Chapter 66

Elders

" So what did he say Tom? "

I am seething with anger when I enter our meeting room " the little bastard, feels he can do as he pleases and speak to me, to us as he likes just because he's the King "

" Calm yourself Tom and refrain from saying such blasphemous words before someone hears you "

" Aaron, you always remain passive when it comes to him but you should know what he said about your daughter " I walk over to where he is seated watching us " he said that if he doesn't find his mate by the agreed time and takes your daughter as his mate it would be in name alone and he will never lay with her to consummate their marriage and no matter how many years later, if he meets his mate he will dethrone her for his true mate "

The bastard has the audacity to sigh " you guys were the ones to try and control him by means of Astrid and she is just too blind and stupid to see she is just a pawn being used by you who won't sacrifice your own daughters to a life of loneliness but used mine because you knew how she feels about him, if that is the life she has to live because of you lot then so be it because I have tried more than once to talk her out of it and she refused so what can I do? let her learn the hard way, I have already resigned myself to watch her suffer, I never wanted any of this, to force someone to be with someone other than their mate and I will remain on the sidelines on this matter, I didn't think it was right back then and don't think it's right now I just pray that the Gods don't include me when they smite you for simply being an Elder too "

He rises and heads towards the door " you don't know how much I pray my daughter meets her mate so she can finally come to her senses and let this foolishness go "

The door shuts with a hard bang and Three other Elders follow out after him, " Elder Tom perhaps Aaron is right, let us stop this pairing and let him continue to wait and look for his true Queen the kingdom will be stronger if it is ruled by true mates rather than chosen ones "

" SHUT UP " Elder Tom spat, we have planned for this for so long and now that we're so close you're looking to chicken out because of a few words from Aaron?! his birthday is soon, this mate has not shown up for the past Twenty Seven years what good does it do to continue wasting time looking and waiting, my best guess is she has already died by some means or the other or she's human and I will be damned if a mere human being rules over me "

" But Elder Tom, even if she's human being with him, she will transition once they mate and mark each other "

" It doesn't matter she will not be pure, not a pure Were Wolf, not a Pure Lycan, our heirs must be free of blemish, there would still be chances that she could give birth to a wolfless and a wolfless can not rule the Lycan and Were Kingdom , I think it's time we summons Ms. Astrid to come and stay at the palace"

" You know fully well we can't summon anyone without the Kings approval and we do not have a legitimate reason to summon her without first notifying him "

I pace back and forth racking my brain then it hits me " she has the Goddesses touch and foresight! and the King is having problems is he not? we are simply sending for her to be of assistance to the King with her gift of foresight, now go draft up and letter and send it to her and tell her to return as soon as possible to the palace as the King needs her "

After that meeting all the Elders dispersed returning to their homes.

Alpha King Tyler

" Okay everyone I have gathered you here because I have something I wish to discuss with you "

They all sit silently looking at me expectantly " I am sure that all of you here know of what transpired many years ago between our kind and the Reapers Nation " I look around and they all nod " good, I am of the belief that someone, somewhere has managed to rebuild or is rebuilding the Nation which is why all those packs and even here has had the attacks and abductions but what I have yet to figure out is what they're doing with the kidnapped wolves "

" Are you sure about this my King, I mean no disrespect but this sounds like a bit of a stretch "

" I understand your reservations, Cory can you bring Carson please and the vial "
