Alpha's Blind Luna



Walking back into the meeting, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. A lot of the Alphas had already come back and a loud argument was already starting. Shaking my head, I stood in front of my seat. AJ and Bryan flanked me again. Týr nodded to me and I smiled back. Most of these Alphas were older than me by at least ten years, if not more. Grabbing one of the paperweights, I knocked the table a few times, grabbing everyones attention. A hush fell over the room as they looked to me. Standing up straight, I gestured to the table.

“I have been listening to everyone and it seems we have hit a roadblock." I waited for anyone to disagree and when they didn't, I continued. “We all are having a different issue with our neighbors. Whether it be other packs, covens, or fey. I think the only way to come to a consensus, one that everyone will listen to, is having the Kings pass the treaties that affect every single one of their people."

There was silence only for a moment before the Alphas raised their voices, shouting at one another. I banged the paperweight on the table, hushing everyone again.

"Each one of you want something. The problem is, each one of you have different priorities. That's what makes us wolves. Our packs are different and I don't intend on taking that away. I don't want to touch your pack politics, how you run your packs, or where they are. That's not my intention unless you break our own laws. What I'm speaking directly of is working with the Kings to help facilitate peace between all the races. Not the High Council.

We've had enough of the High Council and I think it's time we start focusing inwardly to our own race. First making sure our people are safe and that we don't have more bloodshed when it's completely preventable. Now, I can't have everyone yelling and talking all at once. It's ridiculous and no one is going to be heard when everyone wants to be heard."

I took a deep breath. "Here is how the rest of the meeting is going to go. Individually, we are going to hear from each Alpha of what they are looking for and what an ideal agreement looks like to them. I don't care if it isn't your ideal agreement, I want to hear everyones. Then, tomorrow, we are going to have a discussion. I'm going to put together a more extensive request of the other races. But we need to be willing to compromise as well. It can't be us trying to limit all other races but not changing ourselves. That's not how this works."

"So what you want from us are the things we are looking for from the other races? Such as respecting our borders and official requests to come onto the land?" Týr asked, looking at me seriously.

Nodding, I sat down at the table. "Yes. That's exactly it. I may also add in additional issues as well that I want to have cleared up. That is what I want right now as we go around the table."

"And tomorrow you want us to...go over things we are willing to let go?" One of the other Alphas asked.

"Exactly."

Týr rubbed his chin and the room was so quiet that you could hear the beard scratching against his fingers. "Like what?"

I pursed my lips. "Like getting rid of Nova 2.0."

The whole room erupted again in noise and growling. I slammed the paperweight down on the table but this time a little too hard and it shattered over the table. This really shut everyone one and I let my power seep into the room, just a little bit. Naresh was sitting near the front as well.

"We are not going to get everything we want. There needs to be some give and take. I've been running around dealing with small attacks and issue that could have usually been talked out. The other races are scared."

"As they should be." One of the Alphas growled out.

I growled louder though. "No, they shouldn't. They shouldn't fear us. Fear leads to irrational decisions. It leads to war and death and at the end of the day you realize that it was never worth it. You lose everything and for what? Because you wanted to be feared? Wanted to be on the top of the food chain? Do you plan on eating the fey and vampires?"This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

His lips turned up in disgust.

"That's what I thought. What is going to happen is I'm going to provide some options. Things I have continuously heard from the other races that they are worried about us, about werewolves. Things that we need to change. Because if we don't changes, we can't ask for them to abide by anything we want. Is that understood?"

They all nodded, settling down into their chairs.

"We are going to go around this table twice. I know it's putting the first couple of Alphas on the spot and they may think of something else as we go around. So we will go around twice. If you have no changes you wish to make just say 'pass'. However, I want you to start with your name and your pack for the record."

Motioning to AJ and Bryan, they were sitting next to me. Bryan had a pen and paper while AJ had a laptop. Both were fast in their own right and I would rather have one perfect paper rather than two that were incomplete.

"Tomorrow, we will come back and have a further discussion about changes we as a race are willing to make. We will rank them at the time for things we can do easily, verses things that are harder to do. From there, I will also be working with other Alphas. My mate is already reaching out to them with the same requests. Once I get a more extensive list for everyone, I will be working on talks with the other kings to ensure that our voice is not only heard, but that we enact real change. Not a hearing in a council. A treaty of the most powerful of their races."

Bryan nodded to me. "Shall we begin?"

I nodded, leaning back in my seat, settling in to be more comfortable. Waving at the Alpha on my left, he stood up awkwardly.

“Alpha Beretti, of the Highfang Pack, sire.”

Smiling, I tipped my head to him. "You have the floor, Alpha Beretti."

"Yes. I...um..." A few of the other Alphas chuckled but I silenced them with a glare. "We are having issue with the fey on our territory. We have always shared the forest and had no real issues. We want to make sure that the fey understand that the forest isn't just theirs. We are wolves, we also want to run free. The territory line was marked hundred of years ago. I don't mind if they come on the territory but they need to have prior authorization so I don't have any pups or warriors thinking they are they to steal or harm anyone."

Alpha Beretti continued to talk and I listened to Bryan's scrawling along with AJ's typing. Nodding, I let a smile settle on my face. Týr also was smiling further down the table and when his eyes caught mine, he tipped his head to me. The first time I think my brother had actually acknowledged me in any way.

'We should have done this sooner, apparently.'

'I think it needed to get to this point in order for them all to come together and get a consensus of what the issues were and how we can fix them.' Naresh was listening as well, still sharing the forefront of my mind just in case we needed to make sure these Alphas stayed respectful.

'Let's see how well this continues. Tomorrow will be the real test as well.'

Naresh chuckled. 'That's fine. I have been wanting to stretch our aura out a little.'

Alpha Beretti sat down nodding to the table. The next Alpha stood up next to him, taking a deep breath.

"I am Alpha Morné of the Nightfall Pack and I've had nothing but issues with vampires."

And so the crazy yelling match of a meeting turned into a more civilized organization of what each Alpha needed and wanted from their neighbors.

Sitting on the bed, I sighed. It took hours to have everyone speak their mind about what they wanted from the other supernaturals in their area. The Alphas started noticing patterns and that a lot of them were asking for the same thing, just in different words. Bryan and AJ then put their heads together to compile their notes into one. Which I spent three hours combing through and combining into the most important and some of the idiotic things the Alphas were asking for.

It was nearing 1 a.m. and all I wanted to do was jerk off and go to sleep. As I started to strip, my phone started to ring. Sighing, I grabbed it and looked at the number. It was coming from an unknown number but I answered it anyways.

"Vale Everfell."

A tittering laugher came over the line. "I half expected you to answer as Alpha King."

I smiled, recognizing Pipsqueak's mile-a-minute speech. "I almost did. I'm assuming Zeke reached out to you?"

She hummed. "Straight to business? No 'how are you' or 'what you been up to'?"

"I probably don't want to know. So yeah, straight to business."

Laughing, I could hear her typing away on a computer. "You aren't wrong. What can I do you for Alpha King?"

"I need to speak with the Fey King."

Her typing stopped but she started to hum. "I don't have direct connection to him. I'm not exactly the most well liked fey out there in the eyes of the royal family."

"I would never have guessed." My sarcasm came through and she laughed.

“I do have a secondary source though. Someone who is close with him and would be able to speak to him for you. Carry a message at the very least."

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I sighed. “That's not necessarily what I'm looking for.”

"Well, I can guarantee that she at least consistently sees the King. Outside of that, I don't know anyone who will see him more than once every five years."

Groaning, I fell back on the bed. "Fine. Where can I meet them?"

She was furiously typing in the background. "Oh look, how convenient! You have a dinner reservation at The Naughty Night."

"No! Pipsqueak! That's my anniversary dinner!"

"Whelp, it will also be your contact with her. Have a good night, Vale."

The phone line went dead and I tossed by phone behind me on the pillows. Fuck. I didn't want to work while I was out with Zeke. Sure, he would understand but that didn't mean I wanted him to have to deal with that on our vacation. Sometimes, I wanted to throttle Pipsqueak but Mom had always said that was her way. She was infuriating sometimes but she was an asset and could get you what you wanted in record time.

Reaching out, I grabbed my phone again. It would be about 8 a.m over in Italy. First, I called Hector. It took a couple rings but he eventually picked

up.

"Hey Vale, what's up?"
