Her possessive alpha

The announcement

The Dawn pack's Beta Cian and Gamma Filip called for another gathering that same evening at the packhouse courtyard. All the dawn wolves wondered what it would be this time around. And as soon as they were all gathered, Cian began the announcement.

"The two mistresses of the Alpha, known as Vivian and Ria have been hereby dismissed from their duties and banished from the Dawn packhouse forever. If they are ever to return for any reason whatsoever it may be, they are to be killed immediately."

Everyone gasped.

"The alpha gave this command after finding out their punishable crimes against Ava Maynard, the alphas mate. Luckily, Ava Maynard survived the incident but Vivian and Ria were still punished because of their betrayal to the alpha. Let us all be reminded that the Dawn pack will not tolerate any form of indiscipline or betrayal against our kind, we must learn to love and grow with one another, and the alpha will forever see to it that offenders will be given the punishment that fits the crime. This is the alpha's judgement, you may all be dismissed."

Everyone gathered began to proceed to their quarters but not Suri, her heart was gladdened that Ava survived the lake, but she still had someone to see first. She headed to the packhouse kitchen; Nani was already preparing dinner there along with the other servers.

"Oh Nani, why didn't you tell me that Ava survived the incident?" She cried.

"It was the alpha's orders; he didn't want anyone to find out she was still alive until the culprits were found."

"I understand, but you honestly don't know how glad this makes me feel, especially knowing that my Meeka was involved."

"Don't say that, your Meeka is the bravest and boldest little lass I've ever seen. Vivian and Ria might have used her to create the problem, but she solved it herself with her own little hands, you should be proud of her instead."

"I am, I truly am Nani."

"That's good."

"What about Ava? Is she okay now?"

"Yes, she's been fine since, but the alpha made sure to keep her hidden until he found out who the offenders were, now that they've been caught and punished, I think she can start accepting visitors now." "Oh, that'll be really good, I'm sure Meeka would want to see her too, my little girl's been sad about her ever since that lake incident."

"You can come see her this evening after dinner. You and Meeka."

"Can Jannie come too?"

Nani chuckled. "Why not? Of course, Jannie can come too, the more the merrier."

**********

Ava had a splendid dinner that evening, the horrid medication had stopped, she'd taken the last dose this afternoon and now, her food no longer had to be mixed with those bitter herbs anymore, now her stomach could smile again, she thought happily.

She'd just changed into her night clothes when she heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

It was Meeka's voice.

"It's Meeka, Jannie and mommy!"

"Come in dear."

The door opened and Meeka ran into the room immediately, jumping into Ava's hands. If it weren't for the support of the bed behind her, she would have lost her balance and fallen down. Boy, was Meeka glad to see her. Tears started flowing down the little girl's face.

"Meeka is sorry Ava, Meeka is so very sorry."

Ava saw from the side of Meeka's head, Suri and Jannie standing near the door.

"Come on in," she welcomed them and offered them a seat on her couch. It was finally nice to have some visitors after so many long periods of silence.

She sat in front of them and placed crying Meeka on her lap.

"Meeka, what happened to me that day wasn't your fault, someone just wanted the lake to hurt me on purpose."

"It was that mean lady who told me you have superpowers. Meeka didn't know you didn't have superpowers, else Meeka would have never told you to take dolly from that lake."

"The mean lady? Superpowers?" Ava looked confusingly in Suri's direction; realizing she didn't know, Suri then told her everything about Lucas's discovery.

"It was Vivian and Ria, the alpha's mistresses, they were the ones who lied to Meeka and made her take you to the forbidden lake, they even dug out the warning sign that was used to keep newcomers away, else you would have known."

Vivian and Ria? But why? What had she done to them? She'd barely even spoken to them before so why did they hate her so much to do such to her?

Meeka saw Ava's troubled face and went on to open her mouth again.

"Don't worry Ava, alpha has taken care of the bad lady, she'll never hurt you or Meeka again."

"Taken care of? I don't understand." Did he kill them?

Suri then stood up, changing the topic in a bid to leave.

"I'm glad you're all right Ava, Meeka is too, come on now Meeka. I think Ava is tired and wants to rest." She honestly would've loved to explain things to Ava herself, but she knew Meeka would surely butt in, and she didn't want Meeka's mouth to put any of them in trouble again. They've had enough for one day and besides, Nani had told them not to remain here for too long.

"Ok, thank you all for visiting me... Meeka, Suri, and you too Jannie," she passed a smile in her direction.

Meeka giggled, "goodbye Ava, we hope to see you at breakfast tomorrow, Meeka has a lot of wolfy jokes to tell you when you come."

Not wanting to miss those wolfy jokes for anything in the world, Ava smiled and said, "of course, I'll be there Meeka."

As soon as Suri and her two girls left, Nani entered the room with another visitor, Kiara.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
