เข้าสู่ระบบ~Vaelor~I snapped the laptop shut, collapsing back on my chair in fatigue.Running the pack virtually was surprisingly more tasking than being there in person.Despite the Gamma being in charge, every decision still had to go through me. My approval was a necessity.It was becoming hard keeping up with the pack and protecting Vie at the same time.It was even harder to convince Rhaeger of my whereabouts.He was starting to get suspicious.Apart from Olaine's dumb assassination plan, things were going well in Pure Moon.Rhaeger and Lyra have been quiet lately.The last thing Vie needed is to be attacked by assassins.Before their suspicion heightens, I might have to return to Blackthorn.“Alpha,” West suddenly came into view. “Today”s briefing on Luna Vixen, should it be skipped?”I frowned. “Why?”“Its already late and you look tired,” he explained.My frown deepened. “I'm never too tired to hear about my wife.”In fact, hearing about her activities was the best part of my day.He tu
~Vixen~For a second panic spread through me, but I quickly stood upright, straightening my shoulders.“You don't get to use that tone on me, Kael.” I narrowed my eyes. “You might have forgotten, but I'm not a member of Pure Moon.”His hardened face softened. “I didn't mean for it to come out that way. You just wouldn't listen and–”“I don't care to know your reason,” I cut him off. “If you invade my personal space again, you can kiss our deal goodbye.”He stepped back, his expression apologetic. “I just wanted to help.”I rolled my eyes in annoyance. “I am not sick, Kael. Get it into your head that I'm not sick. Whatever assumptions you come up with are false.”“But–”“Alpha?”Our heads both snapped to the new voice.Mitch.Thank the heavens.Kael groaned.“What is it?” He asked grumpily.“Your attention is needed at the pack border,” Mitch answered.“Give me an hour.”An hour?“Alpha, I wouldn't dare insist if it wasn't urgent.”He closed his eyes, rubbing his temple in contemplatio
~Kael~I finally figured it out.I knew what was wrong with Vixen.The incident yesterday at the meeting hall confirmed my suspicions.How could I have missed it?The loose clothes. The regular pills she took. Easily getting tired after standing for a short time.These only meant one thing.Vixen was ill.She was seriously ill.That was why her powers fluctuated during the meeting.We might not be close as before, but she could've informed me.“Alpha Kael,” Mitch's voice jerked me back to the present. “Your input is needed.”I blinked, confused. “My input? Needed on what?”“On the murder of two pack members in the woods. They're reportedly Abigail and Rachel of the Thien family.”Those names sounded familiar.“Its a simple case of a rogue attack,” I concluded.Mitch's expression showed he disagreed. “The killing pattern is different. And there was a seal that indicated–”I waved him off. “Old pattern. New pattern. Just rule it as a rogue attack.”I had more pressing matters to deal wi
~Vixen~Today's meeting was a closed door meeting.Only Kael, Elder Renel, the representative from Hilltop Pack and I would be present.If I could secure this deal, then I could bring in most of the southern packs to buy from Pure Moon.Hilltop Pack decisions influence most packs in the south.Getting them to agree to my terms won't be easy, but it was worth giving it a shot.The guards opened the door of the meeting hall, bowing.I acknowledged them with a slight nod, then stepped in.Immediately the representative from Hilltop also entered.Elder Renel and Kael were already seated.“You must be Lady Vixen,” the representative said with a polite smile. “I've heard great things about you.”“My reputation precedes me,” I returned the smile. “Unfortunately, I barely know you.”He brought out his pack ID. “Gamma Kevin of Hilltop.”“Nice to meet you Gamma Kevin.”He exchanged pleasantries between Kael and Elder Renel.“I think we should start, shouldn't we?” He inquired.“Of course.”We a
~Vaelor~The bright sun hung above the trees, golden light bleeding through the branches in broken streaks.“Alpha,” West's voice came out breathless from the phone. “I've been looking for you. I couldn't connect to the mind link.”I removed the protruding branch from my path, going deeper into the woods. “I'm in Pure Moon. I'll be back.”“But Alpha, the rogues–”“Have been taken care of,” I completed the sentence on his behalf. “Troops have been sent and they're no traces of invading rogues. I'm here to watch Vie then I'll return.”“The spies are on it. They're giving an hourly report.”He doesn't get it.Hearing about Vie and seeing her myself were two different things. I had to see her.“I’ll be back before sunset.” I hung up.The woods in Pure Moon were unnervingly silent despite the sun being out.No insects. No rustling reptiles. Even the wind seemed to crawl instead of blow, as though it was hiding from something.According to the map of Pure Moon, this path was a supposed shor
~Vixen~“Lady Vixen's presence assures me that this is the right choice. I hope this deal goes smoothly.” Mr Turner, a human, who surprisingly represented the Halloway Pack said.He stood up with a confident smile, bringing his hand for a handshake.What was it with humans and handshakes during business deals?I equally stood up, returned a fraction of his smile and shook his hand.“We'll do our best to make this deal a success.”Mr Turner gave the council members and Kael an acknowledging nod before he left, his security guard following behind him.I just closed a high profiled agricultural export between Halloway and Pure Moon.This wasn't just the previous small trade deal they had, but instead, Pure Moon was officially Halloway's permanent distributor of agricultural products.It was a big deal for the pack, and an even bigger deal for me.It means I was right. Pure Moon Pack was not dilapidated, it just needed a push in the right direction.And soon, the thriving pack will be und
