"Nathan Hunter, what is it that you have to summon the entire family so early in the morning?" Stella asked
"We need to move fast, the elders are closing in on me and they are planning on revolting." Nathaniel said
"Why? You are the best Alpha they've had in years." Stella said mortified
"I know that except for the fact that I am yet to sign a peace treaty for ten whole years now." Nathan said disappointed
"Okay? With the Walker's I suppose." Stella said
"Exactly..." Nathaniel said
"Okay so, what would you have us do?" Stella asked her husband
"It would be best to make friends with them." Nathaniel said
"Father, I and Emily, since we both attend the same school with them and even their cousin, Theodore is in our class so we will do our best to fit in." Alex said trying to gain his father's approval
"I hate that guy, he looks at me with a weird look." Emily said
"He has a crush on you Emily." Alex said
"I don't like him one bit, there is someone else I really really like." Emily said smiling sheepishly
"Oh you mean the arrogant one Ryan? I despise him so much, he is too full of himself like he owns everything... I actually prefer Theodore to him, Theodore can be easily swayed, one of this days I will invite him over so as to establish friendship with him." Alex said
"Very good, do whatever it takes to create bonds with the Walker's. Your mother and I will make way to them after the full moon which is coming up in two days time, Emily and Alex you are in charge of watching over the pack until our return." Nathan said
"What about your beta father?" Emily asked
"He is not to be trusted and if my useless son of a child is half as dubious and well prepared as the young Walker, you would have been my beta now. And not a gamma. Get yourself together son, you are a Hunter don't disgrace me." Nathan said outrightly
"Yes father." Alex replied sadly
★★★
"I need to sign a peace treaty with the Black Wolf Pack, Aaron." Miles said to his beta
"Why? We don't need them in our lives, we are far better, stronger and even more industrious than they are." Aaron his beta said
"We aren't yet strong enough, Aaron... we need to build allies and you know that."
"And you already have allies, the Crystal Pack our dear Lunas pack is already in alliance with you what other alliance do you need?" Aaron asked
"I know out of the eight territories, we have just two alliances, my best friend Nolan's and Madison's home town, and if the black wolf pack can be added, we'll have three including us to make it four out of the eight territories... It's a win-win situation beta." Miles said
"Okay Alpha, your wish is my command." Aaron said giving up
Just then someone came and bowed, it was Alpha Miles' Omega.
"Greetings, Alpha." He said
"Report..." Alpha Miles said
"I just received words from Alpha Nathaniel, it's a request from the Hunter's." The omega said again
"What do they want?" Miles asked
"The Alpha and Luna are seeking for approval to come over for the signing of the peace treaty themselves." The omega said
"Tell them, it is a deal." Miles said
"Yes Alpha." He said and left
After dinner, Ryan and Sophie who were teasing each other, were both interrupted by their father.
"Dad, what do you want?" Ryan asked
"We need to discuss, you and I." Miles said
"Okay then, I am all ears..." Ryan said
"Sophie go to your room, its already late my little pumpkin." Miles said to his lovely daughter
"Okay dad, good night." Sophie said and after receiving a peck from her father, went to her room.
"Ryan, you are the next Alpha of the pack you need to get involved in the activities." Miles said
"Dad, I am already involved, Leo and I have been training everyday of our lives so I am not just sitting idle doing nothing." Ryan said authoritatively
Madison walked in at this time and said
"Calm down boy, he is your father."
"Yes mum." Ryan said humbly
"I am going to sign a peace treaty with the Black Wolf Pack in two days time." Miles said
"What?" Madison and Ryan both yelled out loud at the same time
"Miles, why would you want to sign a peace treaty with the enemy pack?" Madison asked
"Everyone hates them, dad. Of all Packs why them? Even Alpha Cyrus's pack despises them." Ryan said in anger
"How did you know about that son?" Miles asked
"Leo told me about his father's hatred for the Black Wolf Pack." Ryan said
"There have been a prophecy that the entire eight territories will be engulfed in a war and it can only be averted if all eight territories seek peace, that's why I am trying to stretch my hands to that of the enemy." Miles said
"Miles honey, I am very aware of that prophecy. But that doesn't mean signing a peace treaty for some years with the most hated pack will avert it. It will only cause uprisings from the other powerful packs and they might even cut ties with us." Madison said
"So what do you want us to do? Welcome them with open arms dad?" Ryan asked with disgust
"Yeah, please if you can, just do that." Miles said
"If that's all I am going to my room, it's already late... goodnight dad, goodnight mum." Ryan said and walked away
"You are the Beta in the making you need to be there in person." Miles said calling after him
"Whatever dad..." Ryan said
"Goodnight my baby boy." Madison said as Ryan walked away from their presence
"Miles are you sure this is a good idea? I mean of all the packs, why them?" Madison asked still wondering what had gotten into her husband.
"Trust me, it will be the best move, I think and besides it will make us more powerful than the rest of the four packs." Miles said
"Okay honey, whatever you say... Let's go to bed, it has been a stressful day for me." Madison said and Miles followed her to their room so they could rest for the night.
★★★
The Alpha and Luna of the Black Wolf Pack set out for the signing of the peace treaty with the Crescent Wolf Pack.
After close to four hours of driving, they finally got to the gate.
'I have waited for a long time to be able to gain passage into this beautiful territory, it has the potential of being the strongest, most successful and thriving pack. That is why, I need this peace treaty, what is theirs will be mine. As simple as that, no stress.' Nathan thought while a smirk appeared on his face.
"You seem to be happy you are doing this Alpha Nathaniel..." Stella his wife said
"Believe me when I say I am most delighted. Signing a peace treaty will mean having unlimited access to their goods, and since you seem to want to look younger in every way, their styles of fashion differs greatly from ours you see. So you could get access to their fashion brands." Nathan said to his wife
"Good, you seem to think fast, good thinking." Stella said
Just then the big and impenetrable gate began opening
"Stella be on your best behavior when we get there, we don't want to tip off our one chance at making them our followers and allies." Nathaniel said
"Believe me, for the dresses... I will be." Stella said
They got inside the gate and they were taken inside the Villa to a room so as to wait for their hosts.
"Please seat while I go get them." The maid said and left
After about thirty minutes no one came out
'What's taking them a long time to come in here?' Nathan thought
"They are taking us for granted Nathan why ask that in your thoughts rather than say it out loud?" Stella said
"Quiet down will you? the wall has ears... Behave remember?" Nathaniel said cautioning his wife
"Whatever." Stella said
Twenty minutes later, Miles and his beloved wife walked in graciously and hand in hand.
"So sorry for the delay Alpha Nathan, I welcome you to Crescent Wolf Pack." Miles said
"Thanks for welcoming us here with open arms, we are honoured to be here."
"It is my pleasure come on have a seat." Miles said
They all sat down in silence each looking at one another with different thoughts
'Her outfit looks beautiful on her, can't wait to start shopping here.' Stella thought as she looks longingly at Madison
'He looks so confident, let's see if you won't bow to me one day.' Nathaniel thought
'So old fashioned, geez they look too barbaric for my liking.' Madison thought as she stares at the two guests in front of her.
'Where could Ryan be for goddess sakes?' Miles thought
"Alpha Miles, care to get on with the signing agreement?" Nathaniel said jolting everyone back from their thoughts
"Yeah about that, my beta in the making needs to be present to witness it." Miles said
"Okay where is he?" Nathaniel asked
"He'll join us soon enough, we just need to be patient." Miles said
Just then the door opened and Ryan walked in and sat down without saying a word
"Alpha Miles why is your son here?" Nathan asked
"He is my beta in the making." Miles replied
"Oh Hi Ryan." Alpha Nathaniel greeted
"Hi Alpha Nathan" Ryan replied as humbly as he could
"Nice to meet you in person, but why aren't you in school?" Nathaniel asked
"I don't answer to you..." Ryan replied and then turned to his father and said "Dad, let's get this treaty going. Let's not delay it longer than it is supposed to be."
'What a rude little brat... If only my son is this way then I won't have to worry for my pack's future.' Nathan thought
"Indeed son, I agree." Miles replied his son and continued
"State your case Alpha Hunter, what is it you have to say?"
"Okay Alpha Walker, its just like we discussed a while back over the phone, this peace treaty will help both packs expand and claim territories." Nathan said
"I know that very well, but what's the catch?" Miles asked because he feels this isn't just a peace treaty there must be another reason why they would approach him for something like this.
"There is no catch, it is to promote peace only between the two packs and with time others will follow." Nathan said trying his best to convince Miles
"Let me see the documents." Miles said
Nathaniel immediately handed over the document of the peace treaty.
"Nathaniel, from what this place is saying this peace treaty will only last as long as you and I both are Alphas am I correct?" Miles asked after reading through
"Very correct, and when our sons take over they can as well renew it and their sons after them." Nathan said
"Nice, I will sign it hand over the pen." Miles said
"It needs a blood oath, yours and mine to seal it." Nathaniel said
"Okay then, if that's what it takes." Miles said
After contemplating, Miles scratched his thumb and blood gushed out.
He pinned his thumb on the document, Nathan did same and it became valid.
"Okay that's settled, the peace treaty is signed in our bloods. Welcome to a life of peace between us, Alpha Miles Walker..." Nathaniel said
"Yeah it is, settled. Congratulations to us." Miles said
They both shook hands and the Hunter's were about to leave when Madison said
"Luna Stella Hunter?"
"Yes Luna Madison Walker." Stella said as politely as she could
"The Lunas of the eight territories all have a meeting once each year, and this year's is postponed till next year due to some issues." Madison said
"Oh okay nice, thank you for the information." Stella said
"You are invited, if you want us to be at peace with each other, your appearance will be welcomed." Madison said
"I wouldn't miss it, thanks." Stella said
Immediately Ryan stood up from their midst and headed to the school for young werewolves.
Nathan and his wife left to their pack, because Miles and his Luna didn't feel like letting them stay, so they left the Villa and headed home to their territory...
Ryan got to school and as soon as he was spotted a voice asked
"Where in all of the eight territories were you?"
"Duties back at home, sorry buddy." Ryan said
"What duties could you possibly have to miss Elder Raynor's class of test of controlling?" The voice asked again
"You won't believe it even if I told you about it." Ryan said
"Try me." He replied adamantly
"...*sighs* Today, dad had to sign a peace treaty with the Black Wolf Pack." Ryan said sadly
"What?" He yelled out loud
"Shh, come on Leo keep your voice down okay, someone might hear it." Ryan said covering his friend's mouth but it was already too late.
"Actually I already did." Another voice said
"Antonio what on earth are you doing snooping around?" Ryan asked
"It's not like I can just enter into the basement and stay hidden when my twin brother and I are intertwined." Antonio, Leo's twin said
"What do you want?" Ryan asked
"Nothing except of course showing just how powerful I have become." Antonio said proudly
"Jeez no one is more stronger than me in this entire institute and you know it." Ryan said
"You wish, anyways I am not here to pick a fight. Elder Raynor wants you in his office right now." Antonio said
"Of course, I knew this was bound to happen, he must be mad that his favourite student missed his class." Leo said
"Right, Leo please keep this to yourself okay buddy." Ryan said
"I hope I can." Leo said
"You have to promise me." Ryan said knowing fully well his friend can be a blabbermouth if he chooses to be.
"*sighs* fine, I promise." Leo said and Ryan quickly dashed off towards Elder Raynor's office.
Immediately he got inside, Elder Raynor a strange looking man who has different faces, sometimes looks younger and vibrant other times older and frail... was meditating when he said
"Shut the door behind you, boy."
'Oh goddess help me.' Ryan thought
"Sit..." Elder Raynor said
Hearing this order, Ryan knows better than to sit on a chair, he immediately sat down across him legs crossed.
After what seemed like hours, Elder Raynor asked simply
"Where were you?"
"I was at home, I had to do something of great importance for the pack." Ryan answered truthfully
"Hm and whatever it is you were doing was more important than my classes?" Elder Raynor asked again
"No it wasn't, its just that my duties as a Beta in the making was needed today, that's why I couldn't miss it." Ryan said awaiting the worst kind of punishment, everyone says Elder Raynor treats him differently because he was his favourite, but he treats him differently because he wants him to be the best he can be.
"Impressive, duties first before school... Well, whatever you say. For missing my class you are going to practice everything I taught today in your absence until you get it right, you are not leaving do you understand?" Elder Raynor said vehemently.
"Yes Master Raynor." Ryan said.
★★★
"Emily hi again..." Theodore said
"Okay, hi." Emily said and was about to go when Theodore stood in front of her and said
"Emily, I want you to be friends with me."
"Friends with you? Why should I be a friend to you of all people?" Emily asked looking at Theodore with contempt.
"Because we are in the same class and I like you, it's common knowledge you see." Theodore said
"Get yourself together, I don't want to be friends with you, I want to be friends with Ryan instead." Emily stated
"Ryan has his own friends and you can only get close to him if you get close to me." Theodore said smiling
"You are not powerful enough like him, that is why you are in class 10 and not class 18... disgraceful." Emily said
"I choose not to showcase my power so as to be in the same class as you, dear banshee." Theodore said truthfully.
He was powerful, but he was suppressing his powers purposely just so he could be in the same space as the one he has a crush on, Emily Hunter of the Black Wolf Pack.
"They are yet to tell us what we are, how did you know?" Emily asked somewhat surprised
"One of my talents... see you around Emily." Theodore said
'If not for dad's plan I won't have to deal with this thing.' Emily thought and left angrily.
Theodore went back to class and Alex stopped him on the way
"Hi Theodore Walker..." Alexander greeted waving and smiling mischievously
"What do you want from me Hunter?" Theodore asked
"Nothing, just that I see the way you look at my sister." Alexander said
"I don't know what you are talking about." Theodore said and wanted to walk away when Alexander asked loudly
"You like her don't you?"
"..." Theodore didn't reply
"I will take your silence to mean you do, well I can talk to her since she is my twin so that you can both hang out together." Alex said
"What do you want in return?" Theodore asked because he knows the Hunter's always have an agenda at least that's what he feels.
"Simple be my friend, I don't have much friends around anyway." Alexander said
"Fine then, if its just friendship, then let's be friends." Theodore said
"Cool, come by our house some day okay?" Alexander said
"Okay then, we will see about that." Theodore said and left for class.
★★★
Ring ring...
Madison's Phone was vibrating on the little desk in her room, after some seconds she walked towards it and answered.
"Hello, Arabelle Cyrus of the Cyprus Pack, how is your Pack and family doing my dear?" Madison asked as soon as the call connected
"Oh its more than fine dear Madison and thanks to the moon goddess we are all okay..." Arabelle said happily
"That's good to know." Madison replied
"How is home?" Arabelle asked
"Fine as well dear, we are okay." Madison replied
"The moon goddess be praised... Wanted to say, the meeting of the Lunas will be held latest tomorrow evening." Arabelle said
"Oh that's nice... wonderful, can't wait to see you and the other Lunas." Madison said
"Same here... One more thing, it's a question though." Arabelle said
"Sure what is it?" Madison asked
"Well, it came to my notice that you signed a peace treaty with our enemy pack, is that true?." Arabelle said
'Great, everyone knows?' Madison thought and then said
"Just a means of formality nothing more."
"I thought so, just wanted to confirm if it's true or not." Arabelle said
"It is, so how did you find out about this?" Madison asked
"My son Antonio told me about it, anyways, why don't you invite the Luna of the Black Wolf Pack? No one knows what she looks like... Is she even pretty?" Arabelle said
"Oh Arabelle, she is nothing to write home about, her fashion sense, so last season." Madison said
"Haha... let's talk about the meeting, since I will be calling the remaining four Lunas you should be in charge of bringing that loosed brat and our beloved Luna, Avery to the meeting okay?" Arabelle said
"Sure, I'll make sure she doesn't miss it." Madison said
"Good take care, see you tomorrow at the regular meeting place." Arabelle said happily
The call got disconnected and Madison couldn't help but smile.
"What makes you smile so much sweetheart?" Miles asked as he walks out of the bathroom
"Oh the yearly meeting for the Lunas of the eight territories is happening tomorrow night." Madison said
"Oh that's great, it will help us find out what's in their hearts and how everyone is thinking." Miles said
"Exactly and also make good friends..." Madison said
"Nice..." Miles said
"I better go to the store to prepare some gifts for them all you know how it is honey." Madison said carrying her bag
"Yeah you ladies, do your thing." Miles said
"Okay see you later honey." Madison said
"Love you." Miles said and kissed his wife on her lips and the latter left for shopping.
★★★
The next day Madison called on Stella through her cell phone and after two rings it finally got connected.
"Oh hi Madison, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Stella asked over the phone
"The meeting, the one the Lunas of the eight territories will be attending that I told you about the other day, well it will be happening tonight." Madison said going straight to the point
"Tonight? Thought you said it would happen sometime next year that the this year's is cancelled?" Stella asked getting frustrated
"It came to my notice just yesterday that its happening today and tonight so I figured since you said you would like to come why not tell you about it. You are after all a Luna or are you not?" Madison said
"Yeah, uh sure... so where is this place?" Stella asked
"The mountain of the moon goddess, I am sure you know how to find it or would you want someone to come pick you up?" Madison said
"No, I'll find my way there, thanks." Stella said
"But of course." Madison said and hung up
Stella who was beyond mortified was pacing unnecessarily
"Will you settle down?" Nathan said
"Nathaniel, the meeting of the Lunas, is coming up tonight and I don't know what to put on. Madison just called me, apparently she found out yesterday and forgot to tell me about it, just tell me how do I fit in?" Stella said
"You are the most beautiful werewolf there is to find in all of the territories." Nathaniel said trying to soothe his mate
"I know that's why you found me, but my dear I am having a fashion crisis. What if they don't view me as beautiful or high classed?" Stella said worriedly
"If you are having a fashion crisis then just order from the Crescent Wolf Pack and it will be delivered to you in a jiffy. They have the best services when it comes to delivery." Nathan said
"You are one smart Alpha, what would I do without your interference?" Stella asked
"You are my Luna of course I will help and come to your aid whenever you call out for me. You just howl my name and I'll be there." Nathan said
"I love you Nathaniel." Stella said
"I love you too honey, come on you better start ordering." Nathan said as he walked out of their room
Stella brought out her phone and ordered a beautiful dress to wear, one that when she walks into the room, glittering will be her middle name or so she thought.
★★★
Evening finally came and Stella sets out for the scheduled meeting place.
In the mount of the moon goddess, in the middle of the entire territories there is a perfect huge building and temple for everyone to come worship, but for some reasons only the women are allowed in there.
So the Lunas all came into the temple one after the other, some came in two's. A perfect example of such was Avery Hudson and her best friend Madison Walker they are one of most reputable Lunas in the entire land. Their reputation precedes them both.
They sat down on their usual seats one by one at different times, the Lunas came in.
Finally the seats that were eight, seven of them has been filled save one... Stella Hunter's.
"Dear Luna Madison did you forget to invite your new found partner's wife?" Arabelle asked
"Believe me when I say I did invite her and told her everything and that we love being on time and all." Madison replied
"Then why is she taking time to get here, does she think she is worth waiting for?" Avery Hudson asked
"Haha..." They all laughed out loud
"She must be delusional, I hate when someone keeps me waiting for long. If I can make it on time who the hell is she to keep me waiting?" Lilith said getting upset
"Keep calm your Majesty." Avery said to soothe her down and she did.
Just then Stella walked in without saying a word of greeting to anyone, she walked straight to the empty seat and sat down amicably.
There were sneers and stares from the others towards her, she was of course the Luna of the Black Wolf Pack.
Arabelle then spoke up
"Since we are finally complete after hours of waiting, Madison Darling if you may, please give a speech."
"Thank you dear Arabelle, my dear Lunas today we have a new guest in our midst of course, so as our traditions state, she should do the rituals." Madison said
"What rituals?" Stella asked surprised
"She has got to be kidding me." Another Luna said
"Jeez, she really is just a stay in Luna, nothing more, how can she not know about something as simple as this?" Arabelle asked
"Preposterous..." Yet another Luna said shaking her head in disappointment.
"Okay then, since you are the last and new Luna to occupy that seat, you will have to serve your superiors and they will do whatever they please with your goblet." Madison said
"I still don't get it, why should I serve the others? I am equally a Luna like the rest of you." Stella said vehemently
"You can't deny this part of submission now... So go on or there are dire consequences if you refuse, I am certain you wouldn't want that." Arabelle said sternly
"Consequences? Fine, then what do I do?" Stella asked
"Take the goblet pass it round the remaining Lunas if the person doesn't like the energy from you they will do to you as they please." Madison said
"In other words you will be punished." Arabelle said outrightly
"I thought I was invited here to meet with all of you and discuss with one another? No one told me I was here to serve as a waitress or something." Stella said in anger
"You've met us, now its time to serve us." Lilith said
"And it is only when you've served us we can have a nice conversation." Madison said nudging for her to take the goblet
"*sighs* Let's get this over with, how do I go about it?" Stella asked
"I thought you wouldn't ask." Arabelle said
"Serve us first, there is the tea jug we have a long night." Avery said mildly
Stella Hunter took the jug and poured it's content on a goblet but then she walked round and and fed six of them with anger written on her face.
The last one was Lilith, a true queen of royal blood, and a Luna she was the most feared and well respected one amongst them all, that no one dares to get on her bad side else they will face her wrath.
Stella took the drink to her and stood straight without bowing.
"You are to kneel to serve her." Avery said trying to warn Stella but Stella took offense and yelled out loud
"Why should I kneel? She isn't the goddess even if she was I still wouldn't."
"You must be joking right? You don't know who she is do you?" Avery asked
"I don't care, its either she drinks it or she doesn't I don't give a damn." Stella said
"You are in a whole lot of trouble then." Arabelle said
"She must be insane, is she asking for death?" Another Luna said
"Enough..." Lilith yelled and everyone except Stella Hunter chorused
"Yes your Majesty..."
"Majesty? You have got to be kidding me, what is this, some movie?" Stella asked
Avery got upset, because she views Lilith as her idol and she would not stand back while her friend, Idol and helper was being insulted.
She walked up to Stella and collected the cup from her and poured its content on her acclaimed gorgeous dress
"How dare you pour something on my beautiful dress?" Stella said and slapped Avery's face
Everyone gasped in terror of what has just transpired, because Avery is someone Lilith holds dear and they dreaded what would happen to Stella if Lilith got involved.
"You mean to say how dare I pour tea on your night gown, this is a dress commoners use when they go to sleep and you call it beautiful?" Avery said
"Haha..." some of the Lunas present laughed
"What are you to talk back at me?" Stella asked
"You mean to say who is she, I will do the introductions." Lilith said and stood up everyone became quiet as she walked towards Stella holding her golden staff.
★★★
"She is my favourite and you will get on your knees and apologize to my beloved Avery Hudson of the Silver Moon Pack for speaking out of turn and defying her so openly with those little hands of yours, Stella Hunter." Lilith said as she stood in front of Stella
Stella could feel that she was a dangerous person but she felt wronged so she blurted out
"This is uncalled for, this is injustice."
"Injustice? Well, you should count yourself fortunate that I didn't raise my hands on you, else you will be struck with deadly illness. Your heart is as cold as stone and filled with pride when you are nothing but just a weeny little thing. You wouldn't be made Luna if your sorry twat of a husband didn't murder the former Alpha Fabio, when he was just his beta. So you have the guts to stand there and act all mighty like some true born Luna... You a common barmaid just because you became a Luna by chance you think you have the power or statute to talk back at a true Luna, the very first of her kind?" Lilith said getting upset
Stella felt humiliated but she couldn't keep shut because the person in front of her looked scary
"Look here Lilith, or whatever you are called I will do no such thing." She retorted
"Did she just call her by her name?" Arabelle asked in surprise and dismay
"Madison restrain your guest or I will so intervene the goddess help me." Lilith said in rage
"Stella I think you should just do as your are told, kneel and apologize to Avery and be done with it, rather than get struck with an illness that will never be treated and filled with warts on your face." Madison said calmly and truthfully
"Warts?" Stella asked scared
"Oh so you are just a barmaid and you look down on her Majesty?" Avery asked with contempt
"No one told me we have a queen for a Luna." Stella said in defense
"Even if you were told you wouldn't even understand it." Aurora said
"How could you possibly know there is a queen? You were a barmaid and its not a common knowledge only those with enough education would know about such details, disgraceful." Another Luna said
"Kneel and beg for forgiveness I won't ask again." Lilith said sternly
Stella had no choice but to kneel in front of Avery with clenched fists and gritted teeth and said
"I... I am sorry for everything I have said and done to you."
"Now isn't that better?" Arabelle said
"Really sorry your majesty it won't happen again..." Stella said
"I am certain it won't because there won't be a next time, after tonight the yearly meetings will be no more." Lilith said in anger and walked majestically to her seat.
"I couldn't agree more your majesty." Avery said
"Let's all keep calm it hasn't gotten to that your Majesty." Madison said
"Hm..."
Stella then got up from her knees with a stained outfit and a dejected soul, she then sat down all her confidence, pride and dignity flown through the window. She was now self conscious and she felt like trash.
'How can this Avery make me look like this, if it wasn't for her I would never have been called a barmaid, now I am nothing but trash and dung in the eyes of the Lunas of the entire realm.' Stella thought as she sat fuming and gnashing her teeth in anger and frustration.
"Well it's time to introduce ourselves and of course talk about the things our packs and Alpha needs so we get some suggestions that will help us tackle the situations." Arabelle spoke out loudly and everyone applauded
"Well we have some issues with some rogue wolves trying to get into the pack, just yesterday two gammas were killed by them." Aurora of the Eclipse Pack said
"What? Your pack is the most free and peaceful one in all territories, you all are called heavenly, so why would they want to infiltrate your pack dear Aurora?" Madison asked
"Well we opened the great gates so we could bring in some strays but then it seems some rogues sneaked in. And before we could examine and figure it out, well, two gammas were already dead." Aurora said
"That's very bad, anyways, the thing is you should be careful and maybe close the great gates once again." Avery said suggesting
"That's a great suggestion, I will most likely bring it to my Alpha and that would mean not opening the gates to anyone ever again." Aurora said sadly
"I know how much you want to welcome new wolves into your pack and train them to be skillful and inculcate in them the teachings of the goddess. But then you have to do what's best for your people dear Aurora, and right now that's best." Avery said
"Thanks Luna Avery, you are one of a kind." Aurora said
"With that settled Avery sweetie is there anything wrong with the pack?" Lilith asked
"No none actually the entire pack are so loyal to their Alpha so that's all, nothing happening." Avery said truthfully
"Oh good I wouldn't expect anything less from a responsible Luna as yourself may the goddess be with you." Lilith said
'It seems she is the most favourite of all the Lunas that's why she had the guts to act that way with me. I will never forgive this, and I shall never forget this, never.' Stella thought gnashing her teeth
And one by one the Lunas began telling whatever problems their various packs was having and they all joined heads together to give valuable advise to one another.
Finally it came to Stella's turn to give her own reports or whatever was going on in her pack but she remained silent because she was thinking about how she will deal with Avery since she brought insult on her.
"Is she deaf?" Arabelle asked
"Stella..." Madison called out sternly and this startled her and she jolted back to reality
"What?" Stella asked
"Are you going to say something any time soon?" Arabelle asked back
"Sorry I was lost in thought I didn't..."
*sighs* can be heard from the other Lunas it was like their patience were running thin.
"You were asked what problems your pack is currently facing." Madison said
"Oh um nothing, my pack is perfectly fine nothing to worry about and everything is going smoothly. If anything comes up we'll be sure to handle it ourselves, thank you." Stella said the best way she could so as not to give them the satisfaction of seeing her bothered.
"Oh your lies are incoherent, whatever you do. Anyways, that's the end of tonight's meeting we will contact ourselves and discuss about when would be best to meet up again." Lilith said
"Of course your majesty." Everyone including Stella chorused... She had learn her lesson the hard way.
"Okay, goodnight my lovelies and have a lovely journey back home everyone of you." Arabelle said
"You too Arabelle, our spokesman or should I say spokeswoman." Madison said
"Ha..ha..ha" Everyone laughed and hugged each other except for Stella who no one was interested in hugging.
She was nothing in their sights, so hugging her would be embracing trash.
Lilith gave her best friend and beloved Avery, a peck. After bidding her goodnight, seconds later in a blink of an eye she vanished...
While Madison held on to Avery and they both headed down to their cars the same way they came.
Stella was the last to leave she felt so small to be seen walking down the stairs with them after all she was putting on a night dress used for bed more like a pyjamas as they said, so she tried as much as possible to not be seen any more than she was.
After some minutes when she knew no one else was around, with anger and rage, Stella left for the Black Wolf Pack her safe haven.
