(Quame's POV)
While showering after training, I couldn't keep my mind off these senseless murders. Who would do such a thing and why? I hopped out of the shower and dressed in tan khakis and an orange button-up. I made my way to breakfast while my pack members greeted me. A young she-wolf approached me, "Good morning, Alpha," she greeted me sweetly. "Morning Tina, how's that pup growing?" I inquired. "Wonderful! I am due any day now!" She exclaimed in excitement. "Good! I can't wait to welcome our new member to the pack!" I responded. "We can't wait either, Alpha. Actually, I kind of wanted to talk to you about something," Tina stated shyly. "Sure, what's up? If it's serious, we can meet in my office if you like," I replied. "I was just wondering if, whenever I went into labor, maybe Mark could take a few days off of his warrior duties to be with me and the pup?" She questioned nervously. "That sounds reasonable; I don't see anything wrong with that. I will talk to Lonnie about it." I said. "Oh, thank you, thank you, Alpha! You're the best!" Tina exclaimed as she waddled out of the dining hall excitedly.
I sat down and ate my breakfast, having meaningless conversations with pack members. I wasn't entirely focused, since my mind was on the impending visit from the Elder's Council. I finished my breakfast and went to check on the Council preparations with our Head Omega, Fran. I walked into our colossal kitchen and saw her running around. Fran is like a mother to me. Sweet and kind but doesn't take too much s**t from people. I don't know what I would do without her. "Good morning, Franny," I said while placing a small kiss on her cheek. "Oh, Qua, honey, I am almost done with everything for the Elder's Council. The large conference room is already set up, and I will be sending lunch in at noon if you all aren't finished by then. I have also prepared a few rooms just in case this ends up being an overnight trip," Franny explained. "Well, let's hope this will be a quick trip. They should be here soon. I will be in my office until then," I said, then left the kitchen.
I walked down the long hall and into my office. I sat down impatiently, watching the clock. It was already 9 am. Where were they? I decided to work on some pack business matters. I had an overseas hotel chain with contracting issues, and it gets hard to get everything handled at such a great distance. While I was in the middle of an email, I got a mind link from one of my border patrollers. "Alpha, the Elder's Council has just made it onto our territory, and they are making their way toward the packhouse now. There were four of them today," he stated. "Okay, thanks Mike, I am headed down there now," I responded before cutting the mind link.
I left my office and began walking up the hall to the front of the packhouse. As I walked past one of our lounge rooms, I felt small hands grab my shirt and pull me into the room. I looked down and saw little Erin with her fingers gripping my shirt, staring up at me sweetly. "Good morning Alpha, You seemed so tense at breakfast, and I just wanted to ease some of your worries," Erin purred seductively. "Oh, Erin, I don't have time. I have a meeting right now," I stated as I began to massage her large breasts. She began kissing my neck and rubbing her body on mine. I was becoming hard with her body pressed against mine in this way. "I'll be quick," she smirked as she got on her knees and began to unzip my pants. s**t! Do I have time for this? You know what? f**k it; I need the release!
I mind-linked Legend, "Hey, the Elders are here. Greet them for me and take them to the large conference room. I will be there shortly." I stated quickly and cut the mind-link. Just then, Erin took me into her mouth and began to work. She choked, spit, and gagged on my large member. I gripped her hair tightly in my massive hands as she bobbed her head up and down, taking me down her throat, and then releasing me again. I was getting close. Damn, she was so good at this. She started massaging my balls, and I lost it, as I poured my seed down her throat. She swallowed effortlessly and stood up with a small smile. After I gained my bearings and fixed my clothes, I gave her a small kiss on the cheek and said, "thanks, Erin. Why don't you take the rest of the day off?" Feeling rejuvenated and less up-tight, I made my way to my meeting with the Council.
As I walked into my meeting room, I was greeted by my Beta and the four council members. "Good morning, Alpha," everyone greeted me in unison. "Good morning, now let's get down to business. Why are you here?" I responded. One of the elders stood up. He was tall, old, and thin with grey, almost white hair. I smelled warlock. "There appears to be an Alpha going from pack to pack, destroying them and taking over. There also appears to be help from a dark witch," the elder stated. Okay, now I understand why they sent two warlocks to my pack. Another elder stood up. He was also tall but more muscular with graying hair. I definitely smelled wolf and a powerful one at that. "Also, there appears to be a girl with them who has powers," the old wolf stated. "Powers?" Legend and I questioned at the same time. "Yes, powers. It is said that she has glowing white eyes, and she can manipulate nature. An eyewitness stated this glowing-eyed girl used tree roots to decapitate her Alpha. Tree roots!" the elder exclaimed in fear. Okay, now, this is getting interesting.
I sat and thought about the information I had just received. I sat back in my seat and asked, "so what do you need from the Blood Moon Pack?" The other elder, who was also a wolf, finally spoke up and said, "We need some of your army to cut them off at the next pack" "And how are we so sure of where the next pack will be?" I inquired. "Well, from the pattern of attacks, they have been heading North East straight towards this pack. They seem to be picking off smaller packs along the way and creating an army. So the next pack on their way to you is Blood Fang. If we are correct in our calculations, they should be reaching Blood Fang by tomorrow night," replied the elder.
Knowing Blood Fang was about 6 hours away, I responded, "I will assist with 300 of my finest warriors. I will make the necessary preparations, and we will head out tomorrow morning for the Blood Fang Pack." The elder, white-haired warlock stood and said, "very well, we must get going. We have a coven of dark witches we need to speak to regarding that witch that is with them. Hopefully, we can convince the coven to join you all as well. Take care." With that, the four council members piled out of the room and left the packhouse.
"Well, that was a lot to take in," stated Legend once the elders were gone. "Yes, it was, and I fear we have no idea what we are walking into," I replied. I mind linked the pack, "mandatory meeting tonight at 7 in the grand ballroom of the packhouse. All members must attend." After I cut the mind link, my Gamma, Lonnie, walked into my office. "Is everything okay, Qua?" asked Lonnie. "No, Lon, I don't think so. I will need you to pick 300 of our best warriors and prepare to leave first thing in the morning. Legend, I need you to stay here and hold down the pack." I stated. "Awww, how come I always have to stay behind and miss all the action?" Legend whined like a pup. I rolled my eyes at his childish complaining and responded, "because I need someone I trust behind to be in charge, and since it is war-related, I am taking the general of my army." Lonnie cut in to pick with Legend and stated, "so that means I go and you stay. Get over it!" Before Legend could respond, I decided to end this before it began, "cut it, you two! This is serious! There is probably a rogue lunatic running around slaughtering Alphas and Lunas and taking over their packs. There is a dark witch out there clearly on the loose with no coven and some unidentified female who is killing people with trees! This is not the time for jokes! We need to strategize!" I exclaimed.
We spent the next 4 hours strategizing on the best way to put an end to all this drama. We are basically walking into the unknown, and I at least need a plan. After eating a quick dinner in my office, we made our way down to the ballroom for the meeting. As I stood there and watched over 1000 people file into the room, I knew I had to be honest with my pack. I began, "Blood Moon Pack, I have just been made aware that there is a perilous threat headed directly for our pack." Everyone began gasping and speaking out all at once. I tried to reassure them by saying, "Calm down, everyone, we will not let that happen. Myself, Gamma Lonnie, and a group of 300 warriors will be headed for the Blood Fang Pack in the morning. Gamma Lonnie has already mind-linked those who are going tomorrow, and he will be holding a brief meeting for those leaving following this one, so everyone is on the same page. We will cut them off before they get anywhere near Blood Moon! We are strong, and we will make it through this. Everyone who is leaving in the morning, please take tonight to spend some time with your loved ones. As usual, Beta Legend is in charge in my absence and will also be taking over training, so no slacking while the Gamma is away! We will keep everyone updated. Have a good evening." With that, I went upstairs, took a shower, and laid down in bed. Jax and I are both anxious about what tomorrow night has in store.
