Chapter A crow flies straight, in a perfect line.
"The Luna is basically trying to just brown nose me. Its the usual thing I get. They don't want me to take away their mate's Alpha position, so they choose to act like a blibbering idiot instead." I could feel the eye roll as he said it even.
"Well, I need a meeting with Tank again. Alone. Without the Luna. Think you could keep an eye and let her keep blibbering? Tank is scared of me, I don't want to intimidate him more. We need him to stay on our side. I'm not sure how I can prove this all to him, but I know I will stop it no matter what it takes." I say with certain before telling both the guys I'm headed to the packhouse right now to meet him.
"What do you have in mind?" Vlad asks.
"I am thinking of practicing this new spell I learned. I was saving it for a specific person, but this seems to be more important. Tank may feel like it is an attack on his Luna and pack, I will need Lyciousto help make it a declarationof some sort." Yeah, the spell I was planning to use on Theo. To rip his wolf from him.
"Or, just throwing it out there, you declare yourself the ruler of all races. The vampires already see you as such. Might as well accept the part and show a control even over an Alpha and his mate. Not sure if it will work, but I like living on the wild side." Vlad snickered.
"I like that idea. Plus, if we find out that a mate bond is stronger than your word, I would like a good warm up to this big fight anyways." Lycious agrees with his brother.
"Well, it wouldn't be like I kill her, unless the splitting from her wolf makes her so weak and fragile that she does die, but it's giving him respect that it is his mate, even if she deserves death for the lives she has ruined or taken." I shrugged as I was already heading back.
"Welcome back, AZ. Lycious mentioned you'd like to speak to me alone?" Tank motioned for me to enter as I opened the door to his office.
"Straight to the point and rip off the band aid or do you want some mindless chit chat beforehand?" I ask in a serious tone.
"What is it?" Tank looked clueless.
"When was the last time you spoke with the clan leader?" I ask.
"I leave that for my beta, why?" He really was clueless.
"Things are bad, Tank. The wolves have been making attacks on them and then the mixed mates. I have to step in. I'm sorry. Whoever has made these orders I must hold accountable." I say as stern as possible with little to no emotion.
"Wait, what? That's not possible. My Luna has helped my Betta with things like that. They have this task force to help them, even!" Tank was almost shouting. "Plus, this is my pack, not yours. You have no control here."
"That, is where you are wrong. You see, Lycious and Vlad are my kin. I have both of their blood lines in me, but that isn't all. I, also, am related to their sister. I'm a hybrid of all races. Wolf, angel, demon, vampire, and witch. I am immortal like them. I am, hereby, declared the ruler of all. My word is final. And Tank, your Luna, she is the main cause of the hurt. She even smells of vampire blood. She hides it with magic so wolves can't smell it, but Vlad and I both smelled it on her." I looked at him as I stood infront of him. Ruler of all. Is this really a good idea? Can I really do this?
"I... I have no choice, but to accept your declaration. My Queen, what will be the outcome of my wife if found guilty?" He looks sad but not surprised by anything.
"I will rip her wolf from her. She will be human. There is a small chance though, that it may kill her. We need to figure things out though, I forbid you to speak anything to your mate. I need to disban the task force she has created with your Beta, if your Beta is even involved in it. Any of them that are found guilty will have to accept the punishment or, be sentenced to death." I stand tall.
"Yes, my Queen. Anything you ask." Tank looks even sadder.
"Please insist that Lycious join to observe the task force. Say it is needed to see for the upcoming war. That is all we need of you." I made the plan as I had walked in here. I told Lycious my plan to make the Luna think he actually wants to turn on us, that the wolf race is the only one worthy. With him being who he is, he may get exactly what we are looking for. The set up was too easy.
"As you wish. What about you? In the mean time?" He asks.
"We can catch up. Its been awhile, should catch up properly with your old friend. Vlad stayed with the clan to help the wounded and scared." I smile at him and he gave a short laugh.
"Alright, let's go get us some drinks. I'll link my mate and Beta, so they can take Lycious tonight. They usually do runs at night anyways." He said as he got up to walk with me.
A few hours later and after telling Tank about rogue life, I get an uneasy feeling.
"Lycious, Vlad, is everything okay?" I ask though our link.
"Still helping the wounded here. It hasn't changed much, just makes me more sick feeling if anything. Lycious?" He responded
"This. This. This is bad. It isn't right. They are hurting mates that mix breeds. They kill the vampires and the wolves are silvered. If they are children, the vampires children are killed and the wolves are given to pure wolf families to grow as servants." Its worse than we believed. I need to punish them all.
"Tank, it is time to join the others. Call a pack meeting and have the force at the front to all answer to their fates." I say. I won't punish those acting under their Luna and what they believed were their Alpha's orders.
