Chapter 5

Williams POV

 

"Age has not caught up with you one single bit Williams." Logan said, the moment I entered the council.

 

"What are you doing here Logan?" 

 

"Isn't my brother happy to see me?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

 

"Don't you dare speak of me as your brother again. I am no brother to a disgrace like you." I responded and he laughed like a maniac.

 

"Do you think I care what you think about me?" He asked. "Anyway, that discussion would be for some other days. I demand to know why my lands are being forcefully taken away from me."

 

"You don't have a land here Logan. You are a rogue and so are the pathetic people you call minions."

 

"They are not minions, they are people that your stupid Alphas have sent out of their pack. I am their leader and they look up to me." I stared at him for a moment and slowly made my way down from the throne to meet him.

 

"What happened to you Logan? You were never like this. As brothers we used to travel the world, enjoy the brightest view, go to the greatest parties. We are now strangers and worse of all enemies."

 

 

"You became my enemy the moment you supported father in is decision to hand over the throne to you. We both know that I am the legitimate son of father and you are the son of a whore that he slept with on one of his random nights." 

 

I chose to remain calm because I have heard a whole lot from Logan. 

 

"I understand hate for my mother, but what makes you even think for a split second that you are fit to be king. I would really like to know what you have done for this kingdom before you created your own path and started calling yourself King of the Rogues." 

 

He remained silent.

 

"You never went with father for all council meetings. Indeed we had a good time, but when it comes to my work, we both know that I try as much as I can to be committed, while you keep up with your lazy attitudes."

 

 

The silence that now took over was a tensed one and I could see that my hard hitting truth has really struck a nerve inside of him.

 

"You address everything else but the main point; I am supposed to be the Alpha King and father flaunted the ancient rules of the pack to put you in this position. I want you to have it at the back of your mind brother, when the time is right people would see you for what you truly are...." 

 

 

He paused and from his eyes, I could tell what he was about to say. My wolf was eager to take over before those words would leave his lips.

 

"People would see that you are the son of a whore!" He screamed the word in my face and my claws came out. 

 

He also had his claws out and the tension in the room became beyond palpable. I did not want to make the first move.

 

I did not want to make any move at all because I knew the implications. 

 

"I would let your words slide for today. I want you to get out of my mansion and my pack. If I ever see you or your rogues on sight, I promise to wipe every single one of you from existence." 

 

"There is nothing you can do because we both know that even though you have a powerful wolf living inside of you, the Alpha King is no experienced war lord." He finished off and walked out of the council.

 

 

I returned back to my throne and take my seat, contemplating on the words that has just been thrown around by me. 

 

Logan is known for playing mind games and getting reactions out of people, I am certain he has gotten the reaction he needs from me.

 

"You look disturbed Alpha." I turned around and Justin stood by the door.

 

"Logan is becoming a very big problem to me."

 

"I think it is time you declare the war on all rogues. We cannot have these menace disrupting the peace of the kingdom. Everyone is looking up to you." Justin revealed, after he had stepped forward to face me.

 

 

"Defeating Logan and his minions is not as easy as you will make it sound. If I take any actions now Logan will see reasons to ascend the throne." I explained to him.

 

"But that is not true. None of the Alphas would accept Logan as the Alpha King." 

 

"Logan doesn't need their support. He can make himself King even when the people don't want it."

 

There was a brief silence, before Justin cleared his throat.

 

"I think it's time to start rallying every pack soldiers across all the packs and start preparing for war. I have seen what you can do with your wolf my King. Your wolf is called the pet of the moon goddess for a reason. He has the strength to engage in combat and win easily."  He explains.

 

"Justin, I will find another way out of this situation." From my tone he could tell that I did not want to talk about it again. "By the way I asked you to watch over the Luna."

 

"She is reading a book in the library."

 

The door opened and Derek entered the room and from his breath I could tell that something was wrong.

 

"The library is in flames."

 

"Maya!" I said in realization and rushed out of the council, following Derek till we arrived at the library section.

 

The soldiers were trying to put out the fire when we arrived.

 

"Where is Maya?" I asked, growling at Derek.

 

"She is inside the flames." He shoved him aside and walked towards Justin, pinning him to the wall, as I allowed my wolf to take over.

 

"I asked you to take care of her." He was struggling to breath but I could care less because I want to kill him.

 

"My King look," I turned around to the burning library and stare in disbelief as Maya walks out of the fire alive and without a single bruise.

 

 

"Impossible." I said in disbelief.
