Chapter 69

"Damn it, Leonardo! You don't have to use your alpha voice if taking care of my sister is, of course," said Velkan.

"You heard Aurora, I don't want to see your face for a week, with all due respect Luna," he said, smiling and left.

"You're a hater. I'm fine. It's just a little tired. With 24 hours of rest, I'll be good as new," I said seriously.

"Aurora, it's not the first time this has happened. I thought I told you to visit the doctor?" he asked me doubtfully.

"I thought it was just a suggestion or that I was being ordered to do so, oops," I said, smiling.

"Then I have no choice but to make the appointment and take you personally."

"Leonardo, I'm not a little girl. I think I can go alone. Besides tomorrow you have a lot of work. Remember you have to go to a meeting with the alphas; to plan a strategy against Mateo,' I said, earnestly looking at him.

I could feel his anger when I mentioned Mateo. Leonardo still wants to kill him just like I do. Still, we can't declare war against him without reason because of werewolf laws, so he will have this meeting with the alphas to see what we can do.

"I didn't even remember that. I think it will be best to cancel it," he said, looking at me.

"And miss this unique opportunity, you are not crazy, and I won't let you do it. I promise I will make the appointment for tomorrow and as soon as I have the diagnosis. I will let you know immediately; most likely, I will prescribe vitamins and see you are overreacting ok."

"Ok."

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up very early and saw my side, the most beautiful woman in this world, my mate, my wife. I caressed her hair and kissed her on the forehead. I got up and took a bath. I prepared everything I needed for my meeting.

I went downstairs to my office, took some papers, and went out, "Leonardo all ready," Velkan said to me.

"Yes, you don't have to go with me. I can go alone," I said to my beta.

"Please, it's only one day Aldo will be in charge of the training. He has specific instructions not to let my sister get close and with the 15 warriors to go with us. Everything will be perfect," said Velkan.

"Perfect, then let's go. The faster we are there, the faster we will be back. I hate to leave my moon alone".

"Overprotective mode at this point, and they still don't have pups. You're done, old man," Velkan said to me.

I looked at him, trying to melt his look, "I can still choose another beta, Velkan?" I said, smiling.

"Naaaaaaaa, there is only one other person who can stand your bad temper, and she already has a position as luna. I doubt she will leave it to be your beta, and you are screwed and tied with me for your whole life," he said, laughing at me.

"Sometimes I think the goddess is making me pay for something in my other life with you," I said, smiling.

"That's how you must have behaved, we better get going, or we'll be late," he said and started the van, and we left for the meeting.

Alpha McGregor organized this meeting, and his pack was one of the closest to my territory. It would take us only 2 hours to get to his Clan.

When we arrived, he greeted us with a big smile, "Alpha Leonardo, good to see you again," said McGregor when he saw me.

"Glad to be here and know I can count on you," I said, grateful for his help in this meeting.

"Sometimes it's good to know whose side we are on and more so when some alpha wants to take over everything. Who tells us that after attacking you, he won't come after all of us, it's better to be prepared".

"That's precisely what I had in mind," I said confidently to myself.

We entered their house, which was significant for a Clan of few members. They were around 1200, while my Clan we are more than 2000. When entering the meeting, I could see ten more alphas, among them the most respectable and close to our area.

I sat down and prepared my papers to present my case before them and wait for their support.

"I thank you for your attendance and for accepting the invitation to this emergency meeting. As alphas of our pack, we should keep you safe and secure."

"It is the reason for our existence as a pack leader, and as such, we have a responsibility to listen and be heard. For this reason, I yield the floor to Alpha Leonardo, who will explain the situation for which we are gathered today."

"Thank you, Alpha McGregor, and I thank you for organizing this meeting," I said, bowing my head in respect for his words.

"You all know who I am, I am loyal, fair, and protective of my pack, and I stop at nothing to protect my own."

"You know the problems I have with Alpha Mateo of the DARK Mist pack. because of his unhealthy obsession with my Aurora Monetti, who is now my Moon and wife."

"Mateo has expressed on many occasions his interest in abducting her and making her his Luna; that’s by right, she is MINE," I said as I pounded my fist on the table where we were sitting.

"This is disrespectful to my Pack and me, not to mention a declaration of war. Therefore I want the right to kill him, to be allowed to go over the law of protection and demand an alpha vs. alpha chArturoge, to end this once and for all," I said furiously.

Everyone started to look at each other, talking and understanding my point of view.

"We know of your situation and understand that you have the right to do so, which does not require our approval. As an Alpha with royal blood, you can make that decision, which makes us think that your visit is for another reason," said one of the alphas.

"Indeed, my visit is about the alliance Mateo has made with the exiles, to attack the packs and steal their resources, to declare himself the only alpha in existence."

"His first step will be to kill me and steal my moon, and then only the goddess will say what's next."

"You know that my pack is the strongest; by defeating me, there will be nothing to stand in the way, and your wish will come true. That is why I ask for your alliance for when the time comes," I said confidently, looking at them.
