Now that we know Councilman Avery is the leader of the rebels, we need to plan to catch him. Councilman Bari is going to call an emergency council meeting tomorrow and requires all members to be present. He will brief them on the threat of war and have a war meeting. While the council is occupied, a team of technicians will place hidden equipment around Councilman Avery’s office and home. We have inside people who already have access to those areas, so we will be able to get in and out without drawing attention. We have also placed a team member undercover to get close to the grandson.
The queen of the witches introduced herself. Queen LaDona will be working with the vampire royalty to make spells and potions to protect our allies from anything the dark witches can throw at us. Alpha Keenai also mentioned the supplements they gave me to counteract the drugs the rebels gave me. They have continued to work with the drug, breaking it down and seeing how it works. Like Tamaska told me when we were being held, the drug is supposed to block our spirit animal. I let the team know that the supplements were effective in blocking the impact of the drug on my wolf, but it still knocked me out for several hours. Queen LaDona asked for access to the research, She believes that some sort of magic may be involved and she and her witches and warlocks may be able to counteract the magical impact of the drug. There is a coven near Alpha Keenai’s den, they will work together on that project. Prince Julian and his mate Violetta will also travel to Alpha Keenai’s den to work with the magical team and the bears. King Joachim suggested that Prince Julian works with the team to provide an antidote to vampire venom since there are rebel vampires involved. I and my team members are immune to vampire venom, but most species and humans have no defense against getting bitten by a pure vampire.
Trevor suggested that the council contact all venom-producing shifters and have a representative to work with Alpha Keenai and his team. Trevor also suggested that the research team move to a secret location so that Alpha Keenai won’t have to have everyone at his den. The council offered a black site for them to meet in Utah, a couple of hours away from Alpha Keenai’s den. All parties are in agreement with these suggestions.
The research team will work to have a stockpile of anti-venom for every possible venom there is, while the magical workers will work on magic canceling potions and spells. My team of warriors and I will travel to my mate’s pack with the twins and Talia to continue training. Alpha Clark and Rose will train the elemental warriors to have them ready for impending war. Lacey will meet up with Trevor at my old pack, then they will travel to the regions making sure the packs and covens have what they need and strengthening the alliances. After meeting with the region representative, Lacey will return to my old pack and Trevor will continue to travel between the academy and his home until the war begins. We will also increase security around the royals from all species since they are the primary targets for now.
Once everything gets in place, the council will announce my identity and I will officially step into my role. If we have not caught Councilman Avery by that time, my announcement should draw him out or at least move their plan forward. According to the prisoners, they are trying to seize power before the protector grows up and comes into their power. It will come as a shock for them to know that I am already on the scene and have come into most if not all of my power.
Alpha Keenai gave us all an update on the equipment that has been set up around the kingdom. His team is already monitoring the outskirts of the kingdom around the clock. There are teams within all of the regions that are monitoring the borders around the clock. Alpha Keenai’s team has a skeleton team that is monitoring all of the areas as a backup to the primary monitors.
Queen LaDona updated us on the progress of the magical borders and traps in the areas where we could not put up equipment. Those areas have been spelled and an alarm will be triggered if someone crosses the boundary. The alarm will go to the primary monitors as well as the magical team that set the traps. The team will be able to tell if the being passing the boundary is a friend or foe. There have been false walls and terrain set. Also spells to create an alternative reality for any foe crossing the boundary. If a group passes through with ill intent, the spell will cause them to either walk off a cliff or turn on each other,
As everyone was finishing their updates, Alpha Keenai let us know that his team member that is embedded with Councilman Avery’s grandson is sending a live feed to him right now. Apparently, the grandson went to meet the councilman. Alpha Keenai is going to patch the live audio in for us all to hear. We’re all quiet getting ready to hear what they are saying, hoping they give us enough information to move on them quickly. The sounds come through with who I assume is the grandson talking.
“Grandfather, things did not go the way we planned in California. We lost several warriors. Those fuckers killed everyone. I can’t believe that small team killed that many of our top warriors. That fucking dog, what’s his name? Umm Gamma True yea that’s it. He was like a wrecking crew. We need to take him out before we attack the rest of those dogs.” The grandson said.
My father growled when he heard that.
“I’d like to see them try.” My father mumbled.
“Calm down Terrance.” Councilman Avery said. “If we start killing off high-ranking wolves, we draw attention to ourselves. The council is already up in arms about the gamma we kidnapped. The Trues are from an ancient bloodline and are very well connected. Of course, we are going to target them in the war, but we can’t move too fast or will give our hand away. Have we heard anything from the team getting the information from that crazy shewolf?” The councilman asked.
“No, they missed their last check-in. The last I heard from them, they were at the bar and the shewolf had some other plan for us to take another shewolf who is friends with the gamma we had. I still can’t believe those fucking dogs got to us before we were able to get any information from her.” The grandson said.
“I told you all to get rid of her when I left that house. I told you she was not going to talk. She is too highly trained to talk no matter what you all would have done to her, but no, you wanted to move her to a place to torture it out of her or was it that she was so beautiful, you had other plans for her? Either way, this fuck up and the loss of our safe home is on you. You need to start thinking and using your head.” The council made said.
Both my dad and mate growled at what the councilman implied. I would have never allowed myself to be tortured or them to do any other unseemly thing to me. I would have teleported out before that could have happened. I rubbed my mate’s hands to calm him down and gave my dad a hug as we continued to listen.
“I will send another team to that bar to see what is going on with that team. We need to know if they have been found out. We can assume that they are dead since they have not checked in. These mutts don’t seem to take prisoners. It is also a good thing for us that they so brutally kill without getting any information from our people. They will never know what is coming for them. When I am the king of all species, those mutts will all be put to death.” The grandson said.
The councilman just looked at him. I wonder why they hate wolves so much. I know that we live separately from
other species, but we are usually on friendly terms. This seems personal.
“Not that I am a fan of those mutts, but we will need workers in our kingdom, so it may not be a good idea to kill off all of that strength. We just have to work with the dark witches to get all of them under our control so we can use them to our advantage. Elvin that crazy warlock said he is making progress on the spell to gain control over the wolves. They have a couple of prisoner wolves that they are testing the spell on. So far, they have been able to gain control, but they cannot maintain it for more than a couple of minutes. For now, the spell can also be broken by the mate bond. Hopefully, he and the other dark witches and warlocks can bypass the bond and find a way to maintain control over the wolves. That would be a game-changer in us taking over the supernatural world.” Councilman Avery said.
“What do you mean by us? I thought this was all for me grandfather?” The grandson said with a frown.
“Of course, it is all for you, but as your grandfather and advisor, I will continue to stand with you and advise you as you rule the world. After all, I raised you after your mutt of a father killed your mother to be the leader that you are. After all, your mutt of a father had royal blood, so you deserve to rule. Those mutts owe you that much.” Councilman Avery said.
“Do not mention that part of my heritage to me, as far as I am concerned, I am a hundred percent tiger and have no wolf whatsoever. That man is nothing to me.” The grandson said.
“Well Terrance, that mutt’s royal blood gives you the right to fight for the throne.” Councilman Avery said.
“Remember grandfather, I’m not just after the werewolves kingdom, I plan to rule over all supernatural. Unlike those mutts, I plan to rule everything. I will not settle for one species. I will show them what a true ruler looks like. That mutt’s family will regret that he killed my mother because they will be at the bottom of the food chain when I claim my power and place all of my generals in leadership over the species.” The grandson said.
“Well, let's get back to our tasks. I’m going to follow up with Elvin and see how it's going while you check in with the teams working with that shewolf. We will meet up later. Are you coming home for dinner tonight?” Councilman Avery asked.
“Yes, I’ll be there.” The grandson said.
The live audio feed ended after that.
“Well, that was very informative.” Councilman Bari said. “Gamma True. I know you are not worried about them coming after you, but I want to take every precaution in getting you back to your pack safely. I have already messaged Alpha Connor to let him know if the possible threat to you.”
“I also message my dad about it,” Trevor said. “We don’t want to take any threats or possible threats lightly.”
“I appreciate all of your concern, but I can take care of myself.” My dad said.
“We know you can Gamma True, but I am still sending you home in our private jet with several of the council’s warriors.” Councilman Bari said.
“Beta Vereen and the Elite warriors will meet you at the airfield. My dad is also increasing security at the pack just in case they try to attack.” Trevor said.
“I appreciate all your efforts although it is not needed.” My dad said.
“Thank you daddy for agreeing. I know you are the strongest alive, but we don’t know what kind of weapons they have or what other drugs they have so I want you safe.” I said.
“OK. Sweet Pea. I will be careful and do what the council asks for now.” My dad says.
“Queen LaDona, Do you know this Elvin that they are talking about?” My mate asked
“Unfortunately, I do. He really is the worst of the worst. His whole coven is full of dark witches and warlocks. He takes evil to a whole new level. If he is involved, the objective is more than just ruling over the supernaturals. Elvin wants total domination for himself. He is only using those fouls to accomplish it. If he is working on a spell to control a spirit animal, it is not just for wolves, but for all shifters. He is just using the wolves as subjects to keep suspicion down. We really have to stop him and we need to find those wolves he has before he makes any more advances. I think I know the spell he is using and I can do a spell on our allies to protect them against it during the battle. Those warriors that are mated have a natural defense against it, but I can strengthen their defense as well.” Queen LaDona said.
“Do you know when his coven is?” Councilman Bari asked.
“I know the area, but their coven is spelled so only their member can actually enter the area. They meet their allies at different safe homes, but the locations move frequently and the areas they used are also spelled. It takes strong magic to breakthrough the spells. My team will work on locating them. I will let you all know once we find them. You will need several strong witches with you when you rescue the wolves to block the magical attacks that they will throw at you and to keep you from being captured.” Queen LaDona said.
“Ok, We will prepare to rescue them when we hear back from you and your team.” Councilman Bari says.
“I will also send warriors with you. Vampires are immune to magical attacks, especially the ones made for shifters. They will not be expecting us to be with you all, so that will give us an advantage.” Prince Julian said.
“Young Alpha Trevor, since you are still at the academy, can you find out what you can about who can possibly be Terrance’s father and what happened to his mother. As far as the council knows, there are no royal wolves with hybrid children. The current Alpha King and his siblings are all mated and live at the castle or on the royal grounds. Most of their extended family members are also in the royal pack.” Councilman Bari says.
“Yes, I can do that. The Royal Gamma is here with me now. He will assist in investigating this matter.” Trevor said.
“Since I noticed that little power play between the councilman and his grandson, I will have my inside man play on the grandson’s fear that the councilman wants the power for himself and put a little friction between the two of them.” Alpha Keenai says.
“Just be careful. Family ties are strong with wolves and although he does not want to admit that he is one, he is at least half-wolf, so he will still feel the pull to be loyal to his grandfather. Tell your person to be very subtle and not push too hard.” I say.
“Good insight little mate.” My mate says.
“Well,” Councilman Bari says with a sigh, “We have a lot of preparing to do. Let’s check-in with each other at least once a week.”
We all agreed and logged out of the meeting. We all walked out and went to the kitchen for lunch. That meeting took a lot longer than we planned. It is a good thing my mate had a couple of omega warrior who prepared lunch for us and has been taking care of the beach house while we are here.
At lunch, we all agreed to all leave out with my dad in the next hour. We will all travel to the airfield together. My mate has his own private jet since he has to do a lot of missions for the council, it is easier for him to travel this way and fewer questions are asked when he does. The council’s warriors will be waiting for my dad on the jet. My warriors and Jarvis’ elite team will be flying with us. The rest of the special forces will fly back tomorrow They have a few loose ends to take care of in California before they return. I’m guessing this is code for they have another mission to go on for the council before returning home.
We finish our lunch and Talia gives me fresh clothes to change into since they did not grab my luggage when they kidnapped me. Rose is sending the clothes that I had at the den to my mate’s pack for me and sending some of Yvette’s clothes from the packhouse. My mate is going to arrange for me to go shopping when we get back to his pack. You know Talia and Yvette are excited about that. At least they are not as bad as Rose and Francis, so I may just be ok. The warriors’ mates are also looking forward to shopping as well. They had to pack light for this rescue mission, and no one knew I was going to find my mate and that we would all be staying at my mate’s pack for the time being. Jarvis offered to pay for the shopping trip, but the warriors told him that they will purchase whatever their mates need. I forget how possessive wolves can be when it comes to their mates. It’s a good thing my warriors are very well paid and would be considered wealthy in the human world. They are paid by the pack and by the council. Some of them have even made some good investments while they were waiting for their mates.
