Chapter 4

Damon’s POV

“You should not be questioning my decision.” I roared out.

“Oh yes we should and I hope you are aware that you are not an Alpha quite yet. You are still nothing but a student. The only reason you are standing is because your father, who is the Alpha, is sick. We are accountable to your father but you are still accountable to us.” The head of the council said, causing silence in the whole hall.

“And he Isn’t even married.”

“Such insolence.”

“He can't dictate without being endorsed.”

“I hope you are aware you can't claim the position if you are not yet married. Even if you are the eligible ruler you can’t ascend the throne without a mate. So now you are just feeling like a mere substitute for your father.”

“What exactly do you want me to do?” I asked in a fit of rage because it seemed they were trying to get on my nerves on purpose.

Can’t they see my father was struggling for his life?

“We can’t determine what you are to do.” Neto my dad’s Beta retorted.

“Then perhaps you should learn to stop denouncing what I do,if I am indeed the one making decisions then leave me to it.” I said in a dictative ambiance indicating a tone of finality.

“You haven’t said anything distressing about the war? Are we presumed to sit and wait till war is conveyed to us before we take any motions?” Another official asked unexpectedly.

I kept quiet for a while to make sure I soothed myself down better saying anything more. My face was as cruel as hell and I was already getting irate. I could flare out.

“Well can’t we try to come to terms with them? War is never an alternative and my dad is nauseous right now. We should try to hinder all that for now.” I declared calmly.

It would not be shrewd for us to go to war when my dad was in such an ailment especially when I knew I needed aid from that pack. They had the cure I needed.

“What? Are you trying to say a feared Pack like ours to lay down and beg them to stall the war? Are you cognizant of what you utter master Damon? Are you aware that never in the record of our epoch has it been said that we ever relinquished.” Neto said in tumult.

“There is a first time for everything, are you saying we should go to war with the only hope that we have of getting treatment for my dad? You know completely well they are the only ones who possess that plant and you want us to oppose them?” I questioned the sanity of all the officials.

They were all acting like they wanted my dad dead,I need my dad to stay alive for as long as he can be at least so he can continue declaration.

This was too much work and I wasn’t ready for the tension this mandated.

“We would find another way to heal the Alpha but going to implore them is not the way,” Neto retorted as this time I had it all.

I wasn’t going to handle everything they were saying, this was already a lot of work on me and I wasn’t ready for all of that.

“So what do you want us to do now?” A constituent of the council uttered out.

“I want you all to lay meager, don’t inform me what to do. If you all know you want me to frankly take over you are going to leave me to do what I please.” I said angrily, already relinquishing my mind.

If they really wanted me to take over this they should stop acting like they are influencing my every move.

I know an Alpha is meant to rule and I would do that the way I desire to. Battle will do us no good especially since they knew the power our opponent held.

They knew that they were the Pack that would be able to provide a cure for my dad. They are okay if my dad blundered for his life than for us to beseech for their mercy.

“I would personally talk to them and try to reason with them. My dad needs the cure and I would rather beseech than let my pride lead to his death.” Declaring this enraged the council but it wasn’t their conclusion to make.

“We'll leave this for you to do but make sure you are doing the right thing. It has never been heard that we had to beg for clemency and you would be the first person to insinuate that. If this doesn’t go well I am sure you know your dad will be so disappointed.” Tero Said in a tone of finality and the whole council agreed with him.

“The meeting is dismissed.” I said and left the hall hurriedly not wanting to give attention to anything from anyone again.

I went over to my dads room and stayed at the door as I watched him sleep. His face was very faint and by this time he was already very sickly.

This diluted me and I couldn't bear to see him this sick.

I summoned Neto to meet me in the study and he came in as soon as possible.

“Arrange a meeting for me with the opponent pack.” I said calmly not throwing an eye at him.

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me right, I want to speak with them and I think I should be able to come to a conclusion with them. I need this for my dad and I don’t care what it does to our record.” I said trying to be as calm as I could.

My mind was a mess presently as I didn’t know my dad being sick would affect me this much. I tried my best to hide it from everyone but it really weakened me.

“That is not a sensible thing to do. They could kill you.”

“I make the decisions here not you or the council. If you are not willing to help then don’t suggest.”
