Her possessive alpha

Meeka and Suri

Suri was in her bedroom, deep in her thoughts, she still hasn't gotten over the beta's announcement since the day before yesterday. She kept on asking herself different questions. Is Ava all right? Did she survive the shock? If she's alive, shouldn't she have come out by now? Her heart could only fear the worst.

She heard the light snores of her second daughter, Jannie, sleeping on the bed behind her. She loved Meeka very much, but sometimes she just wished the lass would be more like her sister; quiet and peaceful, but it was all just wishful thinking, Meeka carried the spirit of her father, one of the strongest weapon and wood carvers who perished with their former pack.

She turned her attention back to the dress she was mending in her arms and suddenly, she saw Meeka appear in front of her. She nearly jumped out of her skin upon seeing her, she didn't know how long her daughter had been standing there.

"Oh, goddess! Meeka, you scared me!"

"Sorry mommy," Meeka pouted. And then, Suri noticed the sad look on her daughter's face.

"What's the matter dear?"

"Mommy, my wooden dolly is gone, it's the only thing I could use to think of daddy, and now it's gone, gone with the bad lake that hurt Ava."

Suri heaved out a sigh.

"Is that the reason why you wanted to save dolly so badly? Because of your daddy?"

Meeka nodded her head multiple times, "yes mommy, now daddy doesn't live with us anymore."

"Oh, Meeka, don't say that. It's just an old doll dear, your father will always live with us."

Meeka then brightened up at her mother's words.

"Where does he live? I want to go and visit him," she jumped up and down giddily.

Suri dropped the dress on the bed, and lifted little Meeka into her arms to sit on her lap.

"He lives right here," she pointed a hand at her chest, at the part where she could feel her heartbeat.

Suddenly and in an unwelcome manner, the alpha's wolf guards burst into her bedroom.

"The alpha sends for you and your daughter ma'am. He requests your presences immediately," they informed.

Suri closed her eyes, and let the pain flow right through her. It was now time to accept the outcome of Ava's incident, whatever it was and then, the punishment. She decided that she would beg the alpha so she could take whatever punishment he wanted to give her and include Meeka's so at least her daughter would be spared. She'd already begged Reena, her friend and the pack's seamstress that if she lost her life in the process, she should help her take care of her little girls while she was gone.

As she walked with her daughter to the alpha's chambers, followed by the wolf guards, she prayed in her heart that the goddess would spare Ava's life, if she was still alive or if she was still fighting for her life. And if she wasn't, well she also prayed that the goddess would spare and keep her children after she was gone, because alpha Lucas would certainly kill her.

Only Kiron followed mother and daughter into the alpha's chambers. Suri knelt on the floor with Meeka. And when the four of them were alone, Lucas turned away from the window he was facing to speak to them. She could feel her daughters trembling body in her arms as she carried her; or was she the one trembling?

Lucas proceeded with the interrogations.

"Suri."

"Yes master."

"Where were you when your daughter took Ava to the forbidden lake that day?"

"I was at the seamstress's quarters, master. We'd just had breakfast."

"And were you aware of where your daughter was while you were at the seamstress's quarters?"

Suri contemplated on whether to tell him the truth or not, this would be a pretty good chance for her to cover up for Meeka now so she could take all the punishment.

Lucas noticed her hesitation, folding his arms and walking towards her so he could look into her eyes directly.

"Suri."

"Yes, master."

"You know that I will still find out the truth sooner or later, I always do. And you are very much aware that lying to your alpha will only create more problems for yourself and your daughter. So, you'd better tell me the truth, exactly the way it happened."

**********

Suri closed her eyes, telling the truth was the best thing to do. Even though she would implicate Meeka in the process, she would still beg to take her punishment later. But for now, telling the truth was paramount.

"I was not aware master, I thought she was playing with her sister, she always does after breakfast."

Lucas turned away, "that'll be all for you Suri, leave the girl."000☐☐☐
