037: The Council Vote

Author: Monday Luisa
last update publish date: 2025-12-16 14:02:25
The council chamber was in neutral territory two hundred miles north of Seattle in a building that looked like it had stood for centuries.

Sage gripped Kade’s hand as they walked inside. Her stomach was tight with nerves. Morning sickness had been brutal but she had forced down dry toast before they left.

Twelve regional Alphas sat in a semicircle. Older wolves, powerful, traditional. Most of them had already made up their minds before hearing evidence.

Victoria stood at the front. “This c

    The bullet hit the ceiling. Marcus had aimed high deliberately. Warning shot.“Everyone down!” Cole yelled.Wolves scattered. Some shifted. Some dove for cover. Marcus’s rebels blocked the exits.Sage moved in front of Kade’s wheelchair. “What do you want, Marcus?”“What I’ve always wanted. Control.” He walked further into the room. Blood dripped from a wound on his shoulder. He looked half-dead but still dangerous. “Thought I’d let you vote? Choose your future? That’s not how this works.”“The vote is pack law,” Victoria said. She’d been observing from the side. “You can’t just—”“I don’t care about pack law. Or the council. Or any of this.” Marcus gestured with his gun. “I’m taking what should have been mine from the start.”“You lost,” Kade said from his wheelchair. “Your rebellion failed. Accept it.”“I lost because you cheated. Because she cheated.” Marcus pointed the gun at Sage. “Half-blood bitch who shouldn’t even exist. And you let her lead.”“Lower the weapon,” Victoria comm

    Sage’s white wolf launched at Marcus before anyone could react.She hit him hard. They went down in a tangle of fur and teeth. She got her jaws around his shoulder and bit down until she tasted blood.His wolves moved in. Fifty of them surrounding her.She didn’t care. Kade was chained behind her dying and she’d tear through all of them to save him.Marcus threw her off. She hit the cave wall. Stunned.He shifted to human. Grabbed the silver knife. “Bad decision.”She shifted back. Gasping for air. “Let him go.”“No. I think I’ll kill you both. Right here. Right now.” Marcus walked toward her. “But you first. Make him watch.”He raised the knife.Then the cave entrance exploded.Not literally. But it felt like it. Wolves poured in. Fifty of them were wearing council colors.Victoria at the front. “Stand down, Marcus!”“You tracked me.” Marcus spat. “Of course you did.”“Sage warned me about your attack. About everything.” Victoria’s voice was cold. “You’re under arrest for treason aga

    Sage’s miracle came from an unexpected place.One of the imprisoned wolves was a female named Rachel. Mid-thirties. Quiet. Had been in the cage for two weeks.She waited until the guards changed shift at three AM. Then whispered to Sage. “I can pick locks.”“What?”“The silver chains. I can pick them.” Rachel held up a small wire hidden in her hair. “But I need time. And a distraction.”Sage looked at Kade. He was barely conscious. The silver poisoning was affecting him worse than her. He’d been shot with silver bullets too recently. His body couldn’t handle more exposure.“How long?” Sage asked.“Ten minutes per lock. There are four of us. Forty minutes total.” Rachel looked at the guards. “Can you distract them that long?”“I’ll figure it out.” Sage touched Kade’s face. “Stay with me. Just a little longer.”He mumbled something. His skin was gray. Fever burning through him.She started screaming. “Help! He’s dying! Please, someone help!”The guards came over. “Shut up.”“He’s having

    The first week in Montana was hell.Everyone was assigned jobs. Kade worked construction building new cabins. Sage ran the medical clinic treating injuries and illness. Cole managed security rotations. Beth helped in the kitchens.They were prisoners pretending to be guests.Alpha Marcus ran the sanctuary like a military camp. Rules for everything. Wake at dawn. Training from six to eight. Work assignments until five. Dinner. Lights out at ten.No phones. No internet. No contact with the outside world.Sage felt suffocated.She was treating a wolf with a broken arm when Dana came in. “We need to talk. Privately.”Sage finished the cast and followed Dana outside. They walked to the edge of the compound where guards couldn’t hear.“What’s wrong?” Sage asked.“Everything. This place is wrong.” Dana looked around nervously. “Wolves are disappearing. Three in the past week. Marcus says they broke rules and got sent away. But I don’t believe him.”“Sent where?”“Nobody knows. They just vani

    Sage shifted back into her naked human form. “Now you know.”“How many of you are there?” Sarah asked. Her voice was barely a whisper.“Thousands. All over the world. We have existed alongside humans for millennia.” Sage put her clothes back on. “We’re not a threat. We just want to live in peace.”“People need to know. The government…”“They will panic, hunt us and probably start a war.” Kade stepped forward. “Is that what you want? Mass hysteria? Military hunting civilians? Because that’s what happens if you expose us.”Sarah picked up her gun. Put it in her holster with shaking hands. “I have evidence. Lab results. Video. I can’t just ignore it.”“You can if you want to prevent bloodshed.” Victoria spoke up. “Detective, there are supernatural councils that maintain peace between species. Exposure laws exist for a reason. To protect both sides.”“Species?” Sarah looked sick. “What else exists? Vampires? Demons?”“Many things you don’t want to know about.” Victoria moved closer. “Let

    They had twelve hours to pack before the convoy left for Montana.Sage stood in the penthouse looking at everything they’d built. Furniture, photos, a life, all of it being abandoned.She grabbed a duffel bag and started throwing in clothes, medical supplies, basically things she couldn’t replace.Kade was in his office destroying documents. Anything that could connect the pack to supernatural activity. Bank records, pack registries, communications with other Alphas.“The clinic,” Sage said. “We can’t just leave it.”“Jenny will run it. She is human, Sarah can’t touch her.” Kade fed another stack of papers into the shredder. “I have transferred funds to an account in her name. Enough to keep it operating for years.”“What about the asylum wolves?”“They are coming with us, all of them.” He stopped shredding and looked at her. “Everyone who wants sanctuary gets it. No one gets left behind.”By dawn they had twenty vehicles packed. One hundred wolves ready to leave. Some were crying, th

    Kade was back on his feet after two weeks and the first thing he did was accept David’s offer. Twenty wolves from the former Crescent Pack swore loyalty to him in the main chamber. David knelt first, then the others, one by one pledging their lives to Seattle pack. “Welcome,” Kade said when the

    Dana couldn’t stop shaking even though she was safe now. She sat in the pack den with Lisa and Marc while Sage examined their injuries, old scars, fresh bruises. A lifetime of abuse visible on their skin. “This one is infected,” Sage said touching the cut on Dana’s shoulder. “How long have you h
