I discussed with them in your absence is none of your concern alpha Lucas. After all, you

were the one who walked out on them when the meeting hadn’t yet ended.”

Lucas was astounded. He didn’t expect such a bold reply. “How dare you speak to your alpha in

such a manner?”

“You lost my respect as an alpha the minute you decided to turn your back on those people who

needed you, Lucas. And because of what you did back there, you cease to be my alpha as from today,

and I cease to be your gamma.”

He took a deep breath before continued, staring straight at Lucas who was now wide open-eyed.

“As much as I hate to say it, I have done what you did not have the guts to do; I have accepted the

responsibility to become the moonlight pack’s alpha in your absence.”

Upon hearing those words, anger burned within every inch of alpha Lucas’s body.

“HOW DARE YOU KIRUNDI!!!! How dare you take such matters that have nothing to do with you

in your hands??? And you dare to do it without my consent? Without my blessing????”

“I do not need your blessing Lucas, neither do I need your consent. The council members made it

very clear that after three days the leadership will be open for ANYONE to take over remember? And

when that time comes, I will be waiting at their doorstep. I think I have served you well enough alpha

Lucas, and I thank you for all you did for my former pack, but now, I think it is time for me to pursue my

destiny.”
