Jeremy's POV
After my conversation with Miss Jenny, I got everything arranged for Bellona and William to share a room. Now I am currently standing next to Brandon, the Alpha, waiting for the council to arrive.
"How far out were they when they called you Jeremy?"
"15 minutes sir."
"Alright, we have about 5 minutes before they pull up. Let us go ahead and stand out front in case they are early." He suggests.
"Sounds good Alpha. Never a bad idea to be prepared." I reply with a nod, walking with him to the front of the packhouse. Not even a minute after we walked out to wait for the council to arrive 3 large black SUVs pulled up in front of us. The council members had officially arrived.
The council consists of 5 members, all of them highly tested and ranked, 3 of them are elders while the other 2 are a bit younger but still older than most werewolves. When a werewolf becomes a council member they are sworn in with a blood and soul oath, binding them till death. This also means they usually outlive the average werewolf, due to the oath. No one can explain or understand why the oath causes this but for some odd reason, it does.
The door of the lead SUV was the first to open, the other 2 following. Alpha Brandon and I silently waiting for all the council members to get out before properly greeting them.
"Welcome to the Red Dawn Pack and thank you for coming on such short notice." Alpha Brandon greeted them, both of us slightly bowing our heads in respect for the wolves before us.
"Of course, Alpha Brandon, we understand the importance of your... situation and set out immediately after receiving the call." The reply came from a much older gentleman. However, even with his age, you could see he was still strong, and his aura held great power.
"Well, why don't we go ahead and get your things inside to your rooms. would you like to get settled before we start our meeting?" Alpha Brandon asked while motioning everyone inside.
"That won't be necessary these matters should be discussed at once." Came the impatient reply of one of the younger members.
"Very well. I will have a few of my men set your things into your rooms, while we go-ahead to the meeting room and get started." My alpha replied with a tight smile, knowing nothing can be said about any disrespect shown to him by the council.
Looking over my shoulder I could see a few other members of the council glaring daggers at the younger man who spoke disrespectfully to Alpha Brandon. Seems like someone is not very well-liked by his companions. I thought to myself, still walking in step with my Alpha towards the meeting room.
Once we reached the meeting room, we all quickly made our way inside and sat down at the large wood table. Already having the documents ready for the council to look over, I handed out the papers before returning to my seat next to Alpha Brandon.
“I have ensured all the information we have regarding the rouge attack and Bellona’s condition are in these reports I have given to each of you.” I stated, earning nods of understanding from everyone at the table. I also noticed Alpha Brandon looking at me with appreciation for what I had done.
We all sat silently as the council members went over the reports separately, knowing they would discuss what they had read with everyone present to conclude about these findings. After about 25 minutes all the council members were done reading the reports and we began to try to come to a conclusion or reasoning for the rouge attacks and Bellona’s situation.
“Well, Alpha Brandon, do you want my honest opinion?” Asked the oldest woman of the council
“Yes of course.” the older woman looked at the other council members around her before nodding her head slowly.
“Miss Bellona needs further tests done before we can come to a solid conclusion.” she replied
“Very well, what tests would you like done? I can get our doctors on it right away.” Brandon told her. The look on her face told me I would not like what she had to say.
“No Alpha, we need to take Bellona with us. Back to the main council.”
Yeah, I knew I was not going to like it...
