Killianâs POV My motherâs lips bobbed up and down like a fish unable to answer my simple question.
My frown deepened at her strange reaction, but she immediately steeled herself by faking a cough.
âHuh?â My mother shot back at me once she had recovered. âI- 1- of course! Your father wouldnât have been the Alpha if he hadnât met me sooner,â my mother answered haughtily.
âEveryone knows how your grandfather was convinced by Drystanâs performance and started to consider him the Alpha. If your father hadnât met me sooner, your grandfather would have passed the position on Drystan instead,â my mother shook her head in disdain as she was reminded of the past.
I slowly nodded my head when I finally understood what my mother meant. I was just thinking too much. My doubts finally vanished when I heard her answer.
In werewolf Packs, it is our tradition to pass down a position. or a title to the next generation only when the heir has found their mate.
It has always been like that in all Packs. The next Alpha should ascend to their position along with their Luna. In that way, the Alpha wouldnât have a hard time handling the Pack affairs on his own because he would immediately have the support of his Luna from the start.
This is the reason why ascensions happen most of the time after weddings. In the morning, the wedding will take place, and once the full moon has come out, they will use the same +18 with preparations and proceed that way, save everyoneâs time and money.
Still, there are future Alphas who get wed first, and they wait for months before they can ascend to their titles. It really depends on the circumstances at Packs.
Although all Packs follow this kind of tradition, there are still exceptions. Sometimes, future Alphas need to take their positions early without a mate on their side because of unforeseen circumstances, such as the death of their parents.
There were some rare cases where sons would kill their fathers just so they could ascend to their position earlier than they should.
In some unfortunate circumstances, the Alpha dies too early before their heir can reach the right age to rule their Pack. In this case, only two things may happen.
Itâs whether they stay faithful to the young heir and support him until he is ready to rule the Pack, or they would just kill him or contest his right to be the Alpha.
âLetâs not make this drag too long, shall we? Set the earliest date possible so we can start sending the invitations to other packs.â My mind jumped back to reality again when I heard her words.
âI donât think this is a good idea, mother. Giselle is not yet ready for any position, as you know. This is not just about her reputation and how the Pack members might react, but sheâs not exactly worthy of becoming the Packâs Luna either,â I tried to reason out with her.
+16 BONUS I even yet, but could feel just uproar that it would Iâve been dealing with a lot of problems lately. I donât want a controversy like this to add to my problems. Iâd rather just do all these tasks alone my whole life than deal with my peopleâs hatred.
After all, even if I marry Giselle and make her my Luna, I donât think she would be capable enough to help with some of my tasks.
âLearning can take time, but this canât wait any longer.â my mother argued back. âI will teach her, and I will train her until she learns everything that she needs to learn.â
I scoffed. âShe even failed a very basic task, mother. I donât think she would ever be as capable as a Luna.â
Her eyes turned into slits when she heard my words. âHave you lost your mind, Killian?!â My mother snapped at me. âIâm just concerned about my grandson, which is why Iâm asking you to do this! Are you not concerned about your own son at all?!â
I fell silent at her words.
âThe child that Giselle is carrying right now is your own flesh and blood. Just imagine what psychological effects it would cause your child if he grows up with a broken family. My grandson is going to be the future Alpha of this Pack. Our future depends on him!â
1 let out a deep breath as I lost all words to say.
I donât want to marry Giselle, ever. I never even wanted what happened between we All of these are mistakes, but I be wellfish weedially against my own son.
Ull now, my heart is still broke about how things ended between Astrd and me. If itâs not Astrid, I donât want anyone eles 10 claims the Luna Position now could you be selfish on your own son?â My mother questioned me with a soft voice, adding quilt to my heart.
âAlright, letâs do as you say, but put Giselle in charge of everything I already have a lot on my hands right now. I couldnât face planning for a wedding.â I muttered in surrender with heaviness in my heart.
Whatâs the point of leaving the Luna position empty just for Astrid? Astrid already chosen someone else. Thereâs no way she would ever come back to me again.
Giving in to my delusions will not only ruin my life, but I might also end up ruining my sonâs life as well.
Right now, I should be focusing on how to be a better father to my son.
Selene Souchon Author Oh no! Killian is now going to move on Astrid and on the is not even his instead. Giselle finally got what she wanted, sheâs going be the Luna soon ð
