Chapter 102

Danny’s POV
**“That was the quickest way for the men and women of the packs to stop talking to one another”** I sigh at Jesse. **“The ladies have to understand; they can’t fight like we can and will get hurt or killed. Claudia has an advantage over the others. I can shift with her; the other ladies don’t have that option”** he responds, going over the disagreements we all had yesterday.
I wonder? **“You wonder what?”** Jesse asks me.
**“I wonder if Goddess Selene will allow more than one of us to shift into someone’s wolves. It will put Dad’s mind at ease if Mum can shift into Kingsley or you. Get Mandy here, I want her to ask Goddess Selene”** I answer him.
“What are you and Jesse talking about?” Dad asks me, waking up from the couch. “We have a thought; did you sleep well?”
“I would sleep better in my own bed” he snorts heading to the bathroom. He is bunking in my room and Claudia is up with Mum in their room. I know what Dad’s thinking but none of us are sleeping where we are supposed to be. Tracey is with Joyce and Isaac and Jason is sleeping in his room with Rick and apparently, he snores. According to Jason, Rick is stripping the paint off the walls to his room.
**“You better be telling me; you agree to let us take charge of the fight”** Amanda snarls in my head.
**“Relax; I was going to ask you if you could talk to Goddess Selene for me. We have less than 2 days to stop fighting amongst ourselves and do something. I haven’t spoken with Dad or the others about it yet. It may put their minds at ease to allow you to take charge”** I respond. **“I’m listening”** she pouts and I move to the edge of the bed as Dad comes out of the bathroom.
“Dad, I have Mandy with me. I was talking to Jesse; one of biggest concerns is the ladies being able to defend the territory against other Alphas. What if Mum can shift into Kingsley; would you be more inclined to let her lead the fight?” I ask him and Mandy cocks her head to the side and comes forward.
“Pappa Wolf; is that what you are concerned about? Mumma Wolf and Beatrice can handle themselves; you have taught them well” Mandy voices.
“Claudia and you can also. I know you can do this. Going against another Alpha wolf is too much for Beatrice or you to have to endure; you are smaller than they will be. My mind will be more at ease if Jade could shift into Kingsley, not entirely at ease but more at ease” Dad sighs, sitting back down on the sofa and I come forward again.
“I want Mandy to talk to Goddess Selene. See if all our wolves can send each other to one another’s sanctuaries. If they have to fight; they can fight with each our wolves. Mum can shift into Kingsley; Sebastian; Jesse and so forth” I explain.
“Before I do; you need to consult with Mumma Wolf and Claudia” Amanda says, leaving my mind.
“She won’t do it until we talk with Mum and Claudia” I tell dad and he drew in a breath as his eyes glaze over to talk to Kingsley.
“Kingsley? What do you think?” I ask and Dad’s eyes change from blue to almost black colour. “Hello Daniel; I see merit in your idea. We can confuse Michael and Callum even more with this idea. Keep everyone guessing who really has Baby Wolf” he answers and goes back into dad’s mind.
“I should mind link everyone to meet me in my office” I tell Dad. “Make it an order; they have to come to the office, even if they don’t want to” Dad replies, snickering.
“While I mind link who we need from the two packs; can you please text Oliver, Sariah, Raquel, Phyliss and Matthew please? And make it for the council room, my office will be too squishy” I ask, opening the mind link.
*“Meet me at the council room in 10 minutes; that’s an order. Mum, Claudia, Todd and Joanna; this is a strong request”* I mind link everyone as Dad quickly gets dressed and puts his phone in his pocket. “Message sent” he announces, smiling at me.
“Let’s get going” I inform Dad as we leave the room. “What’s happening and why do we have to go to the council room?” Mum snarls at me. “Did Mandy not tell you?” I ask her. “No; Mandy did not tell me. Claudia, what is going on and why are you keeping secrets from me; I am your mother” she huffs and Claudia gives me a kiss. “I think this might work” she whispers; “does this mean we are not fighting anymore?” I ask, a bit too enthusiastically.
“If you can see my point of view; yes, we are not fighting anymore and Mum is driving me nuts” she whispers. I can’t stop the grin on my face as we reach the doorway to the council room.
“Please everyone; come in. I have a proposal for us to do; if the gods and goddesses will allow it” I inform everyone as we all enter the room and take a seat.
“Don’t leave us hanging little bro; what are you wanting to know?” Todd says and everyone else nods their heads in agreement.
“As you know; after our meeting yesterday. We couldn’t come up with a strategy because we are all stubborn and pigheaded. The men don’t want the ladies to fight and the ladies; even though they are cable of holding their own; want to take charge as we believe Callum will not kill them. Saying that; one of our main concerns is Michael and his wolf Randall. The female wolves, are much smaller than an Alpha wolf. What if we can have an Alpha wolf fight him instead of their wolves” I inform everyone.
“What do you mean? Do you want me to be next to Sariah and if Michael comes near her; fight him for her?” Matthew asks.
“No; I mean if Michael goes near Sariah; she shifts into your wolf to fight Randall” I tell him. “I can’t shift into a wolf” Sariah informs me.
“Yet; you can’t shift into a wolf, yet. We ask Goddess Hecate, Goddess Bastet, Goddess Artio and God Apollo to allow everyone wolves, bears and cats to go to each other’s sanctuaries where it is needed and Sariah, Leon, Oliver, Alicia and Jeffrey to have a sanctuary to be able to shift into a wolf, bear or cat as well. It will keep them guessing what is going on. Especially if Oliver shifts into Mandy and runs around a bit and Mandy moves onto the next person. They won’t know what is happening” I explain to everyone and there are murmurs around the room.
“Let me get this straight; you want Amanda to go to each of us and run around for a bit before she moves to the next person. What about Claudia? Won’t she need protection?” Simon asks me. “I can have your bears, wolves or cats with me” Claudia exclaims and I smile at her.
“What about me? Like I said before; I don’t have a counterpart” Sariah pipes in. I will make myself scarce while you shift. Mandy is with Goddess Selene now; she will let us know as soon as she has finished talking to them” Claudia informs us and I breathe a sigh of relief.
“I suggest if our counterparts need to go to anyone who doesn’t have a counterpart; please do what Claudia is doing and make yourself scarce. As we are going to be near the bunker entrances; you should enter into the bunkers until your counterpart or another counterpart is with you” Simon injects.
Everyone stops suddenly, looking around to see where the loud ringing is coming from as Claudia stands up; “I have Mandy” she announces and Amanda comes forward.
“Apollo, Selene, Hecate, Bastet and Artio all agree for this to happen on one provision; this is a one-off scenario only. We will only be able to do this until after the attack is over. As I jump from person to person; the counterparts will then move to Claudia. We can all do this as of now” Amanda remarks, before leaving again.
“Isn’t it a bit farfetched to be able to have everyone shift into another counterpart?” David chimes in. “As farfetched as; I can produce weapons from thin air? Or Amanda can heal Todd on deaths door? Danny can push someone away from him? What we can do is far from reality. For fuck’s sake; a vampire has never been able to mind link before. It is given to us from Goddess Selene and we embrace it as part of ourselves. It would be better than have everyone left defenceless” Rick answers him and Oliver places his hand up to get everyone’s attention.
“The full moon is tomorrow night. We don’t have time to debate what is to happen. Simon; please inform everyone what you, Jeffrey, Jeremy and Brenda have concluded for our defence plan” Oliver says and we all turn our focus onto Simon, Jeremy, Jeffrey and Brenda.
