Chapter 442 92 - Elara I sit in the back seat like a child . Walt keeps looking at me over his shoulder with a disgusted look on his face . It feels like when I was in elementary school and told my dad about some boys who were being particularly cruel to me . I wanted to handle it myself , but some of their behavior went too far and my father called them in . They gave me the same look . Ben startles us both when he opens the door a little aggressively , giving us both a hard stare before taking his seat and starting the engine .
Copyright © 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions He says nothing as we pull away from the scene and I watch my two best friends , and my usual shields from the Elders run off with Jason . I would give anything to be running with them than stuck in this truck with an angry Beta and a self absorbed Elder . I am not breaking the tension this silence is brewing in the cab of the SUV . I'm not scared , but I have no idea why Ben wanted Walter in here with us and in the front seat . The drive is only twenty minutes , but it is silent and heavy .
Walter is clearly not going to push any of Ben's buttons ' either , which is out of character for the Elder . We pull up to the garage located on the side of the packhouse , still silent and now I'm starting to get nervous . Ben steps out and holds my door open for me . I try to get him to look at me , to give me a sign of what is going on . Maybe he and Walt have been talking over the mindlink and leaving me out of whatever pissing contest they are having . Ben laces our fingers and leads me around the back of the truck .

My unasked question is answered when he reaches out and grabs Walter by the back of the neck as he tries to scurry into the packhouse . The Elder is strong , but can't match Ben for size and youth . Now Walt and I are both escorted through the house to my office . Walt is unceremoniously sat on the couch and I am placed in a single chair across from him . " I want to know what the f * ck is going on . The Elders here have far too much say in what is going on in the pack and since your father died they are doing very little to help with Pack affairs , considering we are under an attack .
Talk now , and leave nothing out . " Ben looks between the two of us . " I would actually like more details myself . " I give a pointed stare to Walt and cross my arms . When he looks like he isn't going to say anything , I stare him straight in the eyes and smile . It may be childish and I may have thrown a tantrum or twenty about being independent and not needing anyone to fight my battles , but this is one battle I will enjoy watching . Ben never crosses the line when it comes to leading this pack .
He has shown me time and time again , he is a leader , but will defer to me as the Alpha , when it is possible and necessary . " Walter gave me some information that might be prudent to our current situation . Why he felt the need to tell me today instead of months ago when things began to fall apart I don't know . He did however tell me there is more to his explanation and would give me said information when . And I quote , I was done playing host and ready to get back to being a pack leader . " I never take my eyes off of Walter .
" Apparently my pack Elders and my father thought it was prudent to enter into an agreement of some kind that promised me to another male , regardless of my Goddess given mate . " Ben's aura snaps and his chest vibrates with the anger radiating off of him . " I am not sure what male and I have no idea what type of protection we would need that would cost me my mate and my freedom . If I am sold away what does that mean for Black Claw and its pack members ? What does that do to your position as an Elder ? Surely , whoever you bargained with would want to lead in their own way .
" 1/3 " You arrogant little b * tch ! " Walter starts , but gets nothing else out . Ben has him by the throat from behind , pinning his neck to the back of the couch . I was wondering why he sat Walt there and left me to sit by myself . Copyright 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions © " You were planning to do that the whole time , weren't you ? " I laugh through our link . " Now he can't say I was aggressive without cause , He insulted my Alpha , and apparently is a traitor as much as Drake . " " Are you going to kill him , or can we get answers first ? He's turning purple .
" " Fine , but he dies here , today . No trial , not other questions . Bring in Richard and Sebastian if you want ... for witnesses . That might actually be a good idea since both of them have been under suspicion because of some of the Elders actions . " I nod and link the former Beta and the Delta . admin
