Their Conversation
At the Palace
Alpha Leem is patiently waiting for his appointment with King Vaugim; his family is waiting in their suite with Walker and Lincy
Elder Zariah had contacted him a few days ago to inform him that there was a slight chance that there wouldn’t he a verdict after the hearing King Vaughn had an obligation probably couldn’t get out of, but they were doing their best to move that obligation to a later date.
To make it up to Alpha Leon, his family and his Beta were vited to come along Lucy was asked to come as well, because she was involved in the hearing and the invitation was accepted by everyone with enthusiasm.
“Alpha Leon, my apologies for keeping you waiting. King Vaughn is ready to see you” Elder Jensen says as he stops in front of Alpha Leon.
Alpha Leon isn’t too happy to see the Elder again; after all he was the one who didn’t warn him about the cancellation.
Both of them walk into King Vaughn’s chamber, it is where the King or Queen conducts any issue involving the Kingdom and will be used for the trial today.
After greeting the King, Alpha Leon sits down in the chair the King gestures for him to take. There is a file on the desk in front of King Vaughn and the room is quiet for a few minutes.
“Alpha Leon, you know what your Pack–laws say about the conditions that have to be met for someone to take over the Alpha position. Why did you try to break them?” King Vaughn asks.
Instead of answering the King immediately, Alpha Leon keeps quiet for a few seconds.
“Your Majesty, this isn’t easy to talk about. The events leading to the Alpha and Luna Ceremony aren’t all happy memories and I took a chance when I went ahead with the Ceremonies.” Alpha Leon says.
“Nico found his connection shortly after he turned eighteen and they spent as much time together as they could, forming that connection into a true Mate–bond. Unfortunately, Nico’s Mate died a few weeks after they marked one another and for a while, my Mate and I feared that we would lose him.” Alpha Leon mumbles.
“If it hadn’t been for Lucy, I think that Nico would have been lost to us. She comforted him; she picked up the pieces after his Mate died and the most unexpected thing happeried. They fell in love and Nico was happy again.
I know that I broke our Pack–laws, but seeing my oldest Son happy again was worth it. We had planned on changing the Pack–laws after the Ceremonies, but we didn’t get the chance to and today I am here to ask you to allow me to change it, Your Majesty.” Alpha Leon states.
Alpha Leon is too focused on the King that he doesn’t notice the looks Elder Zariah and Elder Jensen exchange.
“Alpha Leon, as you know, we have to discuss this matter privately. Unfortunately, we were unable to postpone King Vaughn’s other obligation. We will meet back here tomorrow morning to discuss the King’s verdict,” Elder Venetia says as she gets out of her chair.
There is nothing that Alpha Leon can do or say; he will just have to wait until morning to get the verdict from the King
“Why don’t you bring the rest of your guests with you tomorrow morning? Not everyone gets to see the inside of the King’s chamber and I am sure that they would love to accompany you.” Elder Venetia says as she guides him out the door.

She watches as Alpha Leon gets escorted back to the suite and slowly shakes her head at how gullible the Alpha is Doesn’t he wonder why he is the exception to the rule? No one has ever been allowed to bring anyone with them to the King’s chamber.
“Does he suspect anything?” King Vaughn asks the Elders guce the door is closed again.
“No, he doesn’t. He probably is too full of himself to realize that there must be a catch to this visit; I doubt any of them has even considered the possibility of this being a rose.” Elder Jensen answers him.
“Any i
idea what will happen tomorrow?” King Vaughm asks and looks at Elder Jensen, knowing he is responsible for the Squad that Dallas leads.
“No, I don’t. I asked Dallas to keep it from me; I want to find out what she has at the same time the rest of you do. I know as much about this situation as the three of you do and I will be as surprised as you will be or not.” He answers the King.
“Your Majesty, hearing what Alpha Leon said, what would be your verdict?” Elder Zariah asks.
This was a part of the test. After hearing Alpha Leon’s explanation, the King would tell them what his verdict. would be. Tomorrow, after the new trial, he would discuss behind closed doors with the Elders and then render his verdict.
King Vaughn still believes that his verdict won’t change, whether he hears just one side of the story or multiple sides. He doesn’t believe that an Alpha would lie to his King or Queen to get away with breaking the Laws
The Elders believe that King Vaughn will find out that his beliefs and most of the trials are old–fashioned and need to be revised for the future.
“I believe that Nico is lucky to have found happiness again. Could Alpha Leon have gone about this in a different way? Yes, he could and he should have. However, I don’t believe that is enough to keep Nico from taking over from his Father. I would rule in favor of Alpha Leon.” King Yaughn answers after careful consideration.
Elder Venetia has written down the King’s answer and places it in an envelope before she seals it with the Elder seal. After placing it in the safe, all four of them leave the King’s chamber and each heads in their own direction.
King Vaughn will have a nice, quiet dinner on his own floor with his family; he can’t risk being seen by Alpha Leon or any of his other guests.
The Elders will be in the main dining room to keep an eye on Alpha Leon and their other guests; maybe they will hear a few things when listening in on their conversation.
