At the appointed time, the members of Pentagon were already seated in the conference room, ready for the meeting the grand alpha scheduled for six o'clock. The room was brightly lit and sparsely furnished. There was a big screen, a huge table was at the middle having the shape of a Pentagon and five seats surround the edges, one for each member. Calvin came in less than a minute past six and he was glad that everyone was seated. Being the grand alpha, his elevated seat was at the edge. Standing by the entrance, Calvin took a cursory look at the four present. He observed how they sat so stiffly and he did not fail to notice their expensive attires. Even Rufus had a distinctive robe on. Calvin looked down at himself to compare his clothes with theirs. He was wearing a black denim jeans and a black jacket which he wore over a white shirt. Compared to everyone else, he was dressed unceremoniously. Even his black sneakers was the type that would make anyone look at them twice. They we

Calvin felt his wolf swelling with pride inside him but he personally wasn't feeling it. Things couldn't be so simple. If Adolphus so much coveted the position of Grand Alpha, it was possible others did too. There were surely other werewolves that were power hungry and wanted to take over the reigns of authority. He cast his gaze on each of the members of the Pentagon. Rufus didn't like being controlled by anyone. He was the type that would always want to be in charge. Then there was Lucille who always carried this air of authority about her. From what he had seen, these two loved to be in charge. "What are you going on about?" Calvin's wolf grumbled in his head. "The Pentagon is loyal. Stop giving yourself reasons not to trust them."Calvin smiled half-heartedly. It wasn't his fault that he had lost trust in people. In the past, he had seen how far people could go to attain absolute power and it never ended well.While Calvin was busy with his own thoughts, so was everyone else. Fo

The meeting at the Pentagon lasted till about four in the morning. By this time, everyone was already exhausted. While Lucille was obviously looking tired, Mark could barely keep his eyes open and Rufus didn't even try. Calvin was rounding up the meeting when they heard Rufus' snores. "Alright. I think I've taken too much of your time" Calvin said, standing up. Phiri hit Rufus' arm, making the big man jump as he was startled. He groaned and complained about being very tired. Phiri tried not to laugh at how quickly Rufus went back to sleep."Are we to meet again later in the day before addressing the people?" Lucille asked. "Absolutely" Calvin answered her with a nod.With that, he ended the meeting and permitted everyone to go get some rest. The floor had several rooms and Calvin realized that he was yet to take a tour of the building. He made a mental note to do that some other time.When everyone else had left the conference room, Phiri led him to a huge bedroom which obviously b

When Phiri was sure that the others were already awake, she finally left the room she had slept in and joined them at the lounge. The smell of food hit her nose as soon as she got there. She was about to ask where the smell of food was coming from but then she spotted Rufus lying flat on the floor, looking sick. "What...?""He's suffering from a hangover" Mark informed her from where he was sitting. "He had more than a bottle last night.""Oh" Phiri nodded in understanding. "Good Morning" Mark greeted her and she responded, smiling halfheartedly."You don't look so good either" Phiri heard Lucille's voice from behind her and when she turned, she saw that it was the woman who was eating so early. "Lucille's right" Mark seconded. "You look pale.""She always looks pale" Rufus managed to say. "Why not focus on getting better, Rufus?" Lucille asked him. "Goodness! I can't believe that even Calvin has more tolerance for alcohol than you do.""Stay out of my business, Lucille" Rufus war

The sun was already setting by the time it was six and the people were getting impatient. Adrian had managed to push his way through the crowd that he was now almost at the front. He did that because he needed to hear everything that would be said. Unlike all the werewolves present, he didn't have super hearing ability, so there was no way he would have heard anything from the back. With the hoodie covering his face, he tucked his hands into his pocket, waiting for the Pentagon to come out.The sun had almost disappeared from the sky when the Pentagon made a grand entrance. With two alphas flanking him on each side, the grand alpha made his way out of the building and stood a good distance away from the people. Adrian raised his head to look at Calvin. He looked so different from how he looked on the night of the festival. His look commanded deep respect and he was exuding a frightening aura. Adrian had been in the same room as Roman, but he never felt this way with him. Calvin was
