Alexisâ POV~
Upon waking, I watched Blake walk toward our bathroom and realized..heâs bigger! Taller..broader! I started giggling.. then, jumping from the bed, I ran next to him âAm I taller? Did I get to be bigger, too? Check me! Am I more than 5â? I want to be! Letâs measure me!â He laughs at me! Laughs! Telling me he donât think so!? I get dressedâ¦my clothes fit the same! The exact same! And he had to link Damon to get him new ones! How is that fair!? Even a little?
After breakfast, we walked into the conference room..and the Alphas had already been seated. Alpha Ian too one look at Blake and smirked âGood Goddess, bro! You grew into a âHoly Fuck! Youâre gargantuanâ overnight!â And the whole table laughed. Then Alpha Raymond asked âCan you explain whatâs happening? This is a lot more than packs being decimated and Alphas being taken out.â
I looked around the table, feeling their energy and feeling deceitful because everyone drank coffee laced with truth potion and even Blake didnât know. Helena thought it would help us know where we are going to be with allies in whatever this fight would be. I made sure each of them saw my eyesâ¦then I spoke âMy mother was a powerful witch. Nineteen years agoâ¦she met her true mate. He couldnât be with her. He was force mated in an arranged relationship. His obligations to our kind outweighed his right to happiness. My mother understood this..and made the conscious decision to mate with him anyway. I am the result of that. If you have noticed the color of my eyes.. you should be aware of the legends. Our Alphas are being targeted and assassinated. Our people systematically wiped out. My mateâs wolf, Athos, is a first wolf. Born again, each generation, in search of his true mate..his only mate. My wolf, Arielle, is a first wolf. She has always been Athos mateâ¦until nowâ¦since they were first mated, in the beginning of our species, they had been prevented from being together. Usually, she was found and killed, before she reached maturity. My mother sacrificed her own happiness so we could be together in this generation..for the first time, in centuries. Mother Moon and Hecate, the Goddess of Earth joined together for this to happen. Had it not⦠wolves would cease to exist. We would die out, because of the stupidity of a group of wolves believing they are superior..and should be the only ones to control the population of our species. Athos and Arielle need help in preventing thisâ¦. Now is the time we all have to band together and rise up against eradication!â
Alpha Raymond spoke first âAre we supposed to just take your word for it? Just believe there is someone out there willing to go against the whole of the werewolf nation and commit mass genocide?â
Blake said âAbsolutely not. We are prepared for you to not believe us at all. We are asking for your help because we do not want to lose anymore than we already have. I am not a fool! I know who my true allies are. I know who would stand with me at the gates of hell banging for entry, if needed. The three of them sit at this table. But, I also knowâ¦the more allies we have.. the strongerâ¦more powerful we become! Damonâ¦play Lauraâs confession.â
The end of the video had everyone erupting into anger..Blake held his hands up.. âI am sure Michael is not the only Alpha these rogues have approached. We have proof this has been happening in Canada.. over the last year. After Ian nearly died..several men from the attack had ran away before it happened..and came here. Their Alphas had been murdered. Today is not only a day of decisions.. it is a day of action, gentleman. Michael is in my cells. He will be brought here..you may ask as many questions as youâd like.. in the end, you will decide his fateâ
I had been watching Alpha Byron. His eyes kept shifting around the room. He was uncomfortable during Lauraâs video. He hasnât really asked any questions. âAlpha Byronâ¦whatâs on your mind? You havenât asked any questions. Youâve had no inputâ¦havenât contributed to the conversation. Are you not concerned?â
He smirked at me âWith all due respect, Luna Alexis, whether I contribute to a conversation or not, is my business. Whether I believe these ludicrous assumptions or not..again is my business!â And I laughed âDid yâall ever notice when someone starts a sentence with âall due respectâ itâs because they know they are about to be disrespectful as hell.. itâs like when I end my sentences with âbless your heartâ because everyone gets pissed off if I end it with âdumbassâ! Again, Byronâ¦no offense!â
Blake busted out laughing âBabyâ¦no offense is another oneâ¦. Knowing youâre being offensiveâ and we all laughed again. Alpha Bernard speaks up âI have no problem asking Michael a few questions. Turning on your own kind.. for money! For any reason⦠But greed!? Letâs get that trash up here!â
My mate says âHe is on his way.. What we are going to need to do, is each of us contact our allies⦠report what is happening..have them contact their allies.. and so on! I would like to keep it low key. Not blare it over a loud speaker, so to speak.â
Matthew brings Michael in⦠looking a little worse for the wear..and cuffs him to a chair, facing all 13 Alphas. Everyone sat silently a few moments.. just staring at him. And then, Ian spoke âYou came to my home.. not because it was your duty as an ally.. but because Blake threatened you. You had already been there, though. Hadnât you! You came with the men who attacked me. You showed them the easiest way to get to my pack houseâ¦the quickest way to murder me! And, yet.. you still had the balls to sit at my table and break bread, after Luna Alexis healed me! You didnât know that.. did you!? You just thought your buddies fucked up! You are going to die, Michael. Painfully! And I am going to have a hand in it!â
Byron yells âWe canât go around executing Alphaâs. He has a right to a trial⦠a hearing! Why have you not notified the king? Contacted the monarchy?!â I snapped âBecause they fucking Know⦠you insipid twit! Where do think the money is coming from to fund this farce?! You arenât that much of an idiot! So you must be in on it. When you leave hereâ¦and contact the people whoâs asses youâre kissing⦠You tell them⦠You make sure they fucking know⦠The White Wolf is coming!â
