My Omega Queen Chapter 29: Hun
POV: Edward
We were all standing there, watching Rachel tread further and further away from the border. Emily’s faint feelings of sadness were slipping through the mate bond, yet her face betrayed none of it. I could also tell that she is rattled and wishes to comfort me. However, both me and Arthur need a bit of time to process what is going on, perhaps even research it. Having a pack member, be it my mate or anyone else, that can withstand my Alpha King orders is unheard of. This could cause a whole other kind of leadership issues if word gets around, creating factions through the pack or simply confusion. Add this on top of the fact that the pack is losing its Gamma today…
Nevertheless, I turned on my heels and we made our way towards the same forest where the ceremony took place, in complete silence. There was tension, but nobody broke it. Arrived there, the pack members had already been informed and summoned by Amanda. Besides the pups, a few adults required to look after them, the elderly and the border patrols, everyone was standing and chattering until our smell came in range, after which they all kneeled and prepared a path for me, Emily and Michael to take our formal places on the stumps.

Accalia even managed to swipe a rabbit before Arthur himself got to it, and she wanted to use this opportunity as a means to start a conversation, but he seemed unmoved and carried on, ignoring her. I could tell she was suppressing her feelings of sorrow. “Arthur and Edward are being such jerks, and for what? We should go and talk some sense into them, maybe that will…” But I don’t get to finish my thought, as I hear a familiar voice mind-linking me: “Hey Em, are you ok? Could we go somewhere to talk?”
