465-Challenging The Alpha King.
“Excuse me?” Janet rushed to her feet to let out a sigh of a complaint.
“Come on! We have marked each other, remember?” Corbin said to her, his lips forming a fake pout.
“You forced me,” she stared at his face, her chest rising and falling with her raced breathing.
“Can you prove it?” Corbin shrugged.
“You cannot come into my pack and threaten my Royal Beta.” Theo stretched his neck, silently waiting for Corbin to realize his presence, but when he didn’t, he spoke up.
“I am not forcing her. It is a law that she must give me a chance before she even decides to reject me. You see! This generation has made acceptance and rejection such a game that we had to take strong measures so that nobody just accepts someone and then rejects them the next day,” Corbin smiled, leaning to grab a grape and toss it in his mouth.
While doing so, he passed me a quick glance and then grinned.
“You cannot take her away,” I joined Theo, who was closing his eyes and breathing heavily, repeating the process over and over again to calm himself down.
“You are welcome to protest, but then the council will have to look into this matter. And if—,” he then turned to Theo, who seemed to be preparing to lose his temper, “Anyone disrespected the alpha king, they will be put behind the bars,” Corbin instantly reminded Theo what fate he will face if he didn’t control his anger.
“Anyway, my dear Luna! Why don’t you go pack your bags and meet me here? I am kind of in a rush,” he shrugged, tapping her shoulder while she jumped away from him.
Dividing into pages now
It was just a very scary moment for us. We couldn’t go against him because the council will punish us and Corbin will get to take her away, anyway. As for Theo, a single word from him could get him in trouble because, being a Lycan, he will get judged heavily.
“Actually!” Kellice yelled, getting attention for herself. She was the one who grabbed the file and started going through it.
“The rule also says that there will be no transfer of the Luna if the Alpha King is preparing for a battle,” Kellice mumbled, but Corbin started chuckling at her words.
“I believe you have never lived in a prestigious pack before, or else you would have known there is no war going on right now,” Corbin sighed at her, making fun of her knowledge.
Kellice only smiled at him before she st*ggered to her feet.
“If only you were very aware of your surroundings, you would know. You are being challenged for your title, and you never found out?” Kellice asked him as she approached him.
“Easy there!” Corbin clenched his jaw. “You are making claims,” he warned her, but her smile never faded away.
“I am just letting you know what is coming for you.” She folded her arms over her chest and deepened her eye contact with him, showing him she was not afraid of him.
“Aha!” Corbin bobbed his head. “May I have your details? I would love to read your documents and see where you have been living all this time. And also, please inform me of your status in the pack. He inquired because he suspected her identity.
A little panic struck me, but she looked unconcerned. Theo steadily leaped onto his feet and got in between the two, blocking Kellice from Corbin’s eyes.
“I, as an alpha, will take care of that. You should concentrate on your training,” Theo smirked. Watching him smile made Corbin angry. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth angrily.
“For what?” Corbin chose to ignore the hints in order for Theo to be honest with him.
“You are getting challenged for the crown,” Theo stated and straightened his back. Maynard and Lazlo shared a glance before they rushed to their feet to approach Theo and stand beside him. I am sure they didn’t know what was happening but then wanted to redeem themselves by standing with Theo this time.
“Who is challenging me?” Corbin asked in a deep and depressed tone. It was funny that he wasn’t smiling anymore, while everybody else looked happy.
“Take a wild guess,” Theo’s words prompted Corbin to look around before returning his gaze to Theo and taking a step back from him.
I am not an expert in body language, but Corbin looked frightened. I am assuming he took it wrong.
“Do you need water?” Theo teased, grabbing a glass and offering it to him.
“You will have to submit papers—-,” Corbin said, but Theo’s hard head nod forced him into silence.
“Don’t worry, I know what needs to be done. Why don’t you go home and save the energy for the match?” Theo advised him while he.drank from the glass himself.
The silence in Corbin’s existence was worth watching. He never imagined fighting against a Lycan.
“Very well then, If you didn’t submit the papers in the next few
days, I will come back to collect my mate,” Corbin spared everyone a glance but avoided Theo.
Needless to say, Theo had stolen the world from beneath his feet. He gave us all one last head nod before heading away from us.
After he had left, we all let out a sigh of relief while I ran to hug Janet to comfort her. Her heart was pounding so hard already.
“So, you are going to fight him for the crown?” Lazlo asked Theo, who was biting the inside of his cheek and brainstorming in silence.
“No!” Theo shook his head. Maynard and Lazlo turned to us to see what our reaction was to Theo’s statement.
“But you just sai— so there is no pending match?” Maynard failed to comprehend why Theo lied when he said he wasn’t going to challenge Corbin.
“There is,” Theo shook himself into reality and faced the two, asking him questions, “But I am not the one who is fighting him,” Theo took a pause before he mumbled,
“She is.” With that, he pointed at me, and when the two followed his hand, they gasped.
