“I would also turn down the position, but only because I feel I am not of the bloodline. If I were the rightful heir, however, I would seize the opportunity without a second thought. You possess the unique ability to assist the Elders in addressing every Wolf and Lycan who has either broken the Law or is likely to do so in the future. Your leadership could restore justice to countless Wolves and Lycans who currently suffer in silence. I truly believe Anton is onto something when he says there’s a reason you have four Mates. Perhaps this is the Goddess’s way of ensuring that the rightful heir can reclaim her legacy.” Uncle Rex’s voice was steady, but I could hear the conviction behind his words.

My Mates surround me, their unwavering support evident in their eyes. They echo Uncle Rex’s sentiments, reminding me that I am the only one capable of making a significant impact for those who have been wronged by their Alphas or fellow Pack members. Noah, ever the reassuring presence, assures me that one of them will always remain by my side. “No one will ever get all four of us to abandon you at once,” he states firmly. “And you’ll have Uncle Josh to guide you through your responsibilities.”

The only voice missing in this circle of support is my mother’s, and as I glance at her, I can almost predict what she will say. “Baby Girl,” she begins, her tone soft yet filled with authority, “after listening to everything from Uncle Josh and Grandpa, I’ve come to a realization. Your Father would have accepted this position without a moment’s hesitation. He despised the idea of anyone breaking the Law, especially when it led to innocent victims suffering in the aftermath.”

Her eyes glisten with unshed tears as she continues, “He never truly understood the reports from the Elders, and now that I grasp the underlying issues, I see why he always questioned their validity. You are your Father’s Daughter in every conceivable way, and if anyone can assist the Elders in restoring peace to our world, it is undoubtedly you. You have your Mates standing by you, a vast family ready to support you through thick and thin, and if I understood Grandpa correctly, a Pack that will protect you at any cost.”

As my family departs, leaving me alone with my Mates, I feel the weight of their expectations pressing down on me. I crawl into Noah’s lap, seeking comfort as I turn to Topaz. “What do you think about all this?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper. I need her insight, her perspective, as we navigate this tumultuous decision together. A part of me longs to flee, to pretend I never uncovered the truth about my identity or the existence of the Blood Stone Pack, yet I know, deep within my heart, that such a retreat is impossible.

“What are you looking for?” Nikolay inquires, his curiosity piqued. I turn to face my brothers, a sense of urgency in my voice. “This Pack was founded to assist the Elders, which means it was home to the strongest, best-trained Warriors. I want to know if they still train their Warriors as they did back in the day, and whether any Pack members who joined after the Alpha’s death chose to stay and fight for justice for their former Pack.”

I ponder aloud what I would do if I were unjustly banished from my Pack. I would have sought justice, and now we understand that this is only achievable if Alayah assumes her rightful place. It would mean waiting for the true Alpha to return, and I would have chosen to remain within the Pack that could potentially grant me that justice, training tirelessly to serve it.

Nikolay jumps in to help me search for evidence to support my theory, while Nathan and Noah discuss how to care for everyone who has ever transgressed the Law. We must ensure that every Pack recognizes Alayah as the Alpha of Blood Stone Pack, and that we will stand with the Elders to uphold the Law, just as this Pack has done since its inception.

We decide that it’s best to address one Pack at a time and allow Alayah to determine where we should begin. After all, she is the Alpha. She possesses the power to compel an Alpha to submit to her, even if she remains unaware of it for now. I can’t help but wonder how long it will take for her to realize the full extent of her abilities.
