PREPARING FOR THE MEETING.
1535 Words
After my lunch with Liam I find myself in the weird state of being both lighter and heavier.
Liam has accepted to put in his best to track down my sister's squad killer as soon as possible. With dark magic involved I doubt Liam can find out much but I decide to put trust in his strength and competence. At least if Liam can't find the killers then I would be ninety-five percent sure that no matter how much she wants to, Rita wouldn't be able to throw herself into a literal 'den of killers'.
'But what if he's right?.', Yuri says in my mind while rekindling the worry in my heart about Liam's last question.
'Is there any other reason or person that would want my sister or her squad dead?.', I question myself while being forced the face the reality. The honest answer to that question is a solid YES.
My sister and her squad have been far from pure or loved as over the last decade as they have accumulated honours in dozens of missions to the detriment of dozens of supernatural powerhouses. My sister and her squad members were especially ruthless in action and workings as they have accumulated a terrifying kill-count of over a three hundred in the last seven years!.
'Rita was probably responsible for half of them.', My wolf(Yuri) comments and I catch a small glee in her tone.
Ignoring my wolf's tone and words, I wave my hand to stop a taxi on the road. Liam had offered to drive me back to the pack though I feel uncomfortable at the idea of making him drive for hours just so I can be a bit more comfortable.
"Yohan Town, Royals avenue.", I casually tell the taxi driver while opening the door before stepping in. Rather than stress on Liam's question I would ponder on it alongside Rita at due time.
It is already two.o.clock pm.
It's going to take a travel time of two-and-half hours or more in order to get back to the pack's main mansion. I have a potentially stressful meeting to attend by six.o.clock pm and so for now preserving my already low mental energy is priority in order to face what's coming.

After an almost three hours ride in the taxi, I arrive at the pack's main mansion with a bit more of my energy back online. With the pathway already registered in my muscle memory, I move into the mansion and walk through one massive and artistic hallway after another before getting to my room after a three minute walk.
My room in the mansion is massive and simple. The room has high walls painted monotone in deep sea blue, a white king's size bed against one of the room's walls accompanied by two bed-side cabinet.
On another side of the walls there sits a massive wooden mirror and make-up table. The mirror table is carved in such an exquisite design that one would be more inclined to put it in a museum than in a bedroom. On another side of my room sits a small circle of brown couches and a simple glass centre table.
Taking in a deep breath, I stare lovingly at how soft and enticing my bed is looking right now though i quickly remind myself that I have no time for a quick nap of any kind. I should have taken one in the taxi but for some reason, I just cannot even fall asleep in a vehicle of any kind.
With this thought in mind I drop my bag on the bed. Pulling off my jewelry takes a minute and put them on the bedside cabinet before moving straight towards the door of my bathroom.
'I can really need a cold shower.', Yuri says in my mind though my current thoughts are the exact opposite of hers.
Fifteen minutes after stepping into the bathroom spot, I come outside wearing a purple bathrobe and I can almost feel Yuri pouting in my mind as I very obviously ignored her will.
Ignoring my pouting wolf, I move myself to sit on the chair in front of my mirror table.
'Damn!. I'm beautiful.', Yuri says in delight as I look at the mirror with raised brows after hearing her words.
'I am beautiful. I have never seen you before.', I tease Yuri internally and I can literally feel her ignoring me as she admires 'herself' in the mirror. Being honest, my wolf's not lying when she says 'I am beautiful'.
Without makeup, I have light freckles that perfectly complements my toned pale skin. I am fair in complexion though I'm far from having paper white skin plus my plump pink lips are enviable to most. I don't have the sharpest features but I have a beautiful symmetrical face that fully complements my light honey-brown eyes.
My brows are sharp and they are of a slightly deeper shade than my caramel hair which comes with a small natural curl. As for my body, I am not the most 'heavy' out there but I have all the right assets. I can rightfully put myself in the top three percent of women when it comes to shape and physique but honestly.. that's me being humble.
'We are beautiful.', My wolf says once more as I roll my eyes at the obvious.
'And we would be late if we keep admiring our own reflection.', I say to Yuri before stretching my hand to pick up a lotion.
I have a meeting to attend by the next hour.

Glow-up and dress up took me about thirty minutes. I have always been light on make-up and as for my hair, I simply packed it up into a gelled ponytail.
Today I go light on jewelry as I find myself a set of silver earrings with a gem pendant to match as well as a slim wrist-watch to follow.
Since I am going to an official meeting, I put on one of my numerous four inch heels and I throw on a deep purple suit jacket and its counter-part flare trouser for both fashion and grace. Adding my white inner blouse to the mix gives me the greens as I am ready to go.
After checking myself out in the mirror one last time I grab my purse and walk outside my room with the powerful sound of my heels making Yuri noticeably sassy in my mind. I ignore my wolf, I have to find Genora first.
In anything and everything concerning the pack, Genora is my partner and number one priority.. afterall I'm her most trusted ally and friend.
I walk through the hallways for about a minute and just as I'm about to get to Genora's part of the mansion, I see her walking towards my direction while discussing with her beta(Lisa).
Genora is currently wearing a checkered black and white suit jacket with pegged white suit trousers. Her makeup is a bit wilder than usual and her shoulder length black hair is currently waved back with a hair pin that carries a wolf image placed in it. Genora looks just as strong as always though she is somehow more beautiful and as for Lisa, she looks as sassy as always in her black suit and heels.
"Anything I should know before the meeting?.", I ask Genora as we link up and begin to walk towards the meeting centre.
"The elders are dissatisfied with.. things.", Genora responds and her brows show worry on the upcoming meeting.
"The elders are always dissatisfied.", I respond while trying to cheer Genora's obviously heavy mood.
"It's different this time. There is some tension in the air and I am hearing news about the SSC(Supreme Supernatural Council) being involved.", Genora says as we walk side by side towards the meeting room with our heels hitting the same rhythm.
"It's not the season for our routine check in so why is the SCC involved?.", I ask Genora who shakes her head as she obviously has no idea on the matters at hand.
"Uncle hasn't told you anything?.", I ask once more while Genora shakes her head in denial as her brows furrows deeper.
"Violet, do you think the emergency meeting is purely about my failure at..", Violet says tensely though I immediately cut her off by turning to her then holding her shoulders.
"Everyone fails sometimes.. no one is perfect but you come close. We were caught off guard and no one could have done better than you did. We both failed and next time we would proof better.. Ok?.", I say inspiringly to Genora who nods her head strongly at me.
"Ok.", Genora responds before closing her eyes for a brief yet deep breath.
"The meeting begins in five minutes.", Lisa interrupts with her annoyingly professional tone as she glares at me. I have noticed that Lisa does not like the fact that Genora relies more on me than her for emotional support.
'Bare with it bi*ch.', Yuri says in my Ming though I ignore her and Lisa as we continue to walk towards the meeting room.
