Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 168

Chapter 168

| made my voice quiver, and | did my best to pretend to be scared. "Please Alpha, | know you were just following

orders. Tell the truth, | don't want you to die."

Vince sighed in relief, and Rowan nearly lost it. His eyes showed the smile he was desperately trying to hide.

"Well Alpha Vince?" Rowan stepped closer to the other man and be towered over Vince.

"Alpha Rowan-"

"King Rowan." Someone that sounded a lot like Nina called out, earning a smile from the king.

Vince stammered and then corrected himself. "King Rowan | am stuck between a rock and a hard place."

"Explain." Rowan pulled up a chair from where they were off to the side of the podium. He positioned it facing

Vince and then sat, crossing his arms.

"What?" Vince froze.

"Explain. You said you were trapped between a rock and a hard place. | want you to explain it to me."

Vince's mouth dropped open, and the three men started to fidget. Rowan raised a hand and motioned for Vince

to start his explanation. "What? | mean, obviously, how can | go against you, my king?"

"So you remember | am your king?" Rowan's voice boomed through the room, causing everyone to wince. "You

remember | rule over you, not because | was appointed, but because | was chosen by the goddess. The last of

the Lycans,"

Vince dropped to his knees and bowed. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Vince was playing his part well, but | noticed he was darting his eyes to the council, and | watched their reaction.

One was shaking his head.

| leaned over and whispered something to Hanna. She pulled away and nodded. "My king, it seems the alpha has

divided his loyalty between you and the council."

Rowan looked back to the council members and growled, dropping them to their knees. "I will remind you,

Vincent, one last time, that the council functions as a gamma and beta does for an alpha. They only have power

that | allow them to have, and from now on, that is going to be zero." Another gasp went through the crowd. The

Vince bowed again. “I'm a fool. The council has been throwing their weight around to all the packs." The crowd

erupted, but Rowan raised his hands.

"Continue."

"They have been using the attacks as leverage to getting the alphas to agree to their demands."

| poked Wendy, who was sitting in front of me, and whispered in her ear. "Your pack hasn't been attacked,

| covered my face as Vince looked at whoever called out. "That's true, but we are a big pack."

Someone scoffed "Oakenfang is a medium-sized pack, and the biggest pack now, Silvermoon, has been attacked

"Enough?" Rowan leaned in.

"He's lying." One of the council members tried to start, but Rowan silenced him with a raised hand.

"I will deal with you later." Rowan glared at the member, who just nodded. "Enough of what?"

"A threat. They have been houndingfor the last week. When this decision was made by the alphas. They said

that too many spots were taken by unranked wolves and if we were going to keep all of them here, then we

should send the unworthy home."

Rowan stood. "The unworthy?" His voice was deathly low, and his eyes had fully shifted. Grey fur, almost black,

sprouted from his arms. "The unworthy?" He screamed. “ranked wolves are the very essence of our packs. They

very wolves we, as alphas, were created to protect. They are the reason ranks even exist and yet you deem

them unworthy?

"I, 1, 1, 1." He stammered over and over, but Rowan was livid.

"You are nothing without your pack. If all your unranked wolves left, you would lose your pack ranking and you

would be branded as a lone wolf." Vince paled. "If you don't fucking understand that, and appreciate that fact,

then | will ship your pack out and let you roam."

"Please, my King." Vince begged, but someone stood up from the crowd.

"What did he mean by keeping us here?" He called out.

Rowan stood and made his way to the podium, growling until Vince moved out of the way. "Obviously, this isn't

how we planned this announcement to cout. But since the attacks have amped up, your families have

agreed that instead of running two semesters and giving you the simmer off with breaks over yule and easter,

that we would change it. "

"To?" the sman asked.

"Full year round class until your degrees are done." The silence that followed was heavy.
