Chapter Twenty Eight

All I could think of all week was Lucy and how she was fairing with the injury. Glen my beta had offered to keep an eye out for the rogue’s pack to ensure her safety. Each day he returned with no positive results, and she wasn’t seen leaving the pack.

I found it unusual because Lucy wasn’t the type to be confined to a particular place, she loved the woods and spent most of her time there. What if she had been imprisoned for going against her leader? I had thought.

Most of the time, I accompanied my beta to see things for myself. Well, luck shone on me this time when I saw her sneak out of that gate that night.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Alas, she was alright after all.

I could see the surprise written all over her when she saw me on the cliff accompanied by my guards.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

“To see you of course. I wanted to be sure that you were safe in there, it’s good to see that you’re fine,” I said.

“I’m fine as you can see,” she muttered.

“I can see that,” I said moving close to her. I wrapped my arms around her to feel her warmth and be soaked in her aura if she would let me.

I smiled when I heard her heave a sigh of relief. “I’m glad you’re here, I really am,” she said as her arms found their way to my midsection.

“There’s something I need to talk to you about, it’s important,” she said, finally breaking the silence between us and pulling herself from my grip.

“What do you want to talk to me about? ” I asked when I saw how serious she was.

She turned to my guards and ordered. “Leave us.”

This came as a shock to my guards they turned to me perplexed waiting for my reaction.

“You heard her, leave us now,” I said. I grinned as I watched them walk away in utmost disappointment.

“She sure would make a fine Luna,” I thought.

“Another invasion is coming, Chris, a massive one,” she said.

“What are you talking about? What invasion ?” I asked, looking confused.

“Cade is planning another attack on your pack, I don’t know when but you have to be careful. He has formed an allegiance with other notorious rogue packs,” she explained.

I simply nodded because I didn’t know what to say. What had my pack ever done to deserve this? What have I ever done? I thought. I had enemies surrounding me both in the pack and outside.

My father was a peaceful ruler and Alpha before the cold hands of death snatched him from us. These invaders probably thought I wasn’t capable of ruling with an iron fist, I would prove them wrong. I’ll prove to them that I, CHRIS, would not tolerate any menace in my pack.

“I should go, it’s almost dawn,” I said. “You should too, before anyone notices your absence.”

“Yeah you’re right, I should get going then,” she said and turned to leave.

“Will I see you again?” I asked.

“Of course, you know where to find me,” she giggled before disappearing into the woods.

I and my guards returned to the pack, my mind was still troubled by what Lucy had told me earlier. I pondered about it for a long time before I dozed off eventually.

By the time I woke up, I was already late for a council meeting with my elders. The Alpha’s summit was close at hand and a lot had to be discussed.

The summit was an annual event where all alphas from different packs assemble to air out the complaints of their people and seek advice from the alpha of all alphas, Alpha Uther.

“The elders are waiting at the great hall and you’re still in bed,” my mother yelled.

I groaned, I needed more sleep. “Can you preside the meeting on my behalf, Mother? I’m too tired to get up,” I said.

“This pack has an alpha now and that’s you, son. I have no right to preside at any meeting now that you are here,” she said angrily. “You had better hurry before Orvyn and his minions find another reason to dethrone you.”

Immediately, I sprung out of bed, and in a flash, I was all dressed up. I raced down to the great hall, huffing and puffing.

They all rose and bowed as I walked into the hall, maintaining composure so they wouldn’t realize I had been running.

“Sit,” I said.

“What was the delay this time? You should know that I hate to be kept waiting,” Orvyn grunted. I knew he would be the first to wag his tongue and one day I would cut it off from him.

“Too bad I’m the Alpha and not you, so deal with it,” I sneered. I hated him with everything in me, there was something off about him that gave me concern. I knew he had dark secrets, dark secrets that its revelation would cause a great uproar among the people in the pack. Whatever it was would reveal itself with time.

The rest of them were in awe at my response. No one had ever spoken to him the way I did, he was respected amongst the other elders and the people but to me, he was nothing but a cunning old fool whose aim was to steal my father’s throne from me. I was done with him barking orders at me like he had control over me.

I made sure the discussions were as brief as possible, I couldn’t stand being in the same space as them.

“We need someone to oversee the preparation of the summit at the Crimstone pack and I suggest Lothar should do so, besides he’s the youngest member of the council,” Kazmir suggested.

“Kazmir, I order you to be in charge of every activity concerning the summit at the Crimstone pack and report every update to me daily,” I said.

“How dare you? I’m an elder and one of the oldest members of this council, you can’t do that,” he barked.

“It’s high time you make yourself useful other than looking for reasons to dethrone me,” I smirked.

He had no words to say other than grumble, my decisions were final, and nothing anyone would say or do to change it.
