LOGIN~Damon~“How many warriors can we boast of?” I asked, glancing away from the maps to Xander. “A little over five hundred solid men. The rest can't last long. We can only add them up to make a large number.”“Jamie is calling for help from a neighboring pack. He's asking for more warriors. He’s really wishing to go to war with us,” Logan muttered, clenching. “What are his terms?” I asked. “None that we have heard of yet. He hasn't responded to our calls or messages.”“I need to meet him and try convincing him that this war is not the best for either pack.”“And if he insists?”I halted, Logan's question echoing in my head. “Send a message to him again. Tell him I will meet him at a location of his choice. And I'll come alone,” I said after a second of thought. Logan groaned in displeasure with my decision. “Are you not lowering your guard too much for that jerk? He could ambush you secretly. We can hold him to the war since it's what he wants!”“Better one man dead than hundreds–
~Aria~“Did you hear anything?” I asked Beatrice, pacing in the living room. Damon was still in meeting with the elders and it had been over three hours already. After Crescent Moon left, he immediately called for an emergency council meeting. Beatrice shook her head with a heavy sigh. “Nothing yet, my Luna.”I sighed exasperatedly, slumping into the sofa. “Trust in the Alpha, my Luna. He can handle this.”“But then, I wonder what would have happened if Lady Pat was truly poisoned. We'd all be cut down by sharp claws by now.”“Oh no, I can't imagine it!” she gasped, shaking her head dramatically. This was Elder Wraith's plan…this was exactly what he wanted…Stop the peace treaty and force the two Packs to go into war.But why…Why does he wish to ruin this pack by all means?Now it was clear why Damon looked at me murderously each time he saw me coming out of the meeting hall after speaking with his uncle.It was clear now…He hated me because I was chosen by his Uncle. Now I fe
~Aria~The hall erupted with sneers and snarls. Crescent Moon Pack Members snarling at Redmoon members. “What are you all waiting for! I said kill them all!” Jamie roared, gnashing his teeth. Damon’s face was hardened where he stood, rooted. Guards rounded him, each waiting for his instructions to fight or retreat. My heart broke a million times. “I'm sorry, Damon…I had to do it…” I sobbed quietly where I sat. “Wait!” A voice echoed from the door suddenly. The Healer of Crescent Moon Pack trotted inside. “Healer?” Jamie called surprised. “Why are you here?”“I was passing by and the moon goddess revealed to me what was going to happen here,” healer muttered. “Passing by?” Jamie scoffed in disbelief. “You are in cohort with them! Guards, arrest her!”“Do you wish to see your mother dead!” The healer growled. “Call your men to order and I will have a look at Lady Pat. Or would you rather watch her die when she had a chance to live?” Jamie sneered, his teeth clenching as he co
~Aria~Alpha Jamie leaned closer to me, his fingers lightly grasping my pendant.“Your necklace…where did you find it… it's rare and magnificent,” he uttered in admiration.It was the second day of the peace treaty renewal signing and we were standing in front of the ceremonial hall waiting for Lady Pat to join us. Last night, Jamie had suddenly left me in the gazebo after a guard whispered something in his ears. Something he didn't tell me as he hurried off but my sharp ears picked—his mother had just arrived at the Pack.The air shifted around me as his eyes strayed on my lips while he was still holding my pendant.My body tightened before I realised it and I could feel my pulse pounding in my throat.My wolf stirred, restless, pressing against my skin. Goddess knows I tolerated this lunatic’s flirting last night only because of the nature of his visit. And because Logan had personally told me Damon did not wish for him to be provoked in any way, and asked me to try my best to tol
~Damon~“Tomorrow morning? How would you convince Jamie?”“Wait and see,” I said, my lips curling upward.Then I counted. “One…two…three…and now!”I snapped my finger and the door burst open. “My Alpha, there's a new guest. Alpha Jamie's mother, Lady Pat is here,” the guard announced. Xander and Logan looked at me with a gasp.“Damon… How—”“Wait….was this the plan you mentioned?”“You really had the whole thing planned ahead!”“With a jerk like Jamie, you must think steps ahead,” I noted as I poured myself a whiskey. As I was studying Jamie, something had caught my eyes in Logan's report about him. Jamie was a well known jerk amongst many other rotten behaviors. But he was a filial son. Although not entirely by his own choice. But rumours had it he feared his mother more than anyone or anything. He would never disobey her orders. And the butter on the icing?The mother, Lady Pat, was good friends with my mother. I wasn't sure how strong her friendship and loyalty with my mother
~Damon~“They are here,” Logan whispered as Alpha Jamie and his entourage came into view.I stood in front of the Mansion’s main entrance gate with the elders. As the chief elder, my uncle stood beside me. He was particularly interested in this peace treaty renewal. Silver Fang’s peace treaty with my Pack came suddenly, and as a surprise to not just me but everyone. I could not discuss it with him beforehand. I could tell he was fuming inside when I announced it in front of not just him but the other elders as well. He could not show his fangs as there were many eyes watching. He liked to keep the appearance of the good Uncle helping his nephew to lead. “You must do all you can to ensure this renewal happens or else the foundation of this pack will be shaken and it will affect the future,” he'd told me last night when he visited alone. “How is your Luna…you must be getting along now,” he had said just before he left. All through the night, I could not stop thinking about what h
