Chapter 122
Alpha Ansaldo went to fetch the maid for Bree. “Aisha, our Luna is here, and you must take care of everything she needs. Answer every question she asks and make sure she’s happy.”
His expression was stern as he gave instructions concerning Bree. He noticed that neither his father nor Abilene were around and felt relieved.
“Yes, Alpha. Please, when will she be coronated?” Aisha asked politely, finding it hard to contain her excitement.
There was something else she wanted to say but found herself holding back. Alpha Ansaldo could not set the date without discussing it with Bree and answered.
“Very soon. Now hurry and make sure she’s comfortable. If she wants any changes done in the room, no need to ask
me:
He did not want Bree to miss her former pack, so everything should just be the way she liked it.
“Yes, Alpha,” Aisha responded and headed upstairs to the Alpha’s chamber.
Alpha Ansaldo was about to summon his beta for a short meeting when someone barged into the pack house with three warriors.
A frown contoured Alpha Ansaldo’s features the moment he recognized the person. “Alpha Gaius, please show respect to my packhouse.”
Alpha Caius was Abilene’s father, so Alpha Ansaldo could subtly guess his reason for being there and why he looked upset.
A scornful look shone in Alpha Gaius’s eyes, and his voice oozed with dismay. “You don’t deserve respect for disrespecting my daughter.”
The tone of his voice and the attitude he showed was beginning to annoy Alpha Ansaldo, so he decided to put age aside and address the matter as a middle–aged man before him.

“Then take her with you. I am the Alpha of this pack. Could you not wait for my return? I was away for just three days, for goddess‘ sake.”
It was clear that this arrangement would not have been done had Alpha Ansaldo been present.
Alpha Caius revealed, “Your father said you kept brushing the matter aside, and he feared the pack would never have a Luna”
The subtle understanding of everything caused Alpha Ansaldo’s anger to surge, earning Alpha Gaius a sarcastic response from him.
“So, since you decided to marry your daughter to my father, it stays that way.”
“Stop insulting my intelligence. You are young enough to be my son,” Alpha Gaius raged, losing control of his temper.
How could he endure the disappointment after informing other Alphas of a pending coronation of his daughter as the Luna of the Riverbed pack?
Alpha Ansaldo was not making it any easier for him as well. “And you are old enough to be my father, but it doesn’t change the fact that I am still the Alpha of this pack.”
Not having any plans of backing down, a threat was issued in Alpha Ansaldo’s way. “If you are sending my daughter away, then you have to prepare for war.”

“Bring it on. Your daughter is not my mate, and I would not accept her as my wife,” Alpha Ansaldo responded seriously.
If the Riverbed pack was going to war with the East Red Pack because of Bree, he was ready for it.
“Alright. You wait until I finish dealing with that mate of yours,” Alpha Gaius threatened, and Alpha Ansaldo lost control of the fact that his mate was being targeted.
A punch on the face of the older Alpha caused him to stumble backward as shock registered on his face. “You hit me?”
There was no remorse on the face of Alpha Ansaldo as he responded.

“And I will do so again. The next time you threaten my mate, I would kill you, and before you do anything silly, just bear in mind that you shall not only be going against me but the whole Dark Moon pack.”
The mention of the Dark Moon pack caused Alpha Gaius to panic slightly. “You think Alpha Nick has so much time on his hands to give you his support!”
Alpha Ansaldo sneered. “At least for his sister, he would always make time.”
“What has his sister got to do with this?” Alpha Caius was getting confused, and the strength of his voice weakened. drastically as Alpha Ansaldo revealed.
“She is my mate.”
The news was like a bullet to him as he never heard about it. Now, he was wondering if his daughter had any knowledge of this before calling to inform him about Alpha Ansaldo’s refusal.
“Mate?” He began to look around for his daughter, and when he could not find her, he called out. “Abi, why did you not tell me that Alpha Ansaldo found his mate?”
Abilene was descending the stairs from the room she was hosted with a guilty expression.
“Dad, what does it change? We can’t be divorced until after three months, and yet, he wants me to go.” Her voice broke from time to time as she spoke.
Her father was now filled with regret, but his age and pride could not allow him to apologize to a younger Alpha. “Alpha Ansaldo, please let her stay for just three months, and you can divorce her,” he said politely. However, Alpha Ansaldo had no intention of holding off Bree’s coronation for such a long period of time. “Well, I don’t mind if she stays, but I am sending letters for Bree to be coronated in a week.”

“What? That would be an insult to us,” Alpha Caius yelled, unable to think of a way to overcome the shame..
At this point, he wanted so much to see Ansaldo’s father to plead with him to talk to his son.
“I don’t know why I should care about that. I never announced that she was my wife, so I don’t see the insult here.” A cold retort met Alpha Gaius’s words, and he confessed guiltily.
“But I did in my pack.”
Alpha Ansaldo shook his head at the level of stupidity of a man of his age. “And they were stupid enough to believe it when I did not turn up?” He asked in a mocking tone, and Alpha Gaius made a
final request.
“Look, you have to come up with something, but you can’t have that coronation.”
Alpha Ansaldo was about to retort when his phone vibrated, and seeing the caller, it was Alpha Nick. His heart thumped, hoping that Bree had not told him.
