MARRIED TO THE ALPHA - VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 34

“Wait!” James exclaimed, making everyone look at him.

“What are you doing?” Alpha Edward growled.

“Before Alpha Damon decides on his proxy, we should confirm that everyone understands the rules,” James said. “The rules say a champion can be chosen, and he needs to be willing to represent the party in an Alpha challenge.”

Damon realized that James had just helped him out. “I see. What else do the rules say?”

“The Champion can be an achieved warrior or a blood relative. If willing, he will represent the Alpha, and it’s an honorable thing that the other party picks a champion as well.”

Alpha Edward smirked at James’ words. “That’s what I was thinking. George!” Alpha Edward waved at George, who still didn’t move from his spot. “You get the honor of representing your pack in this challenge.”

Damon raised his hand. “Just a moment. Before Commander George accepts, I want to name my Champion as well.”

Alpha Edward gestured to Damon to go ahead.

Talia rolled her shoulders. She was ready for this.

Can she fight against George? She can knock him down with Liseli’s help, and people will not notice that Talia used glowing abilities.

Damon noticed that Talia was warming up to something, and he asked her through the mind-link, ‘What are you doing?’

‘Getting ready to fight,’ Talia responded matter-of-factly.

Damon looked at her helplessly. ‘Do you think I will send my pregnant mate to fight in my place?’

Talia was a bit disappointed. Other than being unable to shift, she could do everything else, much more than other Alphas! ‘I know George is a friend, but if he is fighting for Alpha Edward, we can’t take this lightly. Besides, I can knock him out without harming him. Who will you send? Max? Tony?’

“George!” Damon called. “I want you to be my Champion.”

Alpha Edward stared at Damon in disbelief. “Are you so afraid that you are giving up?”

Damon raised his hand, indicating to Alpha Edward to stop talking.

“Rules are that the Champion needs to be an achieved warrior and that he is willing. There is nothing to say he needs to be from my pack. What do you say, Commander George? Will you represent me as my Champion?”

George smirked and walked into the fighting area. He turned to Damon and put his hand over his chest. “It will be my honor, Alpha Damon.”

Alpha Edward couldn’t believe this. “George! What are you doing!?”

“Alpha Damon and I trained together. I know his moves, and he knows mine. Like this… it will be more interesting.”

“The rules are clear!” Maddox exclaimed from the side. “Commander George accepted to represent Alpha Damon. Are you going to break the rules, Alpha Edward?”

Damon chuckled. “Don’t be a sourpuss, Edward! Pick another one!”

Alpha Edward gritted his teeth. What other one? George was the best! Picking any other warrior from the Red Moon pack would be giving up! And he didn’t have anyone from another pack to pick. Could he pick Alpha William or Alpha Richard or their Betas? But all those people avoided his gaze, and he didn’t want to embarrass himself with another rejection. What about Beta Raymond? Where the hell did that guy go?

Alpha Edward looked around frantically, and his eyes landed on one person that couldn’t say no. “James, my boy. You get to…”

“No,” James refused before Alpha Edward could finish.

‘James,’ Alpha Edward called thorough their mind-link. ‘George is your mentor. He won’t harm you. You only need to put on a show so I can cause a commotion and shoot Alpha Damon. I have a gun with…’

‘No!’ James said. ‘A gun? Look how many Alphas are watching. What honor will we have left?’

‘Screw honor!’ Alpha Edward was livid. ‘Who cares about honor if we lose the pack!?’

‘You should have thought about it before you challenged Alpha Damon.’

‘This will be your pack one day!’

‘I don’t need it,’ James responded.

“James,” Alpha Edward called with his voice for everyone to hear. “As my son and the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack, you must represent the pack. Don’t tell me that the female by your side made you lose your reasoning. Did she cast a spell on you? You are still young, and you will meet many…”

James tuned out his father. He turned to look at Cornelia, whose hand he held, and she smiled at him with a smile that chased away everything bad in the world. That was his chocolate-colored Goddess, she was pregnant with his pup, and the future was bright as long as Alpha Edward was not nearby.

Did Cornelia cast a spell on him? Maybe she did, but if that was the case, he wanted to stay in that enchantment forever.

“JAMES REDMAYNE!” Alpha Edward roared, not caring about their audience.

James cringed. “Stop yelling.” This was not about representing the pack; it was about satisfying his father’s greed. “I won’t fight in your place because I refuse to fight my Alpha.”

Alpha Edward was sure that his ears malfunctioned. “Your WHAT!?”

“I, James Redmayne, denounce the Red Moon…”

“JAMES!” Alpha Edward shouted.

“…and I reject Alpha Edward…”

“STOP!”

“…as my Alpha.”

Alpha Edward clutched his chest. What the hell did his son do?

James turned to Damon. “Alpha Damon, is the offer still valid?”

Damon grinned. “Welcome to the family, Gamma James. We will get to the formality of the ceremony as soon as we finish here.”

Alpha Edward nearly vomited from anger. “Gamma!? You are abandoning the position of the future Alpha so that you can be a lowly Gamma!?”

James didn’t want to respond. He squeezed Cornelia’s hand, and they walked to Damon and Talia.

Damon and James shook hands, and Talia gave a hug to Cornelia, and then she hugged James as well.

“You should probably stay in the back,” Talia told Cornelia, to which the latter nodded.

“George!” James shouted. “Make sure to do a body search before fighting. You never know if someone might have a weapon on him.”

James gave Damon a meaningful look, and Damon understood that James said that for a reason. Did Alpha Edward have a concealed weapon? Of course, he did. Alpha Edward was a sneaky fox, and James never spoke without reason.

Alpha Edward was on the verge of passing out from anger. Did James snitch on him? He turned to Luna Layla. “Do you see this!? This is the son you gave me! Why didn’t you stop him?”

“Ha. Ha. Hahahaha…” Luna Layla was laughing hysterically. “To think that I got to live to see this day.”

Alpha Edward couldn’t believe this. “Are you crazy!?”

“Me? Crazy? I was crazy for being your mate and wasting more than two decades of my life. I am done.”

“WHAT!? You are leaving me!? I am the Alpha of this pack! See if you can leave this territory in one piece!”

Luna Layla shrugged. “Without an heir, your pack is doomed for failure. When warriors find out that their Alpha doesn’t have a future, they will riot and grab as much as they can before everything collapses. No one will heed your order.”

“What about everything we built together? What about our children? James is still my son. He will see reason and come back!”

“You don’t have children, dear,” Luna Layla said with venom in her voice.

Alpha Edward’s eyes flashed when he understood the meaning behind Luna Layla’s words. “Impossible!”
