Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 28

Back In The East.

~Leo~ Protecting what was left of my territory from Bane’s invasion was hard, but I had to.

These were times when I would have loved Tamia on my team.

She knew exactly what to do and how to act.

I was leaning on Max and Kyle, and our odds didn’t seem great.

When the lesser Alphas joined with Bane, it didn’t hurt.

I felt it was their choice.

They wanted to go after the wolf lord and get their daughters back; some wanted revenge for their loved ones.

I could understand their pain.

However the Wolf Lord tried to justify his attack, his actions were wrong.

Attacking the entire East because a pack from the East 1/19 dared to attack him was wrong.

I knew it was cowardly to accept defeat and urge the East to rebuild and move on, but I did not want us to lose more than we had already.

The northern soldiers were strong, and they had a larger army.

Combining our strength with the south would have evened the playing field, but I did not trust Bane’s intentions, and I still don’t.

I had called a meeting with the remaining Alphas under me, and they answered.

When the alphas arrived, they were angry and scared at the same time.

Everyone blamed Kyle for our misfortunes because he was the one that brought Bane to What pissed all of us off was Bane wanted us to join up by force.

It was as if the part of the East that willingly went with him was not good enough.

He wanted Kyle, Max and me on his team too.

During the meeting, I watched the alphas argue and push blame around, which wasn’t why I called the meeting.

I called the meeting because I needed to find the best solution for peace.

Joining Bane was out of the question.

“We need to call a truce,” I said, and the hall went quiet.

“We can’t do that, Alpha Leo; the man is mad.

I heard something about him calling himself the rightful Wolf lord because he killed Maurice Volkov,” Ramsey said.

I was surprised about how ambitious Bane was.

“We need to find a way to tell him we do not share in his views and we won’t go to war against the North,” I told them, and they agreed.

“How will we do that? We have already told him we maintain a neutral stance.

How else can we tell that bastard that we are not interested in his promises and helping him further his cause?” Alpha Christian said.

“Since you told us Luna Tamia spoke highly of the Wolf Lord, and that he has been treating our sisters and daughters well, we have made peace.

How many more do we have to lose?” Timothy said, sounding as frail as he was.

He was one of the Alphas that did not bother fighting.

He just handed his granddaughter over as tribute because his daughter was already mated.

I could understand his fear.

“I say we take the war to Bane and let him know he has his limits.

What he took from the East isn’t the best of the East; we can take him down,” Gaston said, and I shook my head.

“Luna Tamia was one of our best strategists, Luna Avery dealt with welfare, and Luna Linda dealt with shelter protection.

With those three aspects of our society unattended, we stand no chance.

The north crippled us already by taking the three most powerful Lunas of the east.

We have to rely on strength, and as my wife always said, smarts beats strength any day,” I said, remembering Tamia, and we were silent.

3 “We can still manage with what we have,” Gaston said, and I nodded.

“Of course, we can, but we do not want any more bloodshed.
