I scanned the room, taking in the reactions around the table. Some Alphas looked shocked that I’d spoken so bluntly, others seemed thoughtful, and the ones who’d brought their daughters along shot me iry glares that could ve frozen pell over.

Alistair squeezed my shoulder lightly. When I turned, he was fighting back a grin

“That was something else,” he whispered. “I’ve never seen Samoel at a loss for words before.”

‘Did I cross a line?” I whispered back. “I just said what needed saying.”

“Not at all, Alistair assured me, his eyes dancing with mischief. “Man, I wish I could snap a picture of this for Magnus and the guys. They d lose their minds seeing you hold your own with these Alphas.”

I couldn’t help smiling at the thought of the guys back home. My fingers instinctively touched the necklace they’d sent. ‘Based on this gift, I think you’ve already given them plenty to worry about.”

Before we could continue, Alpha King Nathan spoke up.

Alpha Samuel, his voice was calm but carried unmistakable authority, it seems you have some work to handle first. Complete these basic defense measures, then we’ll discuss additional support. He swept his gaze around the tale. “Let’s take a short break before continuing. Several other city packs have matters to discuss as well.

Alistair helped me up, and we followed Nathan and Luna Selena to a small room adjacent to the hall while the other Alphas filed out through the main door.

‘One perk of living here, Nathan said after Conrad closed the door behind us, access to these private spaces. Our ancestors always built hidden paths for quick escapes or private conversations.”

He turned to me with genuine appreciation in his eyes. “You handled that beautifully. Evelyn. Samuel constantly tries to squeeze extra resources from us. You nailed his problem and left him speechless.” He tilted his head curiously. “I wasn’t aware Polaris had sent an aid team.”

“That was my first mission outside our territory.” I explained. Thomas and Griffin took me along. Raymond and Elliot probably still don’t know I went. We needed permission to cross Fury City, but Samuel dragged his feet forever and barely acknowledged us when we finally got through.”

I continued while accepting a glass of water. “Black Obsidian got hit hardest – lost their entire eastern region. Frost Glow and Eternal Night had smaller attacks. The pattern forms an arc, like someone’s systematically testing each city defenses.”

I took a sip before adding, “Honestly, Fury City’s actually safest – the attacks deliberately avoid their territory. Samuels just using the situation to grab resources. We gave them the same help as everyone else – damage assessment, recovery support, defense plans. If he’s expecting permanent royal warriors

stationed there, he s dreaming.”

“We should check if Frost Glow and Eternal Night implemented your strategies, athan said, making notes.

We refreshed ourselves during the break. When I came out, Luna Selena had her ylist make quick touch-ups to ensure I looked perfect for the next round. When we returned to the meeting room, everyone except Samuel had resumed their seats.

My guess proved right. Nathan had barely settled when Samuel strode in with a young man apparently his son-looking smugly satisfied at his late entrance. Nathan wasn’t playing along though, and immediately began discussing matters with the Frost Glow and Eternal Night Alphas before Samuel even

sat down.

As these Alphas detailed their defense improvements and specifically thanked me asking me to pass their gratitude to Alpha Adam, Thomas, and Griffin,

warmth spread through my chest. This was exactly why I wanted to be a Sentinel not for recognition, but to help people feel safe again.

The day flowed more smoothly after that. Samuel avoided me like I had the plague, while others watched curiously, clearly wondering why this teenage girl

had the Alpha King’s respect.

The second meeting fascinated me most. Rather than border security, it focused ch establishing a cross-city emergency communication network. In a kingdom divided by oceans and mountains, traditional messengers often couldn’t deliver warnings fast enough.

The elders presented various proposals – from specially trained messenger wolves to highland signal towers. After heated debate, they settled on a brilliant hybrid system using smoke signals and mirror reflections that could reportedly send messages hundreds of kilometers in minutes.

I scribbled detailed notes on communication strategies and resource plans. This experimental network could revolutionize emergency response. I’d never considered how vital communication was in warfare, giving me a deeper appreciation for what Sentinel work truly entailed.

After the second meeting, we broke for a late lunch. Following royal tradition, Luna Selena and I changed outfits again. This time, I wore a silver-gray silk ensemble – a knee-length coat and tailored pants. The coat’s deep blue lining featured subtle lunar phase patterns that caught the light at certain angles. My

silver low-heeled boots combined elegance with practicality.

Unlike my morning outfit, this one projected authority rather than just beauty. Luna Selena personally adjusted my collar.
