kept drifting.

The hall was filled with tension and uncase. Alphas, Lycan and Elders filled up the hall, their voices echoing loudly as every attempt at a normal conversation with them kept turning into full–blown arguments.

Not only that, I could sense the tension seeping out of everyone in the hall except Nathan who sat there motionless not saying or doing anything. In the last few days, we’ve recorded Feral attacks in almost all the packs in the Southern and Eastern regions.

Our warriors were tired, the people lived in fear… everyone was agitated but my mind was elsewhere – on Lyla. It’s been a week and a few days since we pulled her out of the White Lake and she’s been unconscious. Images of her, pale and motionless filled my thoughts. Despite all the attempts by the High Priestess, she was still trapped in her sleep.

I sat at the head of the table; my fingers interlocked as I tried to maintain an air of authority. Clearing my throat, I tried to call on the attention of everyone in the hall.

“I know there’s fear in the people that’s why I’ve gathered us here today because we need to…”

“Even coming here is dangerous. Lycan Leader, One of the Alphas in the region sighed. “The road is littered these days with a lot of Feral attacks. There are so many means we could hold our meetings starting from this moment without leaving our packs.”

“I understand,” I nodded sighing “But we can’t keep hiding in our packs, doing the same thing we’ve been doing all the time. First, I’ve invited the Alpha of the Golden Gates Pack to speak to us by the recommendation of the High Priestess. There is a reason why Golden Gates Pack is yet to experience any attack.”

“They have a lot of Sigma wolves there coupled plus the Moon Temple present in the pack. The Moon Goddess is playing favourites now, how cliché, Alpha Calder scoffed.

“Far from it,” a burly Alpha with long hair suddenly spoke, his voice filling the hall with warmth. “That’s because we’ve been training for this all our life. Every child born in Golden Gates is trained to defend themselves against Feral attacks. We simply put this into practice without going through the hassle of depending on our warriors.”

“Well, isn’t it too late for us to start teaching our Pack? One Alpha hissed. “We cannot continue to lose packs to these Ferals attacks!” he thundered, slamming his fists on the tables. “Two smaller packs were destroyed by their attack three nights ago. They’re spreading, moving away from the packs by the borders of the sea and are moving closer to our core lands. If there’s anything you know, perhaps sharing it with us would do us good.”

Nathan nodded agreeing with him. “While the Moonsinger was still in our pack, all the times we had a Feral attack, they seemed to be growing more docile and wearier with each attack. The first time they were vicious, the second time, they were scared and just kept circling at our borders without approaching and the third time, they ran away by the time our warriors approached them. That was why we sent a few

Golden Gates Alpha nodded. “All the Alphas of our packs have taught us from time to never fight a Feral without a Moonsinger. We have to wait until she comes to us.
