Chapter 0240
“Has this happened before?” Theolderone looks at the younger one. Then they turn and nod at me.
“Where are your parents?”
“Our parents are dead. We’re orphans.”
“Who watches over you?”
They point to Henry. That ends today.
I stand and walk back to Angel. I rub my nose against her ear. “What do you think is a fitting punishment for Henry?”
She turns and looks at me, shocked at my question. “You are the future Luna of this pack and you caught him in the act.”
It doesn’t escape my notice that Henry flinched when I said she was the future Luna. Did he really not know? She’s wearing my mark for goddess’s sake.
“What is the normal punishment for abusing pack mates, especially underage pack members that are in your care?” She asks me.
“Typically, removal of any status the person may have. In this instance, he would lose his Lead Omega title and become a standard Omega. He would also normally be given between two to four weeks in the cells.”
“And what is the punishment for calling his future Luna a rogue whore?” She asks and I hear Dustin suck in a breath.
My response is instantaneous. I have him by his neck and have lifted him off the ground. “Disrespecting my Luna is punishable by death or banishment.”
“That seems too easy.” Angel says. “I definitely think he deserves to be demoted and spend some time in the cells.” She turns to the girls and squats down in front of them. “What’s the worst job in the packhouse?” She asks them with a smile. An evil grin spreads across my face as I realize what my mate plans to do.
The girls look at each other. “Cleaning the bathrooms.” They say in unison. “Excellent.” She says and turns back tous. “He will be permanently assigned to bathroom duty.”
“You heard your Luna. When you get out of the cells, you will begin your new assignment.” I release him and he scrambles away from me. Dustin comes up, taking his arm to lead him to the cells. I realize there is still a room full of pack

members watching the interaction.
“Back to work people, nothing to see here.” I turn to my Beta. “Dustin, who do we have that can take in the girls?”
“I’lltake them Alpha.” A small woman walks toward me, her eyes on the girls.
“Samantha?” I ask her.
She turns to look at me. “You know my husband and I have been unable to have pups of our own. I’d be happy to take them in and care for them, and I know my mate would as well.”
I walk back to the girls, crouching down in front of them again. “Would you like to go live with Samantha and her mate?”
They look at Samantha then backtome and nod. I help them to stand, but don’t let go of their hands. “What are your names?” I don’t know the names of all the pups, but I won’t forget these two after today.
“I’m Charlotte.” The older one says, “and this is my sister Amelia.”
“Charlotte and Amelia. From now on, if you have questions or concerns, you can always come to me, to Angel,” I point to Dustin, “to your Beta. Anyone of us will
you that you
make time to listen to your concerns. Don’t everletanyone tell
can’t. Okay?”
“Yes Alpha,” they both say, before walking to Samantha.
“Take them home and get them settled, we’ll find someone else to cover mealtimes today.” I say to Samantha and look at Dustin who is already mind linking to get Omegas in to finish breakfast before taking Henry to the cells.
Before they leave, the girls run over and hug Angel. “Thank you, Luna.” They say before running back to Samantha. I nod and they leave.
I pull Angel into a hug of my own. “That was quite a show of power, little Guardian. Perhaps next time you want to make a point, you can tone it down a bit. You can control the room without causing the pain that you did. I don’t want the pack to be afraid of you Angel.”
“I lost it a bit. I thought maybe this was something that was allowed in the pack and Alessia and I couldn’t stand for that.”
“It’s not allowed and I’m glad we’re on the same page.” I lean in, kissing her. ” Someday soon, you’re going to have to show me how you directed your aura around those two girls. I’ve never seen that before. You really are amazing. Come on. Let’s finish gathering what we need so we can head out. It’s about an hour
drive to the city.”
