    Chapter 207


    Raizel steps beside me, slipping his arm around my waist. He drops a kiss to my forehead before.


    leading us inside. I try to search for anything in our bond, his feelings arepletely open to me. 1


    don’t sense anything from him. Either he was excellent at keeping a facade or he simply didn’t think


    much of this at all. Regardless, it helped me calm down. We reached the entrance just in time as the


    door creaks open.


    It’s Opal who greets us, sending us a small smile as she wordlessly walked us to the conference room.


    Noah, Isaac, Weston and Emersong behind, looking around on high alert as they silently make note


    of our surroundings. Meredith and Raizel’s parents stayed behind. The two Locksworth’s had made


    their way back to Ignis Red to keep watch for the duration of our time here.


    The power from all the Alphas being in the same area put everyones wolves on edge; almost tense to


    the point their muscles bulged out in preparation in case something happens. Even Noah himself


    hardly said a word since we set out for the Capital. He didn’t bother bicker with Weston either which in


    itself, was a surprise.


    Walking down the corridor, Raizel and I step into the conference room, immediately catching the eyes


    of everyone inside. Williams is sat at the center of the wide wooden table, his face grim and hard as his


    brown eyes scanned the room. Elizabeth sat beside him, her face more weary than I anticipated.


    There’splete silence.


    So silent you’d hear a pin drop. The gravity in the room was thick- heavy with trepidation. It was the


    perfect setting for a fight to break out. One wrong move could quite possibly trigger aggression from


    anyone. My wolf was on alert, not liking the way how some gazes felt. More specifically, Nightwake


    gazes.


    I sensed them before I evenid my eyes on them.


    Hestia sat beside my mother, their hands intertwined as my father stood.


    Her face was pale, blue eyes hollow and sunken in. Her blonde hair in a half-hearted ponytail and the


    hand mark around her pale neck was evident enough that what they’ve used of Landon was true.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Somehow I still couldn’t believe it. Had someone told me this would happen four years ago, I’d never


    believe it. The stress of pregnancy and the current situation shows in her expression. The way her


    posture was loose, shoulders hunched forward and head tilting down. Still, I turn from her and look at


    Williams. He nods at us, gesturing to the seats. Silently Raizel and I sat down, taking note how the


    Alphas in the room all stared at the marks at our necks. The power shift is almost incredible. One


    minute no one is saying anything and now, a secondter everyone is whispering amongst themselves.


    “Landon Walker is in detainment as you all know.”


    Williams looks at me before shifting his gaze to the rest of the Alphas. All conversations cease as they


    listen to him.


    “There’s a question of his capabilities as Alpha. The assault on Luna Walker and his recent…actions”


    He emphasizes the word, obviously hinting at the brawl between Raizel and Landon. There’s no


    question that word had spread. Everyone in this room knew of what happened. There’s simply no way


    no one knows about it. Something as big as that would definitely make it far across wolf territory.


    “-Have led to a dispute of whether he is worthy of keeping the title. You’re called here to set a vote, to


    discuss what should happen to Nightwake. The pack involved is here to offer their own ideas. Should


    any Alpha in this room make a challenge, it will be discussed after casting vote.”


    Chapter 267


    I nce over to the group sitting with behind Hestia. Familiar faces stare back at me with what seems


    to be desperation. Desperation for what, I’m not so sure. Surely they don’t expect me toe and save


    them, do they? Nightwake couldn’t possibly think I was going to involve myself willingly.


    “Beta Dixon is here to speak for Alpha Walker.”


    Benicio steps forward, his eyes never straying from mine. I can feel it deep in my bones that he’s about


    to start something. I see it in the way his eyes glint against the light in the room. Before he even opens


    his mout h, I brace myself for what he’s about to say.


    Though honestly, nothing could’ve prepared me for what he’d say next.


    “The Alpha’s actions was due to the fact his mate was taken from him. His rightful mate, Alpha


    Crestfield, mated with another. It’s because of this that the Alpha has been acting out. As a pack, we’ve


    made our decision to best solve this problem.”


    He looks at me. Steely blue eyes stare with no hint as to what he was feeling. The hardness in his gaze


    remind me of who he is, what he did, and why I should never follow in his footsteps. Even with these


    two pairs of eyes identical to one another, we werepletely different.


    In no way were we simr.


    “We demand our rightful Luna back.”


    Everything happened all at once.


    Sounds of horror echo in the room- screams, shouts, horrified attempts to calm the raging Alpha in


    front of everyone’s eyes broke the strained silence. In a matter of seconds Raizel had thrown himself


    over the table, knocking down his chair to the ground with a loud thud, his dark eyes zing with


    unadulterated anger as he held my father’s throat in a tight fist. A warning, progressively loud growl


    pulls from between his teeth. Veins adorned his neck, his body heaving with unrestrained fury that


    made all the Alphas in the room stand with rm.
