Chapter 41: Chapter 42: Aiden’s Anger
Alpha thane sat down beside Luna Lila on the bed clasping his hands together, "I don't know how the pack will take the news Lila ,having the same gender mate is something we've never dealt with before. I thought Kaiden and Aiden will be the first case, but this whole beta Micheal's mate came to me as a surprise for me, but I'll find a way to make it work, I'll talk to the pack and make them see reason and accept what the Moon Goddess has chosen for beta Micheal."
He paused, collecting all thought, " I'll also prepare their minds for what's to come," he said. "Not just for beta Micheal and Elijah, but also for Aiden and his mate."
Luna Lila reached out and take his hands in her's, "you're a great leader thane ," I know you'll find a way to make this work and I'll be right by your side , supporting you, well face it together."
Alpha thane kiss his mate and thanked her for always supporting him, pulling away from the kiss he decided to tell about what seer Nameria told him concerning Aiden's safety. "I have another pressing matter that I need to talk to you about , it's concerning Aiden and the constant threat to his life ."
Luna Lila eyebrows shot up , "have you caught those that are trying to kill him?" She asked , her voice tinged with concern. Aiden was quite scared about that incident, and he's hesitant to go out again."
"I haven't found those that wanted to harm our son but seer Nameria had found a solution for us ,"he said , "but it's a little bit difficult because Aiden will have to go to a far away place , some where no one knows ,somewhere Alpha Kael won't be able to find him."
Luna Lila eyes widened, her brow furrowing in concern. "What ?… where ?" She asked, her voice laced with worry.
Alpha thane took a deep breath before continuing. "I haven't decided where to take him yet, I wanted to discuss it with you first so we can conclude and plan it together, think about it ,once he's not here he'll be able to live freely , have a normal life like a normal teenager. No more constant threats, no more fear of being discovered and killed."
Luna Lila's face crumpled, and she burst into tears. "I don't know if I can let him go," she sobbed, "I'll miss him so much. Aiden has been my source of joy since the death of Aurora ,He's the one who's kept me going, who's made me feel like I still have a purpose."
Alpha Thane's face softened, and he pulled Luna Lila into a tight hug. "I know, my love," he whispered quietly , "I know how hard it's been for you to lose Aurora. But if we don't let Aiden leave, he'll be miserable. He'll be living in constant fear, always looking over his shoulder. And we might lose him too, just like we lost Aurora."
Luna Lila's sobs grew louder, and she buried her face in Alpha Thane's chest. "I don't want to lose any of my children again,Alpha thane continued, "I couldn't bear it. that's why we can't keep Aiden here, not with Alpha Kael still out there, threatening his life. We have to think about what's best for Aiden, even if it means letting him go."
Luna Lila expression turned skeptical, her eyes welling with tears. "What about his safety?" She asked, trying her best not to burst into tears again.
Alpha thane wipe her tears with his thumb and reassured her, "Aiden won't be going alone ,Ryker will follow him to keep him safe .
Ryker is one of our most skilled warriors, and I trust him with my life,He'll make sure to protect Aiden at all times .
Alpha Thane pulled Luna Lila close, wrapping his arms around her and holding her tight. "Our son will be fine Lila ,Nothing will happen to him, I promise. Ryker will be with him all the time, protecting him and keeping him safe."
Luna Lila's sobs slowly subsided, and she clung to Alpha Thane, finding comfort in his warm embrace. "Okay," she said finally. "If Ryker is going with him, then I trust that Aiden will be safe."
Alpha Thane pulled back and looked into Luna Lila's eyes. "We'll tell Aiden in the morning,We'll explain everything to him and make sure he understands what's going to happen."
Luna Lila nodded, a small smile on her face. "Okay," she replied.
Together they climbed under the covers, Alpha Thane pulling Luna Lila close and holding her tight while they drift off to sleep.
The morning sun cast its warm rays over Alpha thane's quarters, signaling the start of a new day. Alpha Thane and Luna Lila woke up, exchanging a quiet glance. They both knew today was the day they would have to tell Aiden about their plan to keep him safe from Alpha Kael. they began their morning routine, their minds already focusing on the challenging conversation that lay ahead. After breakfast, they called a guard to summon Aiden to Alpha Thane's office.
Aiden arrived at his father's office, looking curious and a bit concerned when he saw both his parent in his father's office . "What's going on, Father?" he asked, taking a seat in front of Alpha Thane's desk.
Alpha Thane took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "Aiden, you know that Alpha Kael is still a threat to your safety. We've been trying to come up with a solution to keep you protected, and we've decided that it would be best for you to travel to a faraway place, somewhere Alpha Kael won't be able to find you."
Aiden's expression darkened,anger flashing through his eye, "what…, No, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere. my home is here, Everything I care about is here. My friends, my family, my pack and Kaiden ... I won't run because of some alpha who thinks he can intimidate me."
Alpha Thane and Luna Lila exchanged a shocked glance. They had never seen Aiden so angry before. "Aiden, please understand-" Alpha Thane began, but Aiden cut him off.
"No, Father. I won't understand. I won't leave. You can't make me." With that, Aiden stomped out of the office, leaving his parents looking at each other in shock.
Luna Lila's eyes were wide with concern. "Thane, what do we do? We've never seen him like this before."
Alpha Thane's face was grim. "I don't know, but we need to find a way to make him understand. His safety is at stake."
Luna Lila sign, "I'll go talk to him and let him see reasons, and you should call Kaiden maybe Aiden will listen to him."with that said Luna Lila stood up and went in search of Aiden.
