CHAPTER FOUR.

I fell right to my butts to the chair. I could swear that the way Aurthur looked at me just now, he has never looked at me like that before through my days with him. His eyes held very cold expressions, hatred lined out in his voice and his face held some unexplainable hatred in it. The room went so silent after his outburst, only the breathing of everyone present in the room could be heard. If a rat tried to pass right now in the hall, its movement would be heard.

“Arthur” I called out painfully with tears lined up in my round plump cheeks.

“Sorry for that please, let's continue our dinner” he said, apologizing to the elders seated, completely ignoring me. I swallowed my tears up bracing myself for the worst when his beta came into the room whispering something to his ears. He waved him off, clearing his throat while he raised his wine glass up for a toast.

“Cheers to the continuous growth of this pack” he cheered with other elders not even battling an eye towards my side. The dinner was almost coming to an end when Aurthur said he had an announcement to make.

“Attention everyone” he cleared his throat using his spoon to gain maximum attention by tapping it on his glass of wine.

“Can I have the total attention of everyone?” he asked again.

“Yes alpha” they all answered in unison but I wasn’t really interested in whatever he had to say. I just want the dinner to end so I can retire right into my room and on my bed.

“Meliora will be deposed from her duties and position as the Luna from tomorrow” he announced.

“What!!!” we all screamed in unison. For once I thought my ear was actually playing tricks on me.

“What do you mean I’m being disposed of?” I asked him with shock written all over my face as I stood on my feet.

“You heard me loud and clear” he boomed out of anger.

“And why am I being disposed of?” I asked in anger.

“Do you expect me to leave my pack running with an adulteress who tends to disgrace her pack “he screamed at me slamming his hand so hard on the table which made me flinch back in fear.

“And you just decided to follow rumors and not investigate things here?” I asked, standing up to his energy.

I won’t let fear stop me from saying what I feel or need to be said. I couldn’t help but raise my voice at him letting out all the anger and frustrations I’ve bottled up in me.

“Do I need to investigate what has been proven true?” he asked looking right into my eye but I’m not ready to back down either. If he was looking for someone as crazy as he can be then he got a perfect match for himself.

“What has been proven?” I asked him head on restraining myself from locking up his clothes because right now I have lost all the sanity left in me so as my senses.

“Do you want me to make this hard for you and your pack, especially your father?” he asked and that’s it I lost all my senses right at that moment. Before I could control myself, I already landed two heavy slaps right on his right cheeks which left everyone stunned and even Arthur himself. I’m never going down without a fight and for him to think he would drag my father into this mess then he must be kidding himself.

I can stand any discrimination or any insult against my personality or my own choice but I won’t open my eyes and let anybody Insult or threaten my father’s position.

“What….” I cut him short immediately.

“After everything I had done for you and the pack?” I screamed

“What are the things you have done that you think deserve an award?” one of the elders interjected which riled me up further.

“And what did you do that you think of yourself worthy of that seat you are on?” I fired back at him not minding his position.

“I wouldn’t let anyone or anybody here speak trash or any ill things to me” I declared walking out of the dining room but stopped abruptly at the door holding the door knob.

“Listen carefully Arthur, I will not be disposed of or step down from my position as the Luna… if you want war then you shall get it” I declared, slamming the door so hard behind me.

I walked to my room signaling my personal maids to follow me immediately. I won’t slack nor allow anyone to walk or step over me.

“Have my dinner brought into my room immediately and I don’t wish to entertain any visitor, even the alpha” I ordered sending them off.

“You have a letter from your pack Luna” my personal maid said to me, handling another envelope to me which was embodied into another rose scented envelope. I waved her off while checking out the content which reads…

“Dear Meliora, I’m sorry for everything I might have caused you because I heard from dad that you will be forced to step from your post as Luna and the same thing as my dad since we were both involved in this scandal. I loved you but I will promise you one thing that I don’t know how I got to your room that night… All I want to say is I’m deeply sorry for everything and I hope I can be forgiven. But I’m writing because your father collapsed this morning due to food poisoning and your attention is needed in the pack immediately” I read out loud with tears streaming down my face.

No one can poison father except Zoe and her mother.

My maids came into the room to arrange my table but I stopped her…

“We are leaving the pack right now,” I declared.

“What Luna?” she questioned but am not in for any questions and answering right this moment.

“Pack the bags, father is poisoned” I said curtly to her.
