Zeeb sits in a room before Alpha Jax, Lily and some council members of the bond moon pack.
“We have sent out emmisary to your Alpha, just like you have been sent to us as theirs. So what can we hope to achieve?” The council member for defence asked.
“We do not want the blood of your people. We only have a request to make,” Zeeb replied. He sits without any weapon in the room of armed men. He is a diplomat from Shane Moss to Alpha Jax.
It’s been four weeks since the Alpphas had a meeting, and where the rogue pack joined them. And since then, lots of things have happened. Unbelievable things. Shane Moss has finished mobilised his force, and he marched them all to the territory of Bond Moon pack. He met a resistance like never before at the entrance. Just a hundred men who defended them. Despite the fact that Shane Moss has his people in the thousands. The hundred men were defeated. They fought bravely and got weak. Shane Moss and his men arrested. They will be used as bargain against Alpha Jax.
Getting to the entrance of the inhabited part of the bond moon pack, they met a wall of resistance raised high up and wolves stood on it. Shane Moss and his soldiers of Alphas, Alphas soldiers and Rogue pack, camped before the gate and began a siege.
“We have blocked your routes of bringing in resources. You will starve your people?” Zeeb asked.
“But we ask you what it is that you want?” The council members for communication asked Zeeb. Everywhere is tensed. And he needs not to play around with words or arouse them further. They could kill him.
“We want the total surrender of Alpha Jax,” he said.
“What?” All council members around gasped. Lily gasped too. She does not believe her ears. Alpha Jax sits on his throne unshaken. He looks at Zeeb.
“Continue,” he ordered Zeeb calmly.
“My Alpha is not interested in your land. We are not interested in ruling or gaining control of your land. We just want your Alpha dead. The council can always bring up a new person to serve as your Alpha. Alpha Jax is the only sacrifice we ask in the preservation of the life of many,” Zeeb reported.
“Listen, your Alpha insult us. We will not sit here while you mock us,” the council member for defense cried.
“Sit!” Alpha Jax ordered. He turned at Zeeb.
“What offence does your Alpha blame me for?” Alpha Jax asked. Zeeb could not speak. He looked at Lily and back at Alpha Jax. His eyes always go back to Lily.
“Speak emissary. I know what your duty is, and I will not kill you for performing your duty,” Alpha Jax promised.
“He said you took something that belongs to him while he was weak. And other Alphas agree that you are a tyrant,” Zeeb answered.
“And that’s what our world is all about. There are those who are weak. And there are the strong. The strong will always take from the weak,” a council member said.
“Will you think again, good sire?” Lily jumped in. She looked at the man who just spoke in disgust.
“The strong are meant to protect the weak, not take from them. How can you say such a thing,” she frowned at him.
“Don’t be deluded by such idea. The string prey on the weak. The weak get stronger and take over, and in such manner existence keeps going. If what your Alpha claims is true, then he should be greatful I made him strong,” Alpha Jax said.
“Brother, I do not…”
“Not now Lily. Either my theory is wrong or yours is wrong, now is not the right time to argue. We are in the middle of a fucking war,” he interrupted Lily. She did not say anything back to him. She only smiled. No one said anything else for some moments.
Zeeb look around. He noticed the difference in how Alpha Jax is to Shane. No wonder people fear Alpha Jax. He is well built. His muscles look so strong as if they belong to a god. And his voice thick enough to make Zeeb fantasize about him.
“Take him away and give him a room. Provide food, shelter and drink. He is our guest till tomorrow where we might have to slaughter him at the battlefield,” Alpha Jax ordered. A guard came and grabbed Zeeb.
“I will take care of him,” Lily offered.
“Sister! He is dangerous and…”
“Now Jax, do you believe I cannot protect my self against him?” She argued.
“I do not doubt you,” Alpha Jax replied.
Lily walk him out of the room. Zeeb hope the reason Shane Moss had advised them to send emissaries is successful. He hopes he has been able to plant the seed of doubt of loyalty to the heart of the council member. Maybe one of them will feel guilty of Alpha Jax behaviour and rat him out.
“There has to be someone who secretly hates him among his board. We will tell them things and hopefully, the have a change of heart,” Shane Moss said.
“And if they don’t?” Stallone asked.
“Then the war continues.”
Zeeb followed Lily closely behind. She took him to a room filled with maids and food and clothes.
“Have your fill at whatever it is you want,” she said and turned.
“My lady, if you will,” he begged for her attention. Lily stopped walking. He walked closer to her, but did not touch her.
“What is it?” She asked.
“I do not reject food nor drink nor clothes. Goddess knows I need them. But I must say my Lady, I dare reject all the maids in that room just for your company,” Zeeb begged. She piqued his interest. She is a brave one.
“I do no come as part of the package for you being an emissary.”
“I am not asking for you. I am asking that you give me just your company. Perhaps we could talk. Both of us, with brains rather than bravery and brawn,” Zeeb said. She did not say anything. She only turned back into the room. She moved her hands, and all the maids in the room left immediately.
