The Dark Side of Fate

{Book 2} Chapter 49 – ~Leo~

Morning came, and I put it upon myself to address the omegas for their conduct. Macy came to fix the house, and I asked her to ensure all the Omegas were in the service quarters before seven thirty in the morning.

I could see the worry in her eyes because she knew something terrible must have happened. She dared not ask me why, so she only nodded and hurried through her chores.

Once it was seven-thirty, I asked Amelia to accompany me to the service quarters.

She had a frown on her face that indicated she was curious about my intentions, but I smiled to let her know it was okay.

I knew if I told her what I planned to do to the omegas, she might object and ask me to leave it alone. I had slowly begun to notice that Amelia did not like trouble, and she let things go quickly, which meant I needed to protect her from people that might want to take advantage of her qualities.

Amelia and I arrived at the service quarters together, and the omegas stood in front of their bunk bed.

They were also worried, and they had a good reason to be.

I had put two kappa outside, ready to teach them a lesson. I would not condone anyone disrespecting my mate.

“Good morning, Alpha,” they greeted me, and I did not respond.

“Good Morning Luna Amelia,” some of them quickly corrected themselves.

Their behaviour was baffling.

If I were screwing them or had any form of dealings with them, I would understand their reasons, but being deliberately disrespectful to my mate was uncalled for.

I had mistakenly placed her with them when she arrived, but it was only for a few days. To think those few days would cause this level of disrespect was appalling. It was time to set them straight, and I did not plan on taking it easy on them.

“Macy, step forward,” I said, and the head Omega did as ordered.

I could smell her fear.

Unlike the others, Macy knew they were in trouble.

She bowed with her tear-filled eyes, never looking into my eyes.

Amelia touched my hand gently, already pleading with me to take it easy, but someone had to be the bad guy here.

“I see you all have grown wings and forgotten your station and purpose,” I started, and a worried look dawned on their faces. Seeing how they were too stupid to figure out, they were in trouble was annoying.

“There is a hierarchy, and there is a reason for it. Wolves thrive on order. History has shown without order, there will be chaos.

The hierarchy is innate and not given hence why our wolves have ranks. That aside, it is mandatory for you to respect your Alpha.

I do not only own the land you live on; I feed you all, clothe you, keep you sane and keep you all safe.
