The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 211

~Leo~

Morning came, and I put it upon myself to address the omegas for their conduct. Macy came to fix the house, and I asked her to ensure all the Omegas were in the service quarters before seven thirty in the morning.

I could see the worry in her eyes because she knew something terrible must have happened. She dared not ask me why, so she only nodded and hurried through her chores.

Once it was seven-thirty, I asked Amelia to accompany me to the service quarters.

She had a frown on her face that indicated she was curious about my intentions, but I smiled to let her know it was okay.

I knew if I told her what I planned to do to the omegas, she might object and ask me to leave it alone. I had slowly begun to notice that Amelia did not like trouble, and she let things go quickly, which meant I needed to protect her from people that might want to take advantage of her qualities.

Amelia and I arrived at the service quarters together, and the omegas stood in front of their bunk bed.

They were also worried, and they had a good reason to be.

I had put two kappa outside, ready to teach them a lesson. I would not condone anyone disrespecting my mate.

"Good morning, Alpha," they greeted me, and I did not respond.

"Good Morning Luna Amelia," some of them quickly corrected themselves.

Their behaviour was baffling.

If I were screwing them or had any form of dealings with them, I would understand their reasons, but being deliberately disrespectful to my mate was uncalled for.

I had mistakenly placed her with them when she arrived, but it was only for a few days. To think those few days would cause this level of disrespect was appalling. It was time to set them straight, and I did not plan on taking it easy on them.

"Macy, step forward," I said, and the head Omega did as ordered.

I could smell her fear.

Unlike the others, Macy knew they were in trouble.

She bowed with her tear-filled eyes, never looking into my eyes.

Amelia touched my hand gently, already pleading with me to take it easy, but someone had to be the bad guy here.

"I see you all have grown wings and forgotten your station and purpose," I started, and a worried look dawned on their faces. Seeing how they were too stupid to figure out, they were in trouble was annoying.

"There is a hierarchy, and there is a reason for it. Wolves thrive on order. History has shown without order, there will be chaos.

The hierarchy is innate and not given hence why our wolves have ranks. That aside, it is mandatory for you to respect your Alpha.

I do not only own the land you live on; I feed you all, clothe you, keep you sane and keep you all safe.

I expect you all will have some level of," respect for me as your leader I said, and some of them began to shed tears because they figured they were in a mess.

"I called a meeting in the morning yesterday and introduced my Luna to everyone. What did you all do in the evening when she tried to organise you to help the refugees?" I asked, and they were silent.

"Some of you ignored her and did as you liked. Some of you glared at her. Some of you even laughed at her," I said and took a deep breath, and exhaled.

"Amelia is a Delta and my Luna. Even if she were an Omega, the beta must show her respect and serve her, let alone omegas. I laid people off the last time, which I believe was a bit lenient," I said.

"This time around, I will make the noticeable ones scapegoats," I said, asking those guilty of the crime to step forward.

"Let this be a warning. I will do worse if Amelia is ever disregarded, disrespected, or laughed at again. I might be a nice man, but I am a monster when it comes to people I presume as my enemies. Anyone that disrespects, disregards or mocks my mate is my enemy and will be dealt with accordingly," I said and turned to leave.

"We are sorry, Luna Amelia," the ones I called out began to plead.

Amelia tried to plead on their behalf, but I won't have it.

I knew how the omegas were. They were at the bottom, so they always tried to exert some form of dominance over people they presumed as easy prey. The action I was taking would ensure they do not repeat their mistake.

While leaving, I asked the kappas to publicly deal with the selected omegas and make a spectacle of them. They should also announce their crimes to advise other pack members who might be thinking along the same line. It was necessary.

Amelia understood my reasons without me expressing myself and let it be. She wasn't pushy, and she never tried to get her way. Her qualities were unending. But I will let her have her way next time.

After breakfast, Casper linked me that Alexei had arrived.

It was ten minutes to nine, and I admired his punctuality. Still, he was a foe, and I planned on being careful with him.

I did not tell Max and Kyle Alexei was around, but I told Amelia.

I also told her not to follow me to the office in case things got bloody. She wanted to come because of the silver thing, but I doubted Alexei would be stupid enough to attack me. Marcel, Theo and I would have subdued our attacker had his peers not joined. Knowing that alone gave me confidence.

I walked to my office and saw Alexei waiting patiently in the reception. The moment I entered, he stood up and greeted me respectfully. He wasn't arrogant like he was at the eastern council meeting. It was as if I was dealing with a different person.

I ushered him into my office, and he followed quietly.

"Punctual," I said, sitting on my chair, and he smiled.

"I dare not keep the head Alpha waiting," he said, and I nodded with approval.

I stared at him briefly and decided to cut to the chase.

"Why the attacks, Alexei? Is Hill Valley not enough? Did you have to try to take Brentwood too?" I asked, and he sighed.

"There are things I am not at liberty to explain, Alpha, and, unfortunately, you are caught in the middle of it, but I had no choice but to try to take Brentwood," He said and frowned at him.
