Third Person POV

Over a thousand people gathered together in the town's Pack Hall, all seated according to their status. The elders in their uniformed black robes and withered faces sat away from the rest, in the front corner of the room. Warriors and Scouts were stationed in the back of the hall, along with Omegas who were not seated. The Beta, Delta, and Sentiles along with their families sat in the first rows of seats. While the rest of the pack sat in the middle rows.

At the very front and center, facing the Pack Hall, sat three people exuding powerful supernatural power. The Alpha sat stiffly in his royal seat attempting to control his inner wolf who demanded justice, his mate and Luna sat with an elegant posture, distracted by a telepathic conversation going on with a border scout, the last was their second child who was nervously shaking his leg with an unreadable expression on his face. The fourth seat next to him remained unoccupied not going unnoticed by the gossiping crowd.

People wondered in hushed tones where the eldest son of the Alpha could be.

"Is he the reason the town was called for an emergency pack meeting?" A prepubescent teen asked his chunky friend a row in front of him.

"I heard he's consorting with the rogues that were reported last week."

"Pfft, okay Chuck, I'm sure that's it," the teen scoffed.

"It's true! Mikey says his dad saw them when he was patrolling the borders!" the kid squeaks, raising his voice.

The mother of the child hushed the two boys with a look of angry disapproval.

"If all could quiet down. The meeting is now in session," an Elder with a strict looking face speaks into the microphone.

The room goes obediently silent, members of the pack apprehensive to hear the words of their Alpha.

Pack meetings are very rare in the Blood Woods Pack. They almost always meant a war was coming or a large number of rogues had been spotted close to the pack's perimeters.

"It has come to the Elders and my attention that my oldest son is unfit to succeed me after I have passed," the Alpha states. He pauses letting the news sink into the shocked crowd.

"I have decided for the good of my people to anoint my second son as your next Alpha in command. In a week's time, I will be hosting my son's coronation before the Full Moon Ball. All must attend," he commands.

An outcry of confused pack members speak out.

"Coronation?"

"What's going on?"

"THIS IS OUTRAGES!"

"I don't understand?"

"But he can't be our Alpha! This is unethical!"

"What about his mate! She is unfit to be our Luna!"

Everyone in the room was speaking up growing louder by the minute, confused, and angered by the words of their Alpha.

"SILENCE!" the Alpha's authority booms through the room as well as through the telepathic link of all his peoples minds. Children whimper in fear, some flinching, covering their ears at the Alpha's intrusive words. People stare wide-eyed and stunned by their Alpha's unusual display of power.

"I do not need to explain myself, I am your leader and I ensure you what I do is what is best for my people," he declares heatedly. The Luna gently holds the Alpha's hand, giving it an encouraging squeeze. This seems to have the desired effect on the Alpha because he calms down with a harsh intake of air.
