Dimitri’s POV
With Kate now able to transform fully that has gotten out of my plate, all she is doing now is work on her strength and transformation control.
I want to get this Silverwood Trees territorial right off my plate also.
The Werewolf Council has called on a meeting on it.
I’ve been able to convince some member of the werewolf council regarding the territorial right, and they’ve also informed me they were able to get some information that helped also.
Alpha Damien had also sent a message to me as to the why the decision is taking too long.
The day finally arrived,
The meeting will be held at the Councils Chamber.
I get dressed and head to the chamber leaving the pack affairs in the hands of Louis while I am away.
The Alphas from other packs has arrived, the council chamber is filled with Alphas and Elders from various packs.
The Werewolf Council comprises of ancient Alphas and Elders from the entire Werewolf Kingdom.
But all Alphas from the entire pack had been invited to witness this meeting.
I strode into the chamber and I sighted Alpha Roderick and Alpha Viktor from afar, they were discussing.
I moved closer to them and there face lit up as they sight me, we haven’t seen each other since we got rid of the hunters.
I took my sit beside Alpha Viktor.
Hello Alphas I greeted.
And they responded.
How are things at your end, I asked.
The Moon Goddess has been keeping us safe, Alpha Viktor responded.
The Battle against the rogues has really helped us a lot, Alpha Roderick said,
Just like you had said then that it isn’t a battle for the Silverwood Trees alone but the entire Werewolf Kingdom,
The Battle has substantially reduced the rogues that the remaining has no choice than to hide themselves.
Our Men and people now get to take a run without the fear of being attacked by the rogues, Alpha Roderick said.
Though our first meeting hadn’t been a quite impressive one, but during the course of the battle we quite grew a kind of relationship,
Even though I don’t quite go along with most of the Alpha’s as they all see me as a threat.
They still respect the way I handle situations.
My Alliance with most Packs has only been with the help of Louis,
If not for the Alliances and the help I profer whenever any of my allied packs are in danger just like I had done with the Twilight Fang pack which has strengthened their loyalty toward me I would have been dethroned along time ago due to my weakness, Drey’s Rage.
Alpha Elara joined in as she sat beside me.
And greeted me, she doesn’t seem to like me as well due to my reputation but I didn’t seem to care.
Thank you for giving us the Sunrise Flower petals, I really appreciate your help, I thanked her.
It’s my pleasure to help, she responded
I sighted other Alpha of the packs that helped provide us with the Antidote and I decide to see them and appreciate them after the meeting.
The only thing they all seem to admire, is the way I handle my packs affairs and the affairs of my Ally packs, separately from my personal self.
So even though they don’t like me as a person, they tend to respect my leadership role.
Then I sighted Alpha Damien as he strode in,
The sight of him makes my skin scrawl,
Drey hated him so bad especially when he finds out what he had done to Kate.
He growled at the sight of him, he felt like lunging at him and strip his head of his neck.
You have to calm down and behave yourself here, I said to him.
The Elders has started arriving,
Everyone took their sit.
Then some minute later,
All the Werewolf Council members are on sit.
The meeting begins immediately,
Silence filled the whole air, as Elder cree who is one of the Werewolf Council begins.
In the past few months, a battle over the territorial right of the ancient forest between the Twilight Fang Pack and the Embermoon Pack has been the issue we have been handling.
A battle which in turn turned into a battle between the Entire Werewolf Kingdom and the Rogues,
A battle who could have turned into the ruins of the werewolf kingdom if Alpha Dimitri of the Bloodmoon Pack hadn’t found out the looming threat earlier.
And with that we are able to turn the tide of the Battle around to our Victory, with the help of every man in this Chamber and your pack warriors.
So the entire Werewolf Council appreciate all your effort.
But with the battle won and over, the decision regarding the territorial right of the Ancient Forest still needs to be decided.
We have informed the Alphas who have their pack close to these regions to go do some more findings regarding the Ancient Forest and the territorial bounds as well as where the Silverwood Trees are.
Alpha Damien looked at my direction with a cold gaze,
This is exactly what he doesn’t want,
He knew the decision can never favor him, which is why he tried to keep the eyes and ears of most packs away from it,
He doesn’t want much attention.
He had hoped for a force taking over of the Ancient Forest from the Embermoon Pack.
And he has thought an alliance with my pack would give him that since my reputation has been to be gruesome and cruel.
He didn’t get the part that the reputation is actually for my Lycan form.
And now he hate my gut, it’s well written in his faces,
The Alphas has already submitted their report and we will be making our decisions based on the report.
In the report from Ten packs around this region,
We found out that the Silverwood Trees in the Ancient Forest are more concentrated at the southern region of the forest which falls at the Northern Border of the Embermoon Pack.
And also looking at the old Map of the Twilight Fang pack and the Embermoon Pack where it indicates that the Ancient Forest doesn’t belong to one particular Pack, they are both sharing border with each other at the heart of the Ancient Forest, before the rogues start dwelling it the forest and both pack agreed on secluding the Forest for the safety of their people.
So therefore the Ancient Forest won’t be going to one Pack.
Also with a further investigation, we get to find out that the region where the Silverwood Trees are dominated falls within the border of the Embermoon Pack in the Forest,
Alpha Ethan’s face lit up at the pronouncement.
Alpha Damien looked him as though he should pull out his head from his neck.
Murmur erupted in the chamber.
That bastard is just causing rift on what he doesn’t own, Alpha Viktor muttered looking at Alpha Damien with a disdainful look.
Silence, Elder Cree ordered.
Silence filled the air once more.
However the territorial right of the said region will not be handed over the Embermoon Pack, Elder Cree continues.
Alpha Damien lit up as Elder Cree said that.
While Alpha Ethan furrowed his brow
As this might still cause rift between two packs in the future or attract more rogue attack to the pack seeing the value of the Silverwood Trees.
Therefore the Ancient Forest will be controlled by the Werewolf Council Elder Cree concluded.
Alpha Ethan relax back into his chairs.
Even though he isn’t happy with the outcome of the decision, he seem to be satisfied with the decision of the Council.
Alpha Damien on the other hand was upset with the decision.
Is there any concern regarding the decision.
Everyone looked at each other, and nobody raised any concern.
In the absence of none, I call this meeting to a close, Elder Cree announce.
Everyone stood up, greetings were shared.
I sighted the Alpha of Stormbringer Tribe and the Alpha of Lunarstrike Clan.
I moved closer to them, and appreciated them.
As we’re exchanging our greetings,
Alpha Damien lunged at me, you cursed Lycan, see what you caused.
Everyone was shocked at his display, the Alpha of Stormbringer pushed him away from me, Alpha Viktor rushed to my side, my other Allies also did the same the Lycan Alpha who aren’t even my Allies stood by me and growled at him how dare you.
One thing about Lycans is we always stood in support of each other at the glance of threat against our kind.
And that has make the werewolf fearful of us.
I stood still in shock as I wasn’t expecting him to put up such display publicly in the presence of the Werewolf Council.
Now I see more reason to break off all my Alliance with him.
Thanks to the Moon Goddess I was able to keep Drey in control,
He was also impressed at the way the Alpha’s had stood by me.
Alpha Damien then calm himself then stormed off.
I thanked everyone
and we all head to our various cars
I Ignited my engine and drove off.
The Alphas who is going in the same direction as mine also followed in their cars as we drove out of the Council chamber.
We bid ourselves goodbye as everyone drove towards their packs.
The action of Alpha Damien baffles me, as though why is he so keen on having the Silverwood Trees.
What exactly is his plan,
I need to watch my back and increase the patrol guards at the border we shared with him.
I don’t want any surprises from him.
After three hours of driving,
I reached the Pack Gate, and the guards opened the gate for me, I drove for another fifteen minutes, I can’t wait to reach the pack house, I am starving already.
It evening already,
I mind-linked Louis to help me order for my food served in my room.
We should mark our Mate already, Drey said.
Yeah that’s true, I responded.
I packed the car, and head into the pack house,
Louis came out of the pack house,
Welcome how was the meeting, he greeted.
It was fine, I responded.
We both head to my room, the food had been served already.
I strode to the food, I can’t even wait to freshen up.
Louis joined in and we ate together.
You won’t believe Alpha Damien attacked me, I said breaking the silence.
He did what, he was shocked.
How dare him, for what
Well he isn’t happy with the Councils decision and he decided to take it out on me.
That old fool, Louis cursed.
Why not go against it when the Elders made the announcement, he said
Perhaps he doesn’t want to be questioned as to why he is against it, I responded.
This gives me more reasons to break off alliance with him, I said.
And what if he decided to fight back, Louis inquired.
He wouldn’t dare, I said.
And if he does then, we will be ready for him.
We will increase the patrol guards at the southern border,
I don’t want any surprises from him, I added.
Okay no problem, Louis said.
How is Diana, she is now better.
That’s good, I said.
How about Kate, I asked.
I saw her head to the training cabin earlier, he responded.
We continued to eat in silence, and then the door sprang open.
We raised our head up to, it was Kate, she was standing at the door way.
Oh Moon Goddess, I exclaimed my Eyes widened.
