“Change the law?” He questioned.
“Yes, why shouldn’t there be any female alphas?” I challenged him.
“Females are there for their males. They do not run packs. They are not as strong as the male alpha. And what will happen when they are with child? They can’t protect a pack or themselves.” He spoke, and I heard lan and Mason stand up behind us.
I turned to Ava, and she nodded, pulling her blouse collar to the side, exposing her new mark. Cutting my finger tip with my nail, I drew a protection symbol over her mark. My body glowed purple before I forced my magic into Ava. I probably shouldn’t have done this, and I didn’t tell my mates this was what I was planning. It had only been a few weeks since l used my magic at the Fae kingdom, and I was still feeling weak, but this had to be done. And this way, Ava will always be protected, even when she’s pregnant and can’t shift.
Once the purple glow was gone, I felt exhausted, but there was no way I would show any weakness in front of those men. I turned back to face the council and Freya decided at that moment to change me into the white dress. Everyone gasped when the blue light faded and I was now standing before them, looking like a goddess.
“Beautiful,” Ava whispered.
“Now, I challenge any of you to come down here and try to hurt Alpha Ava.” I demanded.
“What the hell did you do?” One councilman yelled out.
“It was a protection spell. No one will hurt her, and it will protect her while being pregnant. It really disappoints me you view pregnancy as a weakness. As I know that none of you have ever had to go through it, your opinion about it should be void.” I told them.
“Prince Mason, is this some kind of joke?” The middle one yelled out just as King Arthur entered the room. That man definitely knew how to make a dramatic entrance.
“I’m not sure why you would call on my mate. All of you must have known my father, James Knight.” I told them as Arthur came over to stand with me and Ava.
“This is something that James would have wanted and I stand by our Queen,” Arthur announced. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me to his side.
“Hello, my dear.” He said, k!ssing my temple. I smiled, knowing I had two wonderful fathers-in-law.
“My king, this has to be a joke. Women are not alphas.” The councilman told our king and all the others nodded, agreeing with this statement.
“I’ve seen none of you take on vampires by yourselves or dragons. Most of you haven’t even left the safety of this pack. So how the hell would any of you know what a woman can handle? This young lady birthed my grandson, the future heir to this kingdom, by herself across enemy lines. While saving the Fae princess. And you are telling all of us she is not worthy of being called an alpha. That no woman is worthy of being called alpha?” He told them and I was so proud of him.
“We are not here to discuss what we have or haven’t done.” The middle one said, annoyed.
“No, we are here to discuss your opinions about women. Mated? Children?” I asked him.
“And they have nothing to do with any of this,” he growled out.
“But they do. If someone tried to tell your mate that she wasn’t good enough or even your daughter, you would defend them, would you not? There are laws protecting your daughter’s mate against abuse. So, it’s okay for her mate to hit or beat her and it’s okay for you to do that to your mate?” I asked him and he huffed.
“Would you not be proud of your daughter becoming a part of the council? Or is that only a man’s job as well?
“I asked him. And he said nothing.
“It says here that the two packs that want to merge have neutral land between them. Is that correct?” Another asked, changing the subject.
“That’s correct, but I have purchased the land and I’m just waiting for the paperwork to be completed. I will donate that land to both packs.” I told them.
“And what do you get out of this?” Another one asked me.
“I get the satisfaction of proving all of you wrong. Alpha Ava will be one of the best alphas we’ve ever seen. And if proving that meant spending a little money, then it was well spent.” I answered him.
“Over a million dollars?” The same one asked, and I nodded.
“And this spell will protect her, but what about other female alphas?” Another one asked.
“I’ll put protection spells on all of them.” l said.
“And what happens if these females go rogue and we can’t take care of them?” The middle one asked.
“Then I’ll remove the spell. “I’ll take care of the matter. All you have to do is sign that piece of paper to remove the law.” I told them and he huffed.
“Why are you working so hard to change our laws when you’re not even a wolf anymore?” He asked me.
“So you only care about male wolves?” I asked him.
“I didn’t say that.” He growled.
“But you did. You are disregarding Ashlyn because she is female and when that doesn’t work, you try to push the blame onto something else. And I, for one, think that a council election should be soon.” King Arthur told him.
“How many of you have daughters?” I asked them.
Eight members, including the one in the middle, raised a hand.
“And how would you feel if someone disrespected her for fighting for something that she believed was right? We aren’t asking for you to sign something that would take away rights from males, we are just asking for equal rights. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.” I told them.
“We will be back after deliberation.” The middle one announced before leaving the room. The others followed, and I felt like ! could breathe again.
“That was amazing.” Ava exclaimed, hugging me.
“This isn’t over yet,” I told her. Mason and lan stood up from their seats and came over to us.
“James would be so proud of you,” Arthur said, giving me a side hug.
“I have to run, but we will talk more over dinner. We still need to plan your coronation.” Arthur told him, k!ssing ny temple. After saying goodbye to his son, Arthur left, and Mason wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
“Baby, you shouldn’t have used your magic.” He mumbled against my neck before planting a gentle k!ss.
“I’m fine Mason. Besides, I had to prove a point.” I told him and he sighed.
“Ashlyn, what’s wrong?” lan asked me, concerned.
“Nothing. Mason is just worried that I used to much magic, but I’m fine.” I told him.
“Ashlyn, are you sure?” Ava asked me and now she was c oncerned
“I’m okay, Ava. The more magic luse, the easier it is. And besides, now you can really kick lan’s a*ss when he gets out of line.” I told her with a chuckle.
“Now you have to be nice!” She laughed, looking at lan.
“I’m the nicest fvcken person,” he huffed, and we all started laughing.
“Awe, it’s okay lan, we all love you, even if you are a jerk,” I told him.
“I’m not the one telling you to take it easy.” He smirked.
“Hey, jacka*ss, I also have a protection spell on me,” Mason exclaimed, and lan cursed.
“Really, Ashlyn?” He huffed.
“Oh, I’ll get to you, you big baby.” I told him, and he pouted.
“Ashlyn, has lan ever been with a blonde?” Ava suddenly asked me. I looked at lan and then back at Ava.
“Not before me. Why?” I asked.
“She doesn’t believe me that the blonde in my phone is you.” lan sighed, and I started laughing.
“What’s so funny?” Ava asked me, confused.
“That was Halloween.” I breathed out, trying to catch my breath.
“What the hell were you dressed as for Halloween?” Mason asked me.
“Why were you in a bikini?” Ava asked, and Mason’s chest rumbled into my back.
“lan, I can’t believe you still have those.” I exclaimed.
