Callahan

The meeting was going for an eternity and I longed to get out of the meeting room. But it was important

that I stay there.

A few select alphas were seated across the large conference room along the huge oval shape table.

I was seated on the far right while the alphas were all seated on the left, huddled together in a group for

me to clearly see

them all.

“King Callahan, the smaller packs are getting very restless after the last rogue attack. The news spread

through the kingdom like wildfire.”

I kept twirling the paperweight with my hand on the table, deep in thought.

Another one added, “Yes, your majesty. They are quite shaken and restless. We have also received

news that the rogues are trying to lure the smaller packs in joining them.”

I raised an eyebrow at that.

“And do what?” I asked as the alpha suddenly straightened up to have received my attention.

He leaned forward and began narrating excitedly. “Rumor is that the rogues are threatening the smaller

packs to join them. and instigate them against you. If the smaller packs dont listen, then they try to lure

them by promising wealth and luxury after…”

He trailed off, but I probed, “after what?”

He gulped nervously. “After the curse takes its effect.”

I let out a mirthless chuckle. “So after I die. Good to know”

They all fell deadly silent, and the alpha would not even look at me.

My gamma, Elijah, who had just returned from a special

trip I had sent him to, tried to intervene.

“My King, this is not a joke. We have to find a cure soon and also silence these rogues.”

While we were discussing this, the door to the meeting room flew open. Drusilla stepped in and looked

straight at me, her hands on her hips.

“Are you going to let me have that ball or not?”

She added, huffing like a mad bull. I squinted my eyes as she looked around and only now realized that

she had walked in on a room full of people.

The alphas all stared at her as she lowered her hands and spoke in a low voice, “Uh, I am sorry. I

thought it was only Elijah and Matteo here.”

However, the bird was out of the nest.

“Ball?”

“Are we having a ball?”

“Is that the mate ball?”

The alphas began discussing excitedly within themselves, and I shook my head. These so–called

warriors and brave men who had been discussing killing rogues just a minute ago melted at the thought

of having a ball.

I raised an eyebrow at them. “Were we all not thinking about how to silence the rogues?”

The alpha who had been talking to me spoke again when the others signalled him to be their

spokesperson,

“Uh, well, Miss Drusilla has a very noble idea. If you instruct the packs in your stern and commanding

voice, they will only listen half–heartedly. But, if we have some sort of event, it will make them feel

welcome and show them that you are truly listening to their pleas.”

When I did not instantly reject the idea, he added, “Plus, it will be a good chance for us to find our

mates. Some of us are still waiting to find a luna. The smaller packs will automatically feel more loyalty

towards you than rogites.”

1 slammed my hand upon

the table, “There will be no mating ball. Do you all think of nothing except mates?”

The alpha immediately crouched back and tried to disappear into the chair. A few threw helpless

glances to Drusilla, who

tried to intervene.

“Uh, your…your breeder wants to be a part of the ball too. In fact, she even wants to arrange it so that

everybody gets a chance to mingle.”

Breeder? I did not have any breeders.

Drusilla shrieked like a little girl as I stepped out of the meeting room of my office and headed straight

to her room.

The door to her room was closed, so I knocked, but there was no answer. After knocking again and

waiting for a while, I slowly pushed the door open.

Had she just tried to run away? I remembered how she had tried to walk toward the hospital door of her

room but collapsed on the ground after a few steps.

Was she hurt?

She was nowhere to be seen as I stepped inside and looked around. And I was about to call her name

when she stepped out of the bathroom… wearing nothing but a towel.
