Wrath of Roma

Chapter 15
--------------

California, Lockbourne territory

The emergency council of council of seven was in session. The council of seven as it was commonly known as was the US werewolf council. These seven Alphas literally controlled all of US territories.

All of them were grim faced, weary from an overnight journey, rushed over to Lockbourne territory for this emergency meeting.

"Roma has made its intensions clear. Not that they were hidden to begin with, they plan to take over our territories and establish a monarchy." Gordon stated, well in to the meeting.

To go to war with Roma he needed their support and he intended to get that today.

"How?" Alpha Logan asked. Logan was the only powerful opponent to Lockbourne, the others would fall in line with whoever won this argument.

"Well they have taken over Colorado and now they have slaughtered the Montana pack" Lockbourne said.

"Colorado is your mess Lockbourne" Logan stated. "Not sure why we dilly dallied in helping out Nick and the others and I don't see any land being captured in Montana?"

"They killed the entire pack!" Lockbourne spat with anger.

"In retaliation to taking her parents out, World war I started because someone killed the king's nephew. You fuck with a monarch bad shit happens and by the way none of us were kept in loop of such actions. You cannot take out one of the world's most powerful family's relations out without keeping us in loop and then expect to back you up when things go south" Logan argued.

"They infiltrated the pack lands! Then sent in assassins! We had captured and killed them!" Lockbourne bit out.

"It would have served us better if you would have caught them alive, we have no proof except a camera footage of folks entering a room, their faces conveniently covered. We can never prove that it was them." Logan countered.

"Who else would enter Patrick's territory with guns? Guns are Roma's signature weapons."

"And yet someone took out Prince Maxwell and his mother with guns" Logan pointed out.

"I want my cousin's death avenged!" Lockbourne yelled wildly in raging anger.

"Justice, Lockbourne" Logan calmly said "you started off with justice and now you want vengeance? They are two different things, I will not partake my men in some foolish family feud which you should not have started to begin with." Logan countered "However, I will help you get justice" he said looking pointedly at other alphas who were silently sitting at the table.

"Justice?" Lockbourne asked incredulous.

"Yes" Logan said calmly "Let's assume that Roma sent in people to take out your cousin, let's just assume for the sake of argument while we don't have any concrete proof. You should have retaliated proportionately, take out Nick or even her but taking out her parents was low blow...even for you, of course you would make her react the way she did and what I don't understand is if she could wipe out a pack this way, the way she did, why did she bother sending assassins in stealth at all?"

"Do we know how she did this, how she wiped out Patrick's pack?" one of the alphas broke silence.

"Not sure, we found lot of bullets and buildings destroyed which we can only assume damaged by some heavy duty explosives." Alpha Collins responded. He was the first one to be on the spot, Gordon has woken him up in the middle of the night all panicking and rushed him there.
