Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One-Chapter 69: Leverage

"Oh! Are you threatening me?" I asked as I looked straight at the man who had just spoken.

His face blunched in shock as he looked at me as if I was some ghost that came from the underworld.

The others standing around and watching the show also seemed surprised.

Maybe it was because I never used to talk back to anyone even when I was falsely accused of something or tortured.

They were used to me remaining silent and taking their insults and beatings.

Well, not anymore.

"Take it however you want, but stop turning our mates against us, or else, you will face the consequences." The man said again after coming back to his senses.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that. Your mate just wants to feel like a person again and not some puppet that can be manipulated at will. Or just a pup factory that is expected to give birth to your pups as a duty. Yes, it is the duty of your mates to have pups for you and expand the pack’s bloodline. However, that is not their entire purpose. Their lives should not be put on hold or end when they become your mates. The moon goddess created the mate bond and gave each person a partner not a slave. Your female mates are equal to you men as well. So, why can you live the life you desire while she becomes your backdrop?" I was so angry at the way that man threatened me that I said things I hadn’t planned to.

He was ruining my mood so early in the morning when I had clearly woken up feeling energetic to go for training.

"She is my mate, and I will treat her however I want. Since she married into our pack, she has to follow our traditions. She is just a woman and should stay at home and give birth and take care of the house. Why are you putting ideas in her head about becoming a warrior again?" The man asked angrily.

In fact, I could see that he was getting aggressive and if I wasn’t careful, he might end up hurting me.

But I also knew that if I got intimidated today and backed down, then all those plans I had would go down the drain.

I need power within the pack to do the things I desire and I have already started influencing people and getting support.

If I backed down today because I was afraid of getting hurt, then I could forget about gaining any footing here.

"So, to you, your mate is nothing more than an accessory. An object that doesn’t have the autonomy of doing what they want. Since they married you, they should just become insignificant? Is that what the moon goddess meant when he paired you? As fated mates, you are supposed to strengthen each other and compliment each other not crash your partner to make yourself feel greater. If you need to put your mate down to feel taller or stronger, then you are a weakling. In fact, you are even weaker than your mate."

I went all out today. I wasn’t going to let a man who was ruled by his ego undo what I had done.

Those women were my weapon and there was no way I was dropping it and remaining unarmed.

"You are asking for death." The man breathed violently as he strode towards me aggressively and I didn’t have any doubt that I was about to get hurt.

But I didn’t back down. And I wasn’t afraid of being hit. In fact, I wanted him to take action. I wanted him to beat me and if possible injure me enough to send me to the hospital.

I am not a masochist who gains pleasure from pain. No, but I wanted leverage. Leverage over these men who think they could step on women to boast their ego.

If this man touched me today, no matter what my relationship with Mike is. No matter how bad it is, I am still his publicly acknowledged mate and the Luna of the pack.

Regardless of whether I have power or not, I am a figure of authority and if he touched me, he would be touching that authority, not me as a person.

Hitting me would be equivalent to hitting Mike because as his mate, only he has the right to touch me. And since I started interacting with power a month ago, I had come to realize one thing, Night claw pack cares more about its reputation than the people.

If something threatens the standing of the pack or their interests, it will be eliminated. If someone undermined the authority of the superiors, they would be severely punished.

I am Mike’s mate and Alpha Demon personally bestowed the position of Luna to me regardless of what Mike said or what others thought.

Others may believe that it was to fulfill the meaning of the moon goddess pairing us as mates. However, I know that he has an ulterior motive.

I don’t know what it is, but it is there and he needs me close to Mike. Probably to monitor me or for something else.

Another very significant reason was because the public already knew I am the alpha’s mate and if I remained a slave and other packs found out, the Night claw pack would be disgraced and Alpha Demon would never allow a stain on his pack.

This also meant that if a pack member laid their hands on their Luna and other packs found out, the leadership of the pack would be seen as weak where other members could run wild and beat up their superiors without consequence.

Because no one would care whether I used to be a slave. All they know now is that I am the mate of the alpha, yet the alpha is so weak that he could not protect his mate.

That is a reputation not only Demon, but Mike, being so proud would never allow.

So, I was counting on this brute to give me leverage not only on him and other men who suppressed their mates, but also on the pack leadership.

Since I was going to fall out with the pack in the end, I needed a weapon I could use to protect myself and Boris, that is the name of the guy challenging me, was about to hand me that weapon on a silver platter.

Boris reached me in a second and raised his hand to strike me across the face, but at that moment,

"What do you think you are doing?"
