Jack held his breath as fear skittered down his body. “He is dead,” he replied in a harsh voice that masked his fear. “And why are you bringing up my brother in this meeting? You are diverting everyone’s attention only because you are not ready to answer my question. So, River, tell us if you want every she wolf to become a free breeder for the Lycans? River crossed her arms across her chest. She scoffed knowing fully well the games Alpha Jack was playing with her She stayed quiet for a long moment as all others became pretty interested in her reply. Very smartly she replied, “Alpha Jack, 1 will answer that question if you will tell us how Lionel died. And-” she gave him a stern glare. “If you are unable to tell Alphas over here as to how he died, I can give those details *

Jack blanched. He whipped his gaze at Hunter who was observing him coldly. How could he say that his brother was ***by the Lycans when he attacked them along with demons? Suddenly, an idea formed. Clenching his fists, he snarled. “My brother was ***by Lycans and Alpha Hunter was the one who spearheaded the attack

Everyone looked at Hunter with shock as hostility amongst the Lycans and werewolves was stroked to fire all over again by Jack. His lips curled up for a moment when he felt victory. Now he had River pinned. He wasn’t going to let the rebellion go down. The three Alphas who were sitting beside him, were neck deep into it. They had struck a deal with the demons and there were way too many entangles

to be solved. The Lycans were ***rich and Jack couldn’t help but think what it would be to have all of Hunter’s wealth or even one-tenth of it

A murmur broke in the meeting room amongst the Alphas. They couldn’t help but steal glances at Hunter, the Lycan King who led the attack to ****Lionel. It was simply brutal. How could he take down one werewolf when they knew that Lycans were so strong and what was the reason? This was barbaric

A growl emanated from Hunter’s chest as they threw accusations on him. They all became quiet, terrified by the growl that shook the windows of the meeting room. Slowly, Hunter got up from his place and studied the Alphas in the room. His eyes rested on Alpha Jack who smirked “Yes, your brother was

***by the Lycans,” he said with an angry breath. There was an audible gasp in the room. Tension sparked like electricity sizzling in the stormy skies. Everyone’s muscles strained It was as if any time a war would break out

“But-” Hunter added. “Your brother was leading the attack on the Lycans along with the demons. And to protect themselves, the Lycans attacked.”

“What?” Alpha Briar spat. “Demons? With Lionel?” He turned his head to Alpha Jack. “Is this the truth, Alpha Jack? This was the truth, but how could Jack say that? He had to do something to let the truth out. He looked at Mason, Brute and Gary. They were silent like a stone. They avoided his gaze and it was at this time that Jack realized that he was going to be thrown under the bus. If he was going down, he would make sure that they all went down with him. However, who was going to believe the theory that he was working with demons? It wasn’t that demons were coming here to validate Hunter’s accusation. With that thought in mind, he laughed internally.

“I think Alpha Hunter is imagining. No one can work with the demons. They are dangerous and eat everything that walks on the face of earth. You think that Lionel would risk working with them?” Alpha Jack countered. “Just because you want to suppress the truth, you are saying that we worked with demons? That is just too ****, Alpha Hunter. And to think that you had come here to have peace with us?”

He looked at all the other Alphas and said, “This is a waste of our time. Lycans and werewolves can never be friends. The Lycans would continue to take away our she wolves as their breeders. The treat ensures that our women are safe. Once the treaty is gone, our women will no longer be safe!” Jack knew that he had nailed it. Now Hunter won’t be able to do a thing

“That was the worst thing you could have done, Alpha Jack,” Hunter said. “To yourself”

“What do you mean?” Jack growled.

Hunter stood straight and motioned to Elijah with his chin. Elijah exited the room and when he came back, he was followed by Falcon, the demon leader.

A wave of panic rippled in the meeting room. Everyone looked nervous when they saw Falcon. Standing over seven feet tall, Falcone towered above all of them. His jaws with long teeth that protruded over his

lips were intimidating.

Jack, Gary, Mason and Brute shot up from their chairs when they saw the demon. They were all too stunned for any reaction. They had never imagined that Falcon would come here. If he opened his ****, they were gone.

“Why is he here?” Alpha Briar asked as everyone else stood up in tension, ready to attack once more. “Don’t you know that we don’t like demons”

“Yes, throw him out!” Mason shouted as he pushed his chair back to charge at Falcon.

Falcon shook his head. He saluted Alpha Hunter and was about to leave when Hunter stopped him. “Wait, Falcon,” he said “The werewolves think that it was me who ***Lionel Tell us the real story!”

Falcon grunted. He opened his shirt buttons and took out a folder. He tossed the folder towards Alpha Briar and in his gravelly voice said, “This is the complete history of our attacks on the Lycans along with some pictures. We had been attacking the Lycans because we didn’t have a place to live. No one interacted with us and so we had no food ar amenities. Our children and our women died of starvation. Yes, I agree that we ate everything that came near the Veil, but that was the only place we could hide and live safely. We don’t even have a town for ourselves.” He looked at Alpha Jack and took a deep breath. “For a long time, five Alpha families gave us money to sustain, but it was just enough for all of us to live in the caves. The Alphas only assured us of bare minimum money and we lived like that… with bare minimum.” All the werewolves were feeling so shocked by Falcon’s story that they actually pitied him.

Falcon continued. “These five Alphas would ask us to attack the Lycans when they demanded. However, when Ella, Alpha Maxim’s sister was imprisoned by the Lycans, we stopped attacking because even the werewolves became wary. But Ella escaped with the help of Victoria who was supposed to be Hector’s wife. Once Ella came out, the werewolves again became active in their attacks on the Lycans.”

“He is spouting nonsense!” Jack shouted at him. The four Alphas together started to charge him, but were immediately stopped by Elijah, Lena and two other Alphas. They were dealt with swiftly and pinned to the ground.

“Stay down!” Alpha Briar commended them.

“He is lying!” Brute growled. “You can’t listen to their lies!”

“We will listen to everything.” Briar growled back, shocking the four Alphas.

“Continue Falcon!” Alpha Briar demanded.

“Ella was ***in an attack on the Lycans and I have to say that several of my men died. Once again, the werewolves became very

furious. Next time they sent Lionel and demanded that they attack the Lycans again. My men were getting weary of the continuous attacks in which we were left with as many corpses as bruises on the Lycans.” Falcon looked at Alpha Hunter this time and there was… gratitude in his eyes. “Unfortunately, Lionel died in the attack and several of my men. Again.”

He shook his head and let out a rough exhale. “It was then that Alpha Hunter met me and offered me a very generous proposal.” He lifted his head up and sucked in a sharp breath. “He has helped develop a large piece of land about five hundred miles from the Dark Moon Pack for us demons.”

“Oh wow!” River said as she looked at Hunter with pure surprise and pride filling her chest. That is wonderful.” “This is not all,” Falcon said. “Alpha Hunter has loaned us a billion dollars to start with our economy. The land where we are going to live is rich in minerals. Our trades are open but we are still detailing out the things. The basic point is that my fellow and I will be leaving the Veil in a few days. Half of us are already there, and the other half will soon leave.” He walked to Hunter and clasped his forearms in a friendly gesture. With extreme gratitude in his eyes, he said, “Thank you, Alpha Hunter. We all really wanted to get out of the dark ages.” He stepped back and bowed to him. Then he looked at Briar and pointed at the folder. “It contains the pictures. See them.” With those last words, Falcon left for good. There was a happy bounce in his steps.

The folder was opened and the pictures came out. Pictures of Maxim and other Alphas handing money to the demons were clear. Disgusted at their act, Briar said, “I propose that we vote against these Alphas to not attend any future meetings with us. Only if there is a change in leadership, will we allow their packs to enter.”

The Alphas thumped the table with their palms in agreement as River stopped her tears to fall from her eyes, as her lips curled up. The tables had turned.
