Avenging my Luna's death_No Mercy!

03

It was already nightfall. As the Alpha of the pack, tradition demands that I must announce the date for laying my Luna to rest.

I mind-linked Dorian, my Beta, to come to the court. It was just a few seconds I did it, Dorian was already in the court. “Alpha, am here."

“Please, have your seat” I told him.

“Dorian, you have been a wonderful asset to the Silverpaws pack.

I want to appreciate you for your selfless loyalty.” I spoke softly to him.

“The pleasure is all mine, Alpha.

Am always ready to give my life and all to this pack”. He said courageously.

I chuckled at him and said “Thank you”

He was expecting me to spill out the date. But I went to another dimension.

“When are you choosing your mate? You haven't marked anyone yet?.”

He was surprised. This should be the last thing he expected me to say.

I was patiently waiting for his response.

He looked at me and laughed for a

while. He bent his head and used his right hand to caress his hair.

He raised his head up and said “

Alpha, I will soon do that. Besides, that is not important at the moment. We have pressing issues at hand”

I loved his answer. He is a wise man. He knows what to say in every difficult circumstance.

“ It is necessary that you get a mate. You know what I mean?” I said to him

“I will Alpha, when the time is right and when circumstances are in my favor. The goddess will choose for me”

I laughed. We both laughed strongly.

At least, I was able to forget the sorrows and pains that were within me for a moment.

“ My Luna will be buried on the night of the full moon”

Dorian responded “Yes Alpha, we will start the necessary preparations”.

It will make me less of an Alpha if I did not ask about the deceased of my pack.

“What about the families of those that lost their loved ones?” I asked out of genuine concern.

“Well Alpha, it has not been easy with them. We are trying to see how we can condole with everyone. But honestly, it is not easy”

I could see the worries on the face of Dorian. He wished he could make everyone happy.

That is the charisma of a good leader.

“I will try and reach out to all of them after Luna's burial”. I said that to dismiss the worries on his face.

“Alpha, that will be very great. Atleast, the people of the pack will know you have them at heart”

My face changed and my eyes bulged out immediately. I was worried. “Am I failing as the Alpha?

Don't I show care and concern for my people? All these thoughts were transpiring within me.

I became curious. I wanted to know why Dorian said that.

“Do you think I don't care enough for my pack?” I asked intelligently.

I want him to be plain and give me the minds of my people.

“No, Alpha. Some thought after the brutal attack, that you were only concerned about your loss and not that of the pack.

I will suggest you quickly reach out to them, soonest”.

There is one thing I loved about Dorian.

He is an honest person.

He gives sincere answers and judgment.

Without sentiment, not minding who is involved.

“Thank you Dorian fo,r your sincerity.

I will do as you said.”

“Thank you, Alpha."
