Chapter 94
Xander
Chas left, no matter how much I stopped her. I can’t blame her; it was her mate that she was going to see as well, and they were going to talk about an important issue. Although I didn’t like Silas at all, I agreed with her when she said that he was not going to harm her. But I couldn’t help but feel worried about her safety, too, because Silas is a vampire, and I wonder why he has not rejected her yet. Is it because he wanted her as well? I shake my head thinking about it, but I trusted Sims and Allie that they would not let anything bad happen to their Alpha and Luna.
I cannot think of anything to do to get rid of the indecent thoughts that lingered in my head the moment Chas left, so I decided to watch the Warriors train instead. But on my way to the training ground, Limuel approached me,
“Alpha, the Alpha of the Frost Pack requested that you visit his pack.”
“Why would I visit his pack?” I asked. As much as possible, I didn’t want to leave my pack unless otherwise necessary. just like when Chas’s pack was attacked. I am also worried and concerned about the safety of my own pack and members, even if I have trusted Beta and Gamma to take charge in my absence.
“It seems that they were facing rogue attacks frequently.”
“What? Why didn’t we know about it?”
“They were too busy, and he just realized our alliance,” Limuel replied. “I want to shout and yell at him for that if only he’s not an alpha. How could he forget about the alliance? He even thought that it was only for the vampire.” he added, shaking his head. “So, are you going?” he asked.
“Of course! They needed my assistance. I am going to bring a few warriors as well. I’ll just have a look and see what happened. I want you to keep everything ready here just in case I might need you.” I replied, and he nodded. Then I went back to the pack house and started to get ready as well. After a couple of hours, I departed.
“Welcome, Alpha Xander.” Alpha Leo greeted me, offering his hand for a shake, which I respectfully took when he welcomed me on the porch. “Thank you for accepting my invitation,” he added.
“I cannot ignore it when it is about the safety of your pack. We are an allied pack, and it is only right to be of help when you need it.” I replied. “My beta told me about the attack, but he didn’t elaborate.”
“Yes, please follow me to my office, and I’ll tell you what happened.” He replied, so we went inside the pack house and went straight to his office, leaving my warriors outside. They know what to do and do not need to be instructed. His office exuded an air of authority and strength, mirroring his commanding presence as a leader. Situated on the highest floor, it commanded a strategic view of the surrounding territory, a symbol of the alpha’s vigilance and protective nature. I personally didn’t want to take visitors in the pack as if they were touring the entire pack house just by going to my office, so mine was on the second floor. Although I thought being on the top floor had an advantage,
The door, crafted from sturdy oak, bore the pack’s emblem-a symbol of unity and loyalty-intricately carved into its surface. As we entered, the room unfolded into a space that seamlessly blended functionality with an aesthetic that reflected Alpha Leo’s status.
The walls, painted in deep earth tones, showcased a mix of ancestral tapestries and modern awards. Each piece held significance, narrating tales of triumphs, challenges, and the enduring legacy of the pack. Bookshelves lined with leather-bound tomes and ancient scrolls flanked one side of the room, revealing the alpha’s commitment to knowledge and wisdom.
A large, intricately carved wooden desk served as the centerpiece, its surface neatly organized with maps, reports, and correspondence. He must have been strategizing on the defense since they have been frequently attacked. A polished brass nameplate proudly displayed the alpha’s title, a reminder of the responsibilities carried out with dignity. Behind the desk, a high-backed leather chair spoke of authority and comfort, where the alpha would contemplate decisions that shaped the fate of the pack.
On the opposite side of the room, a hearth adorned with the pack emblem crackled with a warm fire, offering a stark contrast to the calculated precision of the office. The plush seating arrangements, including a pair of upholstered armchairs and a small sofa, provided a comfortable space for meetings and discussions.
Soft, ambient lighting emanated from wrought-iron fixtures adorned with subtle wolf motifs, casting a warm glow that softened the room’s edges. The scent of aged leather, mixed with the earthy aroma of burning wood, permeated the air, creating an atmosphere that resonated with the alpha’s connection to both the natural world and the pack’s history.
Overall, the alpha’s office embodied a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, reflecting the balance required to lead a pack into the future while honoring the legacy of its past. I can tell that they have been doing well financially as well. Every pack has businesses that support them and what the members need.
Alpha Leo offered me a seat, so I did. “Alpha Xander, as you can see, the pack is doing well and prospering. But lately, rogues have started to attack us without saying anything. It was as if they only wanted to destroy everything that we worked hard for.”
“What do you mean?” I asked curiously.
“That’s it; they come to the territory and destroy everything in their sight. All the establishments within the pack were looted out and didn’t leave anything. Then the last one was when we were attacked. I’m thankful for all the squad members who were here. If they weren’t, I don’t know what damage they could have inflicted on us. Everyone was safe, but fear is very visible in every pack member.”
“So, are they gathering resources? But for what?” I asked, and he nodded.
“That’s what I thought too. They must have been planning something, and I didn’t want to get off guard again.”
“Alpha Chassy’s pack, the Silver Moon Pack, had been attacked by rogues and vampires at the same time,” I informed him.
“What! How could they do that? Does that mean that they formed an alliance against us as well? And how are Alpha Chassy and her pack?”
“She’s fine and was trying to get to the bottom of it. Though the former Gamma is in the pack hospital recuperating, He took the shot that was intended for Alpha Chassy.”
“We really shouldn’t be too complacent. If they formed alliances, then we should double our defense and the security of our packs.”
“I think we need to inform other packs about this; why don’t we call for a meeting?” I asked, “Rogues looting every pack is something we can’t ignore. Giving them enough resources will only lead to a greater problem and loss for us.” I continued, “It’s not about the money, but about the lives of every pack member.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“I agree. I thought I was the only one who was in this dilemma.”
“Let’s inform other alphas and schedule our meeting. But I want to do that discreetly; we can’t let those rogues find out about it.” I replied, and thankfully we are in the same boat. Rogues and vampires are difficult to deal with separately; how much more when they decide to join forces? I have to talk to Chas to know what Silas told her about the attack. If what we think is correct, then we need to prepare for a war.
