Lilah POV
"I, Lincoln Thomas future Alpha of the Emerald Green Pack reject you, Lilah Benecio, as my mate and future Luna."
Doubling over his hands clutch at his chest as pain rips through his body, grasping onto the table to steady himself before he continues.
"I cannot have a weak, wolfless omega as my mate. Lunas are meant to strengthen our pack and our Alpha, you cannot do either of those things."
Lifting my lips in a smirk I simply c**k my head to the side waiting to see if he had finished. Once recovered and seeing my amusement at what he said he stalked towards me and my head was whipped to the side with the force of his punch.
"ACCEPT. NOW." He roared at me.
Feeling the blood trickle down my face I don't bother to wipe it away. "Oh I will Alpha, however I do believe if you are rejecting your goddess given mate you have to have a witness from both families or proxy present."
With a snarl his eyes darken with anger. Seeing his eyes cloud over I wait.
"Alpha Johnson is on his way over, I suggest you contact your aunt immediately or I will turn you rogue." A small giggle escaped my lips before I covered my mouth with my hands.
"Of course Alpha, my witness will be here shortly." I reply before taking a seat on the sofa.
The door to the office slams open revealing Alpha Johnson and Luna Maria. Striding towards the chair the Alpha puts his hands on the desk leaning forward. "Lilah I hear you're refusing to accept my sons rejection, I'm hear now, let's proceed and get this embarrassment over with. Honestly he has been home for a day after being away for a year and this is what we have to deal with."
"My witness is not yet here Alpha" I replied bowing my head slightly, "until they are I shall wait."
His eyes darken in fury, seeing his wolf come forward he commands "accept my sons rejection now and never breath a word of what has transpired here in this office to anyone. We will not be made an embarrassment of an Alpha family by others knowing of an Alpha - Omega mate bond." I spin around and simply smile looking him directly in his eyes, "No Alpha. The laws are clear, I shall wait for my witness to attend before the acceptance can happen."
Shock laces their faces as I show no indication of the command having an affect on me. Most would be on their knees, necks bared in submission at the force of his command. With a slight smile I continue to sit on the sofa gazing around the room. Luna Maria recovers first, "Darling, she has no wolf. A mere human will not feel the effects on the Alpha command, perhaps other methods would be more...persuasive." She says with glee in her eyes.
Walking towards me until she is standing over me she grabs my wrist. I could have laughed, her small 5"3 frame did nothing for the effects she was hoping for. Raising my eyebrow I wait for her next move.
"Young girl, you have lots to learn" and with a swift move of her arm and a resounding crack I look up at my broken wrist. "You respect your Alpha, you should know your place. You. Are. Nothing."
Suddenly Beta James flies through the door, eyes wide in panic, "Alpha, Alpha quick. His Highness is here, drove through the gates and will be here in a couple of minutes. I was unaware of an audience scheduled today, what would you like me to do?"
"The King? We have no scheduled audiences for another 2 months, what is he doing here? Ready the reports on the rogue attacks and have him brought to my study immediately, we cannot keep him waiting. Let me just tidy this small mess first." Alpha Johnson ordered, "son head down to great His Highness on my behalf." Lincoln gulps and bows his head, he strides out the door and down the stairs whilst I sit and gaze at Alpha Johnson still resting my broken wrist on my lap.
"Now" he snarls turning his attention back to me " you will accept my sons rejection and you will be announced as a rogue. You dare disobey my orders and my family, be lucky your punishment isn't death."
I quickly stand staring at Alpha Johnson, taking a deep breath I reply sternly "as I said Alpha, I will be more than happy to accept your sons rejection once my witness has arrived. Although now it seems you are busy, perhaps we should proceed with this after your meeting with the King."
He nostrils flare in anger and with his full Alpha aura released him and his wolf roar "ACCEPT MY SONS REJECTION"
I couldn't stop the laugh from escaping me, wiping the tear from my eye I continue to giggle.
"Is something funny to you she-wolf?" an authoritative voice said from behind me, the combination of the auras in the room becoming stifling.
Turning towards the door my eyes fall on a middle aged man, his eyes bright blue and cold set in an expressionless face. His aura reeking of power.
"Not at all....King. I was just here reminding the Alpha of our laws for a rejection to take place. He seems to be a little lax in his knowledge of the mating laws."
Refusing to lower my gaze in submission I quietly wait for the King to respond. He looks over me, taking in my broken wrist and the blood on my face which I'm sure is where a good bruise is beginning to form. With a slight raise of the corner of his mouth he turns his attention to behind me. "Well let's remind him shall we? Alpha Johnson, as I'm sure you are aware a witness from either family or a proxy has to be present for the rejection to be accepted by the mood goddess, for that not to happen it would bring great damage to your pack in the future. I believe this she-wolf is still doing what is best for the pack is she not? A quality of a Luna if I may even mention" he says with a soft chuckle.
"K..King, I was unsure as to how to proceed as this girl showed at Omega Claire's door when she was simply 12 years old. We are not even sure if they are family..." he trails off grasping as straws.
"Hence the mention of proxy. I'm sure you did the blood bond when she joined the pack no? It seems Alpha Johnson you are a bit unsure of the laws of the packs still, perhaps a council elder residing in the pack for a month will rectify this issue" the King quickly responded. "Now we may as well proceed with the rejection shall we not...she-wolf explain how you got those injuries? Have you been partaking in taking down the rogues alongside the warriors?"
"No your Highness. Lincoln here was unhappy with my reminder of the law of witnesses" waving at my swollen face, "and Luna Maria was reminding me of respect and my position in the pack" raising my broken wrist for him to gaze at.
His eyes narrow, a slight emotion flitting across his face briefly before his expressionless mask was back in place.
"ALPHA Lincoln to you Omega" hisses Luna Maria, "it seems you have remembered nothing from my demonstration a few minutes ago."
A small chuckle escapes the King, Luna Maria's eyes widen in shock before she straightens her back and smiles widely, pride clear in her eyes.
"Your Highness, we believe teaching our pack members respect of the utmost importance. I'm glad you approve of my method of doing so today."
"Luna...Maria is it? How do you expect pack members to be willing to respect the higher members within the pack if you resort to violence against a wolfless omega as you say to prove your point. You will only increase resistance to you and your Alphas leadership and respect? You will have none. And you call yourself a Luna" the King scoffs.
Luna Maria's face pales and she takes a couple of small steps back. "Your H....Highness, I would never..never bully within our pack."
With this another laugh escaped my lips. The King turning in amusement gesturing for me to speak. "You say you don't bully Luna...however is Omega Amelia currently in the cells and has been for the last 3 days because she tripped over a lifted carpet corner and spilt red wine on the bottom of your dress? Have you just broken my wrist to try and remind me of my place? Did I or did I not see you screaming at your maids yesterday because they were unaware of you having more guests than you mentioned so did not bring all the food up in one go?" Opening and closing her mouth the Luna could only look at me in shock. "Nothing to say I see." I say with a smirk. "Your Highness I would like to proceed with the rejection now."
"You do not have your witness as you have so..kindly...reminded us Omega" Alpha Johnson snarls, "Forgotten your point already have you."
"On the contrary Alpha, I have waited long enough" saying no more I look to the King for his agreement.
"I believe you have she-wolf. Let's proceed, but first I think you should really fix that wrist of yours my child."
Looking down at my wrist as if I forgot, I look up slightly and saw a smirk cross the Kings lips. "Yes...Father"
