45 A father’s plea …

Ramsey

I stood on the stage of the council hall , watching as Pack elders , Alphas and Lycans filed out .

Most of them were still engaged in conversations , talking and laughing as they left the hall .

I had just finished a brief with them regarding the Annual Moon Goddess Worshipping Ceremony which was only a few weeks away .

of I hated everything about these annual ceremonies .

Not only was it the death anniversary my parents but they were unnecessary and a total waste of time and money but it was one of the stupid traditions that we cannot write off .

Every year , we would send delegates to the country

ting for that year but this year , we are hosting .

Because of how intense the celebration used to be ; preparations are paramount .

Every decision made has to be carefully calculated to ensure the safety of the packs that will be coming to our country for the celebration .

Especially with the looming threat of the Ferals although it’s been weeks since we last saw them , still we have to be more careful .

My grandfather still lingered nearby engaged in a hushed conversation with Elder Thorne – Cassidy’s father .

I waited until the hall emptied , before I finally exhaled , allowing myself at moment to relax .

That was when I noticed two figures at the back of the hall approaching me .

It was Alpha Logan and his Beta , Jeremy Tanner .

“ Ramsey , my grandfather’s voice cut through the silence .

“ A word before I go ? ”

I nodded , crossing the room the room to join him and Elder Thorne .

“ Alpha ! ” Elder Thorne nodded to me when I went closer .

I acknowledged his greeting with a curt nod before turning to my grandfather .

“ I and Lycan Thorne were just talking about the delayed Joining Ceremony between you and your Luna Cassidy .

We think two years is a long time to wait and the pack … ”

“ I told you , Grandpa ! ” I interrupted him before he could finish his sentence “ That conversation is between me and Cassidy .

Whether or not we want to start making babies is our business .

I did what you wanted .

We’re engaged now and everyone knows she’s my Luna even if it’s not official .

So , can you stop being in our business ?”

“ We’re not being in your business , Alpha ,” Elder Thorne sighed “ An heir is important and … ”

“ I don’t want to continue this conversation , I interrupted him taking a step back , a cold smile on my face .

“ It’s barely two weeks since our engagement and everyone is concerned about what we do in our bedroom .

It’s none of your business .

My grandfather tried to speak but I gave him a stern look .

“ This conversation is over , Grandpa .

I’ll leave first .

I turned and walked away from both men , towards the door .

Alpha Logan and his Beta scrambled up to me when I reached the exit .

“ Alpha ! ” they said tentatively .
