How was it possible for her to react like that? Shouldn't she be hurt by his words? They are mates and him saying she was not wanted there was like rejecting her.
These questions linger in their minds. Johnathan was somehow able to detect the amusement in Mika's tone. She found his cousin amusing and she loved teasing him. He wondered why he was able to detect this, while others didn't.
Is it because she chose him as a friend?
"Stop teasing him. Landon, unfortunately, was born without a sense of humour," said Johnathan.
"Well isn't that just a shame," Mika answered, everyone was in shock. How did he know she wasn't serious?
"He does have a nasty attitude and blasted anger problem. He seriously needs to work on that." She said turning.
"Mr Moon I believe I've said what I came here for. Please make sure that you work on your feelings about vampires."
"I seriously don't know what gave you the impression, to think you can come around here and order us around. I do not take orders from you and never will, so I advise you to take that assumption you have in your head and yourself out of here and never come back," said Linda
This made Mika laugh out loud. This does not happen when Mika is around and that is when her uncle walked in.
Damien was surprised to see his niece in the packhouse and laughing. However, he soon realised it was a peal of sinister laughter. The laugh was not sincere at all, it was dark and cold. This made everyone pay attention and be afraid.
This meant danger. Everyone felt it, of course, except Linda. She was so overwhelmed with anger she didn't even realise the danger around her. Reese quickly moved closer to her and wrapped his around her thin waist, though this repulsed him. He did this to stop her from going too far. He didn't know how was this girl this strong, but the power they felt now was really scary.
"That's funny," said Mika. She hated hypocrites. She belong here more than the wench Linda and she dared to tell her otherwise.
"Look here, Linda. Linda is your name right?" Mika narrowed her eyes.
"I don't need your approval to be here. However, you are another story. You do need mine. The moment Landon became my mate, I became the Luna. I do not need a ceremony to become one, I was born to lead if you haven't noticed. Your son became the Alpha of this pack, the moment he spoke to all of his mates." Mika told this with confidence.
"You have no say in this pack. I am being lenient with you right now. You must understand, mother-in-law or not. I do not tolerate disrespect. I am highly temperament, your son has nothing on me. So, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself and do as you are told." Mika stated.
"Mika Alysia Winston, is that a way to speak to your elders?" scolded her uncle.
"Sorry uncle." she smirked "Where is John?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Don't change the subject, young lady. Linda is an adult, you should not speak to her like that." Her uncle preached.
"She has no say in my mate's decisions and has no right to tell him what to do either, nor is she allowed to speak to me the way she just did. So, I am sorry. I felt like telling her, how much of a spoiled brat she is," said Mika.
"Mika, that is enough. She is Landon's mother. Doesn't that amount to something?" asked her uncle.
"Landon would still be born and existed, even if she was not his mother. So, she did not do me any favours by being his mother and raising him," she said coldly. Everyone in the room was filled with confusion, the statement she made now sounded very wrong. She was implying Linda was not Landon's mother.
What was going on?
"SHUT UP!" screamed Landon. Mika didn't even flinch with his outburst.
"How dare you insult my mother like that? Do you think you are that special? You think I cannot reject you as my mate?" he said fuming with anger, he was breathing hard. Veins were popping from his forehead and neck with pent breaths filling the room. He was really mad at her.
Mika smirked and found his anger amusing.
"No one is stopping you. Go ahead mate, reject me. I dare you." she taunted, she wanted to teach them all a lesson.
They will learn something scary today, they will learn she was different. Mika was not angry at Landon, she understood him. After all, he knew Linda as his mother all his life and could stand anyone disrespecting her. Linda was not a perfect mother but he was there for them and the pack.
Or so they thought.
"I Landon Reese Moon, reject you, Mika Alysia Winston, as my mate and Luna of the Dark Moon Pack." Mika just looked at him with amused eyes.
They all waited for something to happen, but Mika just stood there with no change and shook her head in pity. Landon felt the bond more prominent and stronger than before. He was confused.
"Try again mate of mine. That ain't gonna work on me. Unfortunately," she said amused.
Her behaviour shocked everyone present including Alpha Reese. He found himself swimming amid fear. He read once in the ancient books, he read about wolves like her. Could she be one of those legendary wolves? Every wolve knew of this legend, after all, these wolves were the order of all.
Golden wolves are not born but the creation of heartache, pain and anguish. This was a gift given to those deemed deserving and of great strength. These wolves were created from those who were born with fewer emotions and more strength.
These wolves can be mated to more than one mate and it can even amount to 5. Golden wolves are created after every millennium, these wolves can never be rejected. These wolves are considered royal of royals, no other wolf is stronger than them.
They command respect and were never detected when they were around. Golden loved to tease their significant others and pack members to test their strength, intelligence, intellect, and agility. Many can be very vile but they all differ, yes the gift is to protect other wolves but any wolf can be crazed with power and resist its destiny.
Golden wolves are the most respected and cherished wolves beside the moon goddess to ever live. This was because they shared the same soul with the moon goddess herself. It is known by few where they exist and those who have witnessed this were the lucky ones, yet the most cursed. Golden wolves loved to torment and entice enemies.
They command the packs, but only when they see the need to protect or enlist the law. They only command when angry and address an important message.
"You cocky bitch," said Landon with a sneer on his face.
Linda had a smirk with delight. This stupid boy was not disappointing, but she was still worried the rejection seemed to not have worked. She was still overjoyed, her son was defending her. He even went on, as rejecting the pathetic bitch. Well, she can't be blamed for his stupidity. She was sure the girl will make him regret this but will make Linda succeed in her long-planned plans.
"I will have you know, that was not an insult. After all, I am a she-wolf." Mika said bored
"OH, you lit..." as Landon was going to carry on insulting his mate. He was interrupted but his fathers booming voice.
"Enough," said Reese. Though he was not the alpha of the pack anymore, Landon still had to respect him as a father. The alpha command was still working on the regular pack members. Be it him, not their leader anymore but he is still an alpha and is considered an elder now.
Landon stopped immediately and stared at his father with wide eyes. It was no secret, alpha Reese did not have a habit of raising his voice unless he was extremely unhappy.
"Mika my dear, I apologise for the disrespect my son and wife has shown you. Please forgive them and spare my wife's life. I will ensure she does not interfere with your ruling and son's mating," said Reese, everyone was left dumbfounded.
"Dad, what the fuck?" Landon asked in anger and disrespectfully.
"Are you being serious right now, Reese? Are you siding with this wretched witch?" asked Linda with anger and fury present in her eyes and voice.
"Linda that is enough," said Alpha Reese. Mika sighed at this commotion and shook her head again in disappointment.
"All is fine Mr Moon. Let just leave it as it is," she said "She is just showing her true colours anyway. After all, she was never the deserving Luna. Not the real Luna nor the mother of your children. I hate witchcraft Linda and your end is today." said Mika with a smirk.
Linda stood frozen and paled with fear.
