Chapter 6 Challenging The Alpha I

It's been two days since the day of the moon and after my decision. A pit had opened inside of my soul. Even my stomach couldn't hold anything.

My mother has been completely hitting my door begging me to let her in. I laid on my king sized bed and cried my soul out, letting out my pains out in wails and sobs.

I haven't even taken a bath I was still in the dress I wore at the ceremony, my make-up was a mess, my make-up was smudged at different corners of my face, but I didn't care to wipe it off I didn't want to go to the bathroom cause there I'll see my reflection on the mirror; I was scared of what I've turned into.

I wondered how Markus would hold this pain, it was easier on me because I offered the rejection, it would be harder on Markus because he's the one who was rejected.

It was surprising that Caleb hadn't come bashing at my door. I knew soon enough he would.

My mom cried and cried begging me to open up the door, or eat or just look at her. I knew this prophecy broke her heart. She was never in agreement with this plan but what could she do but comfort me; she couldn't defer the orders of her Alpha even if he were her mate.

Day Six of this mental torture and I became sick to the heart I hadn't eaten but I kept on throwing up soon I felt my bladder was going to drop out of my mouth, my wolf, Queen, had retracted into a shell, she refused to talk to me I knew she was mourning her loss but being an Alpha wolf, it gave her a slip at the pain, I was happy she understood, one day she prayed... that our mate might also understand.

I was still in my train of thoughts when a resounding bang hit my wooden door.

"Ciara, come out of that room this instant." I knew that voice was going to come find me sooner rather than later. I hugged my blanket tighter and said go away. I knew my voice only came out as a hoarse whisper.

"Ciara," Caleb's voice boomed through the pack house.

"Come out this instant or else I am breaking down this door." he threatened. I stood up slowly but couldn't walk. My strength was all drained out I began to crawl as I neared the door, it crashed in pieces 'oh Caleb'.

Caleb took in my appearance and I saw his shiny bright blue orbs dilate into a dark blue shade he was radiating off anger, pure untainted anger he turned and ran away this is not going to end well.

I followed behind him as I heard his voice shouting loudly I figured his voice was coming straight from my father's office I heard the words he said;

"How can you be so cruel to your only daughter?, what the fuck is this prophesy that it's taunting her?, father look at her have you taken time to look at her?, she's just a shadow of herself... a pure shadow she hasn't eaten for six days and all you care about is getting her married off to some Alpha who isn't her mate." he ranted to my father who didn't make a sound.

I neared the door and Caleb dragged me quickly but carefully and dropped my little body which has shrunk due to much pain in the middle of the office I heard a growl it was from Conan the Xonar, Malcolm gnashed his teeth suppressing a growl they were both ready to tear whoever put me in this condition apart but held their peace knowing it was their Alpha who did put me in this condition or more like me.

With all the pure anger coming from Conan, Malcolm and behind them I saw him. My once was mate he had to attend this meeting it was for high ranking wolves, there were bags under his eyes, his skin was paled and his face held no emotion I saw his cheek was swollen like he had gotten into a fight or something, my wish right now was if I just could for a moment reach for him and remove this cloud off his face but I knew I couldn't.

Caleb was still ranting at my father whose face also held no emotions.

"What kind of jerk are you being her father can't you see she just rejected her mate cause of this damned prophecy?" Caleb yelled into the face of my father I swear I saw a flicker of emotions play on his face but the moment they came they left and he resumed his emotionless countenance this was of no use.

"I wonder how the poor wolf she rejected is feeling now. Do you care how he is feeling now?" Caleb spat into my father's face.

I know this argument isn't going to end well. I looked up to Markus. I saw he was trying to mask his feelings, his hurt but I could see through it.

"Obviously you don't fucking care, cause all you care about is the name and fame nothing more, nothing less you are a useless mistake for an Alpha." he said lacing his words with venom, my father has been getting on Caleb's nerves of late I knew it was only a matter of days before hell broke loose.

"You will respect your Alpha, your father you will not talk to me in that tone" my father sneered at him, Caleb wasn't fazed by this cause he was aiming at something.

"I should respect my Alpha, my father? With all due disrespect, Fuck you." Caleb cussed right in the face of our father, our Alpha.

It all happened in a blur , my father rushing towards Caleb to hit him and Caleb blocking the hit, one of the greatest insults to an Alpha is to stop his hit from reaching you, my father's face widened and he knew what just happened his own son just challenged him. All of us in the room stood in awe.

"Pack training ground, this moment do not be late" my father said seething with anger and walked away.

Caleb marched behind him. With our mother wailing and screaming how too much ego and testosterone would ruin her family.
