The Wounded Heart ¶¶ TK ✓

Chapter -20

  ♡

Past an hour the seatings haven't changed.

The early arrival in an excuse of a time for bonding, connecting and filling in the bits of others' life they were absent have gradually drifted to the deep conversation of concerns for which the council meeting had been arranged.

The rise of rebels and other rogue wolves have been wreaking havoc around the werewolf realm.

The situation was not uncalled or unknown, every a decade or few decades period of time there are rise against the righteous of laws passed in the realm, while the upcoming generation worked to lower down the past unfair traditions— gender and sub gender inequality, bonding, learning beyond the realm, blind worship, superstitions and mainly the inhumanity subjected to the omegas, stripped from basic human rights. As well the matebond— two fated separating left a black mark on them, they were isolated, looked with distaste and disgust. While Centuries ago the sacred bond stood high and mighty binding two souls for lives and reasoning death for separation or If rejected however, as decades passed the Moon Goddess merely blessed the wolves with a your person; making them yours, binding the bond, cherishing, loving and holding the bond for forever depends on the chosen ones, she granted them options– fair ones, if your will and heart is in the person the bond itself tightens for life.

But these dwindling traditions and superstitions declining with time and wolves eventually embracing the changes with open arms weren't tolerated or accepted by few tropes of wolves separating themselves from the right changes they rebelled to go few agonizing centuries back, keep and bring back those nonsensical, hurtful and inhumane takes.

This year, the rise of rogue activity has increased drastically. Packs across the region reported heightened security breaches near their borders, suspicious takes with rogues often lurking in isolated or less-patrolled areas.

Patrol schedules had to be extended, and the atmosphere within while most pack members/citizens remained unaware there were wolves who had picked up strang, unfamiliar rogue scents making few pack's atmosphere tense. 

The situation had escalated to the point where even the Council of the wolf realm was forced to intervene, issuing warnings and guidelines to ensure the safety of pack members.

For Coral Heart the situation was no different especially with newly crowned Head Alpha and Luna.

Their territory stood vast compared to other packs, heavily consisting of dense forest unpatrolled and abandoned due to the heavy woods and eerie aura the woods gave – an easy way to hide for the wolves or build their campaign hidden for searching eyes.

Well-guarded, there were no such reports of rogue intruders near the boundaries hadn't grown more frequent. 

However the southern and western realm had more than frequent alerting reports they were concerned about. The rogues were becoming bolder, probing defenses and even engaging patrol groups in skirmishes.

Sitting at the couch Taehyung scanned the reports Namjoon handed to him along with the report of Chois beta commander. 

The list of incidents was growing longer, and it was clear the rogues weren’t just aimless wanderers anymore echoing and demanding their foolish declarations of retrieving back the laws.

There were patterns of strategic movements that suggested coordination– the tropes might have extended.

This is no good.
