It was Lynda who was standing next to him.</p> <p>My attention was drawn to Lynda’s hand, which was encircling Adrian’s arm on the other side.</p> <p>Almost instantly, I turned my gaze away from them.</p> <p>When I switched my attention back to Alpha Lucas, I responded by saying,</p> <p>“Since your son has already committed, he must be very happy.”</p> <p>I overheard Adrain saying,</p> <p>“No.” It came out as a whisper.</p> <p>It left me feeling confused. On the other hand, I shrugged my shoulders, and I asked Alpha Lucas,</p> <p>“How is Luna?”</p> <p>“She is not Luna anymore. Soon, someone else will seize the position.” During his response, Alpha Lucas looked Lynda in the side eye.</p> <p>The fact that he did not like Lynda was obvious to me. I had nothing to do with it in any way.</p> <p>“Grace had a fever, so she could not attend the event.” Alpha Lucas said about Adrian’s mother.</p> <p>“I hope she’ll be fine soon.”</p> <p>“She misses you a lot. Why don’t you come to the Crystal Blood Pack. to meet her?” Alpha Lucas proposed.</p> <p>I shook my head at him and replied, “Accept my apology. I have to</p> <p>return to the Blue Blood Pack after this event.”</p> <p>After he heard that, Adrian gave me from expression. “Why would yo</p> <p>Eric’s voice interrupted him. Eric approached me,</p> <p>“Don’t tell me you are lost again.”</p> <p>The way he looked made me laugh. Because he was aware that I was unable to escape this situation, he came to my rescue.</p> <p>‘No, I was talking to Alpha Lucas.” I told Eric.</p> <p>I looked at Alpha Lucas and introduced Eric to him.</p> <p>“He is Eric Hart, the beta of the Blue Blood Pack.”</p> <p>Not only did I completely ignore Adrian and Lyndra, but Eric did the same thing.</p> <p>“Of course. Who doesn’t know him? Beta Eric, Alpha Martin.</p> <p>Hansley’s left hand, and the current Alpha, Jason Hansley’s closest friend. Because of his assistance, Alpha Martin was able to run his pack efficiently.” A</p> <p>I slowly turned my head to Eric. He nodded his head without replying.</p> <p>“Not bad.” I mumbled to him.</p> <p>“I am grateful that you appreciate my worth. I have to borrow this beautiful lady from you. There is something that I would like to discuss with her.” Eric sa</p> <p>Alpha Lucas looked amazed as he glanced at me.</p> <p>“Ladies and gentlemen, may I pay your attention, please?”</p> <p>A resounding voice could be heard coming from the speakers. It appeared as though a member of the council was going to make an</p> <p>announcement sometime soon.</p> <p>When Eric reached out and grabbed my hand, he made his way toward the audience that was gathering around the stage.</p> <p>As we stood there, I expressed my gratitude to him. “You saved me today.”</p> <p>“Did he say something?” he asked as his eyes were fixed on the stage.</p> <p>“No.”</p> <p>I did not want there to be any drama in this place. mostly due to the fact that my brother gave Eric permission to get into a fight if someone said anything</p> <p>For that reason, I could only avoid saying anything to Eric.</p> <p>He was my very good friend. We had been friends for four years. He assisted me in many ways. I knew that he cared for me a lot.</p> <p>“There is a reason behind this event. Firstly, to strengthen the bond between the large werewolf packs, and secondly, we have recently received a couple</p> <p>All of us were shocked.</p> <p>“We know it’s bad news. But if we cooperate with one another, we will be able to identify those who have committed the wrongdoing,” another member o</p> <p>“It is time for us to take a stand alongside one another. We</p> <p>anticipate that the large packs will be with us because you, on the other hand, won’t be able to avoid them attacking your pack members very soon.”</p> <p>From behind us, an Alpha uttered,</p> <p>“We don’t know anything about them. What rank are they?”</p> <p>The members of the council replied, “They can be Alphas; they can be different ranks. But we presumed that they were a group of evildoers. They intend</p> <p>The council members looked around the hall. Their eyes first landed on us, and then they moved on to look at other people.</p> <p>“All the big pack’s Alphas or their officials are here. We hope that each of you will be ready to participate in war at any time.”</p> <p>I had been in contact with Pack Hospital, so I was aware of the injuries. The fact that people were losing their lives for no reason. was upsetting to me.</p> <p>“It looks like we have to prepare for a battle against those wolves.” Eric said.</p> <p>I nodded at him. The announcement made everyone silent.</p> <p>After all the council members finished discussing it, everyone headed to the next hall to have dinner.</p> <p>The only thing that I had a problem with was the length of time that the event would last. It would last for three days.</p> <p>I had to stay away from Noah and Aria for three days, which saddened me.</p> <p>But so many pack members were getting injured for someone’s conspiracy, which also made me feel angry.</p> <p>The council members invited us to the grand table. It was like a feast. Around twenty individuals were able to take seats at the main table. The Big packs</p> <p>Eric and I went to sit on the chairs.</p> <p>“Alpha Adrian, please have a seat here.” The old member of the council spoke to Adrian with a tone of respect..</p> <p>He did not reject him and proceeded to sit down in a chair. Lynda did not pass up the opportunity and walked behind him. I did not see Alpha Lucas. I as</p> <p>On the right side, Adrian and Lynda were both seated in close proximity to the members of the council, while Eric and I were seated on the left side.</p> <p>To my surprise, Adrian chose the opposite chair of mine. I was facing him. But I tried my best not to look at him the whole time. I did not want him to think that I was shameless and was still after noveldrama</p> <p>him.</p> <p>“Two packs have raised really well in the last few years. Two of them are the Crystal Blood Pack and the Blue Blood Pack.”</p> <p>Packs were the topic of discussion among the council members. I was busy eating. But my thoughts were not on the meal; rather, I was pondering the tim</p> <p>The whole time, I felt a gaze over me. As I raised my head, my eyes came into contact with a set of dark orbs.</p> <p>Adrian was staring at me.</p> </body></html>
