Olivia's pov
I felt the quakes around and I dashed from my room to the main hall only to see a large crowd of people, all with unhappy faces.
"What's going on?" I muttered to myself as I stayed behind to observe more. I noticed the displeasures on their faces and the complaints they were making.
I made sure to hide somewhere out of sight so as not to get caught by the Alpha.
"I can't believe the Alpha would pick half of the warriors just to help that damn traitor that didn't sniff when he went against us!" A man yelled angrily, his face was as red as a tomato.
" We are not here to question your authority. But he has to give us a valid reason why he did so! We are the voices of this pack and without us there would be nothing. Now that almost half of the warriors are gone, I am very sure the other packs have been informed and are already planning ways to attack our weak defense," Another added calmly.
"I bet the Alpha didn't think about this! Now what are we going to do? We can't bear to receive another attack again. We are still recovering from the last one. Hopefully, it will be the last forever," The red faced man earlier replied.
And that was how the heated conversation went on.
" So it has something to do with an agreement the Alpha made with someone? Why should he do that when he knew the person was a traitor?" I frowned the more I listened to the people and as much I do not want to get involved on tjis too much as I am part if the reason why this pack almost went to extinct, but the conversation were just too heated to be ignored.
"Halt! The alpha is here," I heard a deep commanding voice resonated in the hall and everyone went silent. Only sounds of silent footsteps could be heard; they stepped on the tiles with rythmes.
"He's here," I muttered with hate in my eyes. I waited at the side for him to show up and address the people.
"Silence," The commanding voice said again. I took a deep breath and peeped from where I was to look if the alpha was still there.
And lo and behold, he was there with a calm and 'righteous' expression.
He waved his hands indicating that he can take the conversation from here.
"Greetings my people. What brought us here?" His calm voice as that of an ocean drifted in the quiet quiet hall as his eyes bore on the people with feverish gaze.
No matter how fierce they were earlier before the kind they are nothing but subjects.
"Alpha Kayden, we for once have never gone against your commands even when you were gone for a very long time. But the sudden division of the warriors which had been with us for a long time to some traitor is what we can never digest and come to a good reason for why you would do it," The red faced man stood up with confidence as he said the minds of the elders.
"Was it that that black faced man threatened you that he was going to take out the pack? Or did he give you any useful information about another pack that you want to use to repay him? Or you are just doing it because he is in distress? You should think more about the people than some traitor," The man added, his voice rising at each word that escaped his lips.
With how intense these accusations were. I wonder how he was going to get away from this and give the people a good reason for his deeds.
If he does it by mistake, ignore this. Then these people will take it as him going against the pack and there would be flying rumours of him being an insignificant leader who wouldn't listen to his people's cries.
This would of course cause some people to become very rebellious that they would be planning for his death.
"I wonder how you are going to get away from this," I muttered, still waiting patiently for his reply.
I saw that look in his eyes but it flashed for a split second. His lips parted slightly, he inhaled and then exhaled.
"I understand the worries you all have towards the decision I made. But I only did that as a way of saving the pack for the future. I very much know Ramsey more than you and how do you expect that I do not know of his move or plans. Before I dismiss this gathering, I will like to ask an important question," He said briefly as his gaze bore on them.
They stared at him silently waiting for his question and that was when he dropped the bombshell.
"Who was it that gave you this provided information? No one was there when this took place," He said as his hands went to his back. He stared at them calmly waiting for a reply.
I was waiting for a reply from them too as I was curious to know about how they got the information too. They turned among themselves with confusion written all over their faces.
It can be seen from this that… There was a traitor and spy among them that knew what happened between Alpha Kaden and Ramsey.
But… Kayden claimed that there was no one there. So what was going on?
"I can see that you don't have an answer to that. You may leave, I have something to look at," He said dismissing them. They gave a short show and left the place one after the other.
Kayden waited for them to leave before he stopped and stared at a location lost in thoughts. I do not know what he was thinking at that point but I felt the complications in his eyes.
What was it?
"Take out a search, there's a spy implanted in the pack to acyse havoc,"
