Chapter 20: The Council of Alphas

Chapter 20

~Valerie’s POV~

I turned just as Coach Stein pivoted and stormed toward Brielle’s group, his face a deep shade of red.

He looked furious—veins bulged on his forehead and arms, and I could almost swear I saw smoke coming out of his nostrils.

"You," he growled, pointing at Brielle’s friend who had been saying heaven-know-what to him since. "You distracted me just to pull this stunt?"

"Professor Stein—"

"Save it," he snapped, then turned to face Brielle. "Brielle, you and your group—clean this mess up. If you have any injuries, go to the infirmary. And congratulations—after-school detention for an entire week for you lot."

Brielle paled. "W-what? But—" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"One more word and I’ll make it two weeks."

She clamped her gutter of a mouth up instantly. I smirked, turning my back to her and heading toward Isla and Astraea, who were grinning like maniacs.

Kai, Axel, Dristan, and Xade watched from the bleachers. I couldn’t tell what they thought. Did they think I had gone too far like a few of the others or...

I brushed that thought off. It wasn’t my business.

Whatever. I had won this round.

*****************

~Author’s POV~

The High Council Chamber loomed over the city like a silent guardian. Its towering structure stood as a symbol of the werewolf kingdom’s power. The air was filled with tension concerning their latest kingdom wild matter.

A massive round table sat at the centre of the dimly lit hall, surrounded by ten high-backed chairs—four of which were occupied by the reigning Alpha Kings.

Around them stood the advisory elders, representing each of the five regions. Their faces were lined with age and wisdom, though unease flickered in their eyes.

And then there was him.

Seated at the head of the table, silent as a shadow, was Alpha Storm—the Grand Alpha.

The strongest alpha to have lived in the last fifty years. His very presence commanded attention as his aura suffocated the room.

His hair, now dusted with streaks of silver, did little to diminish the sharpness of his cold, steel-like gaze.

Tension stretched thin as the council members sat in grim silence—some tapping their fingers against the polished wood, others lost in thought, their gazes fixed on nothing, while some tapping their feet against the tiled floor.

Finally, Alpha Xavier cleared his throat. "Since the issue with how to handle the rogues remains unresolved, can we move on to other pressing matters?"

"Such as?" Alpha Draven questioned, his emerald-green eyes glinting under the dim lighting. His resemblance to his son, Kai, was unmistakable—the same sharp jawline, the same dark, commanding presence.

Alpha Xavier leaned forward, lacing his fingers together. "Someone is digging into the past from ten years ago."

The words were like a spark in dry wood. Gasps rippled through the room, expressions shifting from indifference to alarm. All except one.

A heavy silence followed before Alpha Xavier spoke, his voice steady. "What must we do to find whoever is responsible? Whether it’s an individual, an organisation, or an enemy from the outside?"

Several pairs of eyes turned toward Alpha Storm.

The Grand Alpha remained motionless as if he hadn’t heard them. His gaze was distant, unreadable.

"Grand Alpha," Alpha Rhian, the Northern Advisory, called out in a somewhat soft tone as if a child was trying to poke the big bad bear.
