Not Just A Luna; I Am Alpha!

Third Person

“Is it true?” the vampire elder asked one of the councils.

“Yes, my Lord.” the council member answered. “We found out that a Lycan was born about 21 years ago.”

“Where?”

“Red Moon Pack.”

“So, it was the reason why Drake told me that you are lurking around that pack with few of ours?”

“Yes, my Lord. And I’m sorry that some of them lost their lives. I wanted to make sure about what I dreamed years ago.”

“Very well, since you have a reason for it, you are forgiven. But don’t do that again. Let’s not waste our resources just like that. If you want to do something, you have to use your head. We need forces to defeat that Lycan and the werewolves.”

“Yes, my lord.” the council replied as he bowed his head in respect.

The vampire elder has been in hibernation and has only awakened. In his absence, he appointed Drake to take over the coven. He was his most trusted man and second in command when he reigned and was tasked to look after the council members as well. He didn’t want any of them to betray him because he knew that they wanted his brother to lead the whole coven and noble houses around the world.

The council is primarily formed to constantly remind the leading elder about their purpose. But as the elders knew, they didn’t like him. “You can leave,” the elder vampire said, and the council member bowed before he did as he said.

“Drake,”

“Yes, my Lord,” his right-hand man answered.

“You know what to do,”

“Yes, my lord. I am going to have him follow.” Drake replied, “As for the Lycan, do you want me to check on it personally?” he asked,

“Do it discreetly, and I didn’t want the council to know that we are already on it. There’s no way that I am going to let them know my plans.”

“Yes, My Lord,” he answered and left the chamber. The elder who had just been awakened was left in deep thought. As far as he knew, no Lycan would be born in this world. He knew about the curse, and he believed it. He knew about the last Lycan clan that was cursed by a witch. That’s why he wanted to think about it. He didn’t want to worry himself about that fact since the Lycan would be a woman. He doesn’t believe that female Lycan would be able to accomplish anything if not for the eerie feeling that suddenly consumed him.

The elder vampire is Silas Ardelean, the oldest of the two siblings. They alternately reigned their coven and had been in hibernation for almost the same time because the youngest, Dylan Ardelean, was defeated by wolves and hunters during his reign. He was believed to be stronger than his brother, and his sudden weakness that caused him to hibernate made the council suspect Drake, who sabotaged his reign.

Now that Silas is awake and aware of the conflict his reign has to face, he wants to get the council’s support but realizes that he will be having a hard time with them. He thought that the character he sensed with one of them earlier made him believe that they were still rooting for Dylan, which angered him.

He closed his eyes and calmed himself. He didn’t want his greediness to cloud his judgment, but if he ever found out that the council would be of no help to him, he was sure to dispose of them one by one. With that thought, he suddenly remembered someone he knew he could use to execute his plan. Someone he knew who would never say no to him. His lips curved for a smile, and an evil plan started to form in his mind.

Meanwhile, the council member who talked to Silas went to the others and informed them about what they talked about. “Do you think he believes you, Alejandro?”

“Of course, Nicolo.” he replied, “Even if he denies it, he knew to himself about the prophecy that had been told to us. A Lycan that will lead the werewolves in defeating us.”

“This is an urgent matter, and we need to make sure that everything is settled once Dylan awakens.” Vladimir chimed in. “Even if we are not in favor of Silas, we have to do our job and help him defeat those wolves.”

The vampire council consists of 8 members. Five of them are on Dylan’s side, and the other three are to whoever the elder leader is reigning. They didn’t want to get themselves entangled in a rift between the brothers because they knew what would happen to them once they found out that they were choosing sides.

Though it was different from the five members who were adamant about ending Silas’s leadership, they were not afraid of getting killed as long as their cause had been fulfilled. They believe that Dylan is the strongest of the two, even if Silas is older. In terms of leadership, they also believe that the youngest did better than the current one.

They had a meeting and started planning on how they would be able to use Silas to succeed and be victorious versus the werewolves before they executed their plan of killing him without the chance of being reborn or awakened anymore. They would wait for the right time until Dylan was ready and make him their elder leader.

There are other elders in another coven, but the nobles are the only ones who have the right to lead. Silas and Dylan are the only pure, noble vampires left. The others were only half because of the pure, noble vampires who decided to get humans as their partners.

“Silas didn’t want us to use any in the coven as bait. I don’t know if he really wanted to preserve everything or what. But I’m sure that he was thinking of a plan on how he will succeed.” Alejandro said.

“Then we need to provide him with whatever we know,” Nicolo replied,

“That’s already one of the plans. I’m sure that he is going to send someone in the red Moon Pack, so we have to be ready, and we need to try and get some updates from him, which I had a feeling he will never give to us.” The other council agreed and started to talk about the information that they were willing to provide to Silas without harming their personal agenda.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
