Marinara joined her husband at the meeting of the pack.
As it turned out, they need Jayden to be initiated as soon as possible.
He needed to start his training, he has spent too many days with his mother, it is time to come to where he truely belongs.
"When are we going to be blessed to see the next Alpha? One of the elders of the Demini pack asked.
"Soonest". Arthur replied, not wanting to explain further, he also didn't want to have to go back there, since Marinara isn't happy about the last one.
He knew the stress he had to go through, before she forgave him, and believed that nothing went on between them, going back there again, may not go so well.
He had promised her, that he would avoid Mogana as much as possible, unless he doesn't have choice.
"But how do we know this son, borne by a witch is the one spoken of? Another elder asked, while another shut him up.
"We have already talked about this before, all this unnecessary question, will only lead to nothing.
The sorcerer also said it, that he is the one spoken of".
"But why is he still in the enemies den.
Even if there was a mistake made in the past, which have produced a son, it doesn't change the fact that the witches are still our enemies, they sold us out to our enemies, and are the reasons, we lost many of our fine warriors, while they magically transported themselves to safety".
"I even heard that he is In love with a human too, which means, history is about to repeat itself". Another added, and so, loud chaos, could be heard around.
"There is really no need for this argument, we have heard from the wise sorcerer, he said that this is one way, the Goddess is trying to unite everything".
Another said, raising his voice high, to calm the noise, but he was quickly shut down.
"That is what he said, we didn't hear from the moon goddess ourselves, how then do we know, he didn't just say, what he feels will be pleasing to the king".
"Are you saying the king, paid the sorcerer to say things in his favour? The other asked him, but before he could reply, King Arthur angrily punched the wall in his palace, making a hole on it, with the shape of his fist.
They seem to have suddenly forgotten in whose present they are.
When they were all quiet, he took his time, to stare into each person's eyes, which is his usual style, before he ever starts with a speech.
"My people, I am still your Alpha, and I demand, that you show me that respect.
My cabinet is made up of old and wise wolves, and very experienced.
You all know Mogana, and how we used to be, before their banishment.
She left with my child, and now that I have him back, he already understands, what he is supposed to do.
I have told you that he will be here soonest, I expect that you all await his coming, like I have said, there is no rush". But his authority, seem not to be standing this time, as he hadn't even landed, before another spoke up.
"There is rush, for we have been threatened for too long by our enemy pack, and if they come for us now, we won't be able to defeat them, if Jayden is the man spoken off by the moon goddess, then he needs to be trained, and prepared, so that, the enemies, don't take advantage of our weakness against us".
"I am not weak, I am still the strongest of all". Arthur reminds them, but then, the murmuring didn't stop, instead, it increased, which kind of annoyed him in a way.
"We want to see him by the next Star gathering, he should be there, at the field, let us see what we are banking on". The oldest amongst them said, and without waiting for him to speak, he got up to leave, but that will be a slight on Arthur, so he only needed to look at his guard, who immediately shape change and attacked him, on his way out, dragging him back to the meeting by the neck.
"Don't you ever, walk out on me, while I am still talking! Arthur says, and they all bowed their head in respect.
Truely they should respect him, he is still the Alpha after all.
After a long silence, with no one daring to speak up again, for fear, that they might. be attacked.
Arthur is a great king, but his anger, usually come with great destruction of some kind.
Your action right now, shows Mutiny and I will not hesitate to Mutilate your body, or any other person's body, with my lawn and pawn if that will be enough, to remind you all, that I am still king Arthur.
I defeated the Black Moon pack once and all their native magic, and I can do that again, to save you all from the forth coming full moon, with or without my son, but like I have said, You will all see him, and he will be everything you hope for". He bowed in his usual way to show that he was done talking, and walked out.
obviously he feels hurt, that his cabinet members have doubt about him.
When it was clear that he was out of sight, Marinara, clears her throat to get their attention.
They thought she wanted to smooth talk things, which is her usual way, she knows how to calm situations, but this time, seemed different, because when they looked into her eyes, it was obvious, that she was angry.
"You have all insulted my husband, your king in different ways, and we have said nothing. I have said nothing, but from henceforth, anymore insult, will have to feel my wrath! She was obviously very angry, as she followed the direction of her husband, leaving them to quarrel within themselves.
"It was your fault". One said, pointing to the wounded man.
You could have said all you needed to say to him, but walking out on him was so not cool". He added, while the wounded one nodded in agreement, he probably shouldn't have behaved that way, he realized his mistake a little too late.
Luther kept watching the entire Drama, until they all started leaving one after the other, but the wounded man remained.
When all have left, Luther asked him.
"Why are you still here?
He looked up at him with his sick tired face.
"I want to apologize to him". He managed to say, but Luther nodded as to say no, before speaking.
"That is not necessary, I will let him know you stayed back, just go". Luther watch him struggle to get up.
His healing is beginning to take time, because he is probably getting old, but that should not be the case, it should be the other way around, Luther helped me get outside, when he was sure, he could walk on his own, he left him, and turned back.
He needed to see Arthur, maybe they would have to visit Mogana again.
That is probably what she wants
