Theron leans on the window rail in his study in deep thoughts. So deep that he didn't hear the knocks on the door, the sound of the opening door and approaching footsteps.
"Father" Aiden calls. "What's wrong? Did anything go wrong during the meeting? "
Theron sighs, taking a seat and signals Aiden to have a seat.
Theron shakes his head "everything is wrong son how do I begin to tell you this".
He didn't know how to explain to his son that the sister he so much cherished is going to be used as a bargain chip and it's all because of his mother.
"I got to know about the peace truce with the vampires. Is that the reason for your absent mindedness father". Aiden asks.
Theron closes his heaving a deep breath "It's s marriage alliance. One of your sisters will be married to king Lucien".
Aiden leans back into the chair "which one?"
"Asherah, " Theron whispers.
Aiden frowns "Not ash fat her. Why not Thea, she's the one who gives me a lot of headaches. Why did you have to agree with it? We have omega maids in our pack but not my sister. We don't know if she has a wolf or not but I'm sure she has a wolf. What did you do to refute this opinion" Aiden burst out in anger.
"I'm sorry son I could do nothing. Most Alphas and Lunas agreed to it. It was an opinion put forward by your mother" Theron replies.
"mother" Aiden exclaims as he stands up. "Why would she do such a thing? I understand she hates Ash and her reason he's not that justified because I don't know the true story yet. But that's not a reason to give out someone else's daughter to people who we do not know and can't trust. We did not know If she would be respected and treated nicely over there. What if someone had given Theah or Mireah away to someone they don't know how would she feel? Mother had gone too far father and I'm not going to smile with this one". Aiden says with clench fist as he storms out of the study.
Seeing this a lone tear rolls down Theron's cheeks accompanied by another. He wouldn't let anyone see him break down like this "what have you done Ophelia Aiden and Mireah is not going to forgive you for this. Most especially Aiden".
Theron knows his children that well although Mireah doesn't know who Ash is she had always wanted to meet her and get to know her. She wants an elder sister that's not as strict as Thea. Thea never seemed to like Ash. She is exactly like her mother, they both bore hatred towards his daughter calling her a home wrecker while Aiden on the other hand can forfeit the world but not Ash. He loves and dotes on her too much. He even spoils her more than his father.
Theron sighs, closing his eyes as He leans back into his chair when the door opens his right hand man, the Beta of the pack, Beta Williams comes in relaying an information that he urgently needs to attend to.
"Theah, have you seen Aiden?" Ophelia asks, strolling down the stairs.
"No mom. You should know brother by now he's probably in Dads study discussing politics or affairs about the pack. Oh here he is" Thea replies. They all turn to see Aiden running down the stairs with an annoyed expression as he walks past Ophelia and Thea.
"Aiden, what's wrong and where are you heading to?".
Ophelia calls out while the layer ignores him while leaving the pack palace.
"What's wrong with him? He should better not ruin my dat unless I don't ever forgive him" Thea snorts.
"Mireah tell the maids to be at my service" Thea orders walking to her room.
Mireah pouts. "I'm not a maid she's always ordering me about. Hmph" she harrumphs walking in another direction to her bed chambers.
Ophelia sighs watching her daughters; she immediately orders the maids to be at Thea's service.
She stares at the door Aiden walked through. He must have heard about the marriage alliance. I just need to pacify him and make him forget all about it.
With that unfilial daughter gone my plan is slowly falling in place. I just need to find out if the princess has a wolf and if she does have one it's to destroy it. Hah. I'll also have to talk to the Vampire king about the forbidden princess. Husband dear might not do so. I also don't want her to become a powerful queen in the future.
At this thought Ophelia frowns. After all this is over and that girl is gone I'll make sure to get my husband back to me. I need to speak to the beta soon.
