My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 14

　　“Lord, that concludes our report” One of the five men who sat at the forefront said, with the remaining five standing, respectively, behind each one of the seated ones.

　　Mats waved with fresh green grass with purple streaks on them, and were spread all over the floor where they sat comfortably. As for the one before them, his seat differed from theirs. A massive boulder chipped to form a great throne, decorated with various ornaments and stones which glowed thanks to the illumination brought by the night sky. He had two men close to him, serving as his aid. One of them stayed by the right hand side of his throne, while the second stayed behind the throne, a small distance away.

　　“I see, so the Hunters have started making their move. Interesting, very well then. It appears we’ll have to send a message to them sooner enough.”

　　The seated ones nodded their heads in affirmation, agreeing with their lord.

　　“Gerund, your pack will take the lead on this one. From the report, it appears they intend on striking from the east, which is the territory of your pack. Gather the Warrior units, enough to send a small message to the trespassers. Give your ‘Gamma’ the order to dispatch the available ones and lead them himself. As the Alpha of your pack, I’ll leave the remaining details to you”

　　“Understood” The one called Gerund responded.

　　“The rest of you should remain on high alert. There is a possibility that this is merely a ruse and their aim is to cause misdirection and strike somewhere else while our focus is fixed on a single spot. That can not be allowed to happen. We must be vigilant, as is our nature.” The Lord said.

　　“Understood” They all responded.

　　“Order your signalers to be extra vigilant, and the Guardians should take more care in their duties as guards to the pups. Hunters should move carefully and should prevent straying from the path and wandering too far.” He added.

　　“Also instruct your Betas to supervise the domestic and trivial matters while you deal with the more pressing affairs. I believe we have an understanding…?”

　　“Yes Lord” They all answered.

　　“Good. That is all, you are all dismissed” The Lord said, waving his hands to signal they should leave.

　　“M-My Lord… There is one matter we have yet to address.” One of the seated ones said, the oldest looking one among them.

　　“Oh? And what’s that Benson?”

　　“Grand Alpha, Lord Asher… It is a matter that has shaken the entire Tribe of Oregon Woods. The members of the packs all seek an answer and we the Alphas also have the burdened question within us…” The Alpha, Benson said.

　　“Spit it out Benson… My patience wears thin” The Grand Alpha and Lord, Asher, commanded his Alpha subordinate.

　　“My Lord… It concerns your bride and mate… What are your plans for the Grand Luna?”

　　Suddenly Asher’s eyes turned bright red as an ominous feeling swept through the Alphas who sat and even the Betas who stood behind them. They felt the cold winds of winter blow harshly, their bodies shivered and shook due to the pressure he exerted from his throne.
