บท 12: Chapter 12
Titus
The pack meeting had been going for about an hour now and all my focus had been on Sabre who was howling like crazy in my mind. I had tried to block him several times but he was nowhere near to calm down. Sabre wanted Freya she was what all that he demanded. I had tried reasoning with him many times that she didn't even have a wolf still Sabre wanted her. It seems he was least bothered about her having a wolf.
"We will have to deal with the rogues strictly. Brandon, increase the patrolling at the borders," Dad's voice brought me back from my thoughts.
"Titus and James I want you to monitor the patrols personally," he addressed me and James.
I nodded in reply, rogues were the least of my problem right now. My wolf was driving me crazy, and it was getting tough for me to control him.
"I won't take orders from the man who is preventing me from being with my mate," Sabre growled.
"He is our Alpha, Sabre, and we cant defy his orders," I tried to make him understand.
"He won't be my Alpha when I rip his throat apart," Sabre was turning murderous these days.
"Sabre, will you give me a break for a minute? It's not only you who is suffering because of not being with our mate," I growled back at Sabre.
"It doesn't seem like you care, all you do is follow your Dad like a lost pup. When do you plan to stand up for our mate?" he taunted.
"Of course I care about her, Sabre, but I care about my parents too. I agree Dad can be too dominating at times, but he is the Alpha, and he is supposed to be like that," I replied to him.
"I dont care about anyone even if they are your parents, all I care about is my mate," Sabre shot back.
Making Sabre understand the situation was a lost battle, he was very determined about having his mate with him. I wondered how Freya must be dealing with the distance between us. It was a blessing that she didn't have a wolf to deal with, surely her wolf would have driven her crazy like Sabre was doing to me but there won't have been any problems between Freya and me if she had a wolf.
Ahhh Freya, if only I could bury my face in her hair and smell her mesmerizing scent again, " You are the one who left our mate behind. You didn't even fight for her with your father," Sabre was at it again.
"Will you just shut up," I spat at him.
Sabre got mad and blocked me, I know I was not being reasonable with him. He was in agony from being away from his mate and so was I.
"Titus."
"Titus," Dad called.
I looked at him he was looking at me with a questioning gaze. He surely must have asked me something that I had missed due to my thoughts," Yes, Alpha?" I asked him.
Dad didn't like it when I called him Dad in front of other pack members. He believed that all pack members should respect him and follow his commands including his family and especially, me. There was no alternative for me to make a mistake. I was supposed to be the future Alpha of the pack and I couldn't afford to err.
Dad had been training me to take over as the Alpha from him since I was a child. He had made me go through the most rigorous training there could be. I was never given any concession for being the Alpha's son. Instead, I got the harshest punishments in the pack to make sure I never repeated a mistake.
It was a surprise I had lasted all through this, not just lasted I had grown to be one of the strongest wolves in the world. My strength and speed were unmatched amongst wolves. I could take down at least four wolves even in my human form and I could easily beat ten wolves in a fair fight in my wolf form.
"There is an Alpha training for a year by the council and I want you to take part in it," Dad said.
I looked at Dad in shock, how could he send me for training when he knew very well what the mate bond was doing to me? Everyone had left the meeting it was only Dad, his Beta, Brandon, me, and James remaining in the room.
"Dad, how can I go for training?"
"Why what's wrong?" he asked faking innocence when he very well knew that how being away from my mate was affecting me.
"Dad I can't stay away from my mate for so long," I replied trying to control my raging temper.
"You will have to reject Freya before you leave. I dont think that's going to be a problem," he replied calmly.
"Dad, she is my mate and I dont want to reject her. My wolf is driving me crazy because of being away from her," I could hardly control my voice from rising.
"What kind of Alpha you will be if you can't even control your wolf?" Dad boomed in his Alpha voice.
In other conditions, I would have submitted to him, but right now all my wolf and I cared about was my mate. There was no way I was going to back off, now. I wanted my mate and I would fight tooth and nail for her. I didn't care if I die fighting because it would be better than leaving my mate. I couldn't even imagine rejecting Freya, I had fallen for her the moment I had seen her. It was always supposed to be this way. Mates were destined to be together and no one could force me to reject my mate, not even my father.
"I dont care about what kind of Alpha I would be, all I care about is my mate," I growled back at him.
"Just listen to yourself, you sound like a fucking pussy, Titus, desperate for a girl," Dad roared back at me.
Our wolves were fighting hard to take over, I was hardly able to control Sabre who was desperate to shift and rip my father into half. My father was Alpha but there was no way that his wolf could be stronger than Sabre.
"She is just not a girl, she is my mate and I love her. I have been waiting for her for years, and I won't reject her because you dont find her worthy to be Luna of your pack," I growled in fury.
"I will banish you from the pack if you even think of bringing that girl here," Dad threatened.
It didn't matter to me if he banished me and it mattered even less to Sabre if he was banished. I could always go and start my own pack. It would be difficult and take some time for me but I could certainly do that.
Beta Brandon and James were looking more alert than ever. They looked sure about a fight breaking between me and my father. I dont think even Beta Brandon and James could jointly save Dad from Sabre's wrath.
"Back off, Titus, this is the last warning for you," Dad warned in his Alpha voice.
I felt a pressure on my shoulder, I turned to find my mother pressing my shoulders and pleading with her eyes to stand down. I couldn't calm Sabre easily, he was too far gone. Dad had not just asked him to reject his mate but also threatened him about banishing us from the pack. I was well aware that the threat didn't go down well with Sabre.
I was trying hard to control Sabre not to shift. He was fighting me really hard all he wanted to do was kill my father. I knew that I won't be able to live with the consequences of killing my father. It didn't matter how much I despised him for forcing me into rejecting my mate but still, he was my father and the husband and mate of my mother and I couldn't take that away from her.
I loved my mother more than anyone or anything in this world unless Freya came along and changed everything for me. Now I loved and wanted Feya more than anything else.
"Laura, look at your son, acting like a fucking pussy for a mere girl and that too wolfless. That girl is a disgrace and I can't allow my son to make her the Luna of this pack," dad spat in anger.
"I told you not to insult my mate," I roared in maddening anger at my father.
"What will you do? Kill me for making you realize that she is not worthy of being your mate," Dad asked in fury.
If only he tried to think from my point of view that how difficult it was for me to be away from my mate and now he wanted me to reject her and lose her forever. I was twenty-three for God's sake and had been looking for my mate for the last five years and when I had finally found her he wanted me to reject her.
"You dont know her worth because she is not your mate and you haven't searched the entire world for her," I replied with contempt.
"You won't be defying me when I kill that bitch," Dad snarled.
This was the moment that I snapped and Sabre took over the control from me. I heard the snapping of my bones as Sabre started to shift.
