Chapter 138: The Vote

Marcus POV

The news channels have been going haywire all morning. We are all at the big Television room in the pack house looking as the world is in chaos because of what happened. The funny thing is the only casualty the humans are suffering from is from their own fear, not of them died, none of their property destroyed, they are terrified that an organization can pull off an attack like this in so many countries. People are going in and out of the pack house with new information to share. Many family members from other packs have been calling all morning... Most asking if we were going to move the pack and join The Osupa.

Everett came over... "Good thing my source was in Washington DC, otherwise he would be dead! This is indeed a HEAVY blow to The Council! I don't even know if they'll be able to recover from this! It was truly unwise to attack The Osupa, they definitely don't fuck around!" I still can't believe what they pulled off... Well after really being inside Loiza's mind I can imagine how much focus this took.

We got an incoming transmission from Jason, and everyone went to the comms room to listen in...

"Are you guys seeing THIS?! Dude it was INTENSE! EVERYONE on the island partook! I STILL FEEL the surge of power man! Also I FOUND MY MATE!" He will be given citizenship.

"Wait, Jason what do you mean everyone partook?" I ask. He explained how they did it without much detail, but I got the gist. By the Goddess! My own sources in the supernatural world report that every attack from The Council has stopped (yeah, no shit!) and that even The Elves have concluded that The Osupa were worthy adversaries and would be unwise to irk them... They have very much put an end to any plans anyone had to cross them or their allies (again, no shit!).

"And you found your mate?! How?" Leo asked him wanting details.

"Dude I TOLD you! The moment I saw her I just KNEW she would be MINE! Brianna turned 18 today and I got to it and mated and Marked her immediately! I am officially Osupa man! I'm in THEIR link now, Brianna turned 18 at midnight and the moment I Marked her I was IN so I was one of the pieces that helped with what happened! I have NEVER felt this and the mate Bond! It's insane! I'm so glad we got a holiday today." Where's Kayden?

"Jason, Kayden went over with the Lady Moira to negotiate, have you seen him?" What's happening?

"I haven't seen him but I did scent him earlier, so he IS here, also I overheard Shomari tell Haya that he has been all morning with the Cacique." Who?

"Ok, if he's been in there all morning that's a good thing... I guess we wait for him." Adam hasn't stopped watching the news, and now that he heard Jason gloat that not only he's a part of supernatural history now, because yeah... THIS is going to be studied, already there's debate weather Loiza is a butcher or the Avenging Angel of Death... But that he ALSO found his mate, has Adam cross.

'Beta, the Lady Moira waits by the shrine. She wishes to speak with the pack do I escort her?' Where's Kayden?

'Yeah, bring her up!' I have been trying to figure out how best to approach her, I NEED to hit the books hard on Avalon Law!

"That's a splendid though Beta." She was looking at the television showing split images of the destruction.

"My Lady I was hoping my brother would have returned with you." She looks at me with that blank face of hers.

"The Cacique and her mate are rekindling the Bond between The Osupa and Blood Moon. What does Blood Moon choose? To stay or be welcomed as new Osupa?" Um? Everyone in the room was looking.

"My Lady, is it ok if we assemble the pack so that you could give the terms as well as your opinion and take it to a vote?" She looks around at everyone.

"Assemble away Beta, I shall wait." Thank you! I link Avis and Adam to round up the pack and take them to the assembly hall, while I escort the Priestess to the office and offer her anything. She only wanted water again.

After gathering the whole pack, I escorted the Lady Moira so she can address them. Many had seen her before, dressed in pale yellow she was truly a sight to behold. The murmurs stopped the second she walked in the room and she lowered her hood.

"Blood Moon... As you have seen all morning, The Osupa will protect their territory and avenge their dead with a very clear message and yet have the finesse to carry it out with the power of Avalon as backup. OUR world, is understanding that to choose to have animosity with The Osupa is CLEARLY a poor choice, so regardless, the supernatural world will not make a move against them, at least not now, we all know how this goes. The human world is in total chaos, we are trying to determine how long does human fear last, however it doesn't seem to end, so this chaos will endure until they calm down when they don't think they are in danger, yet well we know them to be unpredictable. Your Alpha has reconciled with The Osupa Queen and they wish for all of you to join them in Karaya. What is Blood Moon's choice? Remember, your Alpha could have left you to fend for yourselves, the Cacique had already forgiven him and she could have taken back her mate, yet he stayed to ensure your survival. They BOTH want you to." She placed the cards on the table except the conditions. She wants to know what they want. She comes to me on the way out.

"Beta I will wait by the shrine until they have made their choice. Also tell Alpha Everett to warn his man inside the Washington chapter to leave, I wouldn't put it pass Loiza to finish them if they make just ONE wrong move, and now that Kayden is with her it will be even simpler." Simpler?! I nod to her in understanding yet not the part about Kayden. And she walks out.

At this point everyone was shouting trying to talk over one another! Ugh!

"STOP!" I roar at the top of my lungs using my Beta command and everyone is silent.

"This is SERIOUS! The Grand Prime Priestess of Avalon is officially extending an invitation to finally go to Karaya. We will hold a VOTE!" From my calculations running this scenario before I already know it's conclusion. So let's start with the easiest...

"Who votes for us to stay?" Murmurs again. Thomas stands up.

"With respect Beta, most of us WANT to go... My questions are what are the conditions for us to go? And will we be treated like pariahs once we're there for what a few did?" He sits with his family. They are mostly Kappas and so far their beer is the best!

"I will have to bring in the Lady Moira for those particulars Thomas, what she wants to know is if WE as a pack accept the invite. From what I have studied of Alpha Loiza she doesn't seem the type to scorn on ignorance and if she invited us it means she's fine with us. Besides with Kayden by her side do you think he would allow that for us?" They start murmuring again. Avis steps in:

"Do you think that because The Osupa handed The Council their own ass we are safe? THINK guys! We have ALWAYS had attacks! Thomas, wasn't your mate killed in a regular rogue attack 4 years ago? That had NOTHING to do with The Council! I personally want to go for several reasons, but mainly I want to be as strong as them, so yeah, I want to be trained by them and with what Jason has reported, the life they live is I want for my family! We have already decided... My family accepts Queen Loiza as Alpha according to what our Alpha wishes for us!" I know Avis's ginger head has been thinking very much about this, he has his mother and sisters to watch for and his Kappa brother is now finding sculpture as his main drive. It's stressful to know YOU are the best shot your loved ones have to survive the worst. And he opens up that feeling to the pack so that they understand that it's not just a power play. He wants to be able to achieve his goal of getting stronger to protect his family but at the same time he wants peace of mind that they are safe and happy.

The minute he ended his words the whole pack went silent. Everyone was linking with their families. After almost an hour the pack said yes on moving! I fetched the Lady Moira so she can give the particulars.

"You will be asked every questions that every other pack has received before being allowed into their sanctuary. There will be powerful Truth Seers who will easily detect any lie. There is no spell needed, as you have already divided yourselves among the Greek coding every single discipline will be nurtured and encouraged to grow. But believe me their training for EVERYTHING is rigorous, they strive each day to reach perfection. As for the Warriors I guess you know what that means for you starting from the very top, every single Alpha born in Karaya Island is receiving intense training as the first line of defense and the strongest in the pack. A team will be sent over shortly for the questioning and to help extract you from here and take you to the island. I can already feel many of you worry about things you will leave behind, since this area is actually quite safe right now I recommend you pack everything you wish to bring, but remember you can always come back to fetch whatever else you want. As the world is right now, there is so much chaos that you can probably fly in and out of the country without any problem especially with Osupa technology. The main problem was the constant attacks from The Council and that has been neutralized for now. Does anybody have any questions?" She concludes with her voice sounding stale.

"Thank you My Lady, when should we expect the team to arrive?" At my question three portals open. About 30 Osupa come out and we hear her... Her voice no longer adorable.

"HEY YOU BUNCH OF CUNTS! DID CHA MISS ME?!" And Josephine comes out and pounces on Avis like a cat and gives him a hug, after she kicked his ass they became friends and they never said goodbye because he didn't go with us to London. Jason walked out with another girl who looks A LOT like Joey! This must be Brianna... Damn! He looks bigger than on screen.

"Yo Leo! Are you ready for warmer weather man?!" And he hugs his best friend.

"Are you kidding me?! My sister keeps going to the mall with friends and getting new bathing suits! I want to get a board! Yo man, LOOK at you! You look buff as fuck!" Jason laughed at that!

"Bathing suits? Nah man! They have REALLY nice shops down there! And they're only used sporadically. But do use them around the Mermaids, they ALWAYS want to play with your---" SMACK!

"Really Jason?! Maybe he WANTS that! Just like YOU used to... REMEMBER?!" Brianna smacked Jason behind his head. Ok... So Brianna is younger than Joey but she sounds like she can rough someone up just as well... She'll be good for helping Jason grow up!

"No my beautiful Frost Faerie, I completely forgot about EVERYTHING! Before meeting you nothing is worth remembering." She gives this triumphant smile and he takes her hands and his kissing them and kissing her lips after.

"Wow! So that's what being pussy whipped in less than 24 hours looks like!" Avis interjects making us laugh. But Jason cannot control his smiling! Looking directly at his mate he answers very matter of factly ...

"Yup! And what a perfect pussy to be whipped by! I really hope to be whipped by it every single day! Maybe someday YOU'LL also know how awesome it is Avis, that too will help you relax after training, trust me!" Brianna blushes furiously and Joey starts laughing hysterically!

"Aw man! I don't even know who I'm laughing at anymore this was a collective burn here! Jason! That was a GOOD one you got both Bree AND Avis! Are you having a dry spell old buddy? Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Jason will like to give you guys the tour The District. It's always fun to go! Especially when you don't have a mate and you still want to unwind without having complications of a relationship!" We're all a little confused.

"Are you serious Joey?!" Brianna glares at her sister, eyes still retaining it's dark limbal ring but the irises turn fully white! Her wolf's eyes are white?

"Whatever Bree! I'LL take them so you can go ahead and whip Jason more with your pussy!" Whoa!

"BUUUUURN!" They all shout at the new mates, BOTH now blushing intensely.

"Don't even TRY with me baby sister, your whining works on Sammy not me, wrong twin kid! Anyway, yeah it's going to be better when more fae come, but guys we have to focus on NOW, get Samuel over here, I need the Epsilons to secure our exit plan. Marcus, Avis, we need the census you guys made, the techs will input the data and take blood samples to make sure every genome is verified, we're always on the look out for mutations which will make our pack stronger. Also it'll help with accounting for everyone, we want to KEEP Karaya secure. Understood guys? Remember Karaya is sanctuary to ALL of us you want to make sure that those we fight for are safe... That's how the pack survives.
