ANTARTI PACK There was chaos everywhere. The Alpha had been murdered in cold blood. It was unheard of in the history of the Antarti pack. And if an Alpha could have been killed with all the security around him, then no one was safe. Athena finished burying her mother where she requested. It was easy since no one was paying attention to her. After the odd man had left she decided to heed her birth mother she sent a telegram to her best man to acquire as many soldiers as he could and send them to Antarti pack ahead of her camouflaged. She had already seen about fifteen of them spread out amongst the people. She lingered around people long enough to understand that the first son the Alpha had sired died in childbirth and the second wife he took after the king's execution had given birth to another son who was now nowhere to be found since the incident happened. Athena knew the people had been told the first child died during childbirth. The funny part was how she was being referred to as a 'son', with her ample bosom and slender figure she knew she was quite female. Having heard enough she walked to the steps leading to the Alpha's seat and stood before it. She knew what the people must see, A woman clad in a flowing yellow dress white high-heeled shoes, and pearls in her hair. An audacious woman with good taste. The beta and gamma looked just as surprised as the people who had been waiting for Zeus the supposed late Alpha's only living child to come and claim the throne. The royal guards lunged toward her direction no doubt to punish a mere woman for ascending the place meant for only highly placed people. But three of her soldiers attacked them and within thirty seconds the guards were on the floor hearts no longer beating. Women screamed, people scrambled out of the throne room, the abled men in the crowd and the soldiers from Antarti pack began to advance ready to shed blood but stopped short as they saw Athena's soldiers killing the guards who tried to stop her. One by one they came to stand by her. All 75 of them. Everywhere became silent. With a strong steady voice, she introduced herself. "I am Athena the first-born child of the Alpha Caden. I have come back to take my rightful position." She paused. "As Alpha." Gasps and murmurs of wonder and disbelief rose in the crowd. It had never been recorded in history that an Alpha werewolf should give birth to a female as a first child. But everyone saw the uncanny resemblance between her and the first queen the heard the Alpha voice of authority in her. But it how was it. She let the noise die down before she continued. "Although I never knew my father, you all knew him, Alpha Caden kind, considerate, passionate, and respectful of his people. He entertained complaints from the lowest of ranks. Joined in manual labor and from time to time visited the poor. He was loved by many." She let the whispers of agreement die down. "I am nothing like him. I will ask only this once, does anyone have an objection to me being Alpha." No one dared to say a word. Cowards. she thought silently. Then suddenly she heard a voice coming from the crowd. "Get down this instant. Who do you think you are." And the man whom the voice belonged to joined her in front of the throne, rage eminent in his eyes. As he advanced towards her, five of her soldiers aimed for him. She halted them with a raise of her hand. "You worthless bast-" He began. "Kill him. Don't get blood on my clothes." And in one swift motion of her soldier's blade, the man's head was on the floor. She looked down and saw the blood at the hem of her gown and looked to the soldier who had done it. "I warned you." She said and stuck a dagger she took from the folds of her skirt and stuck it in his throat and watched him cough and splutter on the floor next to the beheaded man before he even realized she was talking to him. "Any other objections?" She asked. The only audible sound was of someone's body hitting the floor as the person undoubtedly passed out. She saw herself to the late Alpha's room looking around when a footman came in quivering and looking as though he was a hairsbreadth away from crying. "What?" "A-a-a m- messenger f-from blue moon pack." "Send him in." And when the door opened again her nose flared in annoyance. And they both said at the same time. "You."
