Chapter:-7

"Mother! This is an emergency!" Everyone titled their head around her. All of them, except Ash and his colleagues were staring at her irritably. Clare frowned at the inappropriate behavior of her daughter.

"Ally Celly. I acknowledged that you are my daughter but your actions are highly inappropriate. Give some respect to me as the head Consul. Your concern will be dealt with later." Clare was supposed to continue her speech, as if Ally didn't interrupted the program when she interrupted once again.

"You don't understand! The L.A headquarter was attacked!" This time Ally had gotten the attention of the whole Clan present. Everyone was stiff as a board and it seems breathing was very hard to do. Clare narrowed her eyes as she looked at her daughter dangerously.

"Ally, if this is a joke better take it back right now!" Her voice was lower than her usual that made everyone shivered. While Ally just ignored her reaction and scoffed at her.

"Huh! Do you think I would joke about this? I-"Suddenly she was interrupted when she heard another voice spoke behind her.

"Your daughter is right, Clare. The L.A headquarter was attacked." Everyone looked at the owner of the voice but all they could see was a man who was covered in white robes and had a hood in his head. Clare widened his eyes when she recognised the man and gave Jones a silent, knowing stare. Jones stared back at him and nod. Clare coughed to get the attention of everyone and she succeeded.

"Clan meeting is going to commence. Everyone, to the Clan Room!" Ash flinched when she heard the urgent announcement of the Clan. He never wanted to be in that room. He felt he was going to suffocate with the judgmental looks his other clam members gave on him. Sure, all his life he hid in the background, making them believed as if he never existed. But he never liked that he was being treated as if he didn't exist not because he did it purposely. He hated how they degraded him because of his own preference. Especially if in the first place his father disowned him because of it.

But he knew he had no choice in the first place. As a White Wolf's Clan member and an adult one it was his job to attend and participate in Clan meetings. He noticed everyone except his group had started to go back at the place. Fear and anxiety written all over their faces. He felt a tap in his shoulder and turned to meet Ally gaze on him.

"Ash, we need to go to the Clan room now." Ash groaned, annoyance written in his face.

"Do we really have to?" He whined while Ally smiled sadly at him.

"We need to, Ash. You know that. But don't worry, I'm here." She reached for his hand and gave it a squeezed to give him support. Ash sighed in defeat and inhaled deeply to calm his nerves.

"Fine. Seth and Team" He called his two friends and they turned to him.

"Take care of my two idiot siblings." Simon and Rose groaned in annoyance and gave him a deadly glare that made Ash chuckled.

"You don't have to hire someone to babysit us my dear brother, especially not our loved ones. I think it would be the exact opposite. I should be the one protecting these three, after all, I am the best wolf bin our batch" Ash rolled his eyes at the cockiness of his adopted brother Simon.

"Whatever. Just take care guys. Let's just meet at the second floor-"

"No way!" Rose suddenly intercepted before he could give more instructions.

"Rose, what?"

"We're not going back to the headquarter. Its holiday right now and we're commemorating the anniversary! I don't really care if there's an emergency right now but we for sure is going to take this break! But, we need to prepare to our raid for tonight."

"Tonight? What's going on?" Rose smirked at her that made him shivered. He really didn't like this aura of his sister. It seems she had planned something evil against him.

"We'll talk later brother, if you don't want to be late at the meeting."

"You guys better had a valid reason for not attending to the headquarter today."

"Oh, don't worry, we will. And we will file a report explaining our plan for tonight and that we didn't need to be at this horrible building all the time. We'll just head into your apartment and we'll meet there. "Rose said as he stepped towards him and hug him tightly. Ash somehow felt her comfort with those pair of arms hugging him. After a minute Rose stepped back as his group, especially Simon shared a knowing look at him. He nodded and forced himself to smile to reassure his friends.

"But Team and Seth I was serious with what I said earlier." Seth and Simple n gave him a gentle smile and both nodded to him. "Will do, Ash."

"Let's go?" Ally asked once again and this time, Ash went to the Clan room with her.
