Tristan's brow furrowed as he leaned closer. "What could that be?" his voice was laced with concern.Alpha Rylan began to pace the length of the waiting room in the clinic while Tristan watched every step he took keenly.Tristan's forehead was creased in deep lines. Waiting anxiously for him to speak. "Alpha, you're not saying anything. You're getting me worried. You can always tell me whatever it is," he pressed on.Rylan stopped pacing and then he let out a deep breath. "It's about Selene," he muttered."Selene?" Tristan's eyes widened in surprise. "I thought you had gotten over her. Come on man, it's been months since her death. And here you are feeling sad.""You don't get it," he said through gritted teeth. "Selene and Alpha Kieran committed an offence. Why was Selene punished and Kieran left alone like he was innocent?"Tristan shrugged. " I don't know." Then he rolled his eyes. "Why are you being so dramatic? Fine, I understand that you do not like Alpha Kieran. I may not have
Alpha Rylan narrowed his eyes to slits. "What do you mean?" He asked, his voice laced with curiosity.Kieran stood abruptly, the chair scraping harshly against the floor. A knowing smirk played on his lips as he exhaled slowly. "I am not the enemy," he said, looking sideways as if expecting someone to appear. "Just make sure you are not fighting the wrong person." With that, he turned and walked away. Leaving a trail of tension in his wake.For a moment he was startled by Kieran's words. He watched intently at the retreating figure of Kieran. He wanted to call him back and demand an explanation because he sounded vague, with no real details.And what does he mean by them being pawns in Vulcan's twisted games?The more he tried to understand the situation, the more confused he became, as if he were lost in a maze, trying to come out.The large hall was empty. He sank back into his chair trying to piece the puzzle together.Was Vulcan saying the whole truth about Selene? But he saw the
The room was gripped in silence as none of them could dare challenge him further. Vulcan was a dangerous man who shouldn't be questioned.Rylan knew it was a futile attempt to object to his orders. All eleven packs were struggling to survive. It's been a hard time for them all. Their resources were dwindling because they spent heavily on acquiring weapons to fight the rogues led by Luna Ravena. They were yet to recover from it A few months ago, when Ravena was still alive, she burned down some of their storehouses, which contributed to their heavy loss.In his pack, he lost prominent warriors to Ravena's attack, and three of their storehouses were burned to the ground. They had to survive by trading with other packs. But he had to say something. " Elder Vulcan," Alpha Rylan stood up. "I understand that you've been of great help to us all over the years. You were able to destroy our common enemy, Luna Ravena. I deeply appreciate your efforts. But what you're asking from us is too mu
Alpha Rylan's eyes burned with anger, and he could not contain the shimmering rage beneath him. He balled his hands into tight fists and slammed them hard on the wooden table.All the Alphas shifted their attention to Rylan, and Vulcan raised an eyebrow almost touching his hairline. The atmosphere in the room became tense and filled with animosity."I know you're a lowlife with no morals," Alpha Rylan hissed. "But the least you could do, Kieran, is to apologize for your lateness."Alpha Kieran's face became a tight frown, and then with a smug expression on his face, he glared at Rylan. "Why are you so worked up? You owe no right to dictate to me!"Rylan felt a surge of rage within him. Instantly, he shot up from his chair, pushing it backward forcefully which made a scratching sound on the cold floor. He pointed his index finger at him, his eyes flashing in anger. "You bastard. If it were left for me, you wouldn't be allowed in here after everything you did to Selene!"Kieran sprang
When Alpha Rylan rode into the pack centre that afternoon, the sun was high in the sky and bathed the land in long golden rays. A few nearby villagers took notice when his horse’s hooves clattered on the stone walkway. Immediately after he dismounted, a young boy approached him, firmly grasped the reins, and bowed respectfully to Rylan. Rylan gave the boy a quick nod and said, “ Thank you.” Before making his way to the council hall. Unlike most of the time, he was late for the meeting. He never wasted time. He was always the first to arrive and was a disciplined man. But today did not go according to plan. Tristan had kept him waiting and the unexpected appearance of the wounded wolf in the pack had also caused him to be late. He had lost valuable time because of the delay. For a moment he thought about the wounded wolf again. Although the wolf’s wounds had been treated, they would take time to heal because he had barely survived the attack. He had to know who had attacked the w
In a large plush chair, Selene sat. It was a dark wood chair with a plush green cushion. It was pleasant to sit there. She was holding an ancient book. The pages of the thick book felt rough to the touch. It was a law book. This book contained a lot of regulations. The words were difficult for Selene to read. She was curious about the operations of the wolf pack. She was curious about all the guidelines that kept them secure and resilient. It was peaceful in the study room. The room was filled with tall bookcases. They were crammed with books. Some books were large while others were small. Some had vibrant covers, while others had faded, ancient-looking covers. The study's air had the scent of fresh wood and old paper. A small amount of sunlight entered through the tall window. On the wooden floor, it formed a small square. Tiny dust particles danced in the air. She couldn't help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction with the event of the previous night. The ritual was successfu
