Chapter 7

Isabella's P.O.V.

Recap

After assessing what I have to work with, I turn to Alpha Oliver and order, "Call all the Alphas in North America and the Kings of each subdivision in the world. Get them all on within the next fifteen minutes."

With that, I leave the room to head to the kitchen. Even an Immortal Alpha Queen needs to eat at some point.

Recap over

I went and made myself a sandwich. Carson was helping Alpha Oliver and Addison was talking to the pack. If her family was dead, Addison would make a good Alpha Queen if her mate was a not a high level rogue.

One thing I didn't tell her is that I fully expect that her mate was the Rogue King or the Beta. MG was annoying like that and thought it would make it better. It would make my job easier. My power could only work in the presence of wolves. I needed the Rogue King in front of me to make him submit. And Addison could make him come. 

Just making it clear, I would never hurt Addison, but I have no problem pretending to threaten her life for him to listen to me. I quickly eat my sandwich and head back to the conference room.

I was right on time because when I entered I heard the King of Europe ask, "Why did you call us Alpha Oliver? You sounded desperate."

At that moment, I walked in, "He was worried about me."

"YOU!" said the King of Africa. I had been in Africa before the Call and the African Kings could always tell who I was no matter what. The worst part is that I have no idea how they do it. 

"Me," I tell him right back. 

"You are supposed to be dead," he continued. I think his name was along the lines of King Lucas Kabengele, the same name as the African King I dealt with in my time.

I told him, "If you hadn't noticed before, I am very hard to kill."

He throws his hands in the air, "I give up. The last time I saw you defending my kingdom from a rebellion led by rogues at least ten years ago, you were dead. I saw you bleeding out. There was no way to survive such a wound and now you are here." 

"Yup, can't get rid of me that easily," I quip. Everyone else in the room was looking at us weirdly. There were holograms of the person's body, so it was like they were all here in person. No one but Carson and Addison somewhat could understand our conversation.

"No kidding. So it is true about the attack on the castle?" asked King Lucas.

"Yes, Addison here did the Call from the Legend and here I am," I answered him.

"How are we getting it back, Isabella?" he questioned.

"First, I think we should explain who I am and our situation before going on," I replied. Everyone was still very confused. 

The King of Europe Jacques Vasseur exclaimed, "I would greatly appreciate that someone explains exactly who is this woman and how does King Lucas in Africa knows this and not us!"

The others nodded their agreement. King Lucas of Africa stood and explained, "As you always know, the werewolf Kings from Africa always had the ability to recognize great power. That is how they recognized the first Alpha Queen before everyone else."

I mutter under my breath, "That's not exactly how it happened." I looked up and everyone was staring at me. I met each of their eyes and they looked down. I then looked back at King Lucas and shrugged.

King Lucas cleared his throat and continued, "You know about my bastard brother who was greatly upset when I took the throne. He led a rebellion trying to take me down, and he nearly succeeded. Well, he would have if not for the appearance of this woman and her mate. They showed up just as my Beta was killed. To my eyes, they emanate the power of the first Alpha Queen and Kings. I was shocked at first, believing them to be with my brother as they appeared out of nowhere."

"Are we expected to believe this fairy tail?" rudely interrupted the King of Asia. I gave him an icy glare and he shut up.

Lucas took a breath, "As I was saying, the woman and her mate followed me instead. I didn't give any orders because I was just about to retreat and lose the castle. The woman fought like she was possessed by the devil. Never in any of my years had I seen such skill. She killed and killed. Soon enough, I had more wolves in the battle than my rogue brother. She killed him too but he gave her a fatal wound in exchange. I ran to help her and give her my thanks, but instead she smiled at me and said, 'No thanks is needed. I will always come in your time of need no matter what. Next time we meet I hope you recognize me and my power.' After those words, her mate picked her and I never saw them again. . ."

He let his voice trail off in a very dramatic manner. The African Kings always had a flair of dramatic for storytelling.

King Lucas finished his story, "I always assumed that this furious woman warrior died that day and her mate went mad like what usually happens when your other half is lost. Now, I see them once more and I recognize her power as old as time." He approached me and bowed. "First Alpha Queen, it has been so long since your identity has been revealed."

The silence in the room was deafening. All of their ancestors always spoke of the first Alpha Queen and her return. What the didn't know was that I never left. I was here still. 

Like the first time around, the King Jacques of Europe caused some problems, "How can we believe you? King Lucas might claim having the sight to see your power, but the rest of us will not believe you on your own word."

This time around, I had prepared something else, "I had thought that might happen. Princess Addison, would you like to speak?"

She was the one who could make it better or worse. As these werewolves were not here in a physical body, but holograms, my power would work less. I could make it work as they seem weaker than their ancestors, but do I really want to, no.

I looked expectantly at Addison as she stepped up. As the only current Royal here, she had the highest official status. The werewolf Kings bowed as she was above them. 

This meeting will go one of two ways. If Addison succeeds at convincing them, my life would be easier. Or so I hope at least.

It was the time she stepped up as the surviving princess
