Alpha Aiden thought about everything, both what Lord Dimitri and Draven had said. Lord Dimitri didn’t expect him to be hesitant but the things Draven offered were actually wow and Alpha Aiden’s mind ran wild.
“Alpha Aiden, is this something to think about?”, Lord Dimitri asked getting frustrated and irritated at what was happening right there in his sitting room. Alpha Aiden ignored him and continued thinking until he concluded, “I’ll join you Draven”.
On hearing that, Lord Dimitri couldn’t believe his ears. He was trying to understand if Alpha Aiden was feeling okay or something was wrong with him, he was deeply hurt and felt very betrayed by his ally who is almost like a friend. Well they haven’t talked about that yet but still, how could he?.
“Get out of my territory”, Lord Dimitri commanded but Draven and Alpha Aiden still stood there, Draven smiling mockingly, “I said get the fuck out of my territory. Both of you”.
“Don’t get so upset, I was born to win always. This shouldn’t be a surprise to you Dimitri”, Draven taunted Dimitri and laughed as him and Alpha Aiden left the Black Fangs territory together.
On their way out, Draven invited Alpha Aiden to his Clan/home and Alpha Aiden agreed, after all they will be working together to defeat Lord Dimitri.
They were going to be taking Alpha Aiden’s car and the drive was sure a very long one since Draven’s Clan was in another side of the United States. The NightStalkers Clan was nice, everywhere looked good, Alpha Aiden thought. He observed the environment and everything else. Though he’s not working with Draven but he still has to be on guard.
Alpha Aiden was still deciding if he will spend some days here to get used to the plan that was going to be discussed, since his Pack is far away from the NightStalkers Clan.
“Welcome to my humble abode”, Draven stated, feeling happy and proud of himself, “please make yourself comfortable friend”.
Alpha Aiden smiled as he took a good look at the house, it was indeed wonderful. Draven put it to himself to show Alpha Aiden around his territory, explaining each and everything.
As the walked around together, Alpha Aiden then asked, “since we are going to be doing this together, I would have to stay here to help with the plan. My Pack is too far from here and I think it’s suitable enough to plan everything here then I go back and the arrangements starts”.
Draven seemed to trust Alpha Aiden at the go and agreed to the offer, he was even delighted to have Alpha Aiden around and all.
Alpha Aiden asked some questions about Draven and his Clan, getting some interesting information on different levels of things. Alpha Aiden had informed his Pack and his mate Camille that he would be away on a business trip for some days, in order for them not to worry about his whereabouts.
Draven and Alpha Aiden laughed and discussed lots of things, Alpha Aiden noticed that Draven was a very proud and cunning person and he also like to get what he wants, despite the hold.
They only did talking of random stuff and no business it was the next day that business will come up and then they can start making the plan. Over the years Alpha Aiden had gotten information about Lord Dimitri’s Clan and knew somethings also and that was a great advantage to score well in this raging war that was about to commence.
Next morning>>>>
Alpha Aiden and Draven had woken up and done the needed, had some breakfast and headed down to a room where the plans will be made. Draven top fighters where there, his spy’s, etc all there.
As Alpha Aiden entered the room, the air was always slightly damp and musty, giving the room an ancient, almost haunted feel.
The room was arranged with a large circular table in the center, surrounded by high-backed chairs, each with a small pedestal in front of them. The pedestals are used to hold the cups and chalices of blood that vampires consume during their meetings. The table is adorned with ancient maps, old books, and various other arcane items that the vampires use in their mission planning.
Draven had told him earlier that at the head of the table sits the leader of the group, which is Draven, the oldest and most powerful vampire among them. And is usually flanked by his most trusted lieutenants, who assist in making crucial decisions for the group, Alpha Aiden had asked how the meeting will go and Draven had taken it up on himself to give him some insight.
Alpha Aiden also noticed that the walls of the room were decorated with various occult symbols and paintings of ancient vampires, hinting at the group’s long and storied history.
During mission planning, the vampires sat around the table and discuss their plans in detail. Alpha Aiden was given a different sit around the table but it had no cup to drink blood, nah he wasn’t doing that. The Vampires do their thing and he will do his. They analyzed every aspect of the mission, from the location and timing to the number of enemy vampires they will encounter. They also discuss the potential risks and rewards of the mission, and make sure that they have all the resources they need to carry it out successfully.
Draven also told him that once the plan is finalized, they all drink from their chalices of blood and raise a toast to their success. They then disperse, ready to execute their mission with precision and efficiency.
They do have their tradition, Alpha Aiden thought while chuckling in his mind.
Draven introduced Alpha Aiden to his fellow council or rather inner circle members, they all acknowledged his presence though some were finding it hard to trust him but Aiden was determined to earn their trust.
Draven right hand man then looked up at Alpha Aiden and asked, ” Are you ready to give us the information we need?”.
