Chapter 787

Chapter 132: Bonus Story–The Wedding Gift-Part 2

Whipping in the direction of the sound, I saw a family silhouette approaching us.

“Thomas!” I gasped.

He was standing near the back. In his hand was a dagger with a shimmering blade and jewels in the handle. He held it over his head so that everyone would see clearly.

The design of the knife was elegant and distinct, and even for those who hadn’t seen it before, there was no doubt that the dagger was a powerful Goddess artifact!

Immediately, I thought of the last part of the artifact that Miss Mila had been trying to gather—the missing dagger.

“The Dagger of Mercy!” Thomas announced, and everyone turned their attention from me to him. It was so quiet that I could hear a pin drop.

I couldn’t believe that Thomas, after disappearing for months, suddenly showed up at my wedding, helping me out with the most difficult problem that I was facing. I had a million questions to ask him, but right now, in front of the crowd, I had to keep my composure.

My bride felt my internal turmoil and she gently squeezed my hand, and I squeezed her back.

Thomas walked toward me and Piper, bowed his head and held the dagger out to us.

“Here I present Pomeni’s Goddess artifact, the Dagger of Mercy!” he claimed, “May the Goddess’s mercy be upon us and the newlywed couple. May her blessing be with the Alpha and Luna of Pomeni!”

I nodded to Thomas, but I didn’t take it over, for I knew that it didn’t belong to me. The dagger’s real owner was Miss Mila and I would not take it from her!

As long as other packs believed what Thomas said and believed that Pomeni had an artifact, that was all I needed. Thomas had put on a good enough show and I appreciated that he came with the artifact to help me with my dilemma, but I couldn’t take advantage of Miss Mila’s belongings.

Furthermore, normally, artifacts could only be used by the Alpha blood of the pack. While I was made an alpha by the Dark King, I wasn’t sure whether I could use the dagger even if I tried.

Therefore, I left the artifact untouched.

Alpha Gael stared at me, his eyes narrowed, seemingly displeased with what was happening. Suddenly, he burst into laughter and drew all the attention from the crowd again.

“How ridiculous! As an Alpha, you don’t have the guts to admit that your pack doesn’t own an artifact, not only so, you borrowed one to try to trick us! That’s despicable and such a disgrace to the Goddess!”

I narrowed my eyes. “Alpha Gael, you continuously tried to interrupt my wedding and have gone too far. Pomeni pack doesn’t welcome you any more. Guards, escort Alpha Gael out of the border of our pack!”

“You’re afraid!” he exclaimed.

Before I snapped back, Thomas turned to face Gael, his tone icy cold. “It’s Alpha Payne’s big day and yet it seems that your only goal here is to cause disruption. It’s so easy to accuse someone without consequence, isn’t it? How about this, if Alpha Payne can prove he’s the rightful owner of the artifact, you agree to take five punches from me?”

Alpha Gael’s face fell. He argued back, “Why do I have to agree to your stupid terms?”

“Because if you don’t, you’ll end up getting fifty from me before you leave the packland today. I guarantee you’re not going to like it!” Thomas said, and then he let out a long howl, “Awhooo—!”

His roar carried formidable force, and all the Alphas present, including me, felt its overwhelming oppression. Xavier, who was also a Beta, could barely maintain his stance.

The entire hilltop was dead silent. It was obvious that no one wanted to be Thomas’ enemy.

Thomas relaxed and pulled up an apologetic smile. “Please excuse my loud noise,” he grinned as he held the dagger up to me again. I could read his lips. “Take it,” he said.

Everyone was watching and I really didn’t have a choice. However, his encouraging gaze assured me that everything would work out just fine.

I took a deep breath and reached out to the Dagger of Mercy. My eyes widened as soon as it started to glow upon my touch!

What happened to the dagger? Why did it recognize me and accept me as its master?!
