1.Prologue
Great chet,headquarters meeting room.
Nyx,looked around the table,taking in all werewolf committee members the alphas of packs from around the world and council members ,today all chairs were full.The meeting room was bursting with uneasiness,tension and trapped spiritual energy.
The only member who seemed unaffected was at the head of the table,Grand Rex.
Anyone would feel intimidated in presence of the old last pure breeded royal.He was a force to reckon with.
His stoicism could easily be mistaken for serenity. His posture betraying nothing.If anything he seemed calm almost too calm. But then again it was difficult to figure out what the old man was actually thinking.
But ,Nyx like the soldier he was had other thoughts plaguing his mind for example delivering this god forsaken news. As if on queue Quintin his best friend the only other soldier in the room beside him tilted his head and met his eyes.
"Let me deliver the news.I am loosing my patience". He spoke through mind link. Nyx knew he was only trying to lighten his burden ,his friend he thought ever ready to stand forefront.
"Speak" ,old Rex voice boomed cutting through the razor thin air.
Quintin glanced across the shallow table . The old man's sliver eyes met his own yellow ones.
"My lord ,The boundaries of headquarters is compromised.One of our own warrior found beheaded along lake of celio". But that is not all
He privately added .Hushed silence fell over the room ,wisps of terror tore through scents of uneasiness . If anything the air felt more and more suffocating by the moment.
This wasn't a single incident put in limelight. Increasing cases of warriors disappearing along the borders only to be found dead and beheaded were reported. But an attack at the center. It was teriffying thought.
As of now no one knew the reasons or culprit. Hence ,packs started blaming each other ,disputes were breaking out ,Alphas were challenging other alphas .The werewolf nation had been peaceful for hundreds of years was in state of distress and emergency.
And so the alphas along with the council reached out to the central governing body . It was logical as the centre was an absolute power therefore could overrule any decision or dispute . It was supreme law .
The Rex territory was formidable force ,both in area and power.Larger than any other pack in the realm its boundaries were humongous, unbreachable,impenetrable.
Even more formidable were its elite class wariors ,comprising of best selcted warriors from all packs .They made together werewolf army frontline.The centre was solid power but ...... clearly that was compromised.
A loud screech of chair captured the rooms attention at once.
Grand Rex straightened to his full height if 6'2 with broad shoulders and straight back . His shoulder length graying hair was artfully tied in a pony tail.And his molten silver eyes held knowledge and unquestionable power.He closed his eyes as if to concentrate ,his ears twitched .when he opened them again they were unfocused and he spoke in a deeper baritone than his own "The wind wispers . The time has come. This is just the beginning ".
His gazed shifted again this time focused . He pinned every member in the room with his gaze " CHOOSE YOUR KING ".
"WISELY ".
