Xavier and Jimin had already made the decision to move at dawn the next day when they saw the strange boy make out with Karla in the kitchen It was a sunny day and they had gathered at the palace for the first official meeting since the death of Elder Xhang. Most of the Elders still seemed to be shaken by his death and it was no surprise to Jimin or Xavier because they had been there too and his death was under strange circumstances. He had been possessed by the Lycan King, Ghost Damon. The Elders were even more surprised when Xavier had announced his plan to unanimously elect Elder Obada as the new head of the Elders. They didn’t have anything against Obada of course because he had his slates clean. He was even one of the Elders fighting for the truth and the release of Trey back at court. The only reason they raised eyebrows was because the tradition was very clear. The Elders had always elected their own leader. It had never been in the Alpha’s place to elect a leader for them and

Justin smiled at the boy standing before him. It was going to be an easy victory.“Come on, Alpha,” Justin smiled and folded his sleeves up. “Lets see what you’ve got there?”They circled each other with calculating looks in their eyes and Xavier stopped halfway and smiled at Justin.“So your father tried to kill me?” Xavier said. Justin frowned at him and shrugged.“I have no idea what my father plans to do and what he plans not to do,” Justin said. “I was more like a senior servant…doing the dirty work for him without knowing what was actually going on.”“If you were doing the dirty work,” Xavier grunted. “How come you never knew about your father’s plans to kill me?”“Oh I was never interested in you,” Justin replied quickly. “You see, my father wanted to kill you and I knew that quite well even though he tried his best to keep it a secret from me. I just didn’t care about you. You were not important to me. The only thing I cared about was my throne, my rightful position as the hei

“You still haven’t told me how the two of you are brothers?” Layla frowned, her eyes fixed on her elder brother. “And why were you calling dad some hours ago? Is he somehow alive like you are?”“I promised I would tell you Layla,” Xavier grunted. “But there’s a lot going on right now. We’re still moving today remember? Don’t worry, I would fill you in.”“You’d better,” Layla snarled and turned to help a little kid that was trying to stand up. “Hello beautiful…”Xavier sighed in exasperation and allowed his mind to wander again. It was just the beginning of his second week as the Alpha of the pack but the drama that he had experienced first hand made it seem more like he had been the Alpha for a decade already. In just a week, he had watched the leader of the Elders die, as well as his own sister, along with a couple of other minor altercations that he doubted his father would have experienced in his own reign. It made him wonder if it was wise making all the decisions by himself. He s

Mork stared in excitement at the Lycans that lined the other side of the rock and he could easily make out the face of the Lycan leading them. It was Ozark. He knew Ozark very well. He was brave, reckless and a good warrior if you were particular about someone who wanted to murder werewolves gruesomely. Many even claimed that Ozark was more reckless than Ghost himself and Mork knew that it was his only chance to rest the rumors he had always heard. He had heard a lot about Ozark but he had never been chanced to see him at the war front. Ozark was not one of the senior commanders in the Lycan army but Ghost saved him for only the most important missions because Ghost knew that he would always come in handy. However, Mork was still senior to him in position and could order him around.Mork whistled – a low tuned whistled that went through the winds and caught the attention of Ozark who was on the other side of the rock and once he had caught the commander’s attention, he knew that all h

“Calisté was our father’s enemy for the better part of his life,” Xavier started. “For all his life if I’m being very practical. Jimin’s father, Tae was the Beta of our pack back then and he was meant to marry Calisté.”“He was meant to marry Calisté?” Layla frowned. “How did he get mated to a witch?”“They were not mates,” Xavier frowned. “They were lovers. Our father would not hear of it – that his Beta wanted to get married to a witch and so he spoilt their blossoming relationship by telling Tae’s father. Tae’s father attacked Calisté’s family as a form of warning for her to stay clear from his son and that was where the war started.”“Are you trying to say that we the werewolves are the ones at fault?” Layla frowned, her eyes fixed on her own elder brother.“I would advise you reduce your voice,” Xavier said looking around. “You don’t want our soldiers to hear this do you?”Layla frowned and they walked on, ahead of Jimin, Megan and the rest of the warriors.“We started this war,
