章節 27: Handpicked Alphas

*Noel*

Her words brought heaviness in the air, silence engulfed the room for about half a minute before Mother broke it, "I welcome the Alpha King into our humble pack, we will do our best to make you feel at home. Please excuse this old lady.". She then went out of the room. Olive gave Kyle one last caress before following our mother outside.

After a few seconds when Olive closed the door. Kaleb sighed deeply and commented, "Well, it's worth a shot.". He then sat again and turned around the chair; away from our sights. "I think it's time for me to hit the sack. I already informed the members to 'take their time', they'll arrive within 3 days. You can leave now.".

Outside our father's room, Kyle and I shared a moment of silence then out of nowhere another familiar female voice gained our attention. "You two looked like shit.".

"That's 'handsome' shits for you…" Kyle regained his goofy self with our sister's presence.

"Whatever. Lucky for you Mother was here or else things could get nasty.". I got curious at what she said so I asked, "Phoebe, did Mother see that vision again…?".

"Yeah… And you don't want to know the details.". I see that vision returned. If there's one future that my mother doesn't want to happen, it's that one vision that she doesn't tell us about. I think it has something to do with the demise of our pack though I doubt if that was it. There must be a reason why she intervenes whenever that vision comes back to her.

"We're fine Phoebe, you can go back to bed." Kyle said while grinning at our sister.

She exclaimed, "What!? Who said that I was worried about the two of you!? I – I'm going back to bed!". She then stormed away from us. Both me and Kyle laughed at our sister's façade. Phoebe always displays a strong, rebellious girl but deep inside she's a softie. Just too shy to show us her feelings. She's obviously worried.

"Geez, that girl…" Kyle commented then turned to me, "Thanks for coming dude, I know you're with your mate so I, you know…".

"Don't thank me, it was Olive who called me. She knows you'll go ballistic if I weren't here. You should thank her.".

"Yeah, maybe I should." He suddenly got excited and I don't really want to know why. "Anyway, I really appreciate what you did for today. I, um, need to 'thank' my wife for the save.".

"You do that. I'll go and arrange the preparations for the coming days. We'll discuss it by noon tomorrow.".

"Great! See you at noon then –".

"And Kyle…" I demanded his focus. "Don't be too loud, please…?". He just smiled at me and saluted. And before you know it, he's gone, speeding his way to their bedroom.

I sighed deeply as I headed over to my room. I should prepare not only myself but also our whole pack. We will be welcoming four other Alphas to our pack. Each has their own taste and their own… complications. Kaleb gave us the names of the council members and to be honest they're not a surprise to me. These four Alphas had built names for themselves. I just hope that we can hold this meeting with fewer problems than expected.

Time has passed so fast that the three-day preparation was up. Fortunately, my fellow pack members had done their best in the past days, I am proud of them. It was midday on the fourth day that the members of the High Council started to come into our home.

The earliest is the female Alpha of the Ever-Green pack, Selena Scott-Davis. Yes, she is an Alpha. Her pack's previous Alpha was infertile and in order to have an heir, they held a competition for their strongest wolf which she was named champion. Her Alpha position had also been solidified when the Moon Goddess blessed her with a male human mate, much like me.

Though often underestimated because of her gender, she has an ability that caught Kaleb's interest. Ever wondered why Kaleb is so confident in giving us the names of the council members even though it's supposed to be a secret…? That is because of Selena's memory alteration ability. She can manipulate your memories whenever she wants and you aren't even aware of it.

She was followed by the Dark-Wood pack's Alpha, Gregory Lewis. Though very good-looking, he is every woman's nightmare. He's a notorious womanizer and practically hits on every lady he lays his eyes upon.

His ability, he's capable of Hypnosis. He can hypnotize anyone except the Alpha King, of course. He tried once but lucky for him, Kaleb found him useful or else he would've already been six-foot-under. He can do it with just his voice alone. He's also a formidable opponent, you don't want to piss him off.

Then came the Alpha who has no peculiar ability, just his extensive medical skills, Damien Wright. He is from the Crimson-Blood pack which was known for their knowledge in medicine. His mother is also a witch doctor giving him a very broad spectrum in the medical field.

And lastly, from the Mystic-Shadow pack, Alpha Jayden Harris. After my father's death, Alpha Jayden took his place. He is known to be the 'Silent Alpha' because of his unnatural silence. Though he is not mute, he prefers to not speak most of the time. But that's not the reason why Kaleb chose him, it was his ability to read minds. I don't really know how he does it but rumor says that he can read every mind in a closed room and he just needs to look at you to focus on your thoughts.

These are the Alphas that Kaleb personally handpicked for his so-called 'The High Council'. And they'll all be staying at our house for a while as this meeting commences. I really hope nothing will go wrong on this very day.
