CARLYLE’S POV
The cavernous hall resonated with a palpable energy as I, the Alpha, entered. The solemnity of the
moment hung in the air, heightened by the presence of letters meticulously sent to the elders of
covens, diverse packs, and formidable groups. Today, they heeded my summons, an acknowledgment
of the power that pulsed through the veins of our gathering.
As the Alpha, my gaze swept across the assembly, noting the varied representatives who stood poised
in anticipation. The weight of responsibility settled on my shoulders, a mantle earned through battles
won and alliances forged.
With a deliberate motion, I had dispatched the letters, each one a call to arms, a summons to discuss
matters that reverberated through the supernatural tapestry that bound us. The elders, pack leaders,
and influential figures, all drawn to this ndestine meeting, carried the promise of unity in the face of
impending challenges.
The chamber, bathed in a dim, mystical light, became a tableau of authority and ancient ties. The
elders, guardians of esoteric knowledge, exchanged knowing nces. Pack leaders, each with their
own lineage and tales of conquest, awaited the unfolding disc
As the meetingmenced, my words echoed through the hallowed space, a promation of the
urgency thatpelled this assembly. The elders listened with a sagacious stillness, the packs with a
wolfish intensity, and the diverse groups with a collective awareness of the intricate web that bound us
all.
It was a moment where the disparate threads of power wove together into a formidable tapestry, and as
the Alpha, I presided over this gathering with the knowledge that our collective strength would be our
shield against the looming shadows that threatened our realm.
“I greet you all seated elders, and I am weing you to the Moon Shade Pack,” I began.
“Your presence here is so much appreciated.”
“It’s alright, Alpha Carlyle. But what did you gather us here for? You stated in your letter that it’s
something very important that can’t be dyed. What exactly is that thing?” The Vampire lord asked in
his very thick scary voice..
“Thanks for your question. If you read the letter properly, you would know that this
meeting is pertaining to the Canthrastras.”
“Yes, it was stated clearly.”
“As you all know that they are beings that have been locked up in thend of Aridah for a long time, but
recently it seems they now have a pathway that we had no idea about.”
“What do you mean by having a pathway? Aren’t they still in Aridah confined by the scall?”

“Of course, they are. But the seal is just there as a facade.”
I briefed them about what transpired when I went to the Land of Aridah myself.
“That’s incredible. Howe we never knew about this?” They questioned me, and I replied to them.
“It’s because they are very meticulous in their actions.”
“All these you said, how are we to know that it’s not just a take on your side?” The Alpha of Tersa pack
asked, and I smiled knowingly.
I and Donald looked at each other for a while, and I nodded my head for him to go bring the weapon
which was manipted to injure Donnie. In no time, he returned.
with it.
“Does anyone among us here recognize this?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“This is the motor of the Five Elements Grazer,” I announced, shocking everyone. They all had a look
of surprises on their faces.
“Do you mean that’s the Daseger?” Rex asked cautiously. He never expected it. Neither do I. No one
did. We had to find out about it in the archives. From what I and Donald read about it, the Dasegsr and
the Five element Grazer work hand in hand. Without one, the other wouldn’t work. Except if the person
who made it could unlock it powrs, dissolving the connection between the two materials.
“Yes, it is.” I announced and began to brief them about it since not everyone knew about it. Then, I
remembered Donnie’s words. History is sometimes not reliable as no one can
know it all.
“But how did you get it?” Rex wanted to know the details. To other Alphas, they thought he had only
been inquisitive but to me and Donald, we understood his concern.
“It was summoned by the White Dasier flower in some way I can’t exin yet. So, we need to find out
more about these people.”
“Okay, if you say that. You mean we should join hands together?”
“Yes, we should. In fact, we need to,” I corrected, my tone firm as I aimed to emphasize the urgency of
unity. “From my findings, they’re making some big ns. It’s no news what they did to our pack and
what they can do. We’ve all heard about them.”
“What’s in it for us?” someone inquired, skepticism evident in their voice.
“From my side, I made a proposition to Alpha Carlyle a few days back if you can recall. I stand on it
still,” Rex chipped in, his words carrying a calcted charm. A sly maneuver to further his own agenda,
trying to exploit the opinions of the seated elders to coerce me into a marriage alliance with his sister.
But I was not about to be manipted; I had my own game to y.
“Must you find gain in everything?” The vampire lord stood up, facing the crowd. His voice echoed
through the room, demanding attention.
“Those of us seeking gain can leave! While those of us that want to serve ournd and protect our own
should raise their hand,” the vampire lord dered at the top of his
voice.
The tension in the room thickened as everyone processed the ultimatum. The silence lingered, creating
a palpable anticipation as I studied the faces before me, waiting for the reactions that would reveal who
stood for self–interest and who stood for the collective defense of our realm.
“So, now. I’ll take that as a ‘yes‘ from everyone. We’re all in support of preparing for this battle.”
“Alpha Carlyle, I have something to ask. These people we’re talking about, we don’t know who they
really are. We know nothing about them? How are we going to counter them when the time finally
comes?”
“That’s a good question. I was privileged to fight with one of their squad and I know a bit about their
current strength.”
“That’s you, Alpha Carlyle. What about us? I remember you clearly saying we’re in this together.”
“Of course, we are in it together.”
“With respect to that, we’ll begin training sessions for every squad from each packs.”
“Isn’t that too far fetched?”
“Indeed, it is.”
“Then, what other options do we have?”
As the discussion unfolded, voices interweaving in a tapestry of opinions and strategies, the room
buzzed with a charged energy. Elders, warriors, and supernatural beings. engaged in a collective effort
to solidify the alliance against the impending threat. Ideas shed and melded, forming a mosaic of
perspectives, each contributing to the evolving strategy.
However, a conspicuous silence emanated from Alpha Rex. His silence, a calcted move, hung in the
air like a lingering mystery. While others voiced their concerns, proposed solutions, or shared insights,
Alpha Rex remained a poised figure, observing with a shrewd gaze.
The absence of his voice created a subtle tension, a void in the otherwise animated discussion. It
hinted at an unspoken agenda, a game being yed beneath the surface. As the deliberations reached
a conclusion, Alpha Rex’s silence stood as a question mark, leaving the people present to ponder the
what prompted his silence.
The alliance seemed united and concluded, but carried the undercurrent of unspoken intentions, setting
the stage for aplex dynamic in the face of the impending threat.
“We really have a long way to go still.”
“Alpha Rex, you’re not saying anything.” The grandwitch noted aloud.
“It’s..” Rex was about to speak when his devilish sister spoke up in his stead.
“My brother won’t say a word about all these except he marries me.” Rex’s jest of a sister said to my
amusement.
“What did you say?” I asked, thinking I didn’t hear her right.
“My brother won’t act until we get married.”
“How sure are you?” The vampire lord asked her and she kept mute without words to defend herself
anymore.
“Alpha Rex, is that true?” Another elder asked and he shook his head.
“No, it isn’t.” He shot Raina a death re. Raina wasn’tfortable with his words and wanted to strike
but she didn’t get the chance to say a word as every elder began to

“Anyway, I’ll be getting married soon. I announced to everyone’s delight but to Raina’s pain. Our gaze
met momentarily and she took her gaze off angrily.
The elders gave me a questioning look as to what I meant but I shrugged it off, only smiling.
“Not to her.” I said, and they understood.
