[POV: The Alpha Court, 2 months ago]
An emergency meeting was called by the Alpha Court, which was comprised of the six packs' alphas, to receive news from the scouts that had been sent to the North. The meeting was held in the Court Hall, strategically positioned in the middle of the territories to avoid dispute.
Head of the Alpha Court, Tyrien Rasse, was seated at the head of the large table. He was a tall, commanding man with short, salt-and-pepper hair and blue eyes. He was the Alpha of the largest, most influential pack, the Sorvind Pack.
The other five Alphas were also seated at the table, and the three returned scouts were standing nervously at the end, pale enough to pass as ghosts.
"Don't just stand there," Tyrien commanded, his voice loud and authoritative. "Speak."
Of the three scouts, only one was brave enough to speak, but his voice was thin and anxious even then. "The Hollow King has returned."
