When Odessa and I got back to Blood Oak, we went straight to the mansion.
Once there, we met a makeshift stage already set right outside the mansion and a few pack members gathered in front of it, murmuring to themselves.
Odessa and I exchanged glances, our expressions tense, before we continued moving, navigating past the crowd. They gave way for us, many bowing.
But I could feel their judgment clearer than the sun in the morning sky above.
On the stage, Layla and Marcellus were already standing waiting. They exchanged a brief glance as Odessa and I mounted the stage as well.
"Sir, the situation at Blue Ridge pack," Layla whispered from behind me as I stood in front of the podium, scanning my gaze on the pack members below.
Men, women, teenagers and even children from all walks of life, including among the elite wolves.
This wasn't everyone in the pack but it didn't matter. The whole world will be getting my message today.
