Chapter 50

Mason

I woke up the next morning with a sense of purpose. Finally, it was time to make some changes to our pack. The previous day had been a wake-up call, and I was determined to make things right. As the Alpha, it was my responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our pack, and I was going to do whatever it took to accomplish

that.

1 headed to the pack meeting spot and called for a meeting. As the members arrived, I could feel the tension in the air. They knew that something was up. It wasn’t everyone, but there were enough of us here that the news of my decisions would spread quickly, so I decided to start.

“Good morning.” I began. “I’ve called this meeting because some changes need to be made. We can’t keep living like this. It’s time to take action.”

There were some grumblings, but I growled low at anyone who dared to voice their opposition. It was time for a change, and I wouldn’t let anyone stand in my way.

“First on my agenda is the traitors’ cave. It’s been a symbol of betrayal for too long, and I don’t want it to have any more power over our pack. So we’re tearing it down.” My mate had spent her childhood in that da mn dormitory, suffering for things that weren’t her fault. I didn’t want anyone else to go through that.

“But Alpha,” someone spoke up, but I couldn’t find the source. The cave has been there for generations. It’s a part of our history-our traditions, even!”

“I know that,” I replied. “But it’s also a part of our pain and division. We need to let it go if we’re going to move forward from here. Are you with me?”

The pack members exchanged looks, and then most started to nod their heads. Shawn looked particularly grim, and I wished Kora wasn’t in her Luna lessons so I could gauge her reaction to my plan.

In the end, even though we’d talked, I’d decided there was no point in delaying change to keep the minority

As we headed to the traitors’ cave, I felt the adrenaline pumping through my veins. This was a big moment for our pack, and I wasn’t sure how it would turn out in the end. Would the opposition accept it without complaint?

“Let’s do this,” I said, then we started dismantling it, taking out the bunk beds and other furniture, tearing down the walls that had been built on the inside of the cave, bringing it back to the way nature had intended, one board. at a time.. It was a tough job, but I felt satisfied after I began removing each dilapidated piece. I was destroying something that had caused so much pain and division in our pack, and it felt good.

“Alpha, do you need any help?” Shawn asked as he approached me, looking more amused than I’d have liked, considering I was doing this for him and people like him.

“Sure,” I replied. “The more, the merrier.”

As we worked, some of the other pack members came to help. They didn’t say much, but their actions spoke volumes. They were ready for a change, too. Together, we tore down the cave, and when we were done, I was tempted to let out a howl of triumph.

It was a small victory-but a step in the right direction..

Kora was going to be thrilled.

As the sun set that evening, I found myself standing at the edge of our territory, looking out over the vast expanse

of wilderness. It was a peaceful moment, and I felt a sense of pride. Slowly but surely, Kora and I would bring our pack out of the Dark Ages. We didn’t need something like the traitors’ cave anymore.

“Alpha, may I speak with you?” a voice interrupted my thoughts.

I turned to see Eileen approaching me. Kora had been thrilled to croon about how she had people supporting her, too, when we’d bickered one morning about where to start making changes to our pack. Eileen’s name had come up. The young woman seemed timid and shy, but the determination in her eyes caught my attention.

“Of course,” I replied, gesturing for her to come closer.

“I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for our pack,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I used to be afraid to speak up or stand up for myself, but now I feel like I have a voice. I feel like I matter and my mate does too.”

I smiled at her, feeling a warmth spread through me..

“You do matter,” I said. “Every member of this pack matters. We’re all in this together.”

She nodded, a small smile spreading across her face. “I know. And I just wanted you to know that I appreciate everything you’ve done for us.”

We stood there silently for a moment, watching as the last rays of sunlight disappeared over the h orizon. It was a moment of connection and understanding, and it reminded me of why I had become an Alpha in the first place. It wasn’t just about power or prestige. It was about leading and protecting my pack and ensuring each member had a voice.

As the night settled in, I returned to the pack house. I could hear the gentle snoring of the members as I walked the halls back to my own room, and I felt a sense of contentment wash over me.

However, my contentment was short-lived when I opened the door to find Shawn standing in the middle of my room, a grim expression on his face.

“We need to talk,” he said, his voice low and serious.

I knew what this was about. I had a feeling that tearing down the traitors’ cave wouldn’t sit well with everyone, but I hadn’t expected the backlash to come so soon.

“What’s going on?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.

“It’s about the pack, Shawn said, eyes locking onto mine. “Some of the members aren’t happy about what happened today. They think you’re trying to change things too quickly, and they’re worried about what’s next.”

I sighed, rubbing my temples. “I knew there would be resistance, but we can’t keep living in the past. We have to make changes if we’re going to survive and thrive as a pack.”

“I know that, but not everyone sees it that way,” Shawn said, his tone a mix of frustration and concern. “Some of the more traditional members are worried that you’re leading us down a dangerous path.”

“I’m not leading anyone down a dangerous path,” I snapped, annoyed by the pushback on something so basic. “I’m doing what’s best for the pack.”

Shawn nodded, but I could see the worry etched on his face. He knew just as well as I did that some members of the pack would be harder to convince than others. More than that, I was surprised he was the one relaying the whispers to me and not Eddie, my Beta.

As he left my room, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease settle over me. The pack was divided, and I wasn’t sure how to bridge the gap. I knew I had to tread carefully, but at the same time, I couldn’t let the pack fall apart.

I lay down on my bed, collapsing around me.
