Chapter 41
I want to say the last month has been great but it hasn’t. First I dream that I’m pregnant and being locked away by some very angry red-eyed beast. Not even Loki had an idea what it meant.
Other than the pack meeting I am about to hold not much has gone on. No witch has shown up no mysterious messages with photos of myself. Nothing from anyone in the black rose. The only email I received about any pack issues was to update the call list information as the snowpack has a new alpha. Alpha Tulok Matthew snow. The future beta gamma and delta will be named soon.
I already knew about alpha Tulok from the emails about Gregory. Closing the computer I look at my notes again. I have the outline of what I am going to do mesmerized and I know there will be a fuss but I don’t care. What I have done over the last month with the help of Loki created a few potions to increase my strength and increase my healing. That one, I was skeptical but Loki made sense” the faster you heal the longer you can fight without bleeding out.” So I drank it.
A knock breaks my consideration “yes” in comes Sally “where have you been lately Tina I miss you? And is today to name the new beta gamma and delta?” shit I forgot to look over the pack for that shit. “Part of it yes. Is everyone in the throne room?” “yep. So not even gonna tell me? Hey did you get a new stone in the necklace?” tilting my head “no why” “well it’s got silver shoots through it now like webs it’s very pretty well except the very bottom that looks like it’s crushed with something reddish.” I swear to the goddess I want this thing off. “I hate this thing. I’ll be down in a moment.” Disbanding her as I hit the stupid pendant into my skin feeling a prick and a pain shoot through my heart. Taking my breath away I claw at my chest trying to find the source when the pain dies just as fast as it came. Shrugging and rolling my shoulders something heavy is pressed down on me then lessened. Maybe it’s a sign the witch is close or chosen I’ll ask Loki.
Walking into the throne room I see the entire pack. I had looked up a fast way to pick a beta gamma and delta and decided to have a fighting tournament it will smooth over the blow I’m about to hand out.
Taking my place at the front of the room I look around finding the council, Calvin and Brad are all here. Good. Smiling I start.
“Good afternoon Winters pack. I know we have had some ups and downs in the past years but I’m here to tell you things will be changing. I want to bring us back to what we were. For that, I need a couple of things from you.
To start the council is dismissed this pack can not run if two heads are fighting. I am the alpha my family had run this pack all of the time and I will keep that going. If you do not accept this then you have two options one is the door and border cutting ties to any packs under my rule becoming rogues. Or the dungeons where you will receive the bare minimum to survive. You have until this time tomorrow to have made your choice.
Second, there will be a change in some assignments Calvin Harris and Bradley Cooper will be in charge of the alpha guard starting today you will create your team of six total and report to my office in two days. Clinton and Ryan green you will be on dungeon duty you will take turns who is on and who is off. No one is allowed down except me.” Filling these with my full alpha command. All four vow their heads.
“and lastly the reason I am sure you are all here to hear my choices for beta gamma and delta. Well, I haven’t decided because there are too many qualified wolves here. So what I have decided to do is hold a fighting tournament in one week. Today is Monday you have until Thursday at eight am to place your names in the box at the back of the room. Saturday the tournament will start. First place will be beta second gamma third will be delta and fourth place will be warrior head. Are there any questions?”
Looking around the shocked room. If I didn’t k ow they were wolves j would think they are statues. I waited a moment nodded and left the room. Making it out the door before I drop my shoulder and catch my breath that was intense and a little scary. But also it felt good. Not one wolf in there fought me. Smiling I head to tell Loki all about it. And ask about the pain.
My phone chimes as I shut the door. Pulling it out as Loki greets me. The image of a young girl with her head removed from her body is staring at me.
The caption said -your poor witch didn’t make it.

“Loki we have a problem.” Turning my phone to face him. His face turned so red I thought he might set the painting on fire. “gather the ingredients to summon another add lavender to it this time and mint. Oh and a marigold seed. Those will make us so the witch doesn’t know who’s calling just the need is needed they will follow the pull.” “I was coming to ask why I felt a stabbing pain in my chest but I guess this answers that “ “what?” he freezes.
“Well before the meeting I just held I felt a stabbing pain in my chest so strong it took my breath away then it was gone “ placing my hand on my chest where it hurt. His eyes move down stopping when he sees the necklace. “when did that change?”
