rother Alpha goes through that same thing. Alpha Wallace. Have you had an attack from our worst enemy that killed half of your pack and your father?” Declan asked, defending Yuan whom he could feel close to bursting
That attack, the same as the other victims of the Vampires, is and will always be a sensitive topic to Yuun who had lost his father and half of his packmates. And to hear how that news was treated as if it was just another common problem thut everyone has to face was something Declan could not just tolerate,
at that
The old Alpha buffed. He was using his age as an anchor to lift up his authority even more. He is as old as Harry, and is the only Alpha that is at age, still strong enough to lead his people.
“You kids have never been in our situation before. We didn’t have it easy just like you do now. We didn’t have the accessibility you have, that’s why you tend to intensity things that are not even that big. And your father died of a sickness, Beta Yuan, not of the attack.” He pointed a finger at Yuan who immediately clenched his fists.
“I didn’t know you were there when my father died, Alpha Wallace. Yes, he had a heart attack, but he was already injured when he lud it. But my father’s cause of death is not the point here. It is about the vampires increasing in numbers and trying to overpower us. What we need is to unify, inviead of holding on to your pride, scured that someone younger is stronger and more powerful than you are.”

Alpha Wallace glared. “Why you—”
“Enough”

Decian didn’t raise his voice but the authority in it was enough for the exclaiming Alpha to shut up, and Yuan to stop midway as he stood up his seat, ready to attack.
‘Calm down, Yuan. We are not here to create division. He mindlinked the latter, knowing how mad he had gonen. He could practically hear through Yuan’s mind’s barrier the gnashing of his woll’s teetle
He muy Juve yielded to be a Beta, but he still got a strong Alphia wolf in him.
Make this quick, or you’re gonna have to stop me from bashing this old wolf’s head: Yuak’s tone was clipped.

Jasper las alieady told them about what happened: his prior negotiations and the attack that happened. Declan thought this would be easier since they already agreed to pornt after hearing whai jasper hail to say. But it fell on deaf ears. Alplus Wallace wasn’t hearing any of it
“I understand your hesitations, believe me, dus not the first those we’ve had this kuud of conversation. But our enemies are real. They are not made up. Alphia Jasper can already textily to that, the same way the other Alphas who yielded to my authority dal. It is important we stand up against them, uniting to dele them and their growing furces”
“How strong do you think are they that you’re urging every Alpha to follow your cause, Alpha Declan? Is this truly for everyone’s welfare? Or par your owli protection siter you are their target” Anvilier Alplin asked

Declan sighed and watched Alpha Kent who askril. He could see how hesitant he was, but at least he was willing to hear him unlike Wallace

Declan emphasized, looking at every Alpha and Beta in the room with him.
They were silent but Declan could almost hear them thinking out loud.

He turned his attention to the grumpy Alpha Wallace who’s hard demeanor softened just a bit after he mentioned Alpha batch as his father, Harry. And hearing his comrade unust have pulled something in him.
Declan could almost see the cloud of hesitation in his eyes. His walls cracking.
To be honest Alpha” Alpha Samwell, the one who has just been silent the entire time, spoke for the first time
“My only concern is rooted from the part where you want us to join you fight them. I do understand your idea of unity, but we could always just strengthen our forces, even ask for our neighboring pack’s help if ever we need more people when a fight comes, I juu do not understand why we seem to have to follow your lead regarding this. To follow your methods. It’s like you’re creating a kingdom for yourself”
His last statement caused a murmuring amongst the other Alphas. Even Jasper looked at him with a tinge of reluctance in his brown

Declan sighed. “It is because we are dealing with a force stronger than any of us. We need the entire community to work together to go against it.”
Alpha Wallace scoffed. “If you’re afraid of their king, then I’m pretty sure Harry is ashamed of you. The vampires may be our worst enemy, but we are also theirs. Meaning, our strength is up to par with them. You’re just making this big. With more training, and some new methods you said we’d need to learn. I know we can defeat them on our own. No need to unify under your authority”
Declan shook his head, starting to get annoyed with the older Alpha
“First, I am not trying to create a kingdom. I never asked all of the Alphas who yielded in my authority to surrender to me Yuan quickly nodded.
“Secondly, the vampires‘ strength and even their speed is not our top concern. It is the creature whom they are searching for. A creature that they are going to use as a weapon to destroy us
“What creature?” Alpha Jasper asked.
Declan wasn’t supposed to share this.

“They call it the Blood Creature. To be honest, we do not have any information regarding what it is–for now. But we captured some vampires and managed to get this information from some of them. They called it the samething.”
Just like Declan expected, no one had an idea what the Blood Creature was.
His cool gray orbs suddenly assaulted Declan.
Bur Alpha Gilmore, just a couple of years younger than Alpha Wallace suddenly met his e
“Blood Creature. I’ve heard about them. They are indeed one of the strongest creatures to have ever lives in this planet. They are very rare, but one of them could create or break an entire civilization.
“How do you know about that?” The oldest Alpha asked. His bery brown eyes are a
yes are a heavy contrast to the cool toned, gray orbs of the latter.
-You forget that my bloodline one of the oldest in this community, Alpha Wallace. We are the first pack in the South and have managed to preserve some customs and knowledge that none of you have any regards to.”
For oure, that made the oldest Alpha shuuut his mouth. Declan felt a bit relieved that someone was finally putting some input.
And the fact that he knows something alean this Blood Creature was another cause of relief in his chest.
do you know of them, Alplia Wallace?” He asked.
The Alpha thought, his thoughtful face turned focused on a spot in front of him.
“There is little known about this creature only that they are extremely fast, they heal taster than any of us, they could be immortal, and they have soltar powers und nown to us within theu vejom. They can shift, but they also drink blood”
Almost all of them grimaced and frowned at the last statement
“Are you saying this Blood Creature is a hybrid, Alplu Gilmore?” Jasper asked, intrigued.
The Alpha nodded “Indeed. This creature ha hybrid of a werewolf and a vampire. Conceived by physical birth, not a werewolf changed by a vampire’s bir
