Seducing The Disgraced Alpha

Relinquish your title

“Are you sure you're ready to go in there?” He asked again.

“Of course I am.” Giving him the stink eye, I walk into the judgement room.

I know am not ready to allow any of them to tell me what to do, but there's no way I'll tell that to Teny.

He might be my best friend, but there are times when I want nothing more than to bash his head on a stone. This way, it'll be damn impossible for him to preach love and what not to me.

The judgement room is like every other building we have in our pack, the only difference being the redness of the building.

The other buildings are all painted with mild colours while this one is the one only painted with red, and that's why they joke about this being a judgement room.

Inside the said judgement room, I walk straight to the long table that's currently being occupied by the elders that don't want to die.

I really don't get the reason someone will remain alive for this long. If it's not based on their wickedness, I can't think on anything else.

The five wise Elders, as they call themselves, are currently sitting on their designated chairs, their long flowing gown sweeping the floor round the place they're sitting on.

Why they thought to sew a robe as long and oversize as this is currently beyond me. I really can't think of their reason for acting that way, aside from the fact they want to appear big and intimidating to the poor souls who got sent here for judgement.

I might be the Alpha of the pack, but there are cases that are not solved by me. Cases that need to be taking to the council of wise Elders.

“Good morning, my elders.” I bow to them.

I don't need to turn to know Teny is equally bowing to them.

“Good day, Alpha Dess.” Elder Cari called out in that her annoying voice.

Most times, I have the urge to remove her tongue, and feed them to the carnivorous animals that makes an appearance once in a blue moon.

“Good day.” I bow once more.

“Good day, Beta Teny.”

“Good day.” Teny bows to her.

Looking at how formal they're acting towards each other, you'll in no way know they're related.

Not only are they too informal with each other, but there's no resemblance between them.

There's no way a person can be able to believe they're related, not at all.

Had I not grown up with Teny, I wouldn't have believed him when he introduced her as his grandma.

“I trust you know the reason you were called here?” She gives me a dark look, one I mirrored with a sick smile.

“Pray tell, my elder, I wasn't informed of the reason I was called. If it's not too much to ask from you, can you tell me the reason for this impromptu summon?” I make my face devoid of any expression.

I made it, so they won't be able to know my thoughts from my expression.

“Teny didn't tell you?” She turned an angry glare towards her grandson, who looks like he wants to be anywhere but here.

Teny is a formidable fighter and a good protector, but those things seem to take the back door whenever he's in the presence of his grandmother.

He acts more like a deer caught in headlights.

Seeing who uncomfortable he is from her scrutiny, I made sure to turn her entire focus back on me.

“He wanted to tell me the reason for my summon, but I didn't allow him to do so. I told him I want to hear the reason from your mouths, that way I'll be able to get them all.” I smile sweetly.

“And you can't get them by listening to your beta?” Elder Nim stands from his chair.

“I will, but I was rather too impatient to be here, that was why I didn't waste nay time with him.” I smile at him.

One thing I've learned about the elders is you shouldn't show your feelings. In no what should you show them exactly what you're feeling.

There's no telling what they'll use against you in their so-called judgement.

“I see.” Elder Tima nods, “since he didn't tell you the reason for your summons, I'll do the justice.” Standing from his chair, he motions for the others to sit back on their chairs.

Just like he requested, the two elders standing sat back on their chair.

“Thank you, my elder.” Bowing to him, I smile brightly. “It's so good of you to volunteer to tell me this.”

“We need you to relinquish your title.” He says those words without beating around the bush.

Unlike the others who enjoy drawing things out, Elder Tima likes going straight to the point. He doesn't waste time in talking, he says it outrightly, and goes his way.

“What? Why should I do that?” I frown at them.

“You sure know the reasons why we're asking you to do that.” He says with a frown, "the Alpha of the fiery pack is one that can't be joked with. Fighting against him isn't an optional at all, as it won't take him long to wipe the entire place should he not get what he wants.

Giving him the title now will not only save us from unnecessary troubles, but I'll strengthen our pack.

Think of what we'll gain should we merge with them.” He smiles, the expression making me too angry, I wanted to slap off that smile from his face.

“You want me to not only relinquish my title, but also summit to the Alpha of the fiery pack?”

“There's nothing wrong with that if it saves us the trouble of going to war. It's not like you've been an Alpha for a long time. Giving up your title and submitting to the new Alpha as his Beta can't be all that bad at all.” Elder Nim says.

“It's not bad at all?” I scoff, “tell me, Elders, will you happily give up your positions for other elders who weren't here when you created the council of Elders?” I threw a bait their way, and they stupidly caught it.
