CHAPTER 122
ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV
It was now time for Sean to face his trials and to be frankly speaking, I would rather not be here, I did not want to look at him, absolutely nothing.
I was not even going to be the one to give him his punishment. One of the elders in the pack was going to do that, not me, my father also could not do it.
Seam was dragged out in front of the whole pack and all the while everything happened, I looked away. Even if I were to look at him, it would just be a short glance.
"This is a hard decision for us because Sean here has killed and saved countless people, even since he was a little boy, his younger age, he had sacrificed a lot, and then he ended up killing for our enemies, going against his family, something none of us here would ever imagine", The elder started as pack members went silent, listening to him speak.
"Sean here should be executed, but I am not convinced that would be the right choice seeing as he also surrendered, not being able to follow through with whatever he was thinking", The Elder went on, not getting interrupted. This Elder is a well-respected person in this pack.
"So seeing how far Sean has come with us and there are also a lot of things to look at, he will be degraded", The Elder said, giving the punishment for Sean's betrayal.
There were murmurs around the whole pack, "SILENCE!", I said to all of them. They had no idea how much I wanted to leave this place right now, so they better keep shut and listen.
"Just because a little mercy has been shown, seeing as the good Sean had always done for this pack does not mean such an act will be tolerated, he just got lucky", with that said, I did not even need to wait anymore and I left.
I was so furious, there was no point staying there, I just kept having flashbacks of how he betrayed us and killed people he had once fought with, all in the name of shadow and no shadow. WHAT SHADOW EXACTLY???!!
I hit a vase that was close to me so hard that it broke. The workers that were in the house shook from fear, not moving from their spot as I fumed.
MONTANA'S POV
I knew this would not go well. It was not a surprise to me or anyone in this pack how Sean's betrayal would affect Lincoln.
When Lincoln left, I could feel the sadness from the pack and I knew some people wanted Sean dead, while others just focused their pity and pain on Lincoln and the pain from being betrayed by one of their own.
I took over from here, "Sean will no longer be our Beta," I announced and then turned to Sean and said, "You are stripped from your Beta title, and you are now a commoner, even the Omega status, you do not deserve!"
He nodded, accepting his punishment. Seems like he was prepared to die, but the Moon Goddess had other plans for him.
"That will be all. Thank you all for your time. Dismissed!", Quickly after saying that, I rushed to check up on Lincoln and that was when I heard that sound.
I spent, rushing into the living room to see pieces of an expensive vase, I tell you, decorating the floor, while Lincoln just stood there.
I rushed up to him and touched his arm. I moved to his front, stood in front of him, my hands now touching his chest, "Relax!", I said to him softly, "I know you are angry now, but I need you to calm your wolf down, we know how bad it can get if you don't, and it is not worth it right now."
Lincoln looked at me and then closed his eyes, "He is so lucky I did not decide to beat his ass to a pulp."
"He is," I agreed, holding back a chuckle and rubbing Lincoln's face.
After some time, Lincoln was back to himself. I had some workers help clean up the living room.
"Why don't we talk a walk around the pack, see how everyone is doing and things are," I suggested.
Lincoln agreed, "Of course, that sounds good, we really should."
That was what we did. Moved around the pack, checked on some damages due to the war and took notes of things that would need to be fixed, we also picked up some few things that needed to be noted.
"We need to move", Lincoln suddenly said while we still went around the pack.
"Move? What do you mean?"
"The pack is too small, we have to build another, go somewhere big, where we can build more and more and there will still be land, we have to build our Kingdom!", he explained as I also thought about it.
It was true that the pack was getting filled up, and we needed more space. Plus the people from the packs we conquered, the majority of them had come to join ours and as the King and Queen of werewolves, it is only right that there is a kingdom.
The werewolves have been without law and order for so long, although each pack has their law and order, but it was time for Royalty to be restored.
"We can also use the lands for business purposes, farming and many other things when we move to our Kingdom, that is when the Kingdom is built," I added.
"It all sounds perfect," He agreed.
"We will need to meet with all the important people that we will need for this.new-found project, elders, etc., all of them," he said to me and right now, we were returning to the house.
"All that can work, we need to start immediately so that we can finish up in some years or less."
"Luna, we are so glad to have you back", A woman walked up to me, interrupting Lincoln's and I discussion, we had no problem with that.
"Thank you so much, I am glad to be back and see you all safe and sound," I said to the woman with a smile on my face before we parted ways.
"Quick question though", Lincoln muttered.
"Sure…what is the question?", I asked him.
"What country do you suggest the kingdom be built in?"
