Dimitri’s POV
Louis handed over the list he had compiled earlier to me
So right now we have a total of 2000 Men,
They will be heading to Twilight Fang by Dawn, he said.
I glanced through the list and nodded.
So what about the weapons, I asked.
Yes, the Moonblade Clan, the Stormbringer tribe, the Nightstalker Tribe and the thunder Fang Pack said they will be providing that
As we are discussing this, the door suddenly opened,
then Alpha Damien and his Beta barged in.
Drey growled in anger in my head, who does this man think he is.
As he reached my table,
Why was he here, he said.
Who, I asked even though I know who he is talking about.
The Alpha of Embermoon Pack, he retorted.
And why are you snooping around my territory without my knowledge, He snapped hitting his hand on my table.
Louis growled,
I signaled him to calm down.
So you expect me to send over a hundred men to fight a battle and not find out more about who and what I am fighting against, I retorted.
I am not saying you shouldn’t find out, but that shouldn’t be without my knowledge, he said raising his voice.
And why didn’t you reach out to me first, when founded something that important,
It’s a slap on my face to had to find out at the meeting, he added with anger in his voice.
I expected you to have found out, which I see to be surprising you hadn’t, I said.
You signed an alliance with me and not the whole werewolf kingdom, he retorted
You shouldn’t make decisions without my consent,
I don’t want any external warrior other than my personal allies warrior in my pack or near my border, he threatened.
I growled and stood up, locking gaze with him.
I didn’t intend to lose my Men or my Pack signing an Alliance with you, I snapped.
And the moment I sent my Men to fight alongside with you in this battle,
and the rogues attacked my Men at my border, I am in a position to make decisions.
And you dare not try to stop the warriors from entering your pack, except you are ready to fight against the entire Werewolf Kingdom, I said and returned back to my sit.
He growled, turned back and stormed out of my office.
His Beta following him closely behind.
As they are both out of my office,
Louis turned to face me,
What makes you so gentle, the Dimitri I know would have eaten that man alive.
And what was that all about, he added.
I told you I don’t trust that man,
Instruct our Men to keep their eye open on him and watch his every move, I said.
I believe he and some of his allies are trying to take a hold of the Silverwood Trees by force from the Embermoon Pack,
I don’t think it’s rightfully belong to Twilight Fang Pack,
They had not expect the rogues to be so strong on it like this, added.
And also I want to know more about Kate,
I don’t trust neither she or his father,
I want to know if she has been sent here by her to find out about my weakness or my Pack.
The expression on her face earlier speaks a lot,
And why was the beta growling when I draw her close to me, I continued.
Don’t tell me you are suspecting our Mate, Drey questioned,
We have to atleast find out more about out so called Mate, I retorted.
Or did you want us to get attached and then get betrayed, I added.
I don’t think Kate is involved in any affairs of there Pack, Louis said bringing me out of my conversation with Drey.
Lia had once told me, Kate told her Wolf was suppressed in her pack and she only finds out 2 days to the Mating Ceremony, he continued.
But I have been wondering, what could make an Alpha suppress his Daughter’s wolf and then tagged her as a weak half breed Omega, he concluded with a concerned look on his face.
Well we must not leave any stone unturned.
Assign one of our Men to find out more about her in her pack.
And I need to reach out to Seth, what else has he found out about the territorial right of the ancient forest.
Inform Lia as well to get kate to talk more about herself and her past life, I added.
Okay I will inform her tomorrow morning, Louis replied.
Let us go to the each pack border to see how they are fairing, I said.
I also need to address the warriors our Ally packs sent here, I continued.
Louis nodded.
I will go to the Southern and Eastern border and you will go the Northern and Western Border, I said as we both stood up and head out of my office.
We head to the training yard, we met warriors some who are sparring, some are training, some are exercising while some are resting at the resting area of the training yard.
Our Allies had sent a total number of 130 strong warriors to support and help in protecting our borders.
the fourty warriors Louis had placed at the borders in the morning have now been replaced by another fifty warriors for the night shift.
As I and Louis move closer to them they all halt what they were doing and greeted us with a bow.
Louis called all of them together, since I want to address them.
Hello everyone, I began.
And all murmurs stopped
I want to welcome and appreciate the warriors from the Shadowwalker pack, Dawnrunner pack and Lunarstrike Clan who are here to support us in the fight against the rogues, I said.
And I also want to appreciate my Men for always ensuring the security of our people are put in place, I added.
I want to assure you that your welfarism will be prioritize and we will work hand in hand to attain victory in this Battle, I concluded.
They all roared in response to my address to express their happiness and I could see they feel honored and appreciated.
I and Louis then leave them to continue what they were doing.
We split and head over to the respective border I had stated earlier that we will be checking on.
I head to the Northern Border,
I run through the forest paying attention to every whispers of creatures in the forest,
The moonlight shining and giving a clear view of the forest.
After I had run for about 30 minutes, I arrived at the Western Border and I moved closer to the warriors,
There are ten warriors here at Western Border, two warriors at the border gate, the other eight split themselves into 4 groups and they patrol every where of the Northern Border.
I address them as well, then I head for the Eastern Border where the attack had taken place yesterday night.
There are 20 warriors at the Eastern border to ensure a tightened security.
I also intend to spend the night with them on patrol.
I reached the Eastern border and everything is under control,
There are five men at the border gate,
And the rest have gone patrol.
I took my sit and mind-linked Louis who must be at either the Southern Border or Western Border by now.
Is everything okay over there, I asked.
I have gone to the Southern Border and everything is okay.
But we have a little problem at the Western Border, he said.
Wh-what I stood up immediately,
what problem is that, I demanded.
Did you need more men, I asked.
No, everything is under control, he assured.
I became relaxed as I trust Louis to have everything under control whenever he says it is.
What is the problem, I asked as I took my sit.
The guards on patrol caught some rogues and to my disappointment one of our own betrayed us, he said.
Wh-what, and who is that person, I asked.
Finn, he was caught trading informations about the meeting we had today to the rogues, Louis replied.
How dare him, were you able to retrieve all the information and hope none of the rogues escaped, I asked.
None escaped, Louis reassured.
Okay, I replied
I will come over right away, I added.
I stayed for about 30 minutes at the Eastern border, before heading to the Western Border to meet Louis.
I mind-linked Melinda who is inside the pack with the other soldiers.
She is known to have the ability to read minds of the fellow werewolves, which I have restricted her from using if not needed.
Hello my Alpha, she said
Head over to the Eastern border, some rogues were caught and one of our own betrayed us, I said.
Right away sir.
I head to the Eastern border running through the woods for about one hour.
Immediately I reached the Eastern Border,
Melinda was there already,
Louis stood up from where he was sitting.
I lunged at Finn who has been battered by his fellow men already.
How dare you betray your own kind over a few token, I said holding him against the wall.
He couldn’t raise his face to look at me.
I dropped him to the floor.
You and who are involved in this action,
How did you have access to what was discussed inside the Hall.
It was given to me by one of the maids, he said with a shaking voice.
Another surge of disappointment hits my heart,
I have snakes in my pack now
The people I am trying to protect are now betraying me.
I turned to Melinda to confirm if he is saying the truth by reading his mind.
She squat in front of him and held his face upright.
After some minutes she stood up.
She turned to me and nodded,
He is telling the truth, she said.
Take him to the dungeon, I ordered.
I moved closer to the rogues, they were three in number,
You sly bastards, I growled.
Are you sure they are just three, I asked Louis.
Yes they are just three, he responded.
Kill them all and burn them, I said.
I called Louis and Melinda aside.
We can’t afford to let spies within our midst this time around, I said.
I turned to Melinda,
I want you to assemble all the pack members who have the ability to read mind tomorrow morning and come to my office.
We need to fish out the snakes amongst us and your ability could help here.
But firstly head over to the Servant yard to fish out the servant who had given Finn the information, I concluded and she left immediately.
I turned to Louis instruct on guards on patrol to be at alert to in case anybody might want to escape.
Alright, he said.
I joined in the patrol as we dispersed.
