Chapter 91

A Fair Trade ***Zane***

King Author glares at me as Talia and I take our seats at the table, neither one of us bowing before him. “So you are the child Sebastian kept a secret all these years,” the King says in a low voice. “The true heir to the Scarlett Haven Alpha title.” I do not feel the need to give an answer and remain silent, much to the King’s annoyance.

Luna Sara’s eyes bore into me with seething rage while her brother, Alpha Richard, looks at me with bemusement. “Well, considering you called this meeting, I presume it wasn’t to waste my time,” the King snarls.

“You’ve killed your father according to witnesses, which means by law, Scarlett Haven now belongs to you. I’m glad to hear the rightful heir has taken over,” he says, Luna Sara clenching her jaw at the King’s comment.

“I’ve brought the Elders so you can take your oath-” “That won’t be necessary,” Toran interjects. “Alpha Zane” “Did I say you could speak, mutt!?” The King growls, Toran’s face calm and unfazed.I’ll have to remember to ask him how he manages such composure at all times.

“I did not come all this way to listen to you spew your filth!” the King snaps as he turns back to me. Now, boy. The Oath is quite simple. As Alpha of Scarlett Haven, you will swear allegiance to the Kingdom of Crescent Mane and take over your father’s debt to Onyx Stone.

They require an heir and it will be your responsibility to produce one with one of their wolves. Alpha Richard has made a selection of eligible brides for you to choose from.” I steal a glance at my mate, who is doing her best to hold back her laughter, though the look in her eyes is anything but amused. “It’s alright,” I murmur as I open a connection between us.
