Dimitri’s POV
It been two weeks,
The battle between the rogues is still going on, and I have been busy, and overwhelmed.
With Louis by my side,
We haven’t lost any of our men but some are injured.
And they are being treated well at the Twilight Fang pack.
Some are brought back to the pack, for proper care.
Right now we have over 10 men at the pack clinic receiving treatment,
I had sent more men to support.
We’ve been able to take back most of the southern border of Twilight Fang pack from the rogues.
This morning, Ryker one of the men who followed Seth to get more information about the rogues and the territorial right came back with some information about the rogues.
I called for an Emergency meeting and we all assembled in the meeting hall.
I gave Ryker the signal, to share with us what they had found .
He stood up, and handed over two maps to me.
I glanced through and one was a map of Twilight Fang pack and the second one the map of Embermoon pack.
But they are more detailed than the ones I have before.
Is this all you have for us, I asked.
As I put the two maps aside as I would get back to it later.
No, he responded and started speaking.
So we found out that the rogues are following the orders of an old rogues Zeus who is working with some werewolf hunters who are interested in getting the Silverwood Tree in order, to use it the Silverwood to build weapons and armours that we won’t be able to destroy with our strength.
So he plans to gain control of the Forest and then trade the Silverwood Tree with the hunters.
So the Werewolf hunters are the ones funding the war, as they give him money he uses it to get more rogues to fight for him, he landed.
So how many rogues are we talking about here,
About Five thousands last week, but now they have reduced to Three thousands rogues, we gave sir Cedric about some of their hideout and they attacked them off guard.
And about the Territorial right of Twilight Fang pack and Embermoon pack, the Map I gave you give a more details about their territory and we are still working on getting more information, Ryker Concluded.
I signalled to her to have a sit and he did.
I faced the Warriors,
So we now know who we are fighting against,
We need to dialogue with Alpha Damien and all their other allies as well as the Embermoon Pack and come up with a strategy counter this looming threat, I said.
This is just a fight of Twilight Fang pack alone,
This is a threat against our kingdom, I added.
We all can’t leave the pack unguarded, so we would divide ourselves.
Melinda prepare Ten men, I said facing Melinda.
Alright Alpha, she responded.
I don’t want any slacking in the security of the pack,
Louis you will be in charge here and handle all the pack affairs while I am gone.
Let us start preparing, we leave in two days.
I stood up, and dismissed everyone.
Asking Louis and Ryker to follow me to my Office.
We head up to my Chamber, while I held the Map of Twilight Fang pack, Ryker gave to me earlier.
Louis and Ryker followed closely behind.
As I reach up the stairs I sensed Kate, she was coming out of the room.
Her Wolf scent is getting stronger,
I raised up my head and looked at her, she is becoming more beautiful than the day I saw her, she reminds me of Amelia whom I love with my whole heart, making it difficult for me to love any other woman again, as I am scared of letting anyone into my heart and then losing them to some illness.
Amelia’s death still baffles me, how could a wolf with a Beta wolf die to an illness like that,
How can the Moon goddess be so cruel.
I was lost in thought as I looked at her,
Then Drey snapped, won’t you say something to her.
I jolted and looked back to the Map I was holding, and opened the door to my Chamber and stepped in,
Leaving it open for Louis and Ryker to come in.
Drey went crazy again, did you just ignored our mate, he shouted.
I felt a little headache.
I have important things at hand to handle please, I responded.
I know you have, but that isn’t suppose to stop you from saying hello.
She is going to feel ignored.
We haven’t gone to see her since the night, we broke into her room, I’m sure she would be angry.
Drey went on and on but I ignored.
I stepped into my office and Louis and Ryker joined in.
So looking at this Map, it is giving me some information about where the Twilight Fang pack territory reached in the ancient forest, I said as I took my sit.
Louis and Ryker sat across the table facing me.
We spread the Maps of both pack on the Table for a wider view.
We switched maps,
I studied the Embermoon Pack’s map, while Louis studied the Twilight Fang Pack’s map.
I noted out where the Embermoon Pack’s territory also,
More than half of the Ancient Forest belongs to the Embermoon Pack.
The Ancient Forest was occupied by the rogues, who were terrorizing both packs long ago, which made both packs decide to neglect the Forest until the Silverwood Trees were found, which created fued between the two packs,
We need the Map of the forest itself to know which particular pack owns the Silverwood Trees.
I faced Ryker, I want you to go to Seth, inform him I and some men will be coming in Two days time, he should set up a meeting with Alpha of Embermoon Pack, I concluded.
Alright Alpha, he responded.
And also we need to find the map of the Ancient Forest it self.
I faced Louis, I want you to inform all our Ally packs and the Werewolf Council what we have found out about the Rogues and their reason for fighting over the Silverwood Trees.
We should all be converging at the Twilight Fang Pack in two days time.
Alright Alpha, Louis responded.
I dismissed Ryker and told him to leave for Twilight Fang Pack immediately.
Immediately Ryker left my office and closed the door behind him.
Louis faced me, I know I am about to get scolded.
He and Drey are going to eat me up alive now.
So what is going on with you, he asked.
What are you talking about, I responded.
I noticed you’ve been ignoring Kate since the last escapade that occurred, he said.
I wasn’t ignoring her, I have just been busy, I retorted.
Even though that is exactly what I have been doing, I make sure I don’t step out when ever she steps out of her room.
You know you can’t lie to me, Even though you’re lying to yourself. He said.
I grinned widely.
So are you taking her along with you, he asked.
No, I responded sharply.
I could sense her wolf getting stronger, I said.
Yes I sensed it too, Louis said.
She is really determined to regain her strength back,
Lia has been giving me report about her progress, Louis added.
I wondered what happened to her that made her loss her strength, I said.
And why she was rumored to be a weak Omega,
The wolf I am sensing doesn’t seem to be an Omega, I added.
You could find that out yourself, Louis said.
She is your Luna, she is supposed to be involve in making decisions, he added.
I don’t trust her to that extent yet,
I was never fond of her Father, and he wasn’t as well,
I wouldn’t have agreed to the mating and alliance, if not for the pressure from the Pack Elders, I said.
Louis looked at me frowning, so what has her father got to do with you trusting her, he asked.
He might have send her to find out about my pack and my weakness, or was he that desperate for the Alliance so that we can support him in this ongoing battle, that he traded of his daughter so easily like that or there is more to his action, I responded.
Oh-h I understand, Louis said.
So what did you suggest, he asked.
I suggest find more information about her, while I’m gone, and I will also see if I can get some information when I get to Twilight Fang Pack, I responded.
Alright then, Louis said.
He stood and took his leave.
Since the day I lashed out at Sarah, she hasn’t shown up in front of me and I haven’t requested to see her.
I need to wind off right now, and she is the only one that can help.
Don’t you dare call on that bitch, I will strangle her if she shows up, Drey threatens.
I mind-linked her, she didn’t respond.
She is angry at me, as I have never lashed out at her.
Even when Drey and Louis wants me to.
I tolerated all her bad habits.
But things need to change now.
Then I decided to go to her chamber to have a discussion with her.
As I opened the door to go out, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs,
I sensed it was Kate, and I stepped back, closing the door behind me.
I opened the door to my room then pull of my cloth and stepped into the shower.
As I stepped out of the shower, trying to get into bed.
I heard a loud bang,
An explosion at the Eastern border.
I rushed out of bed putting on my clothes…
