"I see," Hunter's voice sounded through the office phone in the alpha's office.
Aiden and I requested a call with hunter the next day without further procrastination.
The situation got worse because the rogue confirmed a traitor in the rosemoon pack and the other information about the rogues and their leader.
"Are you sure about him not being a god?" Hunter asked.
"Artemis said she does not know of a god called Typhon or an exiled god," I confirmed, seated on the chair with the office phone on the table.
"Maybe, It happened before the creation of Artemis. You see, all the gods of species have greek names, so it is taboo for any beast or person called in greek."
"Are you serious? But my beast name?" I asked speechlessly.
I did not know about gods of any species apart from the moon goddess until Artemis came to me that night.
"Carmen, your case in particular. Only Scarlett, Aiden, and I know of your beast being-----special, and the elders and the pack only know that your beast is a strong wolf," Hunter said. He does not want to talk about my secret in the open.
"Don't forget who your beast is. That's why she is called Artemis. Most people won't think unpleasantly about your beast's name because it is peculiar.
The moon goddess' name is Selene,
The Lycan god's name is Lycaon,
The witch goddess' name is Hecate,
The vampire god's name is Ambrogio." He continued.
He added, " Anyways, Greek names are only for gods. If the rogue said the rumor is about him being a banished god, then we have to include an oracle to ask and search through his mind and the other one whom Typhon possessed."
"What about the traitor's mate who is high ranking within the rogues?" Aiden is seated beside me with arms crossed to his chest.
I narrowed my eyes in agreement," That's true, Hunter. How can we catch the traitor?"
"I don't think the traitor can be any pack member in the rosemoon pack, so limit your search to high-ranking warriors and leaders," Hunter advised.
"You are saying the traitor can be a leader in the pack," I mumbled.
I can understand what Hunter is trying to do. We can't expect any more surprises since there is a possibility of gods and other species involved. Aiden and I can't trust anyone in this werewolf pack.
'It seems I will request a meeting with former Alpha and Luna,' I thought.
"Carmen, Aiden." Hunter became more serious.
"What we thought about the oracle of Lycans came true. The lycan king invited all the alphas to the Lycan kingdom," He continued.
"He also extended his invitation to you, carmen," He added, completely taking me off guard.
"why?" I widened my eyes in surprise. The famous Lycan king invited me personally to his kingdom.
"I am not an Alpha," I added.
"Your reputation in the supernatural world allowed it," Hunter answered.
That's true. Other species have heard my nickname in their worlds but have not seen me. It wouldn't be a surprise that the Lycans are curious about the SANGUINEX.
"When is meeting with Alphas and the Lycan King?" I asked.
"The Elders scheduled a meeting to talk about the Lycan king's invitations, then we will know, but you and Aiden must return in three months," Hunter said.
"Yes," Aiden and I answered.
We ended the call with Hunter and left the office to the guest house.
We reached the exit of the pack house when I heard my name from Derek, "Carmen, wait."
I turned to see Derek walking toward me with a card in his hands. He handed it over, saying, "My parents want to meet you."
I looked at Derek deeply before taking the card and giving it to Aiden. "Thank you, Alpha Derek. we finished the call with my father."
I did not say anything about the invitation card or his parents.
He furrowed his brows but tried to smile it off, "I see."
I mind linked Aiden to finish the talk with Derek, 'Aiden, please continue.'
Aiden stared before talking to the alpha, "My sister will make her attendance to the invitation, please, excuse us ."
''Okay, I will tell them," Derek nodded in delight.
We left.
"How did you know that I would attend?" I asked Aiden as soon as we entered the house.
Aiden smiled at me before answering, "You won't take the card from him, and Dad said that the traitor would most likely be high-ranked in the rosemoon pack."
"You need to investigate the former alpha and luna, right?, He added.
"You know me well." I nodded while we walked to my appointed room.
"Of course, I am your brother," Aiden said proudly.
''Anyway, you are coming with me. we can't take the invitation too lightly." I looked at the invitation card in my hand that Aiden gave me after we left the packhouse.
They avoided me in the pack during my stay, and now they are inviting me. 'Something is suspicious,' I thought after waving Aiden goodbye before entering the room.
An Alpha who gives his successor the position retires from the work. The alpha can't remain in the pack after his retirement because the presence of two alphas will cause anxiety among the pack members. Their auras are the problem. They can live in a secluded area near the pack.
The former alpha and luna came to the pack because of the elder's visit and will stay in the Rosemoon pack until the situation is solved.
Aiden knocked on the former alpha's house's door, and the housekeeper welcomed us inside and led us to the dining room, where we saw them with my ex-father.
Aiden and I glanced at each other before he greeted them, and I nodded at them before we sat down.
'Why is here?' I thought while Aiden spoke to the older generation to dispel the awkwardness.
The housekeeper placed our food on the table before retreating.
I picked up my fork to eat when the luna spoke gently, "Carmen, How is your stay in the pack?"
'Answer politely,' Aiden, mind linked to me.
I glanced at him before answering the Luna, who had never spoken gently to me before. "Good."
The simple answer from me made her smile falter before she smiled at me again. "Don't stand on ceremony with me, carmen, and This is still your home after all."
I gripped the fork in my hand and managed to speak politely. "I see."
She stiffened her smile and looked at her mate for help.
I continued eating without looking at their reaction.
'I tried my best,' I mind-linked Aiden.
Aiden looked at his sister eating her meal calmly without knowing the awkwardness she caused.
He smiled at the former Luna, " My sister does not talk too much, don't mind her."
The Former laughed it off, "Ha ha ha, I see, you must be close with your sister. I would have thought she was your mate If I didn't know of her adoption." It was no secret that the SANGUINEX was the adopted daughter of an elder.
Aiden smiled regardless of the insult thrown at him, "Yes, people mistake us as mates." She indirectly pointed out that we were very close and that she was a member of the rosemoon pack.
I dropped my cutlery loudly on the plates to shut her mouth and wiped my mouth with the napkin before staring at the former luna.
She looked uncomfortable under my stare.
I don't understand why she abused me when she was supposed to help from all the abuse. A Luna is the mother of the pack. The emotional and mental health of the werewolf pack lies within the luna. She helps to calm the werewolf pack regardless of any situation. This Luna did the opposite of that to a pack member.
I shifted my gaze to the former alpha and spoke to him, "I am not a patient person, alpha. Control your Luna, and there won't be bloodshed."
"You!" Her face flushed in embarrassment at being called out, and she glared at me hatefully, entirely different from the gentle gaze at the beginning.
I continued, ignoring the embarrassed Luna, "I am sure you did not bring me here to bond."
The Former Alpha looked at me before speaking, "It seems we chose the wrong person from the beginning. I see what you mean, beta."
I stared at him and my ex-father before questioning, "What do you mean?"
The former alpha stared at me before questioning, "Carmen, when did you get your wolf?"
I stared at them before answering, "Your Beta asked the same question, and I would give you the same answer. Why should I answer your question?"
'Why are they questioning about my beast?' I thought.
I was about to thank them and leave, but the former alpha asked a question. "Do you have dreams of a prophecy?"
I winced and growled at him, "How do you know that?"
Instead of answering, he smiled, "As I said, we chose the wrong person."
"I will repeat. How do you know that?" I growled in warning.
The former alpha looked at me and answered with a mocking smile.
"An oracle came to us before our children were born. Saying our pack is blessed by the moon goddess with a great fortune."
Enjoy!
