Chapter 119
Alaria:
“The fact that after everything and after going against us and getting a divorce, then coming now to request for help amazes me.” Elder Caspian said, looking at me. “You hiding your son for the years is also a crime that you are going to have to be punished for. I do hope that you are aware of it.”
“I wasn’t going to put my son in the lion’s den on his own. At that point, the Alpha had his mind set on what he wanted to do, and I didn’t intend to lose the child that I raised myself.” I said, and he scoffed. Enzo looked at me and shook his head, silently asking me not to respond the way that I was. But I was always known to speak my mind to these elders. It was one of the reasons why as a Luna, I may or may have not caused them more trouble than they would like to deal with.
“No Alpha allows harm on his own son.”
“And yet, the woman who has faked the fact that her son was the Alpha’s would have.” I said, and the man took a deep breath. “I am not saying that I am right, but the last thing that I would have done was put my child in danger. Regardless of how much you want me to do so, I am not going to allow that to happen. Needless to say, you are going to have to understand that as a person, I know what it best for my child…”
“Your child is not of your own blood, not alone.”
“And that is why you find him here.” I said, glaring at the man. “I neither hid him for his whole life, nor am I refusing his position by his father’s side. My one aspect and issue was the woman who would have put him in danger. And now, even though I know that she is a risk that I do not intend to deal with, you don’t see me hiding my child. I am merely teaching him that his place is here within his own father’s pack while I protect him as his mother.”
“As for being punished, I believe that the decision goes to the Alpha to make. And I doubt that you would expect me to do anything that would harm the woman for protecting and raising my son the way that she did.” Enzo said, looking at Elder Caspian who raised an eyebrow.
“I must say, I am amazed by what you are trying to form as a relationship. However, I will have to remind you that as an elder, I do not fall for such acts or games. You can find someone else to play them on.” He said, and I took a deep breath. “For now, I am not here to discuss your family trouble or problems. The idea of you two being under one roof is not one that I expected, but then again, judging by the circumstances, I believe that what they say about our wolf world changing is
true.”
“If you now concerned about the rogue, you are not going to be getting any of my men to side by you. The wolves of the elder’s cult know their limits too, and they do not involve themselves with the dirt of those outcasts.” He said, and I took a deep breath.
“They are going to come to all of us. You are included in this, Lord Alpha.” I said, and he raised an eyebrow.
“And who is he to try and come against the elders? Do you know who we are and how strong we are in comparison He is not going to dare think of a rebellion.” He said, and Matias shook his head as a small smirk formed on his lips.
“It is arrogance that often has you elders being destroyed, I do hope that you understand that, Caspian.” Matias said, calmly. The man glared at him, but even he knew not to speak back at the beta. He was older, stronger, and though less in rank, he was more experienced and more respected. “Your father died the same way that you are drawing for yourself, and if you intend to take his path; let me remind you, these that includes elders and humans too.”
Does are going to attack everything that they can get their hands on. And
“It against our laws to kill these people. This is going to

People are going to start dying in numbers that are absurd, and that happens, even the wolves in the authorities won’t be able to protect us.” Enzo said, stopping Caspian. “This is not a war that would stop because you think that these rogues do not

intend to challenge us. They do and they will, and when that happens, neither one of us is safe. If anything, we are all going to be in danger, and our loved ones too.”
“What do you suggest then? Because I doubt that making a ‘peace‘ treaty is going to be something that these people would be willing to accept, and…”
“Beta Matias,” one of the pack gammas said, stopping the elder. His eyes were wide in both fear and surprise. And his racing heart told me that what he was going to tell us wasn’t something that we were going to like. He pulled out a necklace, Yasmin’s, and my eyes widened as we stood.
“What…?”
“Speak, lan.” Enzo said, snapping at the man whose hands shook.
“A man brought it over.” He said, gulping. “We couldn’t find her, but we brought him in. He says that it is to deliver a message. The war has begun, and she is going to be the first of the sacrifices. That is, of course, unless you are willing to make a deal…”–
