Chapter 669

"Your territory is my territory," is said through my teeth. "Are you forgetting that I am the one in charge here?"

"Of course not, Alpha," Raymond said, a nervous laugh escaping him. "I just thought that I would protect my home and family from an outsider. We don't know anything about these people, nor were we expecting them. They could be traitors..."

"Are you saying you don't trust my judgment?" I asked sharply, cutting off his words.

"That's not what I meant," he sputtered. "I mean—”

"Were you aware that the woman you so terribly spoke to and threw off your property was your new Luna?"

He grew silent as he stared at me; words at the tip of his tongue barely making it past his lips. Confusion flashed in his eyes as his eyes darted from me to his wife and then back at me.

"W...what?" He asked. "I don't understand..."

Before he could even finish that sentence, I had his neck in my hands, and I threw him against the wall, my Lycan aura washing over me and making me grow even more powerful on the spot.noveldrama

"You treated your new Luna like shit," I hissed. "She wanted to meet the Betas of the pack, and you tossed her out like she was nothing more than trash."

"I...I didn't know," Raymond gasped, trying to get some air into his lungs. I squeezed tighter, my knuckles growing whiter by the second.

"Alpha, we had no idea she was our Luna. If we had known, we wouldn't have done it..." Meredith cried, tears streaming down her now pale cheeks. "We had no idea."

"And that makes it right for you to speak to anyone like that?" I asked, turning my glare to her, though I didn't loosen my grip on Raymond's neck. "You knew that we were having Redcliff pack members joining the Redmoon pack and yet you still treated her like complete shit."

"I'm so sorry..." Meridith cried. "We will apologize to her right away, but please don't hurt us."

"Apologizing isn't enough<' I said through my teeth. "I don't ever want to see your faces again. Ethan made the right move by switching alliances and leaving this territory."

"What are you saying?" Meredith asked, fear evident in her tone.

I released Raymond when his face started to turn purple from lack of oxygen. He fell to the ground, gasping and coughing for breath. His body trembled as he tried to comprehend what was happening.

"If you don't leave this pack by tomorrow night, I will kill you. I will skin you alive until you are unrecognizable."

"W...what?" Jenna asked, her eyes wide with unshed tears. "But...where would we go??"

"I'm marking you as rogues," I said dismissively. "You can go to the rogue territory and remain there for the rest of your days, but you won't set foot in another pack again. At least nowhere in my territory Your family has caused enough problems. I won't tolerate it any longer."

As I stood in my kitchen, I thought back to that moment when I

banished the Cash family; their crying and begging only fueled me. Once was sure they would listen to me, finally, I left and returned to the mansion to Judy. I needed to see her, despite her girls' night. Although it was late, I knew she was most likely in bed by now.

She was so beautiful sleeping in my shirt, and she looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake her, but I needed to hold her.

As Judy stood in the kitchen, staring at Nan, who spotted an I*******m post from Jenna, my heart fluttered slightly. I wondered if she was going to be happy about the news or upset. Either way, the Cash family needed to go, and I made sure that they would go.

Judys' face looked a bit impassive at first as she processed what Nan had said. "The Cash family is moving... tonight."

Eventually, Judy looked at me, and a knowing look passed her expression, though she didn't speak it out loud, I knew she was suspecting that I had something to do with this.

"I guess that's a good thing," Judy finally said, joining her friends at the table. "They were no good anyway."

They all nodded in agreement, though the shock was still heavy in the air.

Soon, almost everyone had left except Judy and me. When we were finally alone, she turned to look at me.

"One thing about a mate bond is that

I can feel your emotions," she said,

folding her arms across her chest She wore her down to hide her mark, which couldn't stand. We hadn't told frene about it yet, and I knew she was being cautious around her. I

was doing the same when I wore a

turtle neck the day before.

I wrapped her in my arms and pulled her close, leaning my body against the

kitchen counter. She went to me willingly.

"What kind of emotion and I feeling?" I asked, teasingly as my lips brushed across her cheek.

"Contentment and pride, like you're proud of something," she said, peering up at me. "So, how about you tell me what exactly you did?"
