The Six Renegade Lunas

Chapter 43 - War

Isabella's P.O.V.

*Two weeks later*

The Alphas or Betas of each pack besides the Thunder Mane pack have come together to prepare for the final battle. We are currently going over all the battles which have been fought over the last two weeks:

"Arthur had attacked the Desert Howler pack (Daniel and Miya's pack) the day after the declaration of war from the council gathering. That was the weakest 'bloodthirsty' pack and close to the Thunder Mane Pack (Arthur's) in strength. They won of course because Arthur didn't consider the fact that the neighboring pack, the Forest Growlers, would aid the Desert Howler. The casualties were low and most of the rogues were killed. There was only one person from the Thunder Mane pack at the battlefield to supervise. 

Three days later, he launched an attack on the Native Bones pack (Emilia's). I believe that Arthur thought that since this pack was weaker than everyone but the Forest Growlers no one would help and it would be easy. The neighboring Bold Fang pack (Jason and Emilia's) got there in time to save the majority. The casualties are higher this time, around ten. There was no capture of members of the Thunder Mane pack

Four days after that, Arthur went for the Crescent pack (Emma's old one) and the Shadow Tooth pack (Christopher and Emma's) simultaneously. He had learned from his mistakes. Carson and I were nearby and able to intervene before the Thunder Mane pack and assembled rogues' victory. It was a stalemate. Christopher was injured and his beta was dead. The Alpha of the Crescent pack was killed. If Carson and I had not intervened, both packs would have been decimated. At this point, we all know that Arthur had assembled a huge force of rogues to be able to attack so many packs so quickly.

And just a day ago, the Iron Walker pack (Sam's old one) and the Somber Paw Furs pack (Sam and Aiden's). This was an attack meant to kill everyone involved. The Alphas had been home in preparation to leave for this meeting. In this case, the Beta of the Iron Walker pack was killed and the Third in Command of the Somber Paw Furs pack was also killed. This weakens both packs tremendously. Luckily, some warriors of the Gray Mane pack and the Black Mane pack were out training and were able to help. 

We were able to capture several high ranking wolves of the Thunder Mane pack who have given information that lead us to believe that Arthur is going to attack our meeting which he believes happens in a week instead of today. They said that Arthur intends to use all his force to kill all the Alphas, leaving the packs leaderless. We will let them attack us before flanking them with what is hopefully superior numbers. Any questions?" I said all of this to the gathered Alphas who have finally accepted me as a main leader in this war. Elina got up from her seat and asked,

"How is the fight going to happen, in wolf or human form?" Oh, shit! I had not thought of that. None of us had told the others that we were white wolves. Everyone is looking at me, waiting for an answer. 

"I will leave that up to the discretion of each Alpha," I answer noncommittally. Elina nods and sits back down. No one else steps forward. Carson stands up and declares,

"If no one had any questions, this meeting is now over. Though I would like to speak more with Alpha Alex, Aiden, Christopher, Jason and Daniel with their Lunas." Those called nod heads in consent and wait until everyone else has left the room. Elina starts the conversation,

"Are we going to tell the others about being white wolves?" Sam and Miya replied with no hesitation,

"No." At the same moment when Emma and Emilia said,

"Yes." I take a deep breath,

"It seems we are at an impasse. What do our mates think?" Carson answers,
