I looked at the taunting Alphas coldly, but my word of warning was taken as a joke.
“Hahaha! Look, the wolfless daughter dared to threaten us!” Another Alpha taunted.
“Well, she is better than the daughter who became the Alpha, she really did not even get suspicious about us till the end!”
“Ahahaha!”
The Alphas laughed as they looked at Vanessa and I with mockery on their faces. I took a quick glance at Vanesssa and the rest of the warriors and they were all not looking good.
Perhaps, it was because this was the very first time that they faced blatant mockery. Unfortunately, the moment father was buried, the respect and reverence for our Red Moon Pack had also expired.
As for me, I lived half of my life in oppression and endless despise by my own pack, so seeing strangers acting like this toward me is no longer a new thing.
That is why I still remained calm as I swept through the crowd and saw a familiar figure.
“Alpha Anon, it seems like you no longer need the ‘thing’ we agreed on for you to be appearing on that side?” I looked at Alpha Anon who had already tried to extort us with the Anderalesia flower just recently.
Alpha Anon seemed to sigh, appearing that he had no choice but to stay quiet earlier, but now that I singled him out, he had no choice but to walk on our side and face the other Alphas.
“Really, Alpha Anon?” They were shocked to see Alpha Anon taking our side as they insisted.
“What can you get in protecting a pack who only had women to lead them? This Red Moon Pack is basically dead and up for everyone to swallow! Why are you standing there appearing to be a magnanimous hero?!” Alpha Williams shouted angrily.
But Alpha Anon only softly answered, “Comrade, please understand. My pack is in a 100-year peace treaty with the Red moon pack. As an honor to my name as an Alpha, I have no choice but to express my goodwill.”
After his words, he retreated, only appearing to watch from the sideline.
I clenched my fist at his actions, indeed, the treaty is not enough to pull Alpha Anon to defend us at all.
The least he could do is to step aside and not be an enemy. However, the situation is not appearing to be better this time.
Alpha Williams and the rest appeared to be insulted by the development of the situation. It appears that they were wary of Alpha Anon’s pack who is known for their speed.
They only relaxed when Alpha Anon also expressed that he would remain neutral at the moment.
“Our senior Alphas of the renowned packs, can we not negotiate in this situation? As you all know, our pack specialized in poison… So if you find it beneficial, as long as you let our pack go, any of you can commission us whenever there are cases of poisoning in the future.”
“Our pack will be willing to help and deploy our resources and talents to help you in time of need. All the antidotes that are available to us… we will give as requested”
“In exchange, please let our pack go and we are willing to put this on paper.”
I calmed down and started to negotiate, hoping that some of the Alphas would be enticed and also step out of the scene.
At my words the Alphas were silent. They were surprised by my bold offer that I suddenly pulled without even discussing with Vanessa and the Red Moon Pack elders.
Vanessa and the rest were also clenching their fists, praying that the deal would be enough to entice the Alpha. Fortunately, they seem to also agree and understand why I offered such conditions.
Offering all our antidotes upon request is a heavy deal, that also entails us to become the potion slaves of all the packs that would agree on our terms.
But Vanessa and the rest knew that this is the most valuable and precious thing we could offer at the moment to save the people.
“What do you think, revered Alphas?” I looked at them carefully and waited for their answers in respect.
