Arielle felt very miserable after what Maria Clara told her but she felt if Brian use wolfbane on her it was probably with reason so yes she was going to let it happen. She was preparing for the manshidano challenge.
Maria Clara notified her about a vision she had about the manshidano challenge, she told her that she saw Treize mutating into a larger kind of wolf than he originally was. Although Arielle could easily defeat him using her lycan form she didn't want to unconsciously use her god powers on him so she asked Jedidiah to investigate.
Jedidiah consulted with his father, since his father was Treize's beta, he was certain he wouldn't tell him anything so he decided to use the only trick that would work on his father...the impulsive child act.
"Afternoon pa" Jedidiah greeted.
"Oh, the omega's best friend finally left his guard job to talk to his old man...how blissful," Joe said teasingly.
Jedidiah rolled his eyes and sat down on the log his father was sitting on, this part of the forest was his's father's favorite spot for hunting that's why he came there. "Yes, father I know you've missed me" Jedidiah mocked.
"Of course, I do but we both know you're not here to hunt with me so speak boy," Joe said.
"Father don't you think Treize has abused his powers enough, I mean our park is now seen as an abusive and monarchial park that takes what does not belong to them and gets away with murder" Jedidiah began.
Joe puckered his eyebrows this kid was going to be the end of him.
"Where is this conversation heading," he asked.
"To the future pa, I want to challenge Treize on the blue moon night, he doesn't deserve to be Alpha anymore" Jedidiah spat bitterly.
Joe immediately covered his son's mouth with his hands.
"What nonsense are you talking boy, I will rather die than let any child of mine die in the hands of Treize" he disputed.
Jedidiah released himself from his father's grip and stood up.
"Why can't I challenge him pa, am man enough and Treize has the guts of a pig he's no match for me, he doesn't even train but I do...I know I can take him" Jedidiah bragged.
Joe forces him back on the log.
"You aren't thinking straight kiddo you are letting your emotions cloud your judgment don't be foolish you are no match for Treize maybe if it was the Treize I knew years ago you could take him but now...now that would be a suicide mission" Joe elucidated to his son.
"No pa am no chicken I will challenge him and that's final" Jedidiah fired back irrefutable.
Joe gave his son a sad smile he reminded him of himself when he was his age, he also wanted to be Alpha only difference is that Treize was his best friend and he taught he would make a better Alpha than him.
Truly this boy is a product of his loins.
"(sighs)you ever wonder what Treize does with all the money he acquires, well i am going to bell you, he bought a huge lab when he saw that the Blue Moon didn't appear six years ago and you, your brother, and a few other youngsters were showing traits of being Alpha males and would challenge him eventually since you boys had not sworn loyalty to him he felt insecure and with the help of some loyal human scientists he began experimenting on omegas...you remember when omegas were getting missing and we said it was bear attack?" Joe asked his kid.
"Of course I remember, I didn't let Arielle venture into the woods" Jedidiah replied swiftly.
"Well, it was Treize kidnapping them and using them for an experiment to enhance strength and growth...many died till he finally succeeds, he killed the perfect omega with a sliver bullet so only him could have the ability...he's stronger than you think, he's a coward but not a fool" Joe explained further
All the while they were speaking Arielle could hear everything word for word because Jedidiah let her into his mind, she was boiling inside Energìa was struggling to come out, Arielle calmed her...
"Patience, he will breath his last on that day" she tries to wheedle her wolf.
"Promise me that you won't challenge him" Joe gripped his son's arms.
"I promise father " Jedidiah substantiated.
"I don't sleep well at night because I was unable to fight Treize, I chose to protect my family, he said he won't kill you all if I collaborated with him, I failed our pack I wish I can give closure to those who lost their loved ones," Joe mumbled he was at the point of tears. Jedidiah stayed with his father, he couldn't leave now.
Meanwhile...
Arielle hand washed one of her panties and drained the water into a bottle, she was going to give it to Brian regardless of the warning she received from the witches, she was going to trust her man blindly because she knew he would make the right decision...After all, visions were like prophecies they change.
she was going to fight for her relationship to work, use the mate bond to draw them closer to one another.
Energìa was in total support of the decision they are Alpha females backing out was not an option.
Arielle was not the Cinderella type she won't lose her mate because of his past, she was going to create a better future for them....and this was what she promised herself.
