Chapter 105: Scarlet is looking for Aurora
"Mr. Elyon, despite my reluctance to put my pack in harm’s way, my responsibility as an Elder is to rectify the situation, using whatever means necessary. I trust you to comprehend my decision." Elyon found himself utterly shocked, unprepared for such a response. How could an elder of the pack side with someone as erratic as her?
And what was going on with this disorganized pack? Shouldn’t an Alpha have a say in their laws? Why hadn’t he even seen the Alpha since he arrived? Unless... Could it be what he suspected?
"Are you both conspiring behind your Alpha’s back?" He inquired, leaving both Sarah and Elder Timotei stunned. The confident smirk on her face vanished, replaced with a look as though she’d been struck by a heavy blow.
"I will rip out your fangs if you persist in opposing me!" She threatened, shouting at him.
"So, I was correct, you are also violating pack law. Are you not concerned about the consequences?" He probed.
She smirked and declared, "I am the future Luna of this pack, second only to the Alpha. Think of how unstoppable I will be once I attain that position, huh?" She exuded such confidence in her incoming ascension to the Luna position that Elyon began to regret challenging her. If their plan succeeded, she might not spare his life for opposing her. He decided to play along and give her what she wanted. After all, he was nobody to anyone here, he could only rely on himself for survival.
’I am sorry but I have no choice.’ Inwardly, he apologized for the life of who he was about to ruin. He couldn’t believe he was here to ruin someone else’s life the same way his was. How could his life take such a wrong turn in a month, who had he offended to deserve this?
"Alright, I will drink it," he agreed, prompting Sarah to squirm with joy.
"That’s what I am talking about. You won’t regret making the right choice," she claimed, though he scoffed inwardly, considering it the worst choice.
