Reborn: I am no longer the Weak Luna

Cassian's POV

My second Gamma Roman slammed the door open. Every head turned.

My First Gamma Rowan pushed my wheel chair in slowly, my gaze fixed on one person. Elena!

She was pale and looked weak.

But alive! She looked at me, and I saw relief in her eyes.

A breath she had been holding finally released.

She really was waiting for me? I said to myself.

I moved forward, my presence swallowing the room.

"I haven't seen a nephew trying to marry his uncle's mate," I said coldly.

Silence fell in the room,

Then...Elena straightened slightly.

Clever girl! She turned to her mother, voice soft but clear.

"Mother... I don't see anything wrong with marrying my brother..."

She paused and sobbed to everyone's hearing.

Then she added..."But I am Uncle Cassian's mate."

The room shifted. Shock, Murmurs and Disbelief from everyone seated.

I added. "It isn't right for a nephew to steal his uncle's mate."

My lips almost curved with a smile, I was forcing myself not to laugh at Elena's fake acting and crying.

"Y..you..!" Catherine pointed at her, face twisting in anger.

Elena stepped closer and gently held her hand.

"Mother," she said calmly, "I know you want the best for me and brother...."

Her grip tightened slightly. "But he has to respect seniority in the family. It's the family tradition to respect our elders' decisions, right? "

A ripple of agreement spread among some of the elders.

I finally moved beside her and held her hand. We were close enough for them all to see.

"Is this true?" one elder asked me cautiously. "Cassian... She is your mate?"

I didn't hesitate. "Yes."

The word dropped like a stone. Catherine's face went pale.

"That's impossible!" she snapped. "She was already promised to..."

"To whom?" I cut in sharply.

My eyes shifted to My Elder sister Lydia. She stood up. "Now that my Junior Brother Cassian got his mate. We all know he spent 30 years without a mate. Shouldn't we forget about the love letter and talk about my brother taking the Alpha king position. You all said he has no mate so he CAN'T be the Alpha King."

Dominic rushed in, he was actually hiding behind the door all along. He wanted to watch the outcome of their fake love letter.

He cut in. " Elders, you all said I would be the next Alpha since Uncle Cassian has no mate nor offspring.."

His mum rushed him, giving him signs to shut up.

He stood stiff, jaw clenched. "Mother, let me say it. I deserve the Alpha seat. Uncle Cassian has no mate. You all promised me the seat!!"

I tilted my head slightly. "You are being so delusional Dominic. How can someone like you be the Alpha? Do you have any special skills? The only thing special here is that Elena goes to the Alpha Kings Academy!!. Who are you Dominic?" I turned to my second Gamma Roman. "Slap him if he talks again!!"

He turned and held Elena's hands. "That's why I have to marry Elena. Uncle, I have to marry Elena. Let her go for my sake. You can always find a different mate." He said and my Gamma Roman slapped him and he fell to the ground.

His mum rushed to him. "Are you okay Dominic." she turned to me angrily. "What are you doing Cassian? He is still a child. You don't have to be so harsh!!"

Lydia walked to them. "Catherine, aren't you ashamed? Just look at your son's behavior. Who in here will let a reckless boy be the Alpha. How is this old man ready to impregnate a wolf? A child?"

Dominic stood up and dragged Elena's hand. "Elena, tell Uncle Cassia that you love me. Only you have the right here to reject him."

I signalled my gamma Roman, and he gagged his mouth, dragging him out.

As he was being dragged out his new sister was coming in. She had two maids coming in with her with shopping bags.

She stopped in her tracks.."What is going on here?" She didn't greet anyone or look at their faces. "Mother, why is Elena here? I thought you said you would lock her up for a week, without food. Why is she still here?"

The air grew heavier. No one dared to speak. They only stared at each other. They must be wondering why my Elder brother has useless children.

Her mum pulled her to the side. "This is my daughter from the countryside. She loves talking nonsense. Please don't blame her or believe her." she said, smiling nervously.

She pulled away from her. "Mum but we agreed to lock her up for weeks. Why is she walking freely..." Catherine used her hands to cover her mouth, but she pushed her away.

Lilliana's eyes met mine. She pointed at me. "Mum, why is this cripple man here? He is the reason the school suspended me. He..."

My Gamma Roman didn't waste time, he kicked her with force. She fell to the ground and fainted. He touched her nostril. He turned to me. "She has passed out, not dead yet."

Catherine rushed to her and signalled their maid to carry her. She stared at me, her anger boiling, then turned to Elena.

"Elena, help the maid to take your sister inside." she said, giving her eyes signs to leave.

Elena was clearly uncomfortable by the signs. She knew she must be up to no good.

I pulled Elena slightly behind me.A silent claim and A warning to her.

"From today," I said, voice calm but absolute, "Elena belongs to me."

Everyone pause.Then I added, my eyes darkened.."Anyone who disagrees... can challenge me. I don't want to see even a slightest mark on her neck or her hand. Anybody who disobeys wants Cassian WolfHart to be their enemy." I said with Authority, my eyes shining blue as I dropped the command.

All the Elders in the hall were frightened. Of course no one dared to cross me, because all others that tried, they all died the next morning without a death cause.

"Push me out." I said to Elena. Rowan left my wheelchair and Elena held it. She held my hand and used the other to push me slowly till we were out. She wanted us to look in love. I knew she was using me to have authority in the house

We got outside and I let go of her hands like it was dirty. She smiled sweetly.

"Elena, I don't keep women that have no values. And my Luna will have to be the most powerful woman that left the Alpha Kings Academy."

She bent to my level on the wheelchair and smiled sweetly. Her smiles sent shivers to my wolf. He was trying to come out and devour her. But I pushed her off my lap. "Talk and don't touch!!" I warned.

She said, "I Love You Uncle Cassian. I will do anything for you." Her words were sweet but it showed no love in her eyes.

I scoff, shaking my head. Does she really think I am easy to deceive? "In your Love letter for me. Are you really sure it's for me?"

She shifted backward, smiling nervously. "Y..y..yes. ..of course." she lied, her eyes blinking continuously.

She had no idea I knew when she lied.

"But in your Love letter you said. And I quote.."Your silver hair makes my heart flutter. I want to cut them and put them in my bag. So I can...." I stopped and stared at her forehead, already sweating. She must be trying to disappear into thin air.

"Elena, all my life I have jet black hair. Who is the silver-haired man?"
