191 Chapter One Hundred Ninety One
Trevor let go of the wolf, pushing him away as though Wyatt was a filthy rag that he didn’t know was on him. Katie was impressed although she had no intention of expressing it to the boy. However, the short display of power wasn’t enough to quell the anger that raged on within the royal. “You will be assigned to the patrols with the rest of the junior hunters. We are a little short on human resources. I’m sure that will be no problem for you,” Trevor spoke up, folding his hands across his chest.
“Yeah, whatever...” Wyatt let his head fall into his hands. Right beside him, Katie had stopped pacing, “and why is Lina hanging over me?”
“I’m right here, Wyatt,” Lina spoke up, raising his mind for added effect. Wyatt’s expression fell as reality finally came crashing down on him. The wolf beside him shifted back into her human form... Well, she was far too angry to make it that far and stopped in her half-shifted form which Wyatt found much scarier. The creature beside him had white hair(fur) that came down in a thinning line down to her nose. Her eyes were bright blue and clearly furious.
“Katie...” Cole called out to her.
“Not another word, Cole,” the girl ordered.
“Think about what you’re doing, Katie. You can’t make irrational decisions when...” the royal tried to reach her.
“I am perfectly aware of that, Cole. More than most of you, but I cannot let this go like I didn’t find my sister about to be prey to a bear,” Katie yelled at him. The images only then flowed into the man’s mind.
Cole had nothing more to say on the matter. After the unbridled rage he’d read from his mate, he knew his sway on her was limited. He only hoped there would be a body to return at least. He wanted to rush to her and stop her, but his wolf disagreed with that course of action. ‘If you go too far...’ he started through the mind link.
‘Have a little faith in me, Cole...’
.....
‘I find that hard to do when Crysta almost lost her life...’ the girl was taken aback by this response. She mentally sighed before getting back to reality to pass her judgement. “The royals have let the rest of the alphas do what they want for a long time that you are all starting to act a little out of line,” Katie spoke up.
“You’re one to talk. You’ve only been a royal for a few weeks,” Wyatt spat at her while she walked about. The girl’s mind had already come up with a solution that could quell her anger without having to get violent with the boys.
“Well, I am a royal nonetheless. I have done my research, surprising as it might be, but I have done so. Alpha Wyatt and Alpha Liam are henceforth stripped of the right to take the position of alpha of their packs. Until you prove yourselves worthy of leading a pack, you will not be able to take over from your fathers,” Katie said to them.
Wyatt rose from his spot on the ground, “That’s outrageous. You don’t have the right to do such a thing.” He bellowed at the girl, his eyes flashing bright red.
“I have half a mind to completely strip of your title and have you demoted straight to a normal werewolf,” the girl snapped back at him. The two of them stared at each other intently, tension building through the air.
“She doesn’t have the power to do such a thing,” Liam’s voice cut through the air, “Does she?”
“She does... I have rarely seen it being done, but she can do it,” Cole sighed. “And she is the only one that can revoke it. Your parents will be unable to help you out of this. Until the royal that declared this revokes it, you cannot be crowned heir to your pack.”
“That’s ridiculous. It breaks the rule of the royals renouncing the control they have over the rest of the werewolves,” Wyatt argued.
“It does... if Katie used her tone to enforce this law. To keep the peace, your parents will have to abide by the rules and end all procedures to have you crowned,” Katie was able to calm down as her mate made the necessary explanations. She walked up to her sister and in a soft tone, “Let’s get you to your room.”
Katie walked away with her sister, “What about Crysta?” Liam mumbled.
“Don’t lump me in with the likes of you. You can lick the wounds of your stupidity on your own,” the delta huffed, walking away from them. When she’d just reached the entrance to the hotel, a mind link came through to her from Liam, ‘Is that how much we mean to you?’
‘Don’t try to guilt-trip me, Liam. I told you what’s happening. It’s up to you to accept the truth and find a way to fit into the world as it was meant to be. The life you thought you would lead... That’s not what happens in the real world. You had your fun... Now wake up, unless you enjoy drowning,’ Crysta replied, feeling a pang of pain that she’d left them there.
Cole gave his mate a tight hug as she passed by him, “I didn’t know...” he began whispering.
“It’s okay, Cole. I blocked you out when I noticed how much trouble the girl was in. I didn’t want you to worry about it,” The two of them parted and Cole stayed behind with the three boys. Trevor watched the scene with a look of interest.
“Katie and Cole make everything here so much more interesting. I only recently heard of someone giving a Mighty Warrior the beating of his life,” Trevor piped up when the girls were gone and burst into laughter of his own. When no one laughed with him, he only shrugged and continued to laugh on his own. The others only looked at him with looks of surprise... ‘Talk of weird...’
“What are you still doing here?” Wyatt spat at the royal.
“I will make sure the two of you make it to your rooms as well. Who knows what could happen this late in the night?” Cole replied with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Liam was the first to start the walk back to the hotel, “The room won’t find us waiting out here. Damn you, Katie Sirius.” Even as the alpha walked, he could feel the sudden decrease in the power he held. The boost given to him by his status was starting to fade. He could feel that he was weaker and this only made his anger burn brighter, ‘She thinks she’s above the law and can walk around doing whatever she wants.’
“You will be careful what you say about the future Luna to the Lycaon empire,” Cole said to him, following behind Wyatt.
“I will say whatever I wish should be said...”
“Liam, that’s enough,” Wyatt spoke up, cutting his friend off before he could make everything worse. Cole smiled at the smart move from the alpha. There was nothing good that could have come from saying more about the matter.
“It’s never too late to choose a different path. Have you heard of an alpha’s hunt?” the royal asked them.
“We have heard of it, but it’s only something the royals go through. The alphas compete in the woods, performing various tasks that can only be accomplished by the one who is destined to become king. It’s a foolish tradition that I find useless,” Liam replied.
“Well, only someone that would find it useless would be this bad at ruling a pack. Until Katie deems you worthy of taking over your pack, you won’t be able to. Your powers as an alpha diminished. You’re a stubborn one...”
'
“Quiet, all of you... Just... shut it...” Wyatt snapped at the two of them. Cole spared him a glance and took notice of his crestfallen expression. His anger softened at the sight of the alpha. Unlike Liam, Wyatt looked sad about what had happened. ‘There might be hope for them yet...’
............
The three girls walked together, Crysta staying behind them while they made their way to Lina’s room. The sound of their footsteps echoed through the halls. The sounds coming from the other rooms were limited and few. ‘These students are quiet... If only those in Brigadia were this quiet during lunch hours. They would make the meal so much more enjoyable...’
“Do you have to follow us all the way, Crysta?” Katie asked the tail following them.
“Well, if it doesn’t bother you, I would also like to see that the princess makes it back to her room,” the delta replied, sending them into another short silence, “...along with one other thing.”
“I was almost impressed,” Lina chuckled.
“Well, I would have done this anyway, but what I’ve seen today has left me curious. Every day with the moon goddess’ chosen is a day of new surprises,” Crysta argued, calming down while she finished.
“Well, then out with it then. What are you asking?” Katie asked her.
“Well, I saw you come from the forest with Lina. You looked just like her and I don’t mean you were white. I mean...”
“Thin, slender... malnourished...” Lina interrupted.
“I said nothing about that last one and it’s not true,” Crysta snapped at her.
“If only I’d heard that these past years, I would believe you,” Crysta was silenced. It was finally coming out. Lina was not going to make her redemption easy and she’d known it. It still didn’t prepare her for what was to happen, “I’m sorry, Lina. It was never true.”
Lina was taken aback by the sudden apology, “No...” she replied, her voice breaking, “You don’t get to apologize for that easily after all this time. People don’t just turn a new leaf the moment someone new walks into town.” Katie was surprised by the sudden outburst and found herself going over the words that had just been spoken or more like yelled. ‘Huh, someone’s new is in town, who came into... Oh, they just talked about me and I didn’t even notice...’ she shrugged.
