The others added there's too.

Head Sentinel Rodarh was left with his mouth gaping wide open.

CHAPTER 28. A JOKE OR FATE?

Head Sentinel Rodarh was left with his mouth gaping wide open.

"If you're done making bad decisions, you can sit down now, Rodarh, while the rest of us think rationally about how to retrieve the ring," Ratinus added, the rat alpha still shook his head in sheer disappointment.

The others nodded.

Head Sentinel Rodarh lowered himself back to his seat, managed to get himself together again, and glared at all of them. "Traitors, all of you."

"Now, don't let yourself get...too angry again, Rodarh." Alpha Morose drawled, his snake-like forked tongue sliding out in barely-disguised amusement, "We all know what happens when you get angry."

Head Sentinel Rodarh gave him a killing glare.

"Well, the good news is that his mate can always drag him out of his bad moods." Alpha Degar couldn't help himself.

"Keep my Aniliny out of this." The elephant Changeling grumbled angrily.

Alpha Alphose joined, "Poor Aniliny, always having to deal with his grumpy self. I wonder how she'll feel if she gets to know that you made the decision to kill a Mate." Tsk tsk tsk, "I bet she will pout at you the whole day."

Rodarh's cheeks turned dark shades of red because the cougar Alpha is right. "Y'all behave like you weren't thinking of making a meal outta her too. Traitors, all of you. Bet your mates will feel so proud."

The mated ones cleared their throat guiltily, while the unmated ones lifted their chins proudly, "We've got no mates yet."

"Ladies, ladies, let us all get back to business alright?" Alpha Zane finally added, his lips curved in amusement.

All of them turned and glared at him.

"You are the only lady here, Jaguar." Ratinus shot back.

Alpha Zane chuckled. It didn't take long before the rest chuckled too, diffusing the thick tension in the air from the Alpha King's reaction to their mistakes. All of them were smiling except for Adanel and Wolfariane who watched the rest quietly, observingly, without a word.

With the tension diffused, they turned toward their Alpha King.

"Congratulations on finding your mate, Alpha King." Alpha Asisy said joyously.

"Congratulations, your highness." Alpha Morose.

"Wow, I can't believe you've found her. Congratulations." Alpha Zane.

"I'm so happy for you, Alpha King. Finding your mate is a good thing." Head Sentinel Rodarh.

The rest of the congratulations followed until everybody have pitched a word or two about it.

They were all happy, and it was sincere.

For changelings finding a mate is a very joyous happening because you have just one woman out there that belongs to you. One woman out there that is compatible with you.

Some of them grow insane searching for their other halves, while some have grown old filled with sadness, unable to find that woman.

"Congratulations, Alpha King." Adanel added him too. "A mate is a good thing."

"What do you know about that, Adanel? You are clearly unmated." Alpha Morose snorted.

"Well, when do we get to meet your mate? I am in full anticipation already." Ratinus referred to the Alpha King, rubbing his hands eagerly.
