the eclipse pack:alpha Nellie

chapter fifteen

Chapter Fifteen: Unveiling the ThreatAfter the intense battle with the rogues, Nelly cleaned up and went to her office for a meeting with the three Lords of the pack. As she took her seat, she greeted them, "Good morning, everyone.""Good morning, Alpha," Lord Chio responded calmly.Lord Marksons, visibly upset, spoke up, "Are we all going to act calm when we were just attacked by common rogues?""Calm down, Marksons," Lord Denridge interjected, trying to ease the tension. "We're here to figure out the reason behind the attack."Nelly explained the situation, "The Eclipse Pack is protected by a veil created by our ancestors that usually prevents outsiders from entering the pack's territory. Yet, the rogues managed to breach our borders.""Usually, the veil weakens during the eclipse of the moon, but there was no eclipse yesterday," Lord Chio added thoughtfully."True, but I sensed there might be a traitor within the pack," Nelly continued. "Someone is trying to sow discord among us. That's why I sent Morbius to bring the Guardian of the Veil here.""Wait, you mean Asipita is coming? She's my role model!" Lord Denridge exclaimed with excitement."But she never leaves the Guardian Tree," Lord Marksons remarked, expressing his surprise."She makes an exception for Morbius," Lord Chio noted.As Nelly and the lords discussed the situation, Morbius walked in with a young girl who appeared to be around Nelly's age. The girl had brown skin, waist-length brown hair, and striking green eyes."Good morning, everyone," Morbius greeted them as he entered, while the girl remained quiet and stood behind him."Who is this girl?" Lord Marksons asked, confused."Where's the Guardian?" Lord Chio asked, searching for the legendary figure.The young girl stepped forward confidently. "I am the Guardian of the Veil, Asipita."The lords reacted with shock. "What? You've been the guardian since the pack was established, and you're just eleven or twelve years old?" Lord Denridge asked angrily."Richard, or as your mother calls you, Richy, I am the Guardian, so please show respect to your elders," Asipita corrected Lord Denridge.Nelly spoke up, cutting off any further protests. "Thank you for proving yourself to us, Asipita.""Morbius explained the rogue issue to me. I'm aware of every person who enters or leaves the pack, and I can also sense those who give permission for others to enter," Asipita stated."Do you know who allowed the rogues to enter our territory?" Nelly asked urgently.Asipita replied, "Yes, I sensed the late alpha's energy yesterday.""But he's dead. We buried him," Nelly said, visibly upset. "Do you think this is the work of witches?""The witches wouldn't do such a thing with Alicia Elsa around," Lord Denridge said. "She may not attend meetings, but she's still a part of this council, unlike someone who retired after you took power.""Are you talking about my mother?" Morbius asked."Didn't I hear that Elizabeth is taking over?" Lord Marksons questioned Morbius."Yes, but there's another contestant in the running—Melvin is giving her a tough time," Morbius explained.
