Alpha's Blind Luna novel Chapter 93

I sat at the head of the table in the meeting room that was rented out. There were around twenty-five Alphas at this meeting. It was more Alphas I had seen together and we were still missing some more notable ones. AJ was standing next to my chair on my right whereas Bryan was on my left. I’d decided to take these two because I wanted to make sure I was getting all the information and whatever I didn’t catch would be picked up by Bryan or AJ.

I’d shown up for the meeting and at first, the Alphas weren’t happy but when I said I was here to observe and see where I needed to help, they settled down. I was largely ignored for the rest of the time. There were documents strewn out on the table along with a giant map that had different marks on them.

It was the third day they were meeting. The first day was just a bit of catchup; basically gossiping about different things like a bunch of Luna’s at tea. The next day was more productive. They started setting up who was getting attacked, who was on the brink of an attack and some of the more hotspots for activity. They were surprisingly well organized with the information.

Today, though, was chaos. They were trying to find a solution for moving forward as a united front. The problem with that is everyone had a different agenda and the fact that about seventy-five percent of the Alphas here had gone too far with Nova 2.0 already. Their emotionless and bloodthirsty need to be stronger and overrun every threat to their pack was not what everyone wanted. It started arguments and the yelling only got louder over the past hour or so.

Pitching the bridge of my nose, I closed my eyes, trying to will the headache that had started to go away. Slowly opening my eyes, I looked down at my phone. It was 2 p.m. local time and I sighed.

“Everyone.” My voice boomed over the argument and hushed the Alphas. “Let’s take lunch and come back to this after we’ve have a moment to breathe.”

A bunch of the Alphas grumbled but left the meeting room and a quiet fell over the room. Taking a deep breath, I massaged my temples.

“I don’t think I brought enough Advil for this.”

AJ chuckled. “Well, you can’t say they aren’t passionate.”

“Yeah, passionate about the wrong things.” Bryan grumbled next to me. He rubbed his hand over his face. “Yes, let’s just wipe out all the witches and fey. Let’s kill everyone. Why not throw in the humans while we are at it? Just rid the whole planet of everyone but werewolves.”

I smiled at Bryan’s sarcasm. My father and Týr were standing just inside the meeting room, talking quietly before Týr came over to us. He hadn’t really said much to us and my father had said nothing. I would say I expected it but it hurt a little, especially since it was my father who was the one who wanted me to come.

“Hey V…Alpha King. I appreciate the step in. Is there anything I can help with?”

Shaking my head, I sighed. “Headache medicine?”

Týr chuckled. “Yeah, they get quite loud. Too many Alphas in a room isn’t necessary a good thing. There is a reason we all have our own pack. Someone who doesn’t have your typical Alpha personality has to be Alpha King. Otherwise, I feel like they would just take over all the packs and combine them into one.”

I smiled but then my smile started to drop. Setting my chin in my hand, with my elbow resting on the chair.

'What if we combined the packs?'

Naresh chuckled. 'What are you on about? You think that any of these Alphas are going to give up their territory, you’ve got another thing coming.'

'No, I know that. But right now, the issue is that everyone has separate treaties. Each pack has treaties with individual covens or fey because it’s local to them. It’s the fires that we keep trying to put out. Because those alliances are just between those packs.'

Naresh started to pace in my head, cocking his head to the side every so often. 'So, unifying the territories? I mean, you’re the King of all of them. Isn’t that a given?'

I tapped the arm rest. 'Not necessarily. I have my own alliances that both my mother and Zeke have cultivated. The issue is that most of that was run and enforced by the High Council.'

'The council that everyone hates and not a single Alpha in here has mentioned it at all. Even though the rumor is that the High Council is helping the werewolves become stronger since your mother was the one who chose the councilors.'

Nodding, I narrowed my eyes. 'What if we removed the High Council? Not killed them, but removed them out of the equation. What if we went direct to the source?'

'The Kings.'

Smiling, I nodded to him. 'Naresh, if we could enforce as Kings all together, force our kinds to bend the knee to us, while everyone getting what they want, it would remove the High Council and the fear of a group not liking them and turning against them.'

'Yeah, but would you first be able to convince all these Alphas. Then second, would you be able to even get the other Kings, and I guess the Mother Witch, to get in a room together. Let alone agree on anything. We’ve been through meetings when the High Councilors don’t agree, this is less people and far stronger opinions.'

'No king wants to lose their subjects. The amount of blood that has been shed lately should be enough for at least the other leaders to agree to meet. What we need to do is nail down these Alphas in their feelings. What are their demands and what do they want from the other races. Cause that seems to be all over the place. Then, out of those demands, what are the things that we can flex on in order to get the more important things nailed down.'

Naresh didn’t say anything for a moment. He paced for a bit, mulling over my words like I was doing.

'We would need Grandpa for the Vampire King. Hector can reach out to the Mother Witch. He worked with her more closely when we were dealing the witch children being taken. I paused, thinking about how to get into contact with the Fey King. We could try Pipsqueak.'
