Bryan tightened his fists in anger. He had the urge to kill Victor right away.
“Calm down, Alpha. It’s not time to become angry. You have to make the decision with your mind. An angry man always makes the wrong decision.”
Bryan turned to Sophia. He stared at her without saying anything to Angelina.
After a while, he said,
“Find out a cure to save her. I will burn that man alive if something happens to her.”
Angelina lowered her head and murmured,
“There is no cure. I believe she is strong. I think she can take your mark. But you have to risk her life for that. Though I can’t give you the guarantee of her life. She can stay alive without a mark. But marking her can endanger her life.”
Bryan looked away from Sophia and returned his gaze to Angelina. “I will never mark her. She won’t die. I won’t let her die.”
“But Alpha, what about the notice from the council? It’s very serious. If you don’t mark her, they will strip you off from your position.”
Bryan took a brief pause as if he were thinking about something, then replied,
“I will settle everything tonight. There is no need to think about tomorrow.”
When Angelina and Bryan left the room, the woman lying on the bed opened her eyes.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she stared at the door.
“Victor poisoned me? When?”
She tried to remember every interaction with Victor until her mind froze on the party night when he sent her home. She fell asleep without realizing it that night. She did experience a mild soreness in the nape of her neck the next morning.
Did he inject the poison into her body that night?
Anger causing her fists to clench around the bedsheet.
“How long will you continue to hurt everyone like this? You were aware that Bryan would somehow save me; that’s why you poisoned me so that he could never mark me. How cheap you are, Victor! I hate you. You hurt my mom; you hurt me, Mila, Rose, and who knows how many girls. I will exact revenge on you on behalf of everyone.’
Her eyes glowed with rage and radiated fire.
She realized that it was the reason nowadays she started to feel weak. There were many times when she almost fell unconscious. She thought it was because she began to discover the truth, which was too much for her mental health.
However, it was because of the poison!
Sophia noticed that Bryan did not return to the bedroom the whole night.
She waited for the morning so that she could talk to Bryan.
That man refused to tell her about her health, fearing that she would become depressed if she found out.
When the sun shone brightly, Sophia took a quick shower and dressed in a gown.
She did not leave the bedroom first, as she tried to call her brother. She wanted to talk about it with him first.
But when Abraham received the call, she was shocked.
“Sophia.”
It was not because of his voice, but because of the other voices around him. He felt as though many people surrounded him.
“Brother, where are you?”
“I can’t hear you, Sophia. Alpha is speaking to everyone. I am right beside him. I will talk to you later.”
The call was cut off. Sophia looked at her phone for a moment before dashing out of the room.
When she stepped out of the bedroom, she began to hear the sounds of people’s voices.
She held a maid’s hand and inquired, “What is going on outside?”
“Alpha is speaking with the pack members who have come here to oppose his decision about stepping down.”
Sophia’s hands trembled as she let go of the maid’s hand.”B-Bryan is stepping down from his position?”
Sophia ran to the second floor’s enormous balcony, which was in the opposite direction from her and Bryan’s bedroom. She noticed a large number of guards stationed there. She caught a glimpse of Bryan’s parents.
The guards bowed down to her as she approached the balcony.”Luna.”
“Let me see what’s happening,” she said to them.The guards stepped aside and let her go inside. She stepped out onto the spacious balcony, where Bryan’s family was standing along with the officials. Mila and her family were also present.She closed her eyes to the noise.
She opened her eyes and looked where the noises were coming from. She took a step forward, and her eyes widened.
There were so many people standing outside the pack house. Their gaze was fixed on the area where Bryan was standing.
“We don’t want you to step down, Alpha. Give us a reason,” the people chanted as they looked upset.
A hand grabbed Sophia’s hand, pulling her to the side.
She turned her head and found Angelina.
“What are you doing here? You should not be here. Let’s go. I will take you to your room. I will be with you until the meeting is over.”
Sophia shook her head and pulled her hand out of hers. “I know why this is all happening. He is stepping down because of me. I can’t let him do that.”
She was about to walk over to Bryan when Angelina grabbed her hand and pulled her back again.
“Don’t be foolish.”
Tears rolled down when she turned to look at Angelina. “Please stop him. How can he do that? This position is his life.”
As though she were becoming sensitive to the circumstances, Angelina bit the inside of her lower lip. She looked away from Sophia and replied,
“He loves you more than his throne. He can give up everything for you, Sophia.”
Sophia stared at Bryan, who raised his hand, and everyone stopped talking.
“I, Alpha Bryan Morrison, am stepping down from my position.”
“NO! Alpha, you can’t do that.”
People began to speak again.
Bryan’s officials were standing beside him, signaling for the people to calm down while looking down at them. Sophia could see that Abraham was there.
“Don’t worry. I will not let you all fall into bad hands. After me, my brother, Bruce Morrison, will run this pack. I believe he will prove to be a great Alpha for you all,” Bryan said to the people.
Sophia turned her head at Bruce. She saw him, lowering his head.
“He is my younger brother. He has the same blood as me. He won’t disappoint you all. Now he has his mate, too. You all will have a good Alpha and Luna. They both are good people.”
Mila stared at Bryan. Alpha Lucas looked pleased, as did his wife. But Bryan’s parents did not seem pleased since they knew no one could run the pack as well as Bryan.
At that time, Sophia rushed to Bryan and grabbed his arm.
“Don’t do this. Please,” she mumbled to him.
The people who had never seen their Luna before looked at her with a stunned expression and spoke out with excitement,
“Is she our Luna?”
Bryan immediately pushed her behind him and turned his head toward her. “Why are you here? They should not see you.”
“Why? Why can’t they see me? Why are you giving up everything? It’s not fair, Bryan. I am already feeling guilty about everything. If you do this for me, I can never forgive myself.”
Abraham noticed his sister and walked to her. “Go back to your room, Sophia.”
“No, brother. I wont.”
“You don’t have anything to say here. It’s about your life,” Abraham tried to make her understand.
Bryan turned to the people as he gave the responsibility to Abraham to handle Sophia.
He saw the curious gazes of his pack members.
“You are right. She is my mate. But unfortunately, she can’t be your Luna and rule the pack since her Alpha is stepping down.”
He turned to look at Bruce and gestured for him to come forward to the people.
Bruce approached Bryan and came to a stop. Bryan then declared,
“Bruce Morrison is the soon-to-be Alpha of your pack. The crown ceremony for the head Alpha will take place next month. He needs time to prepare for his new role as an Alpha leader. I am hoping that one month will be enough to catch everything, as my officials will be there to guide him.”
