Scott also felt the same way, and it confused him. Why am I having a strange attraction towards a stranger and a werewolf rogue to be precise? He questioned himself thoughtfully. It was puzzling for the Alpha, and he looked over to his Luna but noticed Emilia's gaze was sort of odd.
Is she also feeling that way? Scott inquired himself inwardly, then shifted his face to Lexa.
Lexa's gaze was now on the ground, so she didn't see how the Luna and the Alpha were staring at her in a peculiar manner. Her mind was on another thing entirely, and she dreaded for the worst. She wanted to leave this place, as she was feeling too uneasy.
The others said nothing, and only awaited what Scott and Emilia were going to say. Though, the Beta observed the weird gaze of Scott and Emilia, but he wasn't sure.
Scott managed to put himself together and cleared his throat,
" What is your name young girl?"
His question had everyone present to widened their eyes, cause they all knew Scott as a brutal Alpha, who doesn't tolerate any rogue.
" Lexa."
Lexa was confused on why the burly man in front her, questioned her but nonetheless, she answered him shakily. There was no need to put on a brave face anymore, she told herself.
The Luna subconsciously smiled, as she heard Lexa saying her name, and her heart softened. Before Scott could open his mouth to say anything, she whispered quietly to his ears, which Scott nodded in agreement.
" Please, give us some minutes, " The Alpha stood up together with his Luna, and they both sauntered to a quiet place in the house
Emilia dragged Scott by his left hand and seeing they were all alone now, she faced him, " What will you do to that girl?"
She was nervous, but she patiently waited for what Scott will say.
" I don't know, but you know the law of course," Scott stared at his mate and shrugged his shoulders but on a closer look, he was also contemplating on what to really do concerning Lexa.
Emilia shook her head, and she pressed her lips together. She wanted to tell Scott how she felt about Lexa but didn't know how to explain herself. It was sincerely strange, but she believed what she was feeling.
" Did you felt an attraction towards her?"
The Luna heard her mate's alluring voice and closed her eyes while nodding meekly.
" I don't know how to say this, but I felt something, like a bond. It real and alive, like........it's really confusing, " she gestured her hands together as she moved her lips, trying to express what she felt.
Scott sighed, " I get it, and honestly I felt the same thing, but what could that be?"
He couldn't decipher what was going on, and it made him got worried.
" Exactly! We need to find that out, but that would means you won't pass an order to execute her,"
Emilia snapped her fingers and held her mate's right arm while maintaining eye contact with him.
The Alpha was surprised at how the feeling really affected his Luna, but what she said just now would be somewhat hard as others were going to oppose it.
" You know it might not work right?"
He could see Emilia was displeased, and she turned around to rub the crown of her head with her right fingers.
" Don't forget you are the Alpha and still superior to the others."
" Yes, but that doesn't mean I have to break my law anyhow, "
Though, Scott didn't have it in his mind to execute Lexa but at the same time, it would be unwise to not follow his law, as he was a man that loved sticking to his words.
" You are the law yourself, and no one is telling you to break your law. Just don't execute her.
We can take her as a maid or slave or anything but don't execute her, " Emilia tried to make him understand, and she was really anxious right now, but her body calmed a bit when she saw how his face lit up.
" You are right. I think, that will be alright, " he coincided with her, and they finally made their decision.

The Beta, Gamma, Elders, and the two werewolves, who brought Lexa into the community, all wondered about what was happening, as the Alpha wasn't supposed to take a long time before he passes the order for a rogue to be executed.
The young teen kneeling on the floor was unaware of anything and strangely, she wasn't starving badly anymore.
Lexa's knees were starting to hurt, and she couldn't stop cursing Camela and the short man, who implicated her. Because of them, she was in this fucking mess, and it angered her deeply. This was all their fault! She clenched her fists subtly, so no one would notice her.
Some steps could be heard and soon, Scott and Emilia appeared. They moved to their seats, with their eyes staring at the other werewolves in the meeting room.
" I have decided to spare this young lady, but she will have to work as a slave for me and the Luna, "
The Alpha coughed lightly to ease the weird atmosphere, but the shocked expressions of the werewolves present in the meeting room didn't escape his sharp eyes.
" Is there any problem?"
He gazed at them calmly.
Lexa frowned at what Scott said, especially the slave word, but she was happy to know no harm would be done to her.
A slave?! She lifted her face up and gave Scott an unbelievable look.
Are you fucking kidding me?! She screamed in her head and shook her head negatively.
Emilia only smiled at Lexa's outburst, but Scott ignored her and continued to stare at the others.
Since no one said anything, he stood up and turned his back, taking long steps away from the meeting room.
The Luna also stood up and smiled gently at them, before taking her leave.

Crescent Moon pack community,
Some deep lines could be seen on Arnold's forehead, and obviously he wasn't in the proper mood. He was tired and felt like giving up on his search for his mate. He had looked almost every packs but didn't find what he was searching for.
Am I not destined for a mate?
No, that's impossible! He assured himself and shook the negative thought away.
" Urghhh!"
Arnold groaned loudly, as he slumped heavily on the red couch in the Alpha's house. His hazel eyes lazily looked around his father's house, trying to see maybe his father, the Alpha, was around.
" What's up with you?"
A man looking agile and handsome, walked in to where Arnold was. He appeared a little bit young, but he was already in his fifties. The man was none other than Adolf, the Alpha of the crescent moon pack, and also the father of Arnold.
