"Alpha, the guests are about to arrive."

"Mm."

The sun is bright and the air is cool. The sky is clear, indicating good weather. Lucas is sitting on the table grumpily eating his chocolate jelly. His brows are drawn together as he bites his spoon hard.

The reason for his grumpy mood is the fact that all of the Alphas around the world are gathering together, and the venue for such an important gathering is our pack.

As soon as news about the annihilation of the two packs were spread, a number of Alphas initiated a contact with Lucas. This includes not only the previous Alphas who came here before but also Alphas from the distant packs. Things became big and the were-council became involved. Then, it was naturally decreed that all of the alphas are to gather in Black Mist Pack. The agenda is to prepare against the possibility of attacks from the "were-likes." Hence, the pack has been very busy.

Lucas, on the other hand, has been in a bad mood since the decree was issued by the were-council. He seems to be pissed off because of the work which entails hosting of the gathering.

"Not only are these slowpokes weaklings. They are also very troublesome." I hear Lucas mutter under his breath.

On the other hand, Tristan, the person who lost some night of sleep to prepare for the gathering, is trying to make him feel better.

"It's all good, Alpha. We are thoroughly prepared." Tristan says. However, this did not lighten up Lucas' mood. He continues to grumpily munch his jelly as his poker like face is darker than usual.

"The were-council is arriving earlier and will have a private meeting with me. Do you want to come with me?" Lucas asks me. He stands up from the table and holds my waist. I am tempted to come with him and meet the legendary were-council. However, if the Alpha and the Luna both go, won't all the work for receiving the guests will fall on Tristan?

I look at Tristan who is sporting dark bags under his eyes and has an exhausted face. He looks back at me with eyes with martyr eyes like he is saying that it's okay and that I should totally come with Lucas.

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

"You go. I'll help Tristan to receive our guests." I answer and give Tristan a small smile. Tristan's eyes look like he is so touched with my decision.

Lucas, on the other hand, gives a glare to the poor Tristan. Tristan is startled and starts to look weary so I grip Lucas' right hand and also give him a glare. He has been overworking his Beta, how come he's lashing out on him now?

However, instead of looking like being scolded, Lucas' reaction looks like he has seen a very amusing scene. His brows arch up and his lips slowly formed a smirk. I felt my cheeks burn by the intensity of his eyes and the suggestive look that he is giving me. Slowly, he leans on me until his mouth is on my ear.

"Your glare is very sexy. I love it." Lucas whispers before he very slowly gives my ear a lick. My legs almost fall asleep before I push him away.

"Go meet the council!" I tell him before I run my way to the main hall.

The main hall is already filled with powerful auras the moment I arrive. The hall has been transformed into a one big banquet hall. Delicious food and refreshments are everywhere. Just one look at the hall will make you feel its majesty. Standing around in groups are the Alphas and the Lunas of the different packs of the world. Each of them carries an imposing aura. This scene reminds me of the balls being hosted by royalties. Noblemen and noblewomen are gathered in the hall, each of them trying to be friendly but at the same time try to oppress each other.

Most of them look at the door the moment Tristan and I entered. They probably felt the powerful aura that Tristan is exuding because their eyes are glued to him. Still, some of them give me a curious glance. They are probably wondering who is this wolfless girl present in the hall of the most powerful pack in the world.

"Greetings to the Alphas and the Lunas. We welcome you to the Black Mist Pack." Tristan greets them. He purposely avoids introducing us because Lucas told him that he wants to be the one who introduces me. Sometimes, Lucas does some childish things.

Truthfully, many of the guests look very unhappy because of being forced to attend the gathering. Some of them are even suspecting that this is but a scheme by others (especially by Lucas) in order for their territory to be seized while they are gone.

Still, they cannot disobey the decree of the council. Furthermore, in front of someone more powerful than them, they need to act with caution.

"You must be Beta Tristan." One of a rather old looking Alpha says. His words are polite.

"Yes." Tristan curtly nods. "My Alpha has been held for a moment." He briefly explains to them about Lucas' absence.

This is the first time that I see Tristan being very imposing.

"Huh? Then I wonder what this meeting is for? Two packs were annihilated? I bet it's their own doing. It would be good if this meeting starts immediately. We left our packs unprotected just to come here and now we are only being met by a beta and a servant human girl." A throaty voice arrogantly says.

I look around and see a young Alpha. His hands that are around his Luna are dangerously near her breasts. Instantly, I feel sorry for the young girl in his arms for being lecherously held in front of everyone.

And a servant human girl? He probably didn't detect a wolf aura on me hence he thought that I am human. But do I look like a servant girl? Do they have human servants in their pack? I knit my brows in contemplation.

I feel Tristan who is beside me stiffened with his statement.

"How dare you make such a remark with our Luna!" A shout came from the corner. I turn and see a mad tiny girl with pink clothes. She's one of those who can control the energies who had been invited into the gathering.

"Huh? Luna? That human?" The one who asked was the girl in that young Alpha's hand. "A human who can't even hurt a fly Pfft-" She maniacally laughs. I instantly feel regret for feeling sorry for her earlier. She is obviously just as nasty as her mate. Speaking of her nasty mate, he has been making a sneer since he heard that I am a Luna.

"I bet you're overwhelmed, huh? Being in this hall, looking at the throne of the first Alpha King, being surrounded by Alphas and Lunas. I bet you must be very nervous that you want to pee." The nasty guy of the nasty pair adds.
