Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-77. Ezra’s strength

[Raven]

"Ciao, Alpha Raven. It's been a while," Draknor, our beta, greeted me with a smile, making his icy gaze feel colder.

I just stared back, not bothering to return the fake pleasantries.

"It's so rare to see you around here. I thought you abhorred this place," Draknor said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Tsk!

This man just... pisses me off.

"Trust me, Draknor, you don't have to force small talk with me. I'm sure, just like me, you must have better things to do," I replied, crossing my legs and leaning back, daring him to challenge me.

A vein popped out across Draknor's forehead. His sardonic smile twitched.

"Che tu possa avere la peggior fortuna e morire, mio signore! (May you have the worst luck and die, my lord!)" he said with a bow and strode to his seat, chatting with Kyrell, our gamma.

I let out a frustrated sigh, looking at the high arched ceiling that seemed to have merged with infinite darkness. Large gothic chandeliers levitating in mid-air cast a cold, blood reddish glow over the central empty and circular dais.

Dais was the raised platform in the middle of the circular hall, surrounded by rows of seats that were arranged in a semicircle in tiers around the dais. The tiers started from the ground and reached up to the balconies on the first floor. The hall was ostentatiously spacious with seats carved out of black wood. The seats were lustrous enough to reflect the lights from the chandeliers hovering above them.

I sat in the row closest to the dais with Nyssa.

"What did he say? His tone was so off. This man creeps me out," Nyssa whispered from her seat beside me.

"Who cares? He probably cursed the hell outta me and had a great time doing it in a language I don't understand." I shrugged, folding my arms across my chest.

Draknor was extremely protective of Asher, so obviously, he hated me. He despised taking orders from me and made his displeasure very clear. But Asher ordered the Alpha committee and the council to treat and respect the triplet alphas equally, and Draknor could never defy his dear Alpha Asher. So he treated me as professionally as he could. At least, he tried.

But he didn't bother me at all. Not as much as this meeting did.

After dropping Xanthea at Helxton, I received the summon crow, and it was only then I realized the disaster one anonymous news had created in the digital world.

I thought as usual Asher would handle it, but when I got here, I came to know that Ezra was going to handle his case on his own. Ever since I have had this nagging feeling in the back of my mind, this digital disaster was going to snowball its way into a digital avalanche.

It's not like I didn't trust Ezra's abilities. But it was very easy to trigger him and he often made impulsive decisions.

I glared at Viella, who was talking with the elders. Unfortunately, that woman knew most of Ezra's weakness and triggers and she was going to use it against him.

I skimmed my eyes across the Council Hall of Sinx. Sinx was the parliament of the Underworld. Or should I just call it Asher's playground?

Asher spent most of his time dictating, deciding and discussing the future of every evil and individual in our Prime pack with his Alpha committee and the Elder council.

Sinx was divided into four main buildings: the Parliament Palace, the Committee Hall, the Council Hall and the Court. There were other minor buildings and branches in Sinx as well.

The Parliament Palace and the Court were the big deals and were associated with all the major decision making for the entire Prime Infernal pack.

The Council Hall was for the elders.

And the Committee Hall was for the Alpha Committee that constituted of the alpha, the beta, gamma and so on. Mainly associated with the pack and Infernal realm security and military decisions.

The elders sat in rows behind us, their faces hidden behind the dark hoods of their robes.

The High Elder's seat was in the largest balcony of the first floor. The High Elder represented all the elders' voices and was also the speaker of the council.

The special jury created for the Luna selection sat on the upper balcony, their presence hidden in the shadows.

It was because of their fear, Nyssa pulled me here even before the meeting began. She wanted to look punctual and have a good impression on them. As funny as it may sound, it was because of these futile efforts she was the top luna candidate.

And since none of us knew what criterions the jury was judging the Luna candidates on, she had to be careful about maintaining her overall reputation.

As long as she was beating Viella, I didn't care what she did.

Nyssa sniffed uncomfortably.

Frowning, I looked at her.

"Stop complaining. You're the one who insisted we come early," I said.

Nyssa looked away sulkily.
