Chapter 109: Alpha Oscar and the Council
Logan
I never liked the men of the Council.
Frankly, they seemed like a bunch of losers who were only interested in getting their share of money and power. Old alphas or wolves who had achieved nothing in their lives and then, in the dawn of their existence, tried to take advantage of this ancient wolf organization to avoid ending up as complete losers.
Still, I respected the Council as an institution, just like any other wolf. The packs were supposed to rule their territories, but there had to be someone or something to oversee them all together, and in theory that was the purpose of the Council, some packs need control, that's true. But not like this.
But the power came from us, the wolves who really had influence. As I watched and listened to these old men, I realized that none of it made sense, and with each passing second, my wolf grew more angry, filled with intense rage.
They had made fools of us.
They had used us.
They wanted to control us like a puppet.
And her... they wanted to go against her.
But it wasn't just that; they had endangered the whole pack, and they were far from impartial. On the contrary, they always supported some more than others.
Once again, it smelled like the Night Wolves are involved. No wonder my brothers and I had been keeping an eye on them for years. Those bastards were planning something against us, and now I had the proof I needed.
"We never prepared for the possibility of the human having success" one of the old man exclaims. They were gathered at the edge of the forest, and my uncle was with them, as was one of their co-conspirators.
"How many times have they met behind our backs? How many times have they plotted against us?" my wolf roared with bloodlust.
"Are you sure?" he asks. Oscar… the man who had counseled me for years, whom I considered my parental figure in the absence of my parents. It was hard to believe what I was hearing, but the proof was right before my eyes, clear as day.
"She is, Alpha. Not only did she survive in the forest for several days, but… a wolf showed up."
"A wolf?" another said in panic, and it made me want to stand up and smash their faces in.
"A wild wolf, yes. It's small but ferocious, and you know what that means: only a true Luna could make a wild wolf trust her. And as if that wasn't enough, the stupid human helped the creature," the oldest council member said, and the others murmured and showed signs of disbelief.
"It must be a setup, or..."
"A filthy human could not summon a wild wolf!"
"It must be a trick!"
"Unfortunately, no. She even survived our attacks. We had to capture her. Or rather, our allies did, they have her locked up right now," one of the men said.
"We've got to save her!" my wolf howled, and I was trying to calm him down so we wouldn't get caught when my uncle intervened.
"Our contact will hold her captive while we move on. We must show the pack that she has failed, is the best way to debilitate the Dragons"
To debilitate us? Contact? I bet it's Gerard. Bastard!
"And for you to continue as Alpha. We need to keep Three Dragons in check. We always knew that having triplet wolves was an abomination," another old council member added.
I´m in shock. This was all a trick to keep my uncle in power. To divide us because they're afraid of us! I can't believe it! While they had these intentions, I fell for it like a fool. I had fed on this ambition and need to have a mate all to myself, one I didn't have to share with anyone.
The blame is mine and no one else's.
What I still don't understand is that my uncle has no heirs. How does he plan to stay in power? It will be for a while, but everyone knows that only the strongest will be Alpha, and my uncle is about to lose his strength.
"There is always the option of keeping the girl hidden and manipulating the dragons with her. Logan will accept Irina, mark her and mate with her, and hopefully she'll bear an heir. That way everything will be safe," another elder said.
"Irina will do it, she's already working on it, she's got him wrapped around her little finger," my uncle assured me.
"Wrapped around her little finger, my ass..." Morgan growled.
So that must be the goal: for Irina to consolidate her power through an heir of mine. But we wolves have proven to have difficulty impregnating our mates. It seems like a long-term goal to me, but everything indicates that my uncle has been manipulating this for a long time, maybe since we were children.
"Also, we have proof of the ritual's nullity. Apparently, some wolves helped the human, one of those blond boys, from your own pack," one of the old men said. It must be our betas! I knew the Golden Boys were up to something.
"We had to take them out, they're witnesses to what happened," another old man added, and my uncle grew uneasy.
"No... there must be another way," he shouted. He knew the twin betas were valuable. Does he not realize the damage his actions have caused? One of the men approached my uncle, and they no longer seemed to be speaking as friends. Their voices were completely threatening.
"Concentrate on making sure Logan seals the deal. You won't get any support until he's deeply involved with Irina. We'll go and announce to the pack that the human girl is dead. That way, it will be clear that a human can't be Luna."
"That's how it will be," my uncle agreed, a little frightened.
"Smile, Alpha. The girl has achieved her goal. She came into our lives to prove that humans are inferior to us, and we cannot be near them. We will now take their lands and everything, we will have absolute control over them; we'll make them our slaves."
"You see, we told you that you must accept the human bitch, and you didn't agree?" another adds and they laugh. Damn bastards!
Now I understand my uncle's insistence that we be with her. It was all part of the plan. And I suppose in the worst case scenario they would just use her against us. What I never imagined was that the damage would come from our own people.
"And you will be rewarded for all you've, done. Your bloodline will endure, and the pack will be yours forever."
But what bloodline are they talking about?
