“The councilmen are here. I had them sit in the lounge so maybe go change in to something appropriate and meet me down there with them?” X says and I look at him confused.
“What do they want?” I ask in a whisper tone as if they were in the room.
“Beats me but they would like to talk to the both of us.” Xander says mimicking my whisper tone, opening the door for me to walk out. I leave him in his office, making my way to the alpha quarters.
Decided to wear a flowy green dress with green and brown sandals. I let my hair fall and brushed it, pulling it to one side. Showing Xander’s mark.
Joining our visitors in the lounge, where Xander was already seated.
“Councilmen, we were not expecting you. I’m sorry to keep you waiting.” I say. Forgetting that I am the moon goddess and they can wait all year long for me.
They all stand and bow their heads at me.
I sit first, next to Xander and they follow right after. Someone had brought refreshments and placed them on the coffee table.
“We are sorry to just drop by like this but we have pressing matters to discuss with you both. We have been alerted and shown a vision of the coming war between vampires and werewolves. It is troubling and because the vampire already have a monarch and one ruler, it makes it easy for them to follow orders.” One of the councilman says.
“The king lives yes, but he has no one to rule. They are all dead. What threat could he be right now? The war is years away if it all depends on a child that isn’t even born yet.” I say looking at all three of the councilmen.
“We can’t take our chances and have therefore decided to build our own kingdom. We will have one king and one queen to rule over all werewolves in the country. The council in other parts of the world agree with this and they will also be implementing the same thing. We will still have alphas and Luna’s but they will be reporting to a king and a queen. We have decided to hold trials, every alpha has to compete for the role of king. The strongest alpha will occupy the throne and rule beside his Luna.” The other says and I watch Xander scratch his neck.
“When does this trial begin?” I ask and the three men smile at me.
“Next week. We are aware it is short notice but we are pressed for time. It will take time for the werewolf community to get used to the idea of a king and queen and we don’t have time to deal with unrest plus the coming war. We will use this time to implement the plan and slowly work on adjusting to a new lifestyle.” The one says.
“What happens after an alpha wins? Is there a castle to live in?” Xander asks. I nod in agreement.
“That is in the works. We will be confirming that during the trials. We just came here to formally invite you to the trials.” The councilmen all say before standing up.
“We are also under the impression that the twin alphas are missing. Although we would like to launch an investigation, as you can see, there are more pressing matters.” The one says and X growls.
“We will pass on the message.” I say trying to defuse the situation before it escalates too quickly. The men nod their heads.
We say goodbye to them and they leave us with a big question mark.
A competition of alphas?
“This is.. well..” I say and Xander groans out loud.
“I’m not against fighting to show my true strength, it’s just not the best of times.” He says to me and I nod in agreement.
“Josey needs to return and run the pack until the twins son grows up. She can’t just abandon it but she is no alpha so she won’t be able to take part in the trials.” I say trying to come up with ways to bring her back.
“Are you sure she can’t take part? Her wolf is a strong. You can’t allow the vampire, a baby vampire to just take control like that. You are the moon goddess Sabrina, bring Josey back and we can work out the rules later but for now, her pack needs an alpha.” Xander says to me.
“You’re right.” I say and Xander nods his head yes.
I grab his hand and before he knows it, we are in front of the castle doors with Evan waiting for me.
“What’s the status?” I say and Evan let’s out a sigh.
“The vampire king is awake and he wants out. His sister tried to escape, goddess knows where she was going to run in a place filled with wolves but she did that. It’s been crazy. Your family keeps bickering all the time about what to do with Josey, it has been a loud time here with your family and Josey won’t stop whining for the vampire king.” Evan says, looking drained.
To think I was only gone for 2 hours max. I forget how time works here and it had probably been a very long time up here.
“I also need to point out that it isn’t normal to have earthlings here, in this realm and also in this castle. The order of things doesn’t allow for such, although with recent events, the elders allowed it but it is now something they wish to talk to you about.” Evan says, not looking at me.
I roll my eyes and walk in to the castle. Walking straight to check on Josey. Evan leads Xander to where the twins body’s were kept so he can say goodbye.
