Alpha Chase's Pov"Alpha Chase," he called in a hushed voice, Welcome. The elders want to see you immediately. They're waiting in the meeting room."The urgency in Simon's tone only deepened my sense of foreboding."What? How come I wasn't informed earlier? What's going on, Simon? Why do they want to see me so early in the morning?""I don't know, Alpha," he replied, his eyes flickering uneasily. "They arrived not quite long and they wouldn't tell me, but they said it's urgent. We should go."Without further delay, I followed Simon through the grand hallways of the pack house, my headache and anger intensifying with each passing moment.As I entered the massive wooden doors of the pack house, I noticed the people were anxious, like an incident happened earlier.As we approached the council chamber, the heavy doors creaked open, revealing the five elders seated around a table.

Alpha Chase's Pov "I don't understand you Alpha. What do you mean?" "First of all the fucking contract with those humans, how on earth did we lose it?" I asked banging my fists on the table.I could see the surprise on Simon's face, his brows furrowing as he tried to grasp the situation. "Alpha, I apologize for the oversight. The contract was entrusted to a pack member for overseeing, but it seems there was a breach in security. We are currently investigating the matter to identify the responsible party who made us lose it."My frustration simmered beneath the surface, but I took a deep breath, trying to maintain my composure. "Simon, we cannot afford such carelessness, especially in times like these. Our relationship with the humans is delicate, and any breach could jeopardize the peace we've worked so hard to establish."He nodded, a mix of contrition and determination in his eyes. "I understand, Alpha. Rest assured, I will personally oversee the investigation and ensure that the
Royal's POV"Royal you're going to get late for your appointment! Hurry up." Rico yelled."I'm coming,' I yelled back and a few minutes later, I stepped out and saw him in the car waiting. With a pout and frown, I got in and humped. "Do we really have to go to this new hospital? Why can't we go to the former one?"As I got into the car and huffed, Rico looked at me with a hint of concern. "I understand you're not thrilled about going to a new hospital, Royal, but remember, they have better facilities and more specialized doctors there. It's for the best and it's closer to us."I crossed my arms and grumbled, still not convinced. "But the former hospital knows my medical history, and I'm comfortable with the doctors there. It's frustrating having to start all over again in a new place."Rico nodded sympathetically. "I know change can be difficult, but this new hospital has advanced equipment and a reputation for excellent patient care. It might be a better option for us in the long run.
Royal's POVI struggled to find my voice, the lingering fear still gripping my heart. "I... I think I just had a vision, Rico. It was... unsettling. I saw a building, in the pack. It's under construction and suddenly it collapsed, killing everyone within its vicinity."Rico's expression hardened with determination. "There is only one building under construction in the pack. That's the pack hospital. I will call them to do a check-up before continuing. Don't worry, we'll figure it out, Royal. We'll protect our pack and everyone else. Don't panic okay? I'll make sure everything is alright."His words offered a glimmer of hope in the darkness that had enveloped me. But deep down, I knew that my journey was about to take an unexpected turn, again. The threat in my vision loomed over us, casting a shadow on our peaceful life.Rico wasted no time in taking action. He swiftly reached for his phone and dialed the number of the construction team working on the pack hospital. His voice remained
Royal's POVAs the minutes turned into hours, Rico and I prepared ourselves for his mother's arrival. The atmosphere in the pack felt charged with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. News of my vision had spread, and whispers of uncertainty filled the air.To keep my mind occupied, I wandered into the grand library within the pack's main mansion. The shelves were lined with ancient tomes, filled with the collective wisdom of generations past. The smell of leather and aged paper filled the air, and the golden light of chandeliers created a comforting ambiance.I ran my fingers along the spines of the books, each one holding stories of the pack's history, traditions, and beliefs. My gaze eventually settled on a worn leather-bound book titled "The Chronicles of Luna." Curiosity overcame me, and I pulled it off the shelf. The book's pages were yellowed with time, and the intricate calligraphy captivated me.Lost in the world of ancient legends, I was startled when Rico's voice broke throug

"Royal, are you alright?" he asked, stepping into the room.I nodded, trying to steady my breath. "I'm fine, but something strange happened during my meditation. I felt like I was on the verge of a significant revelation, and then it all just vanished."He moved closer and sat down beside me, his presence a comforting anchor. "Do you think it was an interference? Or maybe a warning?" he inquired, ever the pragmatic one."I'm not sure," I replied, rubbing my temples as I tried to process the experience. "It felt like I was so close to understanding something crucial, but then it slipped away.""I understand, but don't think about it t

What could be the cause of his sudden illness?

As the phone rang, my heart pounded in my chest, the weight of the situation hanging heavily upon me."Royal?" Lady Loretta's voice came through the phone, filled with concern. "What's the matter? Is everything all right?"The urgency in her voice only fueled my own desperation. "Lady Loretta," I began, my voice trembling slightly. "It's Rico. He's fallen critically ill, and the doctors are doing everything they can, but it's a long and arduous journey to recovery. I thought you should know. We need you here.""There's nothing I would rather do than be by my son's side," Lady Loret

The phone rang twice before a voice crackled through the receiver, "Hello?""Simon," I said, my voice filled with a mix of anxiety and hope. "It's me.
