Chapter 41
CARLYLE'S POV
The cavernous hall resonated with a palpable energy as I, the Alpha, entered. The solemnity of the moment hung
in the air, heightened by the presence of letters meticulously sent to the elders of covens, diverse packs, and
formidable groups. Today, they heeded my summons, an acknowledgment of the power that pulsed through the
veins of our gathering.
As the Alpha, my gaze swept across the assembly, noting the varied representatives who stood poised in
anticipation. The weight of responsibility settled on my shoulders, a mantle earned through battles won and
alliances forged.
With a deliberate motion, | had dispatched the letters, each one a call to arms, a summons to discuss matters
that reverberated through the supernatural tapestry that bound us. The elders, pack leaders, and influential
figures, all drawn to this clandestine meeting, carried the promise of unity in the face of impending challenges.
The chamber, bathed in a dim, mystical light, beca tableau of authority and ancient ties. The elders,
guardians of esoteric knowledge, exchanged knowing glances. Pack leaders, each with their own lineage and
tales of conquest, awaited the unfolding disc
As the meeting commenced, my words echoed through the hallowed space, a proclamation of the urgency that
compelled this assembly. The elders listened with a sagacious stillness, the packs with a wolfish intensity, and
the diverse groups with a collective awareness of the intricate web that bound us all.
It was a moment where the disparate threads of power wove together into a formidable tapestry, and as the
Alpha, | presided over this gathering with the knowledge that our collective strength would be our shield against
the looming shadows that threatened our realm.
“I greet you all seated elders, and | am welcoming you to the Moon Shade Pack,” | began.
“Your presence here is so much appreciated.”
“It's alright, Alpha Carlyle. But what did you gather us here for? You stated in your letter that it's something very
important that can’t be delayed. What exactly is that thing?” The Vampire lord asked in his very thick scary
voice..
“Thanks for your question. If you read the letter properly, you would know that this
Chapter 41
meeting is pertaining to the Canthrastras.”
“Yes, it was stated clearly.”

“As you all know that they are beings that have been locked up in the land of Aridah for a long time, but recently
it seems they now have a pathway that we had no idea about.”
“What do you mean by having a pathway? Aren't they still in Aridah confined by the scall?”
“Of course, they are. But the seal is just there as a facade.”
| briefed them about what transpired when | went to the Land of Aridah myself.
“That's incredible. How cwe never knew about this?” They questioned me, and | replied to them.
“It's because they are very meticulous in their actions.”
“All these you said, how are we to know that it’s not just a take on your side?” The Alpha of Tersa pack asked,
and | smiled knowingly.
I and Donald looked at each other for a while, and | nodded my head for him to go bring the weapon which was
manipulated to injure Donnie. In no time, he returned.
with it.
“Does anyone among us here recognize this?”
“No, | don’t think so.”
“This is the motor of the Five Elements Grazer,” | announced, shocking everyone. They all had a look of surprises
on their faces.
“Do you mean that’s the Daseger?” Rex asked cautiously. He never expected it. Neither do I. No one did. We had
to find out about it in the archives. From what | and Donald read about it, the Dasegsr and the Five element
Grazer work hand in hand. Without one, the other wouldn't work. Except if the person who made it could unlock
it powrs, dissolving the connection between the two materials.
“Yes, it is.” | announced and began to brief them about it since not everyone knew about it. Then, | remembered
Donnie’s words. History is sometimes not reliable as no one can
know it all.
“But how did you get it?” Rex wanted to know the details. To other Alphas, they thought he had only been
inquisitive but toand Donald, we understood his concern.

“It was summoned by the White Dasier flower in sway | can’t explain yet. So, we need to find out more
about these people.”
“Okay, if you say that. You mean we should join hands together?”
“Yes, we should. In fact, we need to,” | corrected, my tone firm as | aimed to emphasize the urgency of unity.
“From my findings, they're making sbig plans. It’s no news what they did to our pack and what they can do.
We've all heard about them.”
“What's in it for us?” someone inquired, skepticism evident in their voice.
“From my side, | made a proposition to Alpha Carlyle a few days back if you can recall. | stand on it still,” Rex
chipped in, his words carrying a calculated charm. A sly maneuver to further his own agenda, trying to exploit
the opinions of the seated elders to coerceinto a marriage alliance with his sister. But | was not about to be
manipulated; | had my own gto play.
“Must you find gain in everything?” The vampire lord stood up, facing the crowd. His voice echoed through the
room, demanding attention.
“Those of us seeking gain can leave! While those of us that want to serve our land and protect our own should
raise their hand,” the vampire lord declared at the top of his
voice.
The tension in the room thickened as everyone processed the ultimatum. The silence lingered, creating a
palpable anticipation as | studied the faces before me, waiting for the reactions that would reveal who stood for
self-interest and who stood for the collective defense of our realm.
“So, now. I'll take that as a ‘yes’ from everyone. We're all in support of preparing for this battle.”
“Alpha Carlyle, | have something to ask. These people we're talking about, we don’t know who they really are.
We know nothing about them? How are we going to counter them when the tfinally comes?”
“That's a good question. | was privileged to fight with one of their squad and | know a bit about their current
strength.”
“That's you, Alpha Carlyle. What about us? | remember you clearly saying we're in this together.”
“Of course, we are in it together.”
“With respect to that, we'll begin training sessions for every squad from each packs.”

“Isn't that too far fetched?”
“Indeed, it is.”

“Then, what other options do we have?”
As the discussion unfolded, voices interweaving in a tapestry of opinions and strategies, the room buzzed with a
charged energy. Elders, warriors, and supernatural beings. engaged in a collective effort to solidify the alliance
against the impending threat. Ideas clashed and melded, forming a mosaic of perspectives, each contributing to
the evolving strategy.
However, a conspicuous silence emanated from Alpha Rex. His silence, a calculated move, hung in the air like a
lingering mystery. While others voiced their concerns, proposed solutions, or shared insights, Alpha Rex
remained a poised figure, observing with a shrewd gaze.
The absence of his voice created a subtle tension, a void in the otherwise animated discussion. It hinted at an
unspoken agenda, a gbeing played beneath the surface. As the deliberations reached a conclusion, Alpha
Rex's silence stood as a question mark, leaving the people present to ponder the what prompted his silence.
The alliance seemed united and concluded, but carried the undercurrent of unspoken intentions, setting the
stage for a complex dynamic in the face of the impending threat.
“We really have a long way to go still.”
“Alpha Rex, you're not saying anything.” The grandwitch noted aloud.
“It’s..” Rex was about to speak when his devilish sister spoke up in his stead.
“My brother won't say a word about all these except he marries me.” Rex's jest of a sister said to my
amusement.
“What did you say?” | asked, thinking | didn’t hear her right.
“My brother won't act until we get married.”
“How sure are you?” The vampire lord asked her and she kept mute without words to defend herself anymore.
“Alpha Rex, is that true?” Another elder asked and he shook his head.
“No, it isn't.” He shot Raina a death glare. Raina wasn’t comfortable with his words and wanted to strike but she
didn’t get the chance to say a word as every elder began to

laugh at her childishness and stupidity.
“Anyway, I'll be getting married soon. | announced to everyone's delight but to Raina’s pain. Our gaze met
momentarily and she took her gaze off angrily.
The elders gavea questioning look as to what | meant but | shrugged it off, only smiling.
“Not to her.” I said, and they understood.
