The Tortured Luna

Alliance Peace Treaty Contract Signing Chaos

The chaos that Alpha Krassus caused upon his arrival was intense and borderline declaration of war! Everyone was seething, including Luna Rose, who shattered her glass of milk, embedding the glass in her hand. This prompted Atlas to speak quite bluntly as he stood up and glared directly at him barely keeping Drakeous from ripping through him... his fur and claws constantly coming out and receding again... his voice melded with his own.

"Alpha Krassus, I don't know how you handle things in your pack, but you're not the Alpha of MY pack. I am! Here, we DON'T treat any of our pack members with violence and they wait until I give them the orders they're waiting for! You ATTACKED one of MY PACK MEMBERS!!! I could consider that as a declaration of war, which I WILL do IF you disrespect me, my Luna, or ANY of my pack members again, and yes, that INCLUDES MY OMEGAS!!! Is that CLEAR??!!!! Alpha Krassus widened his eyes a bit as he realized he crossed the line before he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Deepest apologies, Alpha Atlas. I just want to get this done quickly. I have a lot of work to do." with that, he extended the paperwork and Jack quickly took the paperwork, looked it over, and handed it to his brother.

"Alpha, it's in triplicate. He already signed it, and so did Lorna. It looks like there's a spot for us both to sign." Alpha Atlas took it while looking at Lyonal, take Luna Rose and Laurellee to the hospital to get checked. Make sure that Laurellee is admitted for the day. I want her under observation."

"Yes, Alpha." Lyonal replied as he stood up and extended his hand to Luna Rose. Atlas helped her stand up and take the few steps to Lyonal before he spoke softly but firmly to her.

"Rose, I want you to stay with her until I come to get you and check on you both. No excuses. Have them check on our pup." Rose nodded in agreement without saying a word and briefly glared at Alpha Krassus before allowing Lyonel to lead her out of Atlas' office where they came across a knocked out and heavily bleeding Omega Laurellee. Lyonal gently picked her up, instantly feeling faint tingles, and they went to the pack hospital as quickly, smoothly, and safely as possible. In the meantime, Alpha Atlas was still fighting with Drakeous to stay in control while pushing through to get the paperwork signed. Jack noticed this and took control of the situation. He stood up and moved a chair behind the desk with his brother and Alpha, Atlas.

"Lorna, please come here and sit with me beside Alpha Atlas. You can sit in Luna Rose's chair she left. Feel free to snack on the fruit if you're hungry." She nodded quietly before she got up and did as Jack requested and slowly grabbed a piece of watermelon, bringing it to her lips and nibbling at it.

'Atlas, you and Drakeous need to calm down. At least until we conclude the current business and get down to the pack hospital to check on the girls and get Lorna checked.' Jack mind-linked.

'I know. We're trying. He wants to rip his head off, and honestly, I don't blame him. I'm anxious to do it myself, but we can't yet or it'll be an all-out war! Just take over until I can at least get it where fur and claws aren't constantly in and out.'

'Ok.'

"As you can see, Alpha Krassus, my Alpha is having an issue controlling his wolf right now due to your actions upon arrival, so per his request, I'll be conducting this meeting. We have already completed the paperwork and printed, in triplicate, the official Alliance Peace Treaty Contract. Alpha Atlas has already signed. You sign here and then I'll sign after you've signed and double-check the paperwork to make sure all signatures are in the right places. So if you'll go ahead and sign on all the places marked with X, I'll double-check and sign myself." Jack said as he pushed the Alliance Peace Treaty Contract paperwork towards him with a pen on the top ready to use. While he signed all the spots with the X, both he and Atlas signed the paperwork for a temporary new pack member.

"Per our traditions, after Lorna and I are mated through the mating ceremony, she will no longer be a member of your pack and will be able to choose whether she denounces you as her Alpha. This also means that her stuff that may be left in your pack will need to be sent here as quickly as possible." Alpha Krassus laughed and responded.

"Since the agreements were already signed, it's set in stone now. So... Lorna, I'm no longer your Alpha. I banish you from my pack lands and declare you a rogue until another Alpha deems fit to bring you into your pack. Your stuff will be sent here before tomorrow. Your firstborn son will be raised by my pack, starting as soon as he starts walking, and taking his rightful place as Beta of my pack. You'll receive monthly photos either on your phone or in a package sent here. Beta Jack, I want my copies so that I can go. I have work to do, and I want to get someone assigned to clear out the Beta Quarters of her stuff and get it brought here to her." Seething with rage, Jack handed him a single copy of each of the paperwork packets and sat there watching as Alpha Karassus didn't even look at them and just shoved them in his briefcase before abruptly standing up and rushing out of the office and even quicker out the front door of the pack house before he booked it across the border to his land.

Jack slowly stood up and walked over to Lorna who was just sitting there sucking on the rind of the watermelon piece staring at the plate as if she was debating whether to get another piece of fruit. Just as slowly as he stood up, Jack extended his right hand towards her, not missing her flinch, took his pointer finger under her chin, and slowly lifted her chin until she was facing him.

"Are you alright, Lorna?" he asked her gently, hoping that she'd understand that she was in a safe place.

"I... I think so... am.... am I free from Alpha Krassus?" Lorna replied softly. Taken aback a bit, Jack responded.

"Yes, you're free from him. You're safe here. Are you ready to become a pack member? If you stay here without becoming a pack member for too long with him making you a rogue, some of the pack members may think that you're a threat and attack you. You've lost too much already, and I don't want you to lose more. I understand more than you know...." Lorna widened her eyes in response and just slowly nodded her head.

With that, Jack looked over at Atlas to see that he had finally gotten both himself and his wolf Drakeous under control. He reached behind him and pulled out a jeweled golden-hilt-curved blade that appeared to glisten in the dim light. He reached over beside where the ritual dagger was sitting where there was a matching goblet and grabbed it. Atlas stood at his desk where Lorna could see him and sliced his hand over the goblet with the ritual dagger, allowing the blood to drip into the goblet before he turned towards Lorna.

"Lorna, do you swear your allegiance to Blood Moon Pack, your Alpha and Luna?"

"I do." Lorna replied instantly.

"Hold out your hand, Lorna." once she complied, Atlas took the ceremonial dagger and sliced her hand on the palm before holding it over the goblet for it to drip into and mix with his own blood. He took the ceremonial dagger and held it blade down before opening the bottom of the hilt where he took out just a pinch of sparkling golden-like dust. He took that pinch of strange dust and sprinkled it on her palm and then his own, instantly closing it up. "Alright, now take a drink." Slowly she reached out and took the goblet from Atlas as he offered it to her and took a drink. She instantly started to hear a mumbled commotion. Once Atlas downed the rest of the blood mixture, she felt a huge pop and the rush of new voices swarmed her until she slowly closed her mind down. After her head stopped spinning, she looked up at Atlas and Jack.

"Thank-you both. But... where am I staying? I lost everything, and I don't have a position here."

"You'll be staying with me in the Beta suite. First, let's get you to the pack hospital and see how your health is. Atlas, let's go."
