The conversation we had been having was abruptly interrupted by a firm knock on the door. We turned our heads, and there stood one of the council’s attendants, his demeanor a curious mix of professionalism and unease.

“The council has reached a decision,” he declared, his voice slightly shaky. “They’re ready to reconvene.”

With a collective sense of urgency, we made our way back into the council chamber, the air thick with anticipation. As we settled into our seats, the gallery filled once again with a multitude of onlookers, their expressions a tapestry of curiosity and concern. Damon was ushered back into the room, still shackled, still bearing the marks of defeat, yet there was a flicker of defiance in his eyes. It was as if he was grappling with the reality of his situation, unable to fully accept that the consequences of his actions had led him to this moment.

Alpha Morrison stood at the front, commanding the room with an air of authority. He waited for the murmurs to subside before he began to speak.

“The council has reached a unanimous decision regarding Alpha Damon Cross of the Blackwood Pack,” he announced, his tone grave and resolute. “For the crimes of unlawfully disrupting a sacred bonding ceremony, assaulting a pack member, bringing armed wolves into neutral territory without permission, and issuing an unauthorized challenge during a protected ritual, we render the following judgment.”

He paused, allowing the weight of his words to settle heavily over the room, the tension palpable as everyone awaited the verdict.

“Effective immediately, Damon Cross is stripped of his Alpha title and all associated rights and privileges. He is sentenced to two years of imprisonment to be served in a neutral facility overseen by the council. Following his imprisonment, he will be placed on probation for an additional three years, during which his movements and activities will be closely monitored. Any violation of pack law during this probationary period will result in permanent exile from the territories.”

A cacophony erupted in the chamber. Some wolves nodded in approval, their faces reflecting a sense of justice served, while others looked utterly stunned by the harshness of the sentence.

Damon, for his part, had gone pale, his mouth opening and closing as if he were struggling to articulate the disbelief coursing through him.

“Furthermore,” Morrison continued, raising his voice to cut through the turmoil,

“leadership of the Blackwood Pack will pass to Luna Sera Cross, pending her acceptance of the position and formal recognition by her pack. The council will provide support and oversight during this transition to ensure stability.”

The room buzzed with reactions. Whispers and gasps filled the air as the implications of this announcement sank in.

“No,” Damon finally found his voice, desperation lacing his words.
