Part two- Chapter 38

"Power isn't control at all - power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own."

― Beth Revis, Across the Universe

TEMPLAR P.O.V

I snarled in rage and bared my claws and fangs to Louis, who turned an ashen shade when he saw me.

"Did you say yes to a war?" I demanded in a vicious tone. "Did you say yes to the killings of innocents of wolves who have no intention to enter a war?" my tone was turning animalistic every passing second. "You went against your word" I pointed my index at Louis and standing up, he swallowed audibly.

I started walking towards Louis as I continued talking, "I had told you that I will not tolerate false accusations against me and I only want reasonable judgment. You assured me you would be fair. This is you being fair?" I bellowed glaring at him and he shook his head. "This is how you provide justice?" I snarled.

"Look at him" I thundered pointing at Alton and many heads turned to look at him. "Look into his eyes. There is indubitable fear in it and he is the Beta of a pack. Ask him why he is so scared. ASKHIM" I roared at the end and everybody flinched.

"See... this is what she does people. She is threatening others. Alton is perfectly fine. Why would he be scared? The bitch is making all this up to save her ass" Reece said with a smirk.

Moving swifter than a wind, I stood right in front of his face. Reece was so taken aback that he stumbled backwards and fell on his butt near my feet. The crowd had gasped in surprise.

"Repeatit" I challenged and I swear, I could hear Reece's heart pounding in his chest. "I can kill you with my eyes closed wolf" I hissed and once again everyone gasped. "But you are someone else's enemy more than you are mine" I spat in disgust and walked away, leaving Reece speechless.

While I walked towards Louis, Rett connected with me through the link and spoke, 'DayDusk and BlackRaven have already attacked the BlueBells. Our wolves and FireLight ones are on the way' he said and I nodded. I was glad Grant Ganalla agreed to send his fighters. These two were the packs closest to BlueBells and hence they could do much to them by the time my pack wolves reach there.

'Ask Grant and Marco to tell the BlueBells that they were sent by the white wolf' I commanded. 'I don't want anyone dead. Just captured alive' I added firmly.

"And as for you" I began glaring at Louis and Dennis, who were trembling like leaves, "You had your chance and you blew it" I said furiously to Louis. "You went against your word. In your resentment to me, you forgot the difference between right and wrong. You both will be punished for it" I roared and both fell on their knees.

"It's time that I set right what has always been wrong" I thundered and then faced the audience, who were all standing up and staring at me with big round eyes. "It is now time for me to set right what has always been wrong. I ignored it, pretended to be blind and for it, I was punished by my mother." My eyes were blurry in anger as I spoke those words. "But I swore to her, that I will not return to her until everything is right here" I pointed my index to the ground. "I am the Moon Goddess's daughter. I am the white wolf and I am the leader that my mother wants me to be" I shouted extending my hands and the crowd raised their hands high in the air and cheered.

For quite some time, I stood there trembling in rage, while I stared at the audience who were still cheering me. Then I placed my right hand over my heart. Very soon the audience did the same, but they also leant on one knee and bowed their head.

They accepted me as their leader!

I then focused my attention on Reece, who was now standing on his feet and staring at the audience with wide eyes. "I begin my first duty by cleaning the dirt in BlueBells" I ground out lethally and Reece gulped.

"Your pack is being attacked as I speak" I spat and people looked at each other in confusion. "All the wolves that you have imprisoned are being freed" Alton as well as the others, looked at each other. "Call your father Alton. Talk to him" I ordered without taking my eyes off Reece's golden ones.

With shaky hands Alton pulled out his cellphone and ringed his father. Nearly seven rings later, his father answered, "Son" he called. Alton heaved a sigh and fell on his knees.

"You are safe" Alton whispered after some time and I smirked, while Reece turned as white as milk.

"Yes, Templar has sent DayDusk wolves to save us. We just got free" he answered.

"Oh! Thank Goddess. Thank Goddess" Alton cried. I looked at the Sorority Chiefs, who were still on their knees and now joined hands together in a pleading gesture. They looked scared to death.

"Thank-you" I turned to look at Alton, who was watching me with teary eyes.

"Repay your debt by speaking the truth" I commanded and Alton nodded nervously. He stood up straight and walked past Reece, who shot him a look of pure disbelief.

"Earlier, I was coerced into lying" Alton started and slowly, I closed my eyes. "He... my own pack Alpha had imprisoned and tortured my parents. He threatened to kill them if I went against him. Reece came to know that I helped Templar....." Alton then uttered every single truth about Randall, and also about what exactly happened the day I trespassed into their territory after losing control to my wolf.

"We do not want to enter into a war with WaterWave Pack. Reece has dominated us and compelled us into agreeing to it" he remarked and I sighed, while some people in the crowd gasped, totally stunned at Reece's tyrant rule. "Forgive me, White wolf for lying" Alton pleaded at the end and I gave a nod, without looking at him.

The other witness of BlueBells, who had lied earlier, now spoke the truth and Reece started growling violently whenever he would hear them.

"I will now ask you all-" I turned to look at the audience as I began. "-if you still agree with the decision taken by your Sorority Chiefs?"

"Hell no!"

"They denied justice"

"Who made them the chiefs?"

"Kill them. Kill Reece"

"Change the chiefs. These three are hopeless"

"Louis and Dennis must be removed from their position"

I took in a long breath and turned to look at Louis, "I told you, if your judgment is considered unjust by majority of the audience here, then you will have to kiss your seat goodbye."

Louis sobbed and then lowered his head until it touched the ground. "Forgive me oh great daughter of the Goddess! Forgive me" he cried and very soon Dennis joined him.

Clenching my fists, I snarled loudly after hearing their fake words but neither of them raised their heads.

"Your punishment is that you give up the title and the position you have here" I announced after some time and all three Sorority Chiefs nodded. My gaze turned tender as I looked at Carl. "You did not do any wrong like them Carl" I told him gently and he smiled kindly. "But you did not fight for what is right either" I established the obvious.

"I know" Carl said lowering his gaze.

"You have to let go of your title too Carl. Let someone new join because you have been here for a long, long time"

"I understand" Carl sighed and after bowing his head, he stood up and slowly walked away to where his family was seated in the crowd.

"Go. Go back to where you came from" I told the other two chiefs and both were out of my sight sooner than possible.

Reece's growl caught my attention and I turned my head and focused narrowed gaze on him. "You might have gotten away this time, but it will not happen again" Reece said spitefully and I smirked.

"Nexttime? You still think I will give you another chance?" I asked amused and Reece frowned. "When I spared your life the last time, I told you I would not repeat it if you disrespect me again and today, you disrespected me... repeatedly" I growled viciously.

"What are you going to do? Kill me? Do it! Show them all what a crazy bitch you really are" Reece laughed.

I shook my head calmly, "Like I said earlier, you are someone else's enemy more than you are mine and today, that person is going to challenge you."

Reece scowled at me, "Who is that person?" he asked cocking an eyebrow.

My eyes flickered to Alton, who gasped and took a step back before shaking his head. "Alton?" Reece laughed as I gnashed my even teeth against each other.

"No. I... I cannot" Alton stuttered and shot me a pleading look.
