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

Finlay had passed the word to me and I would do my best to shove the smirk on Alpha Ryan’s face down his throat. He

had insulted Finlay, he had said our pack was weak and he had questioned my place as Beta. All with a smirk like this was

a done victory for him. He would choke on his own smirk when I was done with him. I couldn’t physically hurt him like my wolf wanted me to, but I could use my words.

“Council, my full name is Armeria Rose Winstone Sage. I am the daughter of Ron Winstone, former Beta of the Eagle

Forest pack. My brother is their current Beta. My father raised me and my brother both to take part in his, as well as the

Alpha’s and the Gamma’s duties. I was a lone wolf from my eighteenth birthday until I joined my pack four years later. I

survived on my own. Alpha Finlay found me and offered me a place in his pack. I was serving as an advisor to the top tier

due to my training and worked closely with Beta Martin. When he was killed, I took the role of Beta. I am more than

qualified for the position and I am humbled I was asked and that I get to serve my pack in this way. May I add some

points in response to the request from Alpha Ryan?” I asked the council.

“Former Beta Ron is your father?” a council member asked. I had skipped that part during our emergency meeting a

couple of times earlier.

“Yes,” I said.

“The council knows him well. He has always been a good and sensible Beta,” the same member said. I inclined my head.

“We have no objection to you adding to the response of your pack,” the head of the council told me.

“Thank you. Alpha Ryan states the attack on our pack as the root of his concern. What he fails to take note of is that we won. We did not just drive away the attack from a middle ranking pack. No, they were annihilated by us. We lost three members, and they are missed each day. But they paid by having their Alpha killed by Alpha Finlay and their pack being

dissolved. There is no longer a pack by that name, there is no pack land who holds its members. The few members who

survived were spared by our pack. That should show you how stable and secure our pack is. They had it in them to show mercy. It is a commonly known fact a pack is a reflection of their Alpha. Alpha Finlay has built our pack to be strong when

needed and compassionate when possible. If Alpha Ryan claimed that losing our Beta is a sign of weakness, I would

question what it says about his pack as his father, the Alpha, was killed in a rogue attack. Should we draw the same

conclusion? Our pack has also grown, as my Alpha told you. Several of our members, including me, have no relationship

with Alpha Ryan’s pack. What will happen to us? Will you just force the original members of the Ocean Shore to reunite?”

I asked. The silence in the room lasted a moment. Finlay’s brother didn’t look as smug and I was happy about it.

‘You are amazing. If we weren’t in the council chamber, I would fucking kiss you,’ Finlay mindlinked me. I felt myself
