Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 92

AMBER.

Last night had been amazing. The bond between us felt strong. We both felt stronger as a result. We headed off to meet the others for breakfast. Reaching the restaurant, we were greeted cheerily by Becky. I noticed the mark on her neck and gave her a smile. She looked pointedly at mine, smiling back. She and Joe had clearly not wasted any time.

We took our seats at the table and said our hellos. Ellie gave us both a hug before getting a pot of coffee and setting it on the table. Peter and Joe emerged from the kitchen with platters of food. My mouth was watering at the smell. I looked around the table and felt blessed. Right now, at this moment in time, everything felt good. I touched my necklace and thought of Mary. I hoped that she would be proud of me.

Once we had eaten, we turned the conversation to pack matters. We talked about the ideas we had. Adam had picked up a few things from his short stay at Night Forest. I told everyone that the Alpha house would no longer be the Alpha house but would be the Pack house as it was before the Stones had taken charge. I was happy in Bluebell cottage, and I didn’t want to move. Adam and I gad discussed it last night. He told Joe and Becky that he was giving Kingfisher cottage to them, should they want it. They thanked him, gratefully accepting it.

My grandparents were going to continue staying in the pack house and oversee the revamp. Adam told us that he would like to move Sam out of the guard hut and give him a position at the head of the warriors to work alongside Dean. He wanted guard duty to be issued on a rota basis instead. Dean was happy with his ideas and agreed. He told us that he had suggested something similar to Jason many times but had always been ignored.

We were starting to wind down the meeting when I felt my body go rigid and a voice entered my mind as clearly as if it was from in the same room. I heard Council leader Michaels voice “Luna Morris, I hope you are well and that I am not interrupting. You may be wondering how I am able to mind the link with you, especially from so far away. It is due to us both being Silver Wolves. Anyway, let me get to the reason for my communication. Several members of the Lakeside pack have been summoned to the citadel. You are needed for the trials of David Stone, Jason Stone, Tanya Bale, Kim Bale, and Gareth Baxter. Please have the following people go to the airfield 20 minutes from Lakeside in one hour. Where a plane will be waiting to transport you all here. Alpha and Luna Morris, Becky Morris, Peter and Ellie Morris, Former Alpha and Luna Andrews, Delta Stone may also attend should he wish due to it being his family on trial. I look forward to seeing you soon.” The voice was gone, and I was back in the room rather than in my own mind. I relayed the message to the others, and we got up to get ready.

We took a couple of cars from the Alpha garage. These cars would now be for pack use, not just the Alphas personal possessions. We set out, leaving Joe and Dean in charge. Dean had decided not to come. He didn’t want to hear every detail of the terrible things that his father and brother had done. He had washed his hands with them both. As we were leaving Lakeside, we saw Sam heading away from the guard hut. Adam had told him about his new position right after the meeting. He gave us a happy wave, which we returned.

Arriving at the airfield, we were shown to a private plane parked on a runway. We boarded and buckled our seats. This was so fancy, I’d never even dreamed of ever flying in a private plane. The cream leather seats were comfy and felt so luxurious. I found myself hoping that it was a long flight so that I could enjoy the experience.

We touched down a little while later, and there were big fancy cars waiting to take us the rest of the way. After a short drive, we pulled up at huge, ornate gates. Guards approached the cars from both sides and checked them over before allowing us through. We drove up a long driveway until we reached a beautiful, old mansion. There was ivy shaking up the outside and stained glass in the windows on either side of the heavy looking wooden door.

It swung slowly open as we walked towards it, not even waiting for us to knock. A tall, serious looking man in a dark grey suit was waiting just inside. He told us to follow him. I was in awe of the beauty that was this house. The walls were adorned with wonderful paintings depicting all kinds of supernatural beings. The walls were cream with golden detailing. The floors were polished wood. If I had to guess I’d say oak.

We followed the man to a big double door. He pushed it open to reveal another beautiful room. This one was forest green and white. There was a big curved table at one end with fancy looking chairs around it and one lonely chair in front. There was a row of uncomfortable looking metal chairs that ran along the side of the room. The rest of the room had rows of seats facing the curved table. This room had stained glass windows, too. They were stunning. Light streamed through them, causing colours to dance around the room. The tall man turned on the overhead lights and pulled thick, heavy, green curtains closed over the windows. He asked us to rake a seat among the rows. We all sat down, and I was glad that we weren’t the ones in the metal chairs.
