Part two- Chapter 37 continuation

'Where the hell are you Templar?' Rett demanded through the link and I winced.

'I told you I am in the Sorority Building' I replied calmly drinking coke.

'Why did you go there alone?' Jan asked and I sighed.

Today morning, as soon as I woke up, I made the decision to go the Sorority Building. Since I was the one who had called the Alphas' to come for the meeting today, I was their host. And as a host, it was my duty to be the first one present at the venue of the meeting.

That's why without telling anyone, I straightaway drove to here early in the morning.

'I just wanted to... see the place' I tried to be nonchalant.

'What?' Rett asked stunned and I smiled. I am sure I was confusing him. I was confused too... but guess, I just needed this alone time to come to terms with what will happen after I shift and show myself to others.

Life as I knew it will completely change after this meeting.

'Look... just come to the Sorority Building, I will meet you there' I said and blocked them.

They repeatedly tried to connect with me through the link, but I did not let them in. Sitting on the roof, I watched the arena, just behind the Sorority building. It was an ellipse shaped arena and had a sitting capacity of almost 5,000 people.

Taking a swig, I watched the bleachers which were empty now. In about an hour, a good amount of people would gather here... to see the white wolf, hear her plea for defense. Goosebumps appeared all over my body as I thought about it. I was nervous... because this is my one chance and I had to do everything right in this one chance.

I took one last swig of coke, kept the bottle beside me and leaning back, I thought about what to do to avoid the war.

I shook my head when I felt Everett trying hard to connect with me through the link. Wiping my eyes, I opened the mind-link.

'Templar? Where the fuck are you?' Oh dear! Rett was pissed.

'I am fine'

'That's not the answer to my question' he spat and I pinched my lips together.

'Where are you?' I queried, sitting up. My eyes rounded when I saw the crowd gathered. Holy Goddess! Immediately I checked the time and heaved a sigh when I saw that there was still two minutes for eleven.

'I have reached the building. Where are you?' he asked.

Putting on my aviators, I scanned the crowd. There was a crowd of almost 500 hundred people gathered and I was amazed by the number. I did not expect so many wolves to be present here. Each Alpha had brought at least twenty members from their packs and majority of the crowd was SilverStar wolves. Since the building is in their pack, almost every wolf in the pack was here... even little children.

But yes, everyone who had promised they would be here, were here.

How do I know? Just by seeing the flags which represented their packs.

'I can smell you, but where are you?'

'I am in the roof' I told Rett sitting in my place and tuning in to hear what the crowd was talking about.

'Roof? What the hell are you doing in the roof?' Rett shouted.

'Stop shouting. Go attend the meeting and tell Louis, The White Wolf will join them soon'

'Templar' Rett's tone was a warning.

'Just do as I ask.... Please' I added softly. Rett was silent for a long, long time before heaving a sigh and agreeing to what I said.

I smiled softly and once again tuned to hear the crowd-

"I heard she is very beautiful... almost angelic"

"Some people over there were saying that her eyes are red in color"

"They are hearing the rumors... these Gold-Dust pack wolves have seen her and they say her eyes is the same as color as her wolf- white"

"What's her name by the way?"

"Topaz"

"Hey, it's not Topaz, it's Trinette or something which rhymes with that"

"She is so lucky to be the white wolf"

"I heard she is scary to look"

"Her name is Templar. I have read it in the letter she sent to dad"

"She is brutal in her killings. Heard she spared none"

"She is the white wolf, but poor girl has no mate"

"We have to impress her and take her to our side before the YellowBloom Pack does"

"Sebastian's' Beta said she is smoking hot"

"Dude she is married"

"So? There is nothing harm in looking"

"You are an asshole"

Chuckling, I shook my head. Rumors... rumors... no wonder it is also called as grapevine. Well, at least someone got my name right!

I stood up the minute I saw Louis Gibb, Carl Cooke and Dennis Walton taking their seats at the centre of the platform, located at one end of the arena.

"Silence please" Louis demanded speaking loudly and immediately the crowd got silent. "Good morning to all. I know you are gathered here today in the Sorority Building for a meeting, but I am really sorry to announce that no such meeting would take place"

Clenching my fists, I growled after hearing his words, but my growl were absorbed by the gasps and confused look of the crowd.

"What the hell?"

"Then why did she send us that letter?"

"I told you the white wolf was a myth. Some crazy woman made it all up"

"Silence... silence" Louis commanded and I narrowed my eyes. He then ordered the big bell to be rung and the crowd grew silent after hearing the bell. "Yes, I know. I can understand your anger, but you cannot blame the Sorority for this. This was done by Ms. Templar Green and she has to answer to this wrong, as well as many others she has committed in the previous month" Louis said smugly and I shook my head in disgust.

Keep going like this Louis and soon, I will be forced to kill you.

Where the hell is Rett and others?

I looked at my pack wolves, who were sitting between our most trusted allies, FireLight Pack wolves and GreenRock Pack wolves. Egan had come with his mate and nearly twenty GreenRock Pack wolves. Rett's dad was also here and he was sitting next to Sam. Myron and Genessa too had brought a good number of their pack wolves. I heaved a sigh, when I saw them growling and glaring at the three heads of Sorority.

"Today, in this Sorority Building, we are about to punish Ms. Templar Green for the various crime she has been accused of" Louis added.

"Just like that? Even before she is proved guilty?" I smiled as I heard Everett's voice. The crowd turned their head to look as Everett marched forward through the small passage between the bleachers, with Keith and Cam.

"She will be proved guilty... of that I will make sure" My smile turned into a frown when I heard the annoyingly familiar voice of Reece Burdock. The BlueBells pack wolves were sitting exactly opposite to my pack wolves and from there, Reece got up and walked ahead along with Alton and another pack wolf.

"You can try" Rett smirked and so did I.

"I am not alone in my accusations Green. Brandon Cunningham and Sebastian O'Riley are accusing her for her sins too" Reece pointed out with a smirk of his own.

Oh! How I wish to wipe that.

"We will see about that" Rett replied cooly coming to a halt a few steps away from the platform stage and so did Reece.

"Alpha Brandon Cunningham of Gold-Dust Pack and Sebastian O'Riley of WhiteField Pack are requested to come towards the platforms" a lady, working in the Sorority Building announced and both the Alphas' strode ahead along with two of their pack wolves.

"The accused Ms. Templar Green is requested to come towards the platform" the same lady announced like a robot.

"Where is she? I cannot see her. Is she hiding?" Reece chuckled and I took a deep breath.

"Yes, where is Ms. Templar Green?" Louis demanded cocking an eyebrow and I gritted my teeth.

No Templar... You should not get angry unnecessarily! I reminded myself.

"She is here" Rett said calmly.

Closing my eyes, I remembered my Goddess, "it's now time that you start taking your responsibilities, help your own kind and be the leader that they all want." Her blessing is always there with me and with that I can stand against anything.

"Ah... yes, I can smell her. But she seems far away... maybe she is in the ladies room, sitting and crying?" Reece laughed while I marched forward until I was standing at the edge of the roof.

"NO" Jan's voice boomed and I was surprised to hear it. I looked at her to see that she was sitting next to Ophelia. "Tem is up there, watching us" she pointed her finger to exactly where I was standing at the roof of the arena.

Every single head in the audience turned to see and my heart hammered in my chest when I felt so many eyes on me. Thankfully, I was wearing my aviators which covered half of my flushed face. I was wearing simple black jeans, a white top and black jacket over it. I was not dressed for the occasion because I had planned to shift into my wolf.

With an expressionless face, I scanned the crowd and found everyone staring at me. With their bodies turned, necks craned up, they were all curiously watching me.

Come on Templar, you are brave, you are strong... I whispered to myself and turning sideward, I removed and dropped my aviators to the roof. Spinning, I jumped from the edge of the roof and twirled two to three times in the air while shifting into my white wolf.

My front paws hit the floor in between the bleachers first and then my hind paws. There was collective gasp from the audience when they finally saw my wolf. People stood up to have a better look of me.

Sucking in as much oxygen as possible, I marched forward with my head held high, just like Everett. Some people stepped back in fear, some people tried to touch my fur as I marched ahead. Some bowed their head, some were just staring at me with their mouth dropped open, but everyone had certain reactions.

I did not bother looking or responding to it. Instead, I just continued walking in between the bleachers and once I was at the bottom step, I jumped off and then walked to the clearing.

There was an even louder gasp now because those who couldn't see me or my wolf earlier could see me very clearly now. My wolf felt extremely proud of herself. People started whispering, talking, but I blocked them all out and instead zoomed in my gaze on Everett, who was... surprisingly frowning at me.

'What?' I asked.

'How are you going to shift back?' he demanded and I smiled in my mind.

'Watch' I told him stopping in my tracks, a few steps away from him.

Letting out a breath, I slowly started shifting back.

"What is she doing?"

"Shameless hussy"

"Don't you dare look at her Dean"

"Gross"

"Nice"

I could hear some voices in the crowd, but they had nothing to worry about.

My fur started disappearing and skin appeared but to cover that skin, I was wrapped by the very dress, which represents me as The Daughter of The Moon Goddess. I was wearing the white floor length dress with the ocean blue silk tie around my waist.

'Nice' Everett said through the link with a smirk and I winked at him.

"Such a lovely dress"

"She is so lucky"

"How did she get that dress?"

"She really is the daughter of Goddess"

People spoke again... but ignoring it, I turned to face the audience, who were all standing up and watching me with wide eyes. Now, my face was visible.

Might not be angelic, but not ugly either. I do clean myself pretty well.

For few seconds, I just stood and scanned the crowd. I did not need anyone telling me that my eyes were the color of blood... I was sure of it because my wolf was still at the forefront.

Everyone in the crowd was staring at me with eyes that described various emotions. My wolf was really pleased to see that none of those eyes had hatred in them. They were shocked, surprised, confused, excited, envious, happy, pleased but not hateful.

Raising my chin, I addressed the crowd, "My name is Templar Green. I am the daughter of Moon Goddess. I am the white wolf"

Some inhaled sharply, some gulped, some just stared blankly.

Placing a hand over my heart, I genuflected and bowed my head, offering complete respect to the wolves of all the eighteen packs. My duty is to serve and protect them.

When I did that, others followed. Placing a hand over their heart, they bowed their head in respect.

After some time, I stood straight. "My humble apologies for keeping the truth from you. It was wrong and my only excuse is that I had been selfish. I have realized my mistake and I want to rectify it. Like I have mentioned in the letter, I have called you all today here, in
