Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 182 Katya POV Andrei called me and told me the news last night. What I wasnât expecting was a call from him at lunch time to say Dominic had interfered and he was behind all of it. How the heck did he manage that within a few hours of the Alpha meeting.
Andrei told me of his demands and I was half tempted to go through with it. From what I heard of this Clive from Andrei it made my blood boil.
Andrei said to look for any dirt I could find on him, and I had already petitioned for the laws to be changed not even an hour later was it rejected saying I needed support from other Alphaâs. Sitting at Ezraâs desk, I combed through the pack laws looking for anything that could help.
It didnât matter what I found though, I knew Dominic would find a way around it. He was dirty and he didnât like that he was supposed to answer to me now. I never said he had to step down. Either way he would have some role in the packs. He was Alpha of Alphaâs, I never wanted his title to begin with, but the moment things got out about Jacksonâs pack the rumours started and he obviously felt threatened. He can keep his title, none of us want it anyway we were well and truly above Alphaâs of Alphaâs. We werenât taking anything from him, we were just adding a new title to the mix, one higher than his. If he didnât challenge me in the first place we wouldnât be in this mess.
âStill no word from Seline?â Ezra asks, walking into the office. I hop out of his chair and he sits down before I plonk back down on his lap.
âNo, she will come when she isnât busy. I feel she is hiding something from me thoughâ
âLike what?â He asks, resting his chin on my shoulder.
â I donât know, she has become more distant and her answers have been shorter, or more crypticâ I tell him.
â Since when is that anything new, you know she likes to speak in riddlesâ
âI know, but itâs different. I donât know last time I saw her she looked tiredâ I tell him which was really strange. Seline always had this certain air around her, she was always glowing and looking perfect but lately it was like something was haunting her.
âWho knows, maybe confront her, you are technically a Goddess now and her prodigy so why not demand answers?â He says and I sigh. He taps the book in front of me.
âExactly what are you looking for?â I shrug âsomething that will help I guess, have you actually read this, I donât think any laws have been updated since the l8oosâ I tell him looking at some of the ridiculous laws.
âNope, I just know the ones that we actually use nowâ
âWell did you know it is illegal to ride a horse backwards, up a main street?â I chuckle.
âWhat? That canât be real?â He says, turning the book and looking at it.
âYep real and itâs right thereâ I tell him pointing to it.
âOh here is another stupid one. It is illegal to possess 50 kgs of potatoesâ Ezra laughs.
âWho would want 5okgs of potatoes?â I tell him, shaking my head.
âProbably someone with a taste for homemade Vodka. From the prohibition maybeâ Ezra chuckles.
âAnd here is another, Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons. I think youâre right these laws are severely outdated and some are utterly ridiculousâ he shakes his head.
âYes, I think someone actually needs to go over and amend some of these, like this one for instance. If a man finds their mate and the mate is underage, you have a right to take them, apparently to preserve their maidenhood to ensure purityâ I tell Ezra and he scrunches up his face.
âMaybe flick through the newer laws, where did you even find this?â he asks.
âOn your bookshelfâ I tell him flicking through the dates to find this century, law had been added over the years but none removedâ
âWhen was the last time laws were changed?â I asked him curiously.
âNot while I have been Alpha that is for sureâ Ezra tells me. We searched every law. Nothing helpful but I did find something and I was waiting for Ezra to come back to ask him what he thought of it because he went to make more coffee.
When he returns I look up smiling, praying I was right. âWhy are you smiling?â He asks, placing the mug down in front of me.
âI wanted to ask a question actually. Pack courts, it says, are decided by a panel of judges all of which are Alphaâs, and a law canât be passed unless at least half the states Alphaâs agree on the changeâ I tell him.
âYes that is correct, I donât see how that helps Andrei thoughâ He says.
âWell not one Alpha would sign the petition or appear in court for meâ I tell him.
âObviouslyâ
âWhat about the Lunaâs, they are technically Alpha females, why does it have to be the Alpha of the Pack, there is nothing stating the Lunaâs canât sign off on itâ
âYou expect them to go against their mates and Alpha?â Ezra asks.
âNo, but the majority of them are mothers. The Alphaâs wonâ t help because of Dominic and their loyalties to him, but the woman might. It was clear at the meeting they didnât like being pushed off to the sides, they are just as important as the Alpha, their role within the packs is just as importantâ
âKat, Iâm sorry but I am telling you not one Luna will go against their mate and Alphaâ
âYouâ re wrong, I am not asking them as Luna. I will be asking them as mothers. If I explain the situation surely one would sign. If I could get one to step up beside me, I reckon the rest will follow. They want change, Ezra. They want a say. And this law is ancient and absolutely ridiculous. No child should be forced to go live with someone because they are a blood relative, especially if that person isnât a safe option. Human laws are about the child, yet pack laws are outdated and it is about the bloodlines, tell me one werewolf that still has Lycan DNA?â
âNone, everyone knows that, and I am pretty sure when that law was made it was from when we still had royals and it was more about keeping the royal bloodlines pure, you know cousin fuckingâ Ezra says before cringing. I shudder, not that I had anything to worry about because I had no cousins and today was a modern century but that just showed how badly some of these laws needed to change because some were barbaric.
âThen why are still going by Lycan laws?â I tell him. Ezra sighs and rubs a hand down his face.
âExactly how do you plan on speaking to the other Lunaâsâ
âWell in todayâs day and age, we have a thing called social media and we have Electricity to charge the phone sitting on your deskâ I tell him and he rolls his eyes.
âSo you are going to f******k every Luna, or ring themâ
â If thatâs what it takesâ I tell him. He huffs before digging through his filing cabinet.
âWhat are you looking for?â
âPack lists, so you can search up the Lunaâs names and the packhouse numbers, what are you going to do if the Alpha answers though, you know you canât command over the phone, it doesnât work that wayâ
Fated To The Alpha ï¤Chapter 181 Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son ï¤Chapter 149: Epilogue âPlay dumb ask if I can speak to their Luna because I am so hopeless and need to get parenting advice, I have a collicky baby apparently and looking for helpâ I tell him and he chuckles.
âHere, I will leave you with this while you Luna talk. Sing out if you need meâ He says, kissing my forehead and leaving me with Alpha Directory.
I set to work writing the most recent Lunaâs names and their contact details. All while trying to figure out what had got into the Moon Goddess, I was beginning to worry and I knew she was keeping something from me. I have been trying to contact her since the Alpha meeting about the strange vision Jonah gave me but still no word from her. I also needed to ask about the twins and Dominic and this darkness that wonât leave completely like it used to.
