Chapter 39
This was the first time she was being yelled at by him and she couldn't accept that, yet there was nothing she could do, since there was no way, she would be able to challenge his authority in front of the other alphas and there were so many people that witnessed it.
After all, she was still the luna and it was her responsibility to appear impeccable and keep their image.
"My apologize, alpha." luna Jasmine said in low voice, she lowered her head and then excused herself. She was enraged, her solemn expression changed the moment no one saw her, as he strode toward where her son was being treated. Her precious son was being attacked, but the culprit was still sitting on the high ground instead of wailing for mercy.
Once luna Jasmine left, alpha James put his whole attention toward Hunter, who had Lilac in his arms. Even though he was outnumbered greatly, there was no shred of fear in his eyes and somehow, as an alpha, he admired this brave young lycan.
"What are you trying to imply here?" Alpha James growled dangerously, while the other alphas stood close to him, showing their support.
They were at the point, where the peace treaty was nothing but a piece of paper, as they were ready for another battle if it was necessary, after all, they were in advantage position. But of course, if they could avoid this, they would.
"Do you really need me to tell you what I am implying here?" Hunter scoffed. The way he glared back at alpha James, as if he was telling him how stupid he was right now for asking such question. "You make it sounded like my son has done something atrocious!" alpha James argued.
"You really like to hear your own voice, until you are no longer able to hear what other people said," Hunter replied, his voice was filled with so much mockery. He stared at alpha James derisively. "Fine, if that's what you want.
Hunter didn't want to air this affair, but at the same time, he needed to clear their suspicion and Lilac's name, just in case that stupid man tried to twist the fact and put him in disadvantage situation. With that, Hunter told them what happened.
"Nonsense! There is no way my son will do something like that!" alpha James roared angrily, while the other alphas talked among themselves, since Hunter confirmed their suspicion. Before, they were only making assumption, but right now they could be sure that Aiden had really crossed the line. "What's the proof that my son had done something so horrendous to her? It could be she was the one, who came to his bedroom!"
Alpha James didn't want to do this, he liked Lilac, just like how his mate fond of her, and he thought Lilac would make a great luna, but the situation was not the same now, everything had changed and if he had to choose, it was not even a question that he would safe his own son's image.
"Call the healer and let them check on her! Do you think she will be so stupid to drug herself and then come to this smelly room!?" Hunter roared angrily, his voice echoed throughout the walls and this startled them all, even though they were the alpha, the people, who held the highest power in their respective pack, but a lycan was completely different story.
That...alpha James was speechless, he didn't know what to say at this point.
"Alpha James, call the healer and clear this matter quickly. One of the alphas suggested.
"We can't let this problem go even further than this." The other chimed in as well.

This suggestion angered alpha James, as he shouted at them. "Do you really think my son will be 50 even do such horrendous thing? He has his own mate now and that woman is currently pregnant with their firstborn! You know very well how important the firstborn is!" Alpha James was being defensive.
"But, why she is unconscious? The other alpha pointed out the fact.
They were still reluctant to make an enemy out of the lycan again if they could help it, since a war caused them so much grievances and they didn't want to go for another year in such situation, especially wher they could get back their pack member with the exchange of one woman only. It was a great deal and they didn't want to ruin it.
"Call the healer!" The alpha behind James took charge and ordered one of the warriors to call the healer.
Alpha James gritted his teeth, he balled his fists. No matter what he said earlier, he had the same suspicious like the other alphas. He knew what his mate had been planning, though he chose to close his eyes and cover his ears for her scheme, but now, everything would come to the open and he didn't know how to proceed from here.
On the other hand, Hunter smirked to see the panic in alpha James's eyes. He couldn't care less about everything else, because he was worried about Lilac's condition right now.
He put her back to the bed, still covering her b*dy with the blanket, despite his disgust to see this bed. He really wanted to tear this thing apart.
It didn't take long for the healer to come and confirm anyone suspicion.
"Yes, she has been drugged," the healer said and it was akin to a nail in the coffin, which made them speechless, since it was also confirmed what Aiden was trying to do to his ex mate. What made things worst was; Lilac was Hunter's woman now, she belonged to him for the exchange of all the prisoner war.
"You heard that," Hunter said darkly. "I demanded an apology and punishment for what your son wrongdoings!"
