Dimitri POV
It is 7 am in the morning, we should head back to the pack, I told Louis who was sitting beside me.
Yes we should, he replied.
But first let check on our Men at the clinic.
We head to the clinic and all the Men are fairing well.
Most of them have been discharged since they are healed.
While the rest were sleeping.
I greeted the doctors and nurses on duty and appreciated their efforts.
I and Louis then head back to the pack house.
As we’re about to enter the pack house, I met Melinda, Isolde and 10 others.
Good morning Alpha, they greeted bowing their heads
Good morning, I responded.
They greeted Louis also and he responded.
We all head straight to my Office.
I opened the door and stepped in leaving it for those following me closely behind.
I sat down waiting for them to settle in before I start speaking.
Yesterday, I began to address them,
the guards on patrol caught some rogues and a Spy which happens to be one of our trusted Men, I said.
They all look at each other’s faces in surprise and a disappointment written on their faces as well.
He confessed to had gotten the information he traded with the rogues from one of the servants who are present at the Hall during the Emergency meeting, I added.
The reason why I had summoned you all here is because I want you all to use your mind reading ability to fish out who the servant is, I said.
B-but Alpha did you think that is a good idea, Isolde asked.
People will start talking, she added.
You’re right, but we need to figure this out immediately.
I know I am the one that forbid everyone not to use their ability due to the rift it is causing amongst members of the pack but right now I am lifting the ban on only those inside this room right now, because we need to figure this out immediately, before we put other measures in place to stop snakes from entering amidst us.
So right now we will head to the servant yard to do that immediately, as I don’t want any loop holes.
Alright Alpha, they all said in chorus
I forbid you all to use your ability without my consent, I commanded
And no other person other than those who are here will here of this, I added.
I stood up and we head out of my office,
As we reached the servants yard.
I called on the head servant.
Good morning my Alpha, she greeted bowing her head.
Good morning, I responded.
I want you to assemble all the servants who were present inside the hall during the Emergency meeting, I ordered.
Right away sir, she said and strode off.
After a few minutes she came with the servants following her closely behind, here they are Alpha, she said pointing to the maids.
Are you sure this is everyone of them, I asked.
Yes my Alpha, she responded.
Okay then lock all the doors, I ordered.
I must not hear anything that happen here out of those doors, and if any perpetrator is caught, you will be severely punished.
And you all know my punishment to be a severe one, I said.
So yesterday, we caught a spy who happens to be one of our Men, and he has confessed to have an accomplice amongst you here, I said.
So if you know you’re the one, I order you now to come further before being fished out.
Maybe your punishment can be reduced I added.
They all looked eye to eye as I speak.
I waited for about 2 minutes but no one came forward.
Fish out the perpetrator, I ordered.
They all spread out, and the mind readers started reading their minds, one after the other.
Here you are, one of the mind readers called out.
And then Melinda spotted out another one.
Two of them, I asked.
Yes, Melinda confirmed.
Take them to the dungeon, I ordered.
You can all return to your duty, and remember no word of what happened here should leave our midst.
They all left immediately,
I’m sorry my Alpha,
I had no idea there are snakes amongst my servant, I will be at alert and pay attention to every of their movement from now on, the head servant said bowing her head.
I turned to Louis, Melinda and Isolde, let us meet in my office.
We all head back to my office.
***
What do you all think we can do to stop this from happening again,
We can’t afford to allow snakes roam amidst us and sell us out to our enemies.
There is a lot at stake, I added.
They all nodded,
We should increase the guards at the border, to ensure no one comes in or leaves the pack without being spotted, Louis said.
Perhaps we can also mount one or two person who has the mind reading ability at each border that only the Head guard would know about, Melinda suggested.
I looked at Louis, I don’t think that is a good idea, I said.
I do not intend for that to continue, as people will tend to find out as times goes on, I added.
I can’t afford for another rift to happen within the pack this time around, I concluded.
How about we do not allow anyone leave the pack without taking permission from your office and anyone that wants to come in must be brought by the guards, Louis said
With that we keep everything and everyone coming in and going out in check, he added.
I nodded in agreement with Louis.
Inform all the guards then, I said.
Melinda and Isolde took their leave, leaving me and Louis in the office.
I turned to face Louis, I want those three snakes to be interrogated, I want to know what they were offered that would make them want to sell their pack out to the rogues, I said.
Okay no problem, Louis said.
The warriors heading to Twilight Fang Pack should be on their way by now, I asked.
Yes of course, he replied.
I need to take a nap, and you should too, I said
Yes I will, Louis responded as he stood up to take his leave.
I stood up as well and head to my room.
