Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 307 Council Meeting CASSANDRA One thing was absolutely certain amongst Asher, the councilors he trusted, and I.

Whatever Oliver Moses wanted to do at the council meeting, we needed to stop him. We were in complete agreement but knew we needed others to agree to our cause. We needed the support of other Packs in order to bring him down, and knew we wouldn’t get far without it.

“Oliver Moses has quite a number of soldiers stationed in Anemond, especially around Merlisicre,” Karsh revealed solemnly. “If we want to confront the Moseses, we will need a troop of good soldiers of our own.”

Though I didn’t want to admit it, the councilor was correct in his assessment. Despite having support from Alpha Gareth, Wild Crawler on its own couldn’t provide enough soldiers.

If we wanted to gather real numbers to stand against the Moses soldiers, we needed to contact other Packs and ask for their support.

“Your Majesty, it would be best for you to remain in the darkness before the meeting,” Jacoby advised after a moment of silence. “We don’t know which Packs are complicit with Moses and don’t want to show our hand before we even get to the meeting.

Karsh and I should make the calls ourselves. We can do so here while we’re gathered, given that your phones are capable?” After I nodded, the councilors gathered

alist of Packs and began to make their calls while Asher and I waited and listened quietly. I took notes after every call, writing down every Paack who supported the Alpha King and those who seemed to support Oliver Moses.

Unfortunately for us, the calls did not go well.

Most of the Alphas of Wegalla had an ambiguous attitude toward the running of the country, which frustrated Asher to no end.

Many of them in favor of Asher’s rule noted they wouldn't want to go against Moses, the regent of Wegalla, and didn’t have extra soldiers to send to the capital. They needed to protect their own lands in case war broke out, so they couldn’t spare their men even

if it was in support of the Alpha King.

Some were more straightforward than that. They said in a variety of ways that the Alpha King was missing and probably dead, so they had better listen to Oliver Moses, the former Beta who might be the next king.

It was infuriating to say the least.

I was still hurt and annoyed that so many didn’t seem to care about their Alpha King at all. Asher had stressed for years and worked hard to be a good king and they
