"Hey, who is there?." Nico asked on hearing a knock from the door, interrupting his reading.
"It's Daxton." Nico furrowed his brows. What is he doing here?." He questioned himself. "Let me in already." Daxton reminded, Nico closed the book he was reading and stood up to open the door.
"What are you doing here?." Nico queried, holding unto the door.
"I'm here for a peaceful conversation, which will only last for ten minutes, can I come in now?." Daxton explained to him, Nico scrutinized him with his eyes from head to toe. He stood by the side and allowed him to enter.
Daxton looked around and nodded his head. "What are you here for? I need you to start speaking now, and if you are not ready to do that then you can kindly take your leave." Nico stated, he was getting uncomfortable by his presence.
"I don't want to beat around the bush. I'm here because of aurora. When did you know each other that you are this close? How did you even know about her, because you spend all your time studying and training." Daxon bursted out in confusion. He has never imagined Nico will ever know her.
"Who is aurora?." Nico asked, taking his seat.
"The young Luna we met in Apex pack a few days ago, you were all over her." Daxton explained and rolled his eyes.
"Is that all you are here to say?." Nico questioned, narrowing his eyes at him.
"Yes, and I need you to answer me." He replied angrily, Nico smiled and let out a scoff.
"Get out of my room this instant before I do something you will live to regret." Nico threatened in a harsh tone.
Daxton saw how angry he was and knew he could do anything at that point. He took some steps closer to the door and opened it. "I won't let you snatch her away from me, I will do anything just to have her to myself." Daxton assured and walked out of the room.
"He is such a silly boy." Nico laughed out on saying that.
"we need to collaborate with a stronger pack for enough support to destroy them and get back our stolen properties" the beta to Alpha Deman (Daxton's Dad) suggested. He nodded at the suggestion.
"That's a good idea but what if the pack declined? then the news will spread to our enemies that we are weaker than we appear to be and it will cause more harm than good to us. Let's think of another solution" Alpha Deman turned down.
Apex pack was taken into captivity by a stronger pack 100 years ago, where the Alpha, Luna and their bloodline were killed immediately, then they took captive of the pack member.
Alpha Ran was the son of Alpha no one knew about, he kept it as a secret to himself in order not to be killed.
80 years later, another alpha ruled over the stronger pack, he freed the captives and gave back their lands. They were happy to be free.
He requested for them to choose someone to rule over them. Luckily, they chose Alpha Ran who ruled them under the control of the stronger Pack's alpha.
Alpha Deman became the ruler after his father Alpha Ran was killed in a battlefield. After so many years, the stronger pack has a new ruler who was bent on making Apex pack his own, which Alpha Deman disagreed to, which means a war must take place.
Deman knew how powerful the stronger pack was, but he was not ready to surrender.
"That's the only solution we have for the limited time" the beta insisted, Deman sighed out terrifically and stood up abruptly.
"Do you have any pack in mind?" he asked, giving in to the solution.
"Yes, but I am looking for the best pack for us" He answered" alright, give me the report within 48 hours" He said, he walked out of the chamber with a deep frown on his face and an heavy heart.
"I need to make sure this pack is not taken for us, I won't allow that alpha to be my doom, never" He muttered as he walks.
Daxton smiled happily. "I love the way this is going" he giggled and headed straight to his father's room.
He headed to the chamber because he wanted to have a conversation with his father, he stopped and eavesdropped on their conversation.
He went into his room and search on how to convince his father.
Daxton placed a gentle knock on the door. "It's Daxton" He spoke. His father had sent the guards away to have the moment to himself.
"Come in" He replied, Daxton opened the door and walked in.
"You need to cheer up Dad, because I have a solution to the pressing matter" He announced excitedly, Deman turned and looked at him indifferently.
"I made sure no one knew about it apart from his beta, how did he know?" Deman questioned himself.
"I'm sorry I eavesdropped on your conversation but this solution I have will put an end to the troubles. Please hear me out" He assured confidently.
Daxton has never contributed positively to matters. Deman nodded uninterested in what he wanted to say.
"Crescent pack is the only pack that will help us win this battle. Firstly, they have thousands of armies and countless ammunitions. Secondly, Alpha Ralph will support you all the way because he knew how it felt to loose a pack to someone, he will fight for it just the way he fought for his own" Daxton explained, Deman was impressed at the analysis given.
"What are we going to give him in return?"
"You can propose for both packs to become friends, we will celebrate festivals together. You can also offer to supply food to their pack monthly for the next ten years" He spoke again.
"I'm happy you came up with a solution at least, but my beta and I will look for the best alternative. You can leave now" Deran dismissed him and turned his back at him.
Daxton walked out angrily. "He never takes me serious, I am sure he would have acted on it immediately if it were to be Nico. He doesn't like me at all. I pray he takes it into consideration" he muttered silently. "I can't wait to meet with Aurora again."
