Five Kage Summit Novels & Stories

The Continental Alpha Summit was held at Silverpeak Resort, a sprawling complex built specifically for supernatural gatherings. Neutral territory, heavily warded, and large enough to house two hundred Alphas plus their entourages without anyone getting too territorial. In theory. In practice, tensions were already running high before we even arrived. “I count fifteen packs who were present at your rejection,” Maya said, reviewing the attendee list as our convoy approached the resort. “Twenty-three Alphas who witnessed it directly, not counting Kaden.”

With a new task at hand, I am brought new hope that this will end soon. *** 21.3 - Patience Erebus - Summer of 1995 - Shadow Clan ‘Report,’ my voice cracks through the link. ‘Sire, we have good news,’ the high priest states. ‘Spit it out!’ ‘Sire, Kage has succeeded in casting a simple summoning spell. He brought forth a feather from the mainland.’ ‘At the age of 20, I would expect better from him.’ ‘We apologize, our King. He is learning quickly but unfocused.’

Killian entered from the other. Neither man looked at the other. And Killian refused to look at me. The tension between them filled the room. It made the torches flicker. Only five people knew the truth. Killian. Silas. Tanya. The healer. And me. One word could turn this peaceful meeting into a massacre. “The Blood Summit begins,” the High Councilor announced. His voice echoed through the hall. “We will settle the dispute between Silver Crest and Midnight Moon. Alpha Silas, state your final terms.”

Kage said as he walked over to my mother, concern and if I’m not mistaken, triumph, visible in his face and voice. So that was his main goal. That is why he did all of this. To make my parents see that Hunter wasn’t meant for me, that he was just a small hiccup, but him, Kage, he was the prize. He was to be my mate no matter what. “I’m ready to take Hailey and keep our Pack alliance strong, Luna and Alpha.” Kage continues, his proposition starting to look so much more appealing to my parents as based on their pleased faces.

I sighed, in response. "What's our move from here?" Kaine suddenly asked, to break the awkward silence that had fallen over the room. King Carl brushed his blonde hair out of his face and nodded. "Right, business. I suggest we hold an Alpha Summit. I've already called and made the arrangements. My brothers will be attending, along with The Alpha and Lunas from the territories and representatives from the tribes of Werepanthers, Foxes, Reptilians and Bear Packs. I don't know if they'll all attend and be willing to discuss things. However, we can discuss things fully there and come up with a game plan. I set the date for two days after your ascension ceremony."

Everything he did so far waas to follow his superior’s orders. When the Kamikakushi members reached the summit of the mountain, many of them were taken aback when they saw the devastating scene. The whole scene can only be described as tragic. It looked like hell on earth; the air was thick with blood and smoke, and there were scorched corpses everywhere. “Are they all dead?” Takahashi looked at the scene in front of him. It took a while before he recovered from his shock. “Search for that Celestial Empire's Demigod now! Bring him to me, dead or alive!”

“Then what?” “Then I break the curse another way.” He looked at me. “Blood bonds override witch leashes. But it has to be full. Not claim. Consummation.” My stomach dropped. “You mean—” “The wedding is tonight for a reason,” he said. “The King knows. He’s using you to force my hand. He needs the bloodline healed before the Summit. He needs me tied down.” “Summit?” “All packs meet in five days,” he said. “They’ll challenge the Duskbane line. They smell weakness. A prince who rejects the Goddess. A King with no heir. Unless the Butcher takes a mate and produces a secured bloodline.”

Kael didn’t hesitate. “We act before she fully awakens.” A murmur of agreement followed. Low. Dark. Building. “We strike at the summit.” That changed everything because the Grand Summit was sacred ground. Neutral. Untouchable. “Breaking summit law means war,” someone warned. Kael’s expression didn’t change. “We are already heading toward war.” A pause. “This just determines who starts it.” Silence stretched because they all understood. “We form an alliance,” the elder Alpha said. “Not packs.”

“Caterina knows this and can’t see why he would murder a Helseth Luna if he is Fated to one of their own.” The look on Kai’s face is unreadable, but he simply nods and walks back upstairs. We all look at one another with the exact same thoughts running through our minds: The Convergence of the Five is supposed to show unity, but what happens to that when we’re all standing on the brink of an all-out war with packs from another country?

If she hadn’t seen the fire in his eyes before when Mira had touched Jace’s arm, she might believe it. Later, as Dayce toured the outer compound, she pulled Lena aside. “I’m told there’s a Summit gathering scheduled tomorrow,” she said quietly. “Is this confirmed?” “Yes. Calder’s hosting representatives from two border packs and one healer envoy. The agenda includes tactical review and shared resource negotiations.” Dayce nodded in understanding. “Public, or closed?” Lena watched her closely, trying to find clues to what the observer thought so far. “Public. But limited. Rank-based access.”
