***BLAKE***
“Did you guys also feel it?” Jeremy asked as we walked side by side towards the courtroom.
“If you mean smelling our mate right there in the room, then yes, I'm sure we all felt that,” Dylan answered in a cold tone.
“What, you mean Simone is our mate?” Jeremy asked.
I hit my head at his stupidity, “No dummy, the new girl… Eloise,” I pointed out and Jeremy made an “Ohhh”
“But I think she's actually into Blake,” Dylan pointed out and Jeremy instantly agreed.
“So now, what is the next step? Will we make her ours tonight or…”
“No Jeremy, we can't make her ours tonight, she just woke up from a f*****g coma, you think the next thing she wants is to be mated to three men?” I said, throwing my hands in the air in frustration.
“Dylan?” Jeremy called. He looked at him, “Why ain't you saying anything?”
“I just feel now isn't the right time to talk about this, I'm actually curious about what Credence Wood's new alpha wants from us,” Dylan pointed out.
“I am too, let's talk about this later,” I seconded and Jeremy also nodded in agreement. We had reached the front of the throne room, the doors were open and we went right in.
This was going to be a long meeting, but all I wanted was to go back to look into that set of blue eyes from earlier.
“The alpha of credence wood has sent word,” lord Allen said and I just nodded, It was my turn to govern Silverstone for the month and so far, it was draining me the f**k out.
“Sure, what has he said?” I asked, already tired of the meeting that had just begun.
“He says he will be needing our help in rooting out a villain, a traitor from his pack,” Allen responded.
“Wait a minute, what's his name again?” I asked.
“Darius, alpha Darius,” Lord Allen answered.
“Yes, Darius, sounds new. So I'm guessing he just rose into power, I think he needs to be oriented. We are Alpha sovereigns, we don't answer to anyone,” I said and the others nodded in agreement.
“True! But Milords… I'm not done with the letter, it's actually a plea,” lord Allen stated and I nodded at him to go on.
“The killer of their previous alpha, his daughter has escaped and she's as treacherous as her father.”
“As treacherous as her father?” Jeremy scoffed.
“So, we are now to help him hunt down a girl?” Jeremy asked in a mocking tone.
“No, he doesn't want your highnesses hunting her down, rather, he's doing the hunting himself. It states here that she entered a neighboring pack, but the men that chased after her are uneducated and lack a sense of direction, so they claim not to know which pack she ran to.
The expression on Dylan’s face as Lord Allen's eyes met his, made him stutter.
Jeremy let out a muffled laugh.
“Continue… Lord Allen,” Dylan urged and he did.
so… Alpha Darius himself has decided to visit each pack and find out the traitor himself,” Lord Allen explained.
“Makes sense, so, he wants us to grant him Passage into our lands?” I asked and lord Allen silently nodded.
I looked around at my brothers and they all didn't have a problem, and neither did I. “Sure… whatever, is that all?” I asked.
“No your Highness, we still have about 7 appeals to decide upon for the day,” Lord Frost, our uncle said.
Then I saw her, well her hair. Had she been eavesdropping on our conversation? But I let it go, it wasn't a big deal.
“And the second appeal, again, from lord Darius…” Lord Allen read out, rolling his eyes, even the poor old man was tired already.
“Again?” Jeremy asked and lord Allen nodded, “Okay, read on,” Jeremy said, slouching into his seat.
“Alpha Darius once again asks if you end up approving his extended hunt, he wants to know if your lords are going to be willing to grant not only him, but he and his wife and some other dignitaries from his pack abode here during the hunt.”
“Really? We have decided to give him an opportunity and now he wants to bring in his whole family?” I asked, frustrated already.
“Well, we did tell every rogue and outcast wolf we were welcoming people into the pack,” Jeremy chipped in.
“A big mistake we made there,” Dylan said and everyone nodded.
“Well, they can all come,” I said and lord Allen narrowed his eyes on Dylan.
“What?!” Dylan asked.
“Is Alpha Dylan comfortable with other people coming into the pack?” Lord Frost asked, daringly.
“Well, yes Uncle, I'm over the last event, I told you all already,” Dylan whined, while I tried to stifle my laughter.
“Next agenda please,” I yelled and everyone got serious.

I yawned as the court session finally ended. It was earlier than I thought it would, and I was thankful for the haste.
My brothers and I stood up together and began to walk out, we had to decide the issue on ground—Eloise.
“Do you guys think we should check in on her?” Jeremy asked.
“I don't think it's needed, and by now, she must be out of Simone's clinic,” I answered him and he didn't press further.
“So, what's the plan boys?” Jeremy asked, always so eager to get to the conclusion of things.
“I personally think she has a thing for Blake, so why not just get her to be with Blake, trap her in the marriage, and boom, she's ours, she wouldn't even know who is who,” Jeremy said with his baby brain, and I just nodded pitifully, using my palm to slap my forehead.
“We won't be tricking her into anything except if she wants it,” I said.
“I can smell her,” Dylan finally spoke. “And she's getting closer,” he added.
“And she's here,” I said, eyes finally landing on her.
“Let's put on a show,” Dylan said and we all nodded. Everyone knew their parts in this show.
