Chapter 118: Alliance Tensions
Aiden POV
His fist hit the stone table so hard that it broke in half across the middle.
He screamed, "You stupid dogs!" His eyes were red as fire. "Your brother has doomed us all!"
My wolf growled inside me as I jumped to my feet. "Watch your mouth when you talk about my family!"
Every magical leader was yelling at the same time around the emergency meeting cave. The dragon woman breathed in smoke. In the old elf’s hands, green magic was shining. Three alpha werewolves from packs nearby were growling as threats. We were the ones who made everyone angry, scared, and angry at us.
"Enough!" I roared, using my Alpha voice. The cave went quiet, but I could feel the anger still boiling under the surface. "Fighting each other won’t solve anything."
"Won’t solve anything?" The vampire lord laughed bitterly. "Your pack harbors a girl who’s becoming a Between Walker, and now she’s disappeared along with one of your brothers! The Void King probably has them both!"
My heart clenched thinking about Caleb trapped somewhere dangerous, but I couldn’t show weakness. Not now. "We don’t know that for sure."
"Don’t we?" The dragon woman stepped forward, her golden eyes angry. "First the corruption spreads through your area. Then your prince friend nearly tears reality apart trying to save his mate. Now a Between Walker arrives in your pack, and suddenly two of your people disappear? This is not coincidence."
Elder Marcus, our pack’s boss, looked older than I’d ever seen him. "The alliance was made to protect all our kinds from the Void King. We must work together."
"Work together?" A werewolf alpha from the Mountain Pack growled. "Your pack is a danger to everyone! That girl should have been killed the moment she started changing!"
