Chapter 129: _Meeting With The Alphas... Again Later that evening, I waited in my office for the members of my Council and the nearby Alphas to show up. The rest of the day before the evening hadn’t been too productive as I made calls to different Alphas around America and beyond, getting their reports on the rogues in their territories. Every Alpha on the continent has to hold themselves accountable to the safety of their respective pack at the end of the day, not me. Anyway, at around five PM, Marcellus was the first one to step into the office with an exhausted expression on his face. "Good evening, Marcellus." I greeted him with a nod as he closed the door behind himself. He flashed me a wry smile before speaking apologetically. "Sorry, I’m late. That search for Tonka using his foot tracks turned out to be a wild goose chase. I don’t know how to explain it..." I dimmed my eyes, leaning closer as he sat on one of the chairs in front of me. "What do you mean?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I still had in mind Odessa’s discovery of Tonka being dead, but I couldn’t share that with anyone else. Not even Marcellus. Odessa, being a powerless witch all this while, was the only thing protecting her from the full wrath and public scrutiny of the pack members, especially with the two magic-related killings coming to light. I didn’t even want to know what their reaction would be if they discovered she’d awakened magic now. Anyway, Marcellus sighed before he spoke in a low voice. "The tracks ended at a point and then just... Disappeared. As if he was whisked away or something. That’s why I said I find it confusing." Whisked away? ’What? Do you think whoever killed him was the one who whisked him away?’ Damon asked in my head, but I responded with uncertainty. ’Something isn’t adding up here. I don’t know what it is, but my instincts are telling me there’s more to that bastard’s death.’ Soon, the Gamma and Delta also stepped into the office, followed by Layla and a few other familiar faces. The Alphas of the neighboring packs around the woods were present as well. After pleasantries were briefly shared, everyone settled down with solemn expressions as I went straight to the point. "Now, if anyone has seen the news, you’ll know that a human town was burnt down to a crisp and no survivors were found," I announced before turning my gaze to the only female Alpha present. Alpha Katherine. "Are there any developments on how and when it happened?" I queried, drumming my fingers on the armrest of my seat. The air was filled with tension as everyone fixed their attention on Alpha Katherine. Her pack was coincidentally the closest one to the human town, which had just been wiped out. "There is no information on the ’how’, sadly, although the leading evidence suggests that it may be the work of magic." She revealed, clearing her throat and adjusting her sitting position. "However, our pack’s investigations have confirmed that it happened some time around the late hours of this morning." My eyebrows furrowed into a frown as I subconsciously glanced at Marcellus, my uncle, and the Delta. We were in that town this morning, so how and why did the enemy attack mere minutes after we left? Just then, Layla raised her hand silently, seeming nervous about speaking. After all, she was surrounded by some of the most influential people in werewolf society. "Yes, Layla?" I gestured at her, causing all eyes to go to her. She smiled before she cleared her throat and spoke up. "I think it’ll be best for everyone present to head to the town and investigate things personally, sir. That way—" "Investigate? Us?" My uncle interrupted with a scoff, glaring at Layla. "I’ll have you know that we were at that town earlier today. Why are we stressing ourselves over these humans?" My jaw clenched when I noticed that some of the Alphas present nodded silently in agreement with Gamma Zane’s words. The bastard... Just when I parted my lips to say something, someone beat me to it. "We’re ’stressing’ ourselves because we desire peace with the witches AND humans, Gamma." Marcellus was the one who spoke with disdain laced in his voice. "Not to mention that this attack—" "Was caused by magic!" Gamma Zane snapped, getting on his feet and not backing down. My eyes twitched at the sight as I dimmed them at him. ’Suspicious, right?’ Damon blurted in my head, and I couldn’t agree more. Why was he so worked up about this whole thing? "Listen, I don’t want to deny the fact that we should deal with the rogues and their suspicious gatherings. But come on now..." My uncle scanned his gaze around as if he were waiting for someone to agree with him. However, no one, not even the Alphas who had been nodding their heads alongside his words, paid him heed. They all looked away from him, obviously too afraid of my scrutiny. "Sit." I blurted plainly, causing the Gamma to turn his gaze slowly to me. He seemed hesitant and defiant, but my expression was plain as I gestured at the door. "That’s the exit. Sit, Gamma Zane. Or leave." He pursed his lips, staring at me with unknown emotions before he eventually complied, folding his arms in front of his chest. After staring coldly at him for a few seconds, I turned my gaze back to Layla, who had still been standing all this time. "Your idea of going to the town ourselves and investigating is valid, Layla. And I think we should implement it." I said as I got on my feet and placed both hands on top of the desk. Everyone present had their eyes on me, listening attentively for whatever I had to say next. Well, I’ve said enough anyway. My last statement was pretty self-explanatory. "Gamma Zane, prepare some pack soldiers and call them to the mansion. We’ll all be heading out together to the town to further investigate the place." I said plainly to my uncle. As everyone stood up and began trooping out, my wolf mentally grumbled. ’We promised to punish Odessa tonight. What about that?’ Damon asked with a groan. However, I scoffed mentally, a smirk curling up the corner of my lips before I responded. "There’ll be plenty of time to do that once we get back."
