"This is a mess. It seems like I have left for a really long time that not even my subjects remember who I am."

I can feel my strength increase as I feel my wolf, Althea, start to gain control over my body. Soon, waves of wind start to form around us.

Preposterous. I hear Althea speak on my mind.

What is? The disrespectful Alpha, or my good sister?

You know who!

Your temper is as fiery as always. I chuckle and let Althea do the reign.

As soon as I did, waves and waves of strong wind came blowing around us. In a blink of an eye, a big hurricane is threatening to form.

"Is this what you want? That I overcome you with power? Cannot your wolves feel my authority over them?" A magical sound comes from my lips. Right then, I know that my image is transforming.

"Are your wolves not trembling?" Althea softly says. But the impact of those words is more powerful than anyone can imagine. Right away, everyone starts to badly tremble. Their eyes are starting to look different. Their wolves are starting to take control.

"Are your wolves trying to take over your bodies?" Althea softly continues. "I can't blame them." She adds.

"Because all of them started from me." Her heavy words are accompanied with the darkening of the sky. One glance and you can say that a storm is brewing.

A huge storm that I am brewing.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound comes from above. The sky, which has become darkened, starts to form a huge whirlpool. Althea is definitely not trying to control her powers.

It is true that if her powers turn berserk, not only the whole forest but even the nearby towns will be destroyed.

But that thing, Althea and me doesn't need to worry about it.

As if affirming our thoughts, a thin red shield has started to surround our area.

I don't need to look who made it. No one but Lucas can hold to our power.

No.

By the feel of his aura, he has long surpassed us.

"I, the queen of the wolves, has been hidden for years and no one has remembered me."

Our voice issues a strong declaration that we are ruler of the wolves. But, no one dares refute it... because they can feel the unmistakable authority from our voice within their souls.

And this authority, they have never felt before, because it is an authority of a royalty over the Alphas.

Immediately, the four werecouncil kneel uniformly, affirming and confirming my claim.

All of the wolves then realize...

The royalty of the wolves are back.

Suddenly, Althea's pressure increases which makes everyone kneel too. Of course, everyone except my mate who is standing nearby with his arms crossed over her chest and an amused smile on his face.

He looks like a doting person who amusingly looks over his favorite child throwing a tantrum.

"Not only my subjects dare to forget who I am. They even dare to humiliate my master." Althea continues.

"You little Alphas who think that they are kings just because of tiny authority. What right do you have to scold a Luna of another pack? What right do you have to think that you are above the mate of your equal?" Althea purposely adds.

Saying that Lucas is "equal" to these alphas is simply to irritate Lucas. But, I understand why Althea did it. How come Lucas thinks it is alright to feel amused with the situation?

Right enough, Lucas made a tiny frown when he heard it.

"My master asked for formation, all of you were preposterous to not obey. Some of you are even crazy enough to make a drama. Thinking that everything is about them." Soon, my sight focuses on my beloved sister who looks... horrified. Her body was trembling as she fell on her knees. Her head is lowered down and doesn't dare to even lift her eyes.

"A chatterbox who despises my master. One who goes to another pack and tells everyone confidential matters. Did you think you were allowed to do it or you just assumed that you could do anything? Maybe you planned to put the blame over my master if something comes wrong."

Ah. Here it comes. I knew it.

The main reason why Althea has come out.

She is really irritated with my sister, someone who targets her master these past few years. A petty reason, because truthfully, this girl doesn't matter. Still I admit that it feels very fulfilling to see her trembling with fear.

How can she imagine that the sister she has been mistreating is someone who now claims to be the queen of the wolves?

"You. A petty nobody. Has tried to harm my master so many times." Althea slowly continues. Sometimes, when the matter involves me, she goes crazy.

"By violating the pack rules, I declare that you will be banished from the pack. I am severing the tie which connects you from us. You are now without a connection, unless accepted by another pack. Henceforth, you are now a rogue." Ahh. She really did it. Althea's grudge can't be easily quenched.

Right away, Analise's body shakes violently, and, immediately, her body emits a different smell. A smell of a rogue.

It is known that only an alpha can banish a member from the pack. It is also known that it will take a day or two, depending on the status of the banished wolf, for its scent to be that of the rogues. Because of this, most packs require that banished members should be imprisoned for two days until their smell changes before they chase the wolf away from the pack.

Even when banished by the previous Alpha Kings, it would take a few hours before their smell changed.

An immediate change of smell like this is unheard of. It only shows the power and authority of Althea over the other wolves. True enough, the faces of everyone, except that of an annoying one, is filled with disbelief.

Immediately, I can feel Althea withdraw her control over my body.

You got what you wanted, now you leave me to fix the mess you started? I ask her in my mind.

Hahahahahahahaha! Serves her right. She is lucky I only did this. I would have wanted to keep her in the pack and make her life hell. Althea secretly laughs in my mind as I manage to keep my face serious.

I zeroed in on my look to the werecouncil who were kneeling in front.

"Can you now confirm my ability and qualifications to lead this war?" I softly ask them.

They give me an immediate response. Right away, they stand up and uniformly do a longbow.

"You are our queen. We will do as you say." I hear them say as Althea continues to laugh inside my mind.
