Chapter 105: Why is Her Fur White? 

Ethan 

Lv 1 

I had known Lynus since the end of war. He had been much younger when we met for the first time, of course, shortly after he was elected by the people of the Isles to repre sent them on the newly formed council of the High Elders. He 

was fifteen years older than me but was the youngest among the “Elders.” He’d been a strong man in his early forties when 

he was elected, but that was almost twenty–seven years ago 

now. 

Lynus was stepping down from his council seat, which was meant to be a life–long position, to be Troy’s advisor. The council was not only losing Lynus, who had been a longtime voice of reason among the other elders, but also the High Priestess, who my wife had sniffed out as a traitor to not only Valoria, but the pack lands in general. 

What a mess. 

“An election for the council seat will be held in a year at the most, after the regional elections end. Likely, three candi dates will be running for the council seat; one from Papeno, one from Avondale, and one from Suntra.” Lynus was sitting straight as a rod on the couch across from me in the modest sized office that was used by the Alpha of Drogomor for offi 

cial business. 

Ernest had recently packed away his things, but Rowan had yet to move into the space. The room was bare, save for the couches and books Ernest was leaving behind on the ceil ing height bookshelves. A fire was crackling in the wide hearth next to us, the sound of the logs snapping and sizzling breaking up the moments of tension–filled silence that passed between the small group of men congregated in the 

space. 

――――――― 

Me, Lynus, Alpha Eugene of Red Lakes, and Captain Keaton, the new Beta of Poldesse. 

Keaton was glaring at me like usual, his issue with authori ty etched into his face. He only trusted Troy, his mate Myla, and his own reflection in the mirror, but I currently needed him. I had just spent the better part of an hour explaining the Tasia situation to Eugene and Lynus. Keaton was one of the few people currently in the castle who had been there to wit ness not only the journey to find one half of the moonstone, but also the fall of Dianny. 

“You’ll be acting as both Troy’s advisor and the High Elder of the Isles in the meantime,” I breathed, settling back against the couch. “I’ll need you to help explain the situation in full to the council when the time comes, especially in terms of the Priestess situation.” 

“I understand. I have no problem with that,” Lynus an swered, nodding as he broke my gaze and turned his attention

to the fire for a moment, the silence that settled between us broken by the soft sound of the piano being played in the li brary down the hall. 

“Who is the High Priestess of the Church, now that that high and mighty Gracie broad is on the run?” Eugene asked. Despite everything I had just told him, Eugene seemed totally and completely relaxed. He was sipping a glass of wine, his legs crossed, with a rosy glow to his cheeks. 

“A woman named Tempest. She’s younger, I was told. But she has taken issue with the corruption within the Church for many years. I believe she will push for change in a way that’s beneficial for the pack lands,” Lynus replied. 

“And what’s her runner–up’s name? Chastity?” Eugene snorted with mirth, the reply eliciting a soft, secret smile from Keaton. 

“Those aren’t their given names. But yes, I believe Chastity is the runner up.” I couldn’t help but smile at myself. I enjoyed Eugene’s company. He was a strange man, but he was honest and forthright. I’d never known him to not speak his mind, re gardless of the company or situation. 

“It’s Keaton’s role as Beta to help oversee the election in the Isles, unbiased, of course,” Lynus motioned toward
