Chapter-4
"when you said they are coming? I thought in a week or so, not the bloody other day." Beta Allen grumbled beside Antalia as they proceeded to go and receive their guests.
"Well maybe I never said anything in particular" Antalia retorted "but is it all you who assumed it? Just be glad that they are here" Antalia knew things will change and rather fast. She has no time yet too much to prepare and many things to be worried about. The Council's next move, their hidden agenda still lingering in the back of her head.
"Glad that I am" Beta Allen Voice has a different type of jive to it and why not? his son is finally returning back after so many years. No matter how old you get, parents always seek their child's warmth, human or werewolves. In this aspect we all are cut from the same cardboard.
"of course you are" Antalia said nevertheless she was secretly happy to see her own family. Antalia never enquired who all were coming along in fear of asking too much on a mere phone call.
Antalia knew one thing: their glee of seeing their blood shouldn't distract them from their duties. "We must be careful Beta Allen. The things that they seem may not be and people around us must not be trusted." she shared her inner turmoil.
"I agree" Allen said "this time this pack won't be the victim of their foreplay" he added remembering the past and the suffering of the pack.
"so when we are leaving" Beta Allen asked changing the topic
"now" Antalia said
Antalia and Beta Allen both left with a few guards for the safety of their guests. Today is what will mark a new journey for this pack. Antalia knew without an Alpha a pack is a vulnerable place so she left Robert in charge in her and Beta Allen's absence. All the way to the airport only one thought circulated in her mind. Why all of a sudden they wanted him to come? Why are they so eager? They are cooking something or trying to hide something important. But what is it? Antalia has to find out.
Soon enough they were standing out of the airport to receive them. Antalia's keen eyes scanned the airport as much as she could. She knows her packmates might have already done that. Still She wanted to scan the area for herself. She can't even have a slip of moment which will definitely cause her things she isn't ready for.
"Be at easy alpha" Beta Allen tried to joke "I made sure no one is following us"
"Well you can never be sure when the council is acting up" Antalia paused a little "they know things we don't and that is when we should worry?"
"What did Robert share?" Beta Allen asked in all seriousness.
"not much" Antalia retorted seeing ahead " yet enough for us to keep,our guard up all the time"
The silence engulfed the current alpha beta; duo. Their minds churning up, connecting the dots to the possible answers that they have yet to come across.
"if they want him here sooner than the actual time" Antalia replied " they must have planned something ahead of us. Which is both bad and worse at the same time."
" Bad and worse" Beta Allen mumbled "How did you come to this conclusion?" Allen wanted to know why his alpha thought like that ? What compelled her to think like that? Are they side eyeing some clues? but what Allen was not ready about was the forbidden word that every werewolf community feared to listen to.
"The мрак" Antalia uttered
No more words were exchanged between Alpha and Beta. They stood side by side quietly waiting for the arrival of the person whose life was going to drastically change for better or worse only time held the answer to that.
Allen's mind started portraying him the images of what it could mean for them. If the council is indeed thinking what his Alpha just said. It can cause uproar; the chaos that no one saw coming. Though, the bigger question is not what Council wants. But, are they ready to face hell; dance to the rhythm of their music?
If it would have been another thing Allen would not be so worried yet here it is. Allen's brain is already wrecked with umpteenth scenarios. If Council is so interested to poke in their business, it means they have a ahead start to marginalise the opportunity.
"Do you think he can face that?" Allen is not so comfortable still to say the name out loud.
"not he" Antalia "They. The council just won't be testing him alone. They will be chewing the bait completely off the bat this time. No mercy whatsoever."
Allen didn't want any further explanation from his alpha. He knows now all of them will be tested and poked especially the two whose anticipated arrival most awaited one not just for them, for the council too or maybe for the whole community. Allen is afraid and rightfully so although he never went through it himself but knew enough over the years that it is the worst nightmare for any creature alive.
"don't let them see the frown lines Beta Allen" Antalia prompted " they don't know what they are capable of. Trust me on this they are not coming unprepared. If I know anything from my own experience they might just be ready to fight and show them their rightful place."
"We need to fend them together," Antalia added
"Rightfully so" Beta Allen agreed and he wholeheartedly did. He has to trust his alpha and her decisions. "Are you planning to tell them soon?" He further enquired.
" Maybe" Antalia replied "or maybe they already know" but didn't further explain it to him.
Antalia understood his worry and anticipation yet not much should be said not now at least when their every move is traced. In due time all will be clear. Although her guts are screaming much more will be revealed then they know or ever expected. only one thing can tell them what this pandora box holds; time.
"Their flight landed," Antalia spoke. Finally she could meet them. It's been so many years though she could have visited but never went around to it. She had to fight her own demons before she faced her loved ones. It's been a hard journey for her too. That no one knew. She did her best to survive and to mend this pack by putting all the jagged pieces together. And no one, she meant it as a moon promise no one is going to destroy the Home she built with her blood.
"they are here"
