However, all they had brought was an edict from the King, one the elders behind the table read with troubled faces.

“Enough with all this mystery! Say what news came from the palace already!” Stephanie roared, furious.

I was tense too. What did any of this mean?

The King, who almost never showed any sign of life, had chosen this exact moment to appear.

“Silence, everyone. I will now deliver the words of His Majesty, the Lycan King!” the head elder said, and the whole square went quiet.

He took the sealed parchment, wrapped in golden paper unlike anything I had ever seen, and unrolled it to read.

The first lines were basically protocol, until he reached the order that changed the entire game.

“By order of His Majesty, it is decreed that whenever there is a dispute over power in the territories, the law of the firstborn shall apply, granting the eldest Alpha son the absolute right to prove his leadership in the pack first.”

He said it, and every eye landed on Efrain. He was the firstborn son of his family.

And he was an Alpha too.

“That can’t be true! This is a trap that woman made up!” Lucio’s stupid mother shouted, interrupting.

“BE QUIET! How dare you call the word of the Lycan King a lie?!” one of the elders snapped at her, and the hostility in his voice shut her up the moment she sensed the danger.

No one dared say anything against the King, much less in public.

“But… but how can there be such a coincidence…?” She stammered what, honestly, we were all thinking.

Even I was staring at Efraín like an idiot. Had I underestimated him? Had he somehow put together a very believable forgery?

But his confused face, caught somewhere between happiness and shock, told me he knew nothing.

He even looked at me too, and I gave the smallest shake of my head.

Stephanie was looking at me as well, hatred catching fire in her eyes.

“Please show us the parchment. I’m not calling it a lie, but we should properly check His Majesty’s seal,” Lucio said, his voice cutting through the commotion as he approached the table.

“You have to admit this is far too convenient for the situation.”

“It is only a coincidence. It appears to be a law His Majesty has sent to every pack…. I’m sorry, but unless you challenge your brother, there is no other way.”

He said it suddenly, adding something new.

“Challenge? Why don’t you read the entire thing at once?” Stephanie said, exasperated.

“If you would let me finish,” the elder muttered under his breath.

And just like that, I went from relief back to uncertainty.

“Even so, if the pack does not approve the firstborn and there is another candidate, the fight for the position shall be put to a vote!” he read from the provisions of that unpredictable King.

“The firstborn Alpha may be challenged, and he, in turn, may choose to defend his position himself or appoint a substitu…..

“Of course I challenge him! And I think everyone here knows Efraín is a coward, that he’ll be useless as Alpha and that he only acts brave because he’s hiding behind that novice Estingia!”

Lucio jumped in again without even letting the elder finish.

He hadn’t heard one important detail. But I had.

I called Efrain to my side and gave him a few instructions.

“Then let’s hold the vote,” Stephanie said, looking at me with open challenge before turning toward the rest of the pack behind the cordon of warriors.

“And remember very well the benefits I am offering you. I will be watching every face and every hand raised….”

“Lady Stephanie, you cannot buy people like that,” the more sensible elder tried to intervene, but the hook had already been thrown.

Of course, I didn’t need to listen when he asked who was in favor of allowing Lucio to challenge Efraín for the position.

Most raised their hands. They did it for Stephanie’s minerals, and because people liked chaos, fights, and blood.
