“Ok, back to the war efforts. I have a couple of updates and Alpha Keenai has an update from his agent that is undercover with the rebels. He has gotten closer to the dirty council member and could send us more footage. The dark lord has finally shown his hand to the councilman and has backed the councilman into a corner. I think we can move on to the councilman soon and get his corporation. I’ll let Alpha Keenai share the footage before I add my update. It will explain some of what you will hear in this video.”
We all get quiet as Alpha Keenai takes the reins.
“This video was forwarded to me yesterday. I think it was soon after the council had an emergency meeting after it was confirmed that dark magic was used on an alpha.” Alpha Keenai says and starts the video.
In the video, we see the councilman approaching a figure in a long dark robe with a hood on. His face is covered. Why do all evil people always appear as hooded figures? For once, can they appear like a normal person? Tamaska just huffs at my thought.
“Torooq, what the hell are you doing? Why would you target an alpha? I did not authorize that. We are supposed to be staying under the radar until we had everything in order. You need to fall in line before you jeopardize everything that I have worked hard for.” The councilman says.
‘First of all, you need to watch how you speak to me. I do not work for you, nor do I take orders from you. You filthy dog. Do you really think you are in control? I found you. I put the thoughts in your head. I fed your greed so that you would do what I needed you to do and get me a way in. Do you not know who I am?”
“What is the meaning of this? I built your army. They answer to me. Without me, you are nothing.” The councilman says.
Even I know you don’t say things like that to some hooded dude. You never know what he would do.
Torooq or whatever his name is hands start to glow red. He lifts the councilman off the floor and tosses him into the wall.
“I have been around since the world was created. I am the original fallen angel. All I needed was a body and a way in. You are just a puppet and my second choice. The vessel I wanted to have much more promise than you ever will. He was ripe for my picking, but his fate changed at the last minute, so I was forced to pick a backup, and there you were, sitting on the sidelines craving more and more power. Jealous of your family members who had a higher position than you. You even used your daughter to try to gain power through your grandchild. I wonder what would happen if I were to tell your angry grandson the truth about his parentage. What would he do if he knew you and his mother lied to him about who his father really is? You know as well as I do that that royal werewolf never touched your daughter no matter how many times you forced her to try to seduce him. Not even when you drugged him and locked her in a room with him. The sad thing is, while you were trying to put your grandson on a royal wolf, his actual father, me, is the most powerful magical being ever created. Like my creator, I have power over all the elements in the world. I can create and destroy through magic. I can influence others to do my bidding. Only other were-animals that are protected by the moon goddess are resistant to me, but thanks to your little research, I found a way around that and learned how to get to the moon goddess’ precious wolves. Once they fall, the rest of you will be easy picking for me and I will finally rule this world as I was always meant to do.” Torooq says.
“That will never happen. My army will not follow you.” The councilman says.
“Your army is already under my control and I suggest you leave this area before I take away your free will and make you another puppet. The only reason I haven’t is that you are still useful to me. Oh, and don’t get any ideas about crossing me. I have someone close to your grandson. He can be taken at any time or I can just tell him the truth about how you used his mother, and you were the one who actually killed her after she refused to continue being a pawn in your power quest. I still owe you for her death. She was one of my favorite toys after all.”
The councilman turns and leaves. The video ends after that. We are all quiet. I don’t think anyone knows what to think. The goddess did tell me that the dark lord was an ancient evil and it would take all of us to defeat him.
‘Ok, I guess we can safely say that the shit has officially hit the fan.” The king says. “As you can see, we are dealing with more than just a rebellion. I believe the rebellion was just a distraction to keep us from seeing the real threat.”
“Your Highness,” I say
“Yes, Seleste.”
“When I was with the moon goddess, she told me that she created our ancestors especially to balance the power on the earth. The first Protector was given an equal amount of power as the dark lord to counteract all of his dark influence. She told me that she has given me all of the power of the first Protector, but we will need all of the original warriors to win this war. The one thing she told me that I have not shared is that most of our team is representative of the original warriors of the moon. In fact, I believe, we have an actual original member of the warriors of the moon.”
“So, she told you who I really am?” Councilman Bari asks.
“Yes, she did. She also told me that you are my guardian.”
‘That’s true. That’s why I have always been involved with your training. I was once very close to Fenroe. We fought side by side for more years than I want to mention. I then trained and fought with all of his descendants. The goddess told me when Fenroe decided to take his rest, that he would have a descendant that would have every one of his powers, and it would be a time when the dark one would rise again. Since the dark one is immortal, all we can do is limit his influence and if successful, lock him back in the prison created for him by his creator.”
“Ok. Now that we have sort of ventured into my first update of the team. I may as well dive in. Each and every one of you has worked with the protector for generations. The reason your packs have always been chosen is because you all are directly descended from the original warriors of the moon. Those warriors were from every were species and the magic community. Madam Iris, who I sent to Alpha Blake is also one of the original warriors of the moon. Many of them are nearly immortal, so they are still around. The others will be joining us in this fight. Each one of your packs has unique members with unique and special powers. Alpha Clark, your pack are mostly elementals, Alpha Blakes's packs mostly have super strength and telekinetic ability. Alpha Keenai, your den can manipulate electricity or any electronic device. The mystic coven is ancient and has almost the same gifts and powers as Seleste. What most don’t know is that Mystic Coven vampires are day-walkers. King Joachim and Queen Ambrosia are both Original vampires although the world thinks they are their descendants. Alpha Connor is distantly related to my great grandfather and has the ability to strategize like the original alpha. That ability has also been passed down to Young Trevor. Now the reason that I am telling you all this is that we need everyone to be operating at 100 percent in their areas of expertise and strength to win this war and save the supernatural community.”
“Your Highness, if he is immortal, how are we going to be able to defeat him or lock him back in the prison he got out off? How can we keep him there this time?” Jarvis asked.
“That is a good question, Alpha Blake. Believe it or not, it is really simple. He actually revealed part of the puzzle to us. He has a son. Madam Iris can do a blood call blood spell to lock him in a location, but we will need blood from his son. After getting him locked in that location, we will need the blood of all originals and direct descendants to seal him there through the spell of an original angel or descendant of one. Before you ask, we have one on our team. You met him, Alpha Blake. He came to your pack to help you. Do you remember Jareth? He is the descendent of an original angel and original magic. He was placed on earth to come back the dark lord’s magic.” The king says. “Now we just have to strategize to get everything in order. That’s where Young Trevor comes in. I gave him the task of researching the parentage of the councilman’s grandson and well you are heard that he is not the son of a royal. We all actually knew that without a doubt from the first recording of them. If you all recall, he stated that he did not have a wolf. That was evidence that he was not part of the royal family. If he had been part of my family, he would have had a wolf no matter what species his mother was. Our royal bloodline dominates any other bloodline. I’m guessing that other supernaturals are not aware of that fact and that’s why they believe his claim. Young Trevor did contact my youngest brother, who is the royal they were referring to and he pretty much told Young Trevor everything the dark one said about the she-cat trying to seduce him. He never fell for her. Drugs don’t affect us the way they do other species, so he did not fall into their trap. He agreed to stay in the room with her after she explained how her father was trying to force her to mate with him. She also told him that she had her mate, and she was going to run away with him. So, I’m guessing that the dark one somehow tricked the mate bond with her and convinced her that they were mates. But long story short, there is no way he is a royal. I will let Young Trevor fill you all in on the plans we have been working on.”
“Thank you, your highness.” Trevor says. “As you all know, for us to lock to dark one to a location, we need access to that location and the blood of a descendant to call him and lock him there. With the help of all of the original warriors, we have located the dark one’s supernatural prison, now we just need to get the blood from his son. The council will help with this part. They will call another emergency meeting where the councilman will be confronted for his treason. We will reveal the truth to the grandson about all the treachery of his grandfather and ask for his assistance to stop this war. For now, the both are being charged with treason. The king has agreed to offer him a deal if he cooperates and if the magics determine that he is not sincerely or inherently evil. We understand that he was partly influenced by his grandfather using his grief over the loss of his mother. We hope that once he learns that his grandfather was the one who killed her, he will switch sides. The risk here is that he switches to his father’s side. So, he will not know what our plans are, but we will take blood from all of the prisoners when we arrest them.
Secondly, Madam Iris, Jareth, and all of the magical covens will work on the binding spell and another spell to keep him tied to the prison for eternity. Jareth has all of that information and the king has agreed to give them whatever resources they will need. Jareth will also call on the angels for guidance and assistance. We really don’t know the details of that, but in this war, we are all on the side of good fighting evil.
Finally, and this is personal. I recently found out that Seleste saved me in more ways than one after the rejection. The goddess told me that the dark one was trying to take me over and I was headed on a path toward darkness. If my connection to Seleste didn’t save me, I would have been a tool for the dark one to use. I was the one that he was talking about in the video. The moon goddess came to me shortly after we reviewed this video with the king. The second way Seleste saved me was by forgiving me. Without her forgiveness, I would not have met my mate and future luna. Thank you, Seleste, for allowing the moon goddess to use you to get all of our fates back on track. Because Seleste did what the goddess asked of her, we all have a chance to fulfill our true destinies. Okay, now that I have gotten that out, I’ll turn it over to Alpha Keenai.” Trevor says.
“Thank you, Young Trevor. Let me start by saying, Alpha Blake, I am glad that you were not the one that hurt our Seleste. During the time that she was with us at the den, she became like family. My mate and I were ready to kill anyone who caused her harm. I’m glad I don’t have to kill you.” Alpha Keenai said.
It feels good to be loved by so many people. I can tell that Onyx is not liking all these people making references to killing him. I just stay in his arms rubbing his shoulders the way I see my mom doing for my dad all the time to keep him calm. Dealing with alpha males takes practice. I thought I was going to have to sit on him when Trevor mentioned our past, but he just held me closer to him and growled slightly. I will tell him what the goddess said about us being true mates when the conference is over. For now, I’ll tune back into Alpha Keenai.
“Now on to the war efforts. When Seleste was with us, the rebels made a play for her twice. The first time they gave her a drug that paralyzed her for a period. My team created a supplement to counteract the effects of the drugs. The supplement will also protect our spirit animals from being locked away from us. We had the chance to test the supplement on some of our den members because the rebels were trying to take them to find our den. The supplements worked 100 percent of the time. We have been able to mass-produce it and can make it available to dens, coven, and packs that are isolated and don’t have magical protection against dark magic. This can help them not fall prey to the control of the magic. My den has also developed magical disruptors that we have put up around our den to detect and neutralize any dark magic aimed at us. We are in the process of producing more. They will work better if a protection spell is also added to it. The device will amplify the spell. It is my understanding all of the packs that are connected to originals have special protection around them or areas blessed by the goddess. Our devices can amplify that protection and expand the area protected. That will just leave a few packs that may need to be magically protected.”
“Thank you, Alpha Keenai. I will send a team of magical allies to meet you at your warehouse to assist with adding protection spells to the devices. Let me know if you need more resources to produce more devices if needed.” The king says. “We have been at this for hours. Let’s break now so that we can get started on the other tasks we need t do. Alpha Blake, since you were the one magically attacked, the council will need you at the emergency meeting. Councilman Bari will give you the details. Alpha Clark, Prince Julian, and Alpha Connor, I need the three of you to work together with Seleste’s warriors to train our elite forces. They need to know how to fight with and against elementals, those with super strength, and to think strategically. That’s all for now.”
We all log off and I am left alone with my mate. The beta and the ranked wolves all discreetly left the room closing the door behind them. All my mate does is just hold me in his arms. I know we both need this. We are going to war and there is no guarantee that we both will make it, well not a full guarantee, but the goddess did say that together, we are practically unstoppable. I will tell him everything the goddess said about us once he lets me go enough to talk to him. For now, I will just enjoy his embrace.
