120 The Departure Luke

Tia and I returned to our room after we released our broadcast. I was nervous about the response.

There was outrage after five hours of broadcast. People were asking for Regans head. He still had supporters, but they werent as many as they used to be. A lot of Alphas had shifted their support to neutral. He only had three territories supporting him. Cleeve, Dome and Cape. He had lost all his supporters and territories. We could have as well just destroyed him now, but we had issued a challenge, and both parties had accepted the terms and conditions. We had no choice but to carry on. People were outraged, and we had new military volunteers, but I was not willing to take anyone, just in case the new inflow of people where from Regan. Stacys confession had done the trick, and people felt sorry for her and saw her as a strong woman. No one hated her; it only made them love her more. It was finally time to plan the trip to Neev. I was about to call for a meeting in the office when my phone rang. I answered immediately. Hello?I answered

Good morning Alpha Luke; I am Alpha Bashir Ahmed, current alpha of Neeve,he said, and I was surprised that the Alpha‘s son had succeeded him. The guy was barely twenty

How may I help you?I asked him, trying not to sound surprised

“We are uncomfortable with this fight happening in our territory. Knowing Regans reputation, we do not think he will stick to the rules. We cannot risk another war in Neev,he said, knowing that the first one was between my father and him; I understood his words, but it wasn’t in his place to deny us access. I still owned the Island regardless of his pack or territory. So, what are you trying to say?I asked him. He sighed and waited a bit before responding. We want to know if you will be coming with your troop to Neev to protect us,he asked, and I sighed. No, Bashir. It is a oneonone battle, so I will not be moving with troops to Neeve for protection.I responded, and he was silent. What if Regan does that? How will we protect ourselves? Woodclaw has not funded our military in a while. Our weapons are obsolete, and we do not have the number to withstand an

attack.he complained, and I sighed, knowing what he was asking for.

“Be rest assured it will not come to that. We trust Regan to keep his part of the deal, or else he will not be able to ascend as Alpha if he wins by cheating. The fight will be televised after all.I explained it to him, and he was silent

Alright, Alpha Luke. I will take your word for it. Remember that our safety and care are your responsibilities.He reminded me, and I told him his citizens safety is highly important. I also let him know I was partly from Neev, so I cannot hurt my people either, and that is why

I do not trust that man.” I said, and everyone agreed with me. “Who are the people officially going there?” Caleb asked, and I looked at everyone present. “Me, Caleb, father, Mike and Kirk,” I said, and Tia frowned. “What about Stacy and Me? Don‘t we deserve to follow?” She asked, and I shook my head. “You have to be here to ensure no funny business. You and the women warriors you have gathered will protect Woodclaw from invasion. His treachery might be from here and not Neev. ” I said, and she stood akimbo, annoyed at my decision. “And what

if we will be coming there with backup. I told him, no, and he tried to ask for arms to protect his residents. There is no way Regan does not know they don‘t trust him in Neeve, and knowing all the atrocities he had done there, he will be guarded. Woodclaw will be the best way to double–cross us.” I said, and Tia began to
