Elder! Age is just a number

Chapter 4

Oliver was preparing the activity stuff for kids when Jason came to him. "Teacher! When will Alaya come?" He asked pouting and Oliver smiled. "Her mother has a day off. So she will be spending time with her mother. You will see your friend tomorrow." 

He nodded and went to his table. Just like this, the day passed again and Edward was there to pick him and Jason up. "Oliver! Let's go. I was waiting for you to finish." He smiled but Oliver looked around attentively. "I need to talk to Alpha first." He said and Edward nodded as he helped Jason inside the car. 

Oliver too sat inside the car and buckled himself in. He kept looking outside the car the whole time. 

Edward kept talking to Jason. But kept stealing glances on Oliver. 

Oliver quickly left when they reached the pack house. He greeted some pack members on his way to Alpha's office. 

He knocked and Adam allowed him to enter. "You are Luna now. No need to knock, Oliver" 

He lowered his eyes. "I want to talk, Alpha," he said. "I am going to use my authority as an Elder" he sighed and looked straight in Alpha's eyes. "I'll be rejecting the nephew of John Simon." He threw the bomb at Adam and Edward who was listening to their conversation. "Oliver! It's not that easy. I am not saying this~''''I have decided and you can't tell me otherwise." Oliver cut his sentence off rudely. "I have had enough of this family and pack of yours." He sighed and continued. "You all were selfish 10 years ago. And now." He paused and looked out of the window that was on the back of Adam's table. "I don't want to be involved with Simons anymore." He said and was about to leave when he spotted Edward. 

The shock in Edward's eyes was evident. "You misunderstood the situation, Elder." Edward said darkly. "I am the Alpha of this pack now." He put a hand on the wall beside Oliver's head. "And the order goes from ALPHA, LUNA and then ELDERS." He hissed. "But obviously, you would have forgotten about it. You aren't habitual of liv~" Edward was pulled back by his collar. " Oliver! You can leave. He won't bother you for now." Adam said and sighs. " Who do you think you are ordering around?" Dane said as he freed himself. He was on the surface so Edward's eyes were sparkling. "Dane! I need to talk. Oliver should go back to rest." Adam said to which Edward's eyes flickered between his and his wolf's eye color. "I need both of you." Oliver, after seeing this rushed outside where Sebastian was waiting for him. "Elder! Let me drop you. It's not safe for you to go alone." He said to which Oliver nodded. "How's your study going?" Oliver asked him gently. 

"It's going well." He replied. 

          ………………………………

"First of all keep your distance from John and his family." Adam said to Edward. Edward just nodded. "And Dane! The things I am going to tell you and your human. You have to think about them rationally." Dane sighed. "You want to protect John?" Dane hissed. "No, I want you to stay away from them." Adam paused. "John was Oliver's first mate." He told Edward. Edward looked at him surprised. "Uncle rejected him?" Adam nods. "It would have been better if he only rejected him." Dane resurfaced. "What do you want to say? Say it clearly."

14 years ago:

An omega entered the blood moon pack territory. Anyone could tell that he was extremely happy by looking at his sparkly eyes. He skipped his way to the beta. "Michael! When will you be free?" He asked as he literally jumped on him. 

"Oliver! Owwooo! Get off of my back~" Michael whined. 

"Let's go meet Harley. She was trying to bake a new cake today." He licked his lips as if he was eating that cake. Michael face palmed at his cousin's idiotic gesture..

"You just have your lunch, Oliver!" He tries to make him feel ashamed. "So what? I still can eat a whole buffet." 

He was about to pester Michael more when his eyes shifted from brown to striking blue. 

He stopped in his tracks at the calming scent. "Mate!" He smiled at the person in front of him who too was enjoying the Omega's scent. 

"Mate!" Michael was looking at the scene with bewilderment. Oliver smiled brightly but a growl from John stopped him in his tracks. Michael watched as John left the place angrily. 

         ………………………………..

Harley was trying to cheer up Oliver who was constantly crying over the behavior of his mate. Michael has gone to talk to Alpha regarding the situation. 

"I will never accept that filthy thing as my mate." John screamed at the top of his lungs. Making Adam look at him with disappointment. "He already is too weak. The rejec.. The rejection will make him die slowly. Alpha! Please!" Michael has never thought that a day will come when he has to listen to these degrading words for his cousin. Oliver may sound childish but he was only 5 when his mother died. 

His father being the proud Alpha abandoned him as he was a disgrace according to him. 

"John! I'll be arranging the Mate ceremony for you two. Rejecting mates is never an option. And for that kind of person too. No! Never!" 

Adam said to which Michael pressed his lips in a thin line. He knew that he shouldn't be begging here for this jerk John to accept his cousin. But he was powerless. Never in his life, he thought that Oliver would be paired with him. 

"Michael! Go and tell the Elders to be prepared for the ceremony." 

John was about to say something but Adam signed for Michael to go out. 

"Brother! Look at your own mate. Sarah is the best of all the Lunas in our neighboring packs. And you want me to be paired with this thing." He said venomously. "First of all, I would never allow that witch to destroy your pairing. Secondly, Omegas are the best choice of Luna. They are a treasure, not some filth." Adam said coldly. 

"You'll regret it." John threatened as he left the office.
