SWNOVELS Chapter 253
Chapter 253: Theo
Alpha Vincent's request had caught both Ayla and me off guard. While Sister
Mona explained that what they were asking was entirely possible, I realized that
talking to them one at a time wasn't going to work anymore. Before we got farther
into the conversation, I moved us to a conference room and sent Briggs and
Jimmy to gather the rest. As soon as they were all present, we went over
everything we already knew.
I couldn't deny that the story was starting to annoy me already. It didn't help that I
kept thinking about my father and what this could mean for him.
Once Mona was done, Luna Aniya shared her story and Alpha Vincent presented
his proposition. I noticed several of the others increased interest in this part in
particular.
“We have been experiencing the same concerns in our pack,” Alpha Weston
said. “It's why we have increased out research budgets so much.”
“Us as well,” Luna Victoria added.
[i
“With all due respect,” Alpha Trent interrupted, “while I sympathize with these
concerns, how do you expect us to believe you somehow magically have the
solution to all of our problems? And that the solution is for you, the Alpha who
already has the biggest pack, to gain even more power? This is a long way from
the assurances you were spouting just yesterday.”
“Alpha Trent,” Kingston growled warningly. “Luna Ayla and Alpha Theo have no
intention of..."

“Oh, hold your breath, ALPHA Kingston,” Alpha Trent snapped. “We all know
you're not exactly an objective party here. Which also doesn't help their cause.
All I see are the two most powerful packs joining up against the rest of us.”
“If that was the case, it would be incredibly foolish of us to bring you all here and
tell you our plan,” Kingston shot back.
“We all know your tactics, Amvarov,” Alpha Trent retorted. “You thought you could
intimidate those of us not gullible enough to go along with this.”
“Enough,” I called firmly, silencing the room. “This isn’t a ploy or some kind of
scare tactic. This is a meeting of equals. We will speak to each other as such.”
“Agreed,” Alpha Harden offered in support. “We have been provided with enough
issues to address without creating more.”
“Still,” Alpha Gregory of the Moonvalley Pack interjected, “Alpha Trent has a
point. This doesn’t speak towards the promise you extended after the execution.
An execution you performed on your own without getting the approval you called
us all here to ask for.”
“We didn’t ask you here for permission to execute a traitor,” Ayla said. “We asked
you here to help us address the Waar P ak and their activities in all of the pack
territories.”
“Because mixing words isn't manipulative at all,” Alpha Trent stated.
“Alpha Trent,” Harden barked. “That's enough. “What else would you have them
do? If this is your vote against them unifying the Moonstone, then we accept it.
But insults and antagonizing won't be necessary.”

Alpha Trent scoffed. “Please, we all know they are going to do it,” he stated. “And
I'll admit, it may be the best option. Because I'd rather only have to worry about
one magic rock than two. However, I refuse to accept that it stays in their hands.
If this Moonstone is as powerful as the legends say, then we might as well say
goodbye to our packs right now because there will be nothing stopping them from
taking over.”
The room fell silent. He had touched on the part that was harder to argue
against. I had been up most of the night worrying about that as well.
“That is a valid concern,” Alpha Patrick concurred. “Right now, we are only left to
take your word that our way of life won't be uprooted. And even if you stick to that
agreement, you can't make that guarantee of future generations. Sister Mona's
history lessons has reminded us what this kind of power can do.”
“We won't be keeping the Moonstone,” I said calmly. “Regardless of whether we
reconstitute the Moonstone or not, both halves will be protected by a neutral
party. The Moon Haven Order.”
“How do you propose that will work?" Alpha Weston asked. “From what I gather,
the Moonstone should be in wolf territory for it to remain affective. The Moon
Haven Order is a hundred miles into human lands.”
“I plan on moving them back,” I explained.
Alpha Trent laughed bitterly. “Let me guess, and set them up in Greytooth
territory?”
“No, Alpha Trent,” I replied forcefully, pushing my aggravation down. “Wherever
the Order sets up will become neutral territory. No Alpha or Luna will have power
on their land. And recruitment will not only be

Alpha Trent's scowled even more at the mention of his pack losing territory. “And
what about the rest? They don’t have to sacrifice anything.”
“There are plenty of other things we can contribute,” Alpha Vincent offered. “The
Order will need to be outfitted and maintained. An annual supply contract would
be an agreeable contribution.”

“I think moving us here is a wise move,” she replied. “And we have plenty of time
to work out the details of that. However, we are running out of time to join the

“What do you mean?” Ayla asked concerned.
