The Two Alphas (Editing)

Part 9

Autumn was talking with the seer of the pack, Flora. She was good friend with her. They both had a common thing to discuss, magic.
Witches among werewolf packs were not common but Autumn was a wonderful addition to the Stalwart Warrior Pack.
Valerie had saved Autumn from her own coven. Her sisters as the fellow witches are called, were bully and brutal to her. For them she was a weak link who needed to be eliminated but Valerie saved her from her dreadful fate and encouraged her to practice magic on her pack land. Resultant being she had become one of the most powerful witches with constant practice and perseverance.

She still remembered that night when Valerie with the help of her beta Jason and warrior head Dominic, rescued her. She was sentenced to death by the matriarch of the coven because she was late learner and at her age knew very little of magic and spells. To others she was just like a human, and to them humans was a petty race. Not all witch covens are brutal but hers was. As per rule one coven was not allowed to interfere in the matters of others. So whatever her coven did to her was not questioned.

She was sentenced to death by being burned alive in fire. To her luck Valerie and her commandments were on hunt that night. And when they saw the gruesome scene, they interfered and saved her. Since then Autumn has been loyal to her alpha.

Autumn came out of her reverie when Flora cracked a joke and slapped hard on her shoulder while laughing. She didn't know what she said but to be civil she started laughing too.

They both were talking merrily when suddenly Flora's eyeballs turned upwards and went completely white. Autumn understood that Flora is having a vision. So she did not interrupt her.

She was waiting for her vision to pass when she saw Dominic approaching her. He somehow failed to notice Flora and was about to open his mouth to speak something but Autumn placed her forefinger on her lips to hush him and pointed towards Flora.

He nodded and waited beside her. After few minutes Flora was back to normal and she was panting. "I need to talk to Alpha."

Dominic furrowed his eyebrows. "I actually came here for that only. Alpha wants to meet Autumn for some reason, you can accompany us."

Flora basically sprinted ahead of them. Dominic and Autumn looked towards each other confused but they too fasten their pace to catch up with her.

***************

"How can you react so calmly?" Kevin shouted entering Valerie's office and found her standing near the window gazing far away.

Valerie turned around and Kevin was surprised to find tears in her eyes. Upon seeing her brother, her tough exterior broke and she sobbed.

Jason who entered behind Kevin with Genesis was left flabbergasted when he saw tears in the eyes of his alpha. Before he could say anything, Charles barged in and started yelling.

"How dare he? I know you can't act as his Luna but this is just outrageous. How can you tolerate such thing? I am ready to decapitate him. I will shoot him, werewolf or not." He took a deep breath to calm himself down and then looked around the room. Everyone was looking towards him unimpressed. Confused by such reaction he looked towards Valerie and found her tear stained cheeks. He sighed and mentally ridiculed himself for rambling in anger.

He went up to her and embraced her. Valerie found her resolve weakening and started crying. She tightened her hold on her half brother and poured her heart out. She disentangled herself from his embrace and then started speaking.

"Am I so wrong in my decision? How can he expect me to abandon my pack? I told him I will figure out something. I know Autumn told me to reject the mate bond but I was ready to negotiate something with Cayden. Today he left me no choice. I have called Autumn to discuss this matter."
