Chapter 170
“What trouble you?” Hunter asked, he watched how Lilac didn’t really enjoy her meal. “Do you want to eat something else?” This pack was Lilac’s former pack, Hunter was not sure what she felt about stayed here for a little bit longer. “Something is bothering you in the
orphanage?”
Hunter stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek. She looked so beautiful and a little bit chubbier due to her pregnancy, but he really liked it, because Lilac used to be very skinny and pale when she arrived at his pack in the beginning.
“Nothing.” Lilac had told him about her encounter with Aria and in fact, it didn’t really bother her. She didn’t feel sad for the loss of years friendship. But, there was indeed something else that she kept thinking about.
“You know that you can tell me anything,” Hunter said softly, he leaned over and kissed her forehead tenderly. He loved to see her, but the troubled look on her face really didn’t sit well
with him.
Hunter gave her time to process and he was right, because in the end, Lilac couldn’t help, but voice out her concern.
“Hunter… can you please stop?”
Hunter stared at her for a while and then immediately knew what she was talking about. “Love, no matter what I did, this pack will meet its demise sooner or later.” Hunter had predicted everything.
If this pack would be fallen in the end, he only wanted to get a benefit from it, but more importantly, he wanted those people, who had hurt his mate to be in pain, he wanted them. to suffer. That was his main reason, while he gathered more benefit from it.
“There will be no war or blood that will be spilled. You don’t need to worry about that.” Hunter was thinking the cruelest way possible, but knowing his mate, Lilac wouldn’t agree with his action, thus he changed his plan accordingly.
“What do you mean?” Lilac frowned. She didn’t understand, but Hunter simply chuckled and stood up.
“Come I will show you something interesting.” He stretched out his hand for her to take. “I am not sure whether this will make you feel better or not, but I hope this will soothe your disappointment and misery.”
“What is it?” Lilac took his hand and followed him out, where Hunter took her to alpha James’s study room and witnessed everything from the distance. “What is happening?”
Right before her eyes, alpha James and luna Jasmine engaged in a heated argument, while Ruby was sitting on the floor, looked miserable and pitiful, as the other pack member stared at the whole situation with a mixed feeling and expression.

That was when Lilac witnessed the thing that she thought alpha James would never capable of doing.
The second harsh slap landed on luna Jasmine’s cheek again and this effectively shut her up, where she was trembling in fear, because the look on alpha James was very terrifying. He stared at her with
so much hatred, as if he was looking at his sworn enemy, instead of his
mate.
Even the people around them lowered their head, afraid they would breathe too hard and make the situation worst. They intertwined their fingers and tried not to make a peep.
Meanwhile, Ruby was at lost too, because she didn’t think the situation would escalate this fast, but deep down, she felt this happiness that spread in her veins, where she could feel her heart was beating so fast to see how distraught and humiliated luna Jasmine was. This was something that she wanted for her.
This luna should know the feeling
what Ruby felt during her life being humiliated and even though this couldn’t cover
under her tutelage and what kind of hell she received from the
mother and son, this was enough to soothe her pain.
However, on the surface, she didn’t show it. She lowered her head in fear like everyone else here.
“Go back to your room and stay with your son,” alpha James talked to Ruby, his voice was not as harsh as when he talked to luna Jasmine, but it was very stern and he looked very impatient.
Ruby immediately left the scene, which made the situation became even more awkward for luna Jasmine, who was still sitting on the floor, her eyes widened and she looked like she was going to cry her heart out or scream on the top of her lungs.
But, before she could do any of that, alpha James had left her there, he walked back to his study room. He had a lot on his plate, he didn’t need any additional headache that could – waste his time.
ream.
And once the alpha left luna Jasmine there, she started to She lashed out on everyone there, who still stared at her, scared them away.
“Wh- what do you mean with this?” Lilac asked, she looked at Hunter with confusion, as her mate took her away from the commotion. “You are the one, who caused this?”
“Yes, and no.”
Lilac frowned. She couldn’t understand with that ambiguous reply. “What do you mean with that?”
“I only said the right thing to the right people, giving them a suggestion of what they should do.” Hunter shrugged his shoulder. “Thankfully, they are smart enough to understand that.”

“You don’t have to.” Hunter took her hand and kissed her forehead. “I promise you there will be no war.”
“But, you are going to destroy this pack.” Lilac didn’t know the extent of Hunter’s hatred toward this pack and his desire to destroy this place, especially after Aiden’s attempt to get his mate back.
“Yes and you can’t make me change my mind.” Hunter kissed her lips before she could protest and pressed her body against the wall. Thankfully, there was no one in this corridor.
Meanwhile, miles away, Aiden was facing the most difficult choice in his life…
