Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

We were back in the council building. Amie stood beside me and we both waited. For what, we didn’t know. On the other

end of the waiting area, stood my brother and his Beta. Every now and then, my brother locked eyes with me.

‘Don’t let him get to you,’ Amie mindlinked me. I looked away from my brother.

‘He is up to something,’ I told her.

‘Of course he is. He wouldn’t have brought this to the council unless he thought he had something to tip the council in

his favour. There is no use trying to figure it out while staring at him. We will know soon enough,’ she told me. She was

right. But I still shot my brother a sideway glare. Just so he would know, I knew. ‘Honestly. It’s like you are five,’ she

added when she saw it. But there was amusement in her mindlink. The door to the council room opened and we were

asked to enter. This was not the room with the long conference table. Instead, the council was sitting on a raised platform

which was slightly curved, all in one row facing us. Amie and I were shown to a pulpit to the right, my brother and his

Beta were shown to a pulpit to the left. Behind each of us, two of the council warriors stood.

“Thank you for heading our summons. Alpha Ryan from the Ocean Shore pack has made a request for the council to

force the Blue Mountain pack to merge with them as it has its origins in their pack. We will hear from Alpha Ryan why

this request has been made. Then we will let Alpha Finlay respond to the request. The council will have the right to ask

questions of both Alphas and their Betas until we feel we have the information needed to make a decision. Do any of you

have questions regarding the procedure?” the head of the council asked. All of us remained silent. “Good, good. Then,

please, Alpha Ryan. Tell us why you have filed the request.”

“Thank you. I want to start by thanking the council for taking my concerns seriously. About eight years ago, my father,

Alpha Johannes, was killed defending the pack from a rouge attack. The alpha position went to me as his oldest son. My
