Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama-Chapter 175: To prove that you’re truly sorry...

Selene POV

"Noah!" I laughed, rising on my feet "You cannot say that. I committed a grave sin and I need to atone for it,".

"Seriously, Selene," he dragged me back to him "All these things are not necessary but if you insist, I cannot stop you and it’s the best thing ever to see that you genuinely care for me. to say the truth, these few days it has not been easy dealing with home – my sister won’t even talk to me. Won’t take my calls... my dad has gone mum on me and is keeping it professional. Not to talk of the pack elders and officials... one slip and they’ll have me thrown away from this seat,".

"Thrown away?" I eyed him curiously "What are you talking about? You became King based on inheritance. Your dad was a Grand Lycan and by right, his heir should rule in his stead,".

"Yes, that is correct but it doesn’t always work. If the heir of the current King is not found worthy to rule, the Pack elders and Officials have the right to deny him of that position. And if a sitting Lycan King misbehaves, they also have a right to petition for his removal. That’s how things are done around here,".

"Who are they petitioning to?" I asked.

"To Brooke’s father. He comes from a long lineage of Kingmakers and aside from me, who is the sovereign head in the pack, he’s also one and his decisions most times could override mine,".

"Wow! I am hearing this for the first time. Is that the reason why you didn’t want me to do that to Brooke because of her father?"

"Yeah!" he nodded "But don’t worry, I haven’t done anything yet to warrant that. Still, it’s a good thing to show them how remorseful you feel about everything that happened. And, Selene..." he jerked my jaw towards him, his green eyes hovered around my face "I love you, so much. More than anything I hold dear in life,".

I feigned being touched and murmured "I love you too, Noah. I promise, I do..." I added.

"I know!" he nodded "then clasped my hands instead "I know you don’t want to talk about babies now but our anniversary is coming soon and we could start trying for babies. Maybe you could get off the pill and take vitamins... things that women take,".

So, I had from now until our anniversary which is like three months away. Whatever I have to do, I must hasten up at this point.

"Sure!" I nodded "I’ll be ready," ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

The elders were purposely coming in late.

All of Noah’s attempts to get hold of his dad last week proved abortive. Since his sister wasn’t talking to him... and the servants too were avoiding being embroiled in the drama between father and son and weren’t communicating with him either. So, I decided that the best way to apologize is to do it publicly.

Since everything happened in the presence of the pack elders and officials, I might as well return the favour. Since it was a meeting, the Grand Lycan honoured the invitation. He was the first to arrive.

He nodded to my greeting and didn’t say a word to Noah who tried to greet him with enthusiasm too. Soon, everyone was seated and finally, Nora – Noah’s sister walked in. I was surprised to see her here... she was a Luna of another pack what was she doing here?

When everyone was seated, I rose from my seat and went to stand in front of the microphone in the centre of the room. Although they all had calm demeanour, I could feel their insides building with rage. Masking emotions was one of the things that set Lycans apart from Werewolves.

"Thank you all for honouring our invitation and sincerely it was me who wanted to see you all and not the king. I realized that meeting every one of you individually will not only wear me out but will make me seem insincere and at this point, this is the last narrative I want to give,". I inhaled sharply.

"First, I’d like to apologize to the Grand Alpha," I turned towards Leonard noting that his eyebrows arched with surprise "I was a fool for speaking to you in that manner that day and retailing. I know I am not the ideal wife you want for your son but you cannot change me either. This is who I am and we should always be the best original version of ourselves. So, I am sorry and I hope you can forgive me,".

The rest of the hall turned to each exchange surprised looks with each other as they slowly turned their attention to Carrell. My heart was pounding in my chest as I tried to smile. Carrell gave me a cursory glance before nodding his head.

"I’ve heard you, Luna Selene and I’m glad that you decided to admit your mistakes. I hope in future it will not happen again," he asked cocking his brow towards me.

"I promise, Your Majesty," I told him firmly "Starting from this moment, I will handle a lot of things efficiently. Learn to put a lid on my emotions but most importantly, I’ll be better,".

The rest of the elders kept staring at me intently. I could see that expected me to do something... "Also, to all the elders and officials of the Pack, I want to implore for your forgiveness on that day too. No matter what I shouldn’t have disrespected the Lycan, the Grand Lycan and everyone present here. I want to apologize for everything that I might have caused everyone present here and I hope I can be forgiven too. I’ve learned my lesson... moving forward I will be on my best behaviour,"/

That’s a welcome Idea," one of the pack elders replied "But if you think that because you shed a few tears and apologized that we can simply forgive and forget it’s not possible, Luna. To prove that you’re truly sorry, then there must be something you must do,".
