The preparations were excessive and sickening, which made me want to scream even though I was powerless to act. It was infuriating to see them so happy. Their joy was a stark contrast to the grief and anger that consumed me.
But then my attention was diverted by something else. On the other side of the castle, the elders were gathering to discuss about Oliver’s actions. Their faces showed concern and frustration as they tried to reason with Oliver. Yet, their attempts seemed futile against his stubborn denial.
One of the elders, Elder Albert, exclaimed in anger, “Alpha, this is madness!”
The old man continued to talk in anger, “How can you think of getting married when you’ve bonded with your Luna?”
Immediately, Oliver was infuriated.
“Shut up! Meredith is pregnant with my child. I don’t want to hear any of this. I’ll sever my mating bond with that bitch Charlotte by the Moon Priestess’ permission and ask her to marry Meredith with me,” he insisted with a tone of coldness and dismissiveness.
