Chapter _11 Draco pov~

I barely get through the meal.. the Luna chattering nonstop over some inconsequential bullshit about handbags and matching shoes. Like I said.. barely made it!

Sitting here in the Alpha's office, nursing a Jameson's.. I wait to hear this nonconformist banishment story. It's only Alpha Anderson, which I find odd.. but choose to hold my tongue, for the time being.

Anderson has yet to speak on the topic I want to know about.. so I cut him off "Alpha, all that is quite interesting, I'm sure.. but I am more interested in the banishment of my new attorney .

He clears his throat and says yes and clears his throat again. That almost always indicates I am about to hear some bullshit that won't fly.

He starts "Aurora was born into this pack.. and well.. I started dating Amelia.. my Luna.. five years ago. When I came home, two years back.. from Alpha training, I had decided to take her as my chosen.. the night of my ascension.. which was a few hours away. Aurora disagreed with it.. as Amelia wasn't my true mate. And Aurora is nothing, if not conventional.

She believes in the Goddess's doctrine.. and thinks we should settle for nothing less.

Her disrespect to my father was over the top.. and he banished her for it. She couldn't confirm to my choices and argued with my father about it...

I sat there. For like five minutes. Two minutes.. maybe forty five seconds.. I don't know..

I asked "That's it!? That's all? She was banished for questioning her Alpha's choice to thwart the Goddess's authority?

A beta born woman? Was banished for expressing her opinion? Let me get this straight.. your father banished her for voicing her thoughts about you taking a chosen?

Had you found your mate? Had your Luna found hers?"

He shook his head and said "No. We both just decided to be each other's chosen."

Okay. I'm not getting it. What am I missing?! I asked again "So.. the two of you decided?

That you would deprive two others the rights the other half their souls... Without knowing or even caring about the damage this might cause your true mates?

And you banished the twin sister for feeling the way almost everyone else feels? Making her rogue!?"

He said "Putting it that way.. it sounds bad.

But, it was a mutual decision.. and we were satisfied with it."

Adrian links me to ask where his beta is.. so I ask "Why is your beta not here? I would like to hear his take on this."

He clears his throat again "Caleb and I don't quite see eye to eye on this.

So I volunteered to be the one to relay the information."

I nod.. hmm.. not sitting right. Something just doesn't mesh. "Did you fight up for the girl to stay?

I mean.. you could have lifted the banishment that same night, no!? You were Alpha not even three hours after your father issued the order.. sooo?"

His indignant reply was "I would never override Alpha's orders.. especially my own father's!"

I said "I would say I see.. but I don't. Not really. What I actually see is piss poor leadership.. which could have easily cost the life of your Luna's twin sister!

But.. okay. I will induct her into my pack.. and be grateful for her expertise in handling my legal affairs. I just hope what you've told me isn't a falsehood."
