Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: The Letter From The Supreme Council Of Elders

Luke entered Alpha Garrett’s office without knocking.

As Garrett’s beta, he had the privilege of direct access, but he usually announced himself. The fact that he didn’t suggest the letter in his hand was important.

"Alpha," Luke said, approaching the desk. "This arrived this morning via official courier. Supreme Council seal."

Garrett looked up from the paperwork spread across his desk. The Supreme Council seal. That was significant. The highest governing body in the werewolf realm didn’t send casual correspondence. Every letter from the Supreme Council carried weight. Carried authority. Carried implications.

"Set it on the desk," Garrett said.

Luke did, then left without another word. He’d learned long ago not to linger when council business was involved.

Garrett stared at the letter for a moment before reaching for it.

The seal was pristine...the official symbol of the Supreme Council of Elders, the governing body that oversaw all werewolf packs across the realm. Below the seal was his name, written in official script. This was formal correspondence.

He broke the seal and unfolded the parchment.

His eyes scanned the opening lines, and his stomach dropped.

The Yearly Alphas Summit. Hosted in Shadowmere. This year. Less than three weeks to prepare.

Garrett read the letter twice.

Then a third time.

The words didn’t change. The meaning remained the same. Somehow, against all odds and all expectations, the Supreme Council of Elders had chosen Shadowmere to host the most important werewolf gathering in existence.

He set the letter down slowly and leaned back in his chair.

Why?

That was the question that wouldn’t stop repeating in his mind. Why Shadowmere? There were dozens of packs more powerful, more established, more capable of hosting an event of this magnitude. The Blackwood pack could have hosted it. The Blackpaw pack. The Nightfall territories. Any number of major packs that had the resources and the political standing to handle such an undertaking.

But they’d chosen Shadowmere.

A mid-tier pack. A pack that had recently dealt with internal scandal. A pack whose former Beta had been branded a traitor for his involvement in the death of the Blackwood Alpha.

Garrett’s mind went immediately to Victor Thorne.

The blood debt. The contract with the Blackwood brothers. The agreement that Shadowmere had paid the price for Victor’s alleged betrayal. The promise from the Blackwoods that the matter was settled, that Shadowmere was no longer under threat.

Was this about that?

Was the Supreme Council using the Summit as an opportunity to inspect Shadowmere more closely? To determine whether the pack still harbored any form of betrayal? To ensure that there were no lingering sympathies toward the traitor’s family or the traitor himself?

Garrett stood and began pacing.

But no. That didn’t make sense. The blood debt had been paid. The Blackwoods had given their word that they considered the matter settled. Alpha Nicholas himself had confirmed that the threat was neutralized. Sending the Supreme Council to investigate would be redundant. It would be insulting to the Blackwoods’ honor to suggest they needed the council to verify their claims.
