Chapter 86
Chapter 86
I sat there staring at Alpha Lennox.
Not in shock, but in anger.
What the hell was the council doing here? Who the hell called them? The last thing we needed were these nosey bastards getting involved. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
But I shouldn't be surprised that they were called.
Jackson's entire family thinks that I am being unreasonable in my thoughts and my actions to do with their parents.I didn't think so.
Werewolves have been executed for a lot less.
"I have solid proof that they committed treason.So I stand by my decision." I say sternly.
Not even caring that he was the head of the council.I wasn't phased by that.I didn't care.I was going to defend myself.
The only way that I knew how.
And Jackson knew that I wasn't going to back down.
Not even to the council.
"We need to see the proof.Apparently some people think that it's been fabricated." He says.
So Jackson hands him the photos and he looks through them.
"I took them myself.I was there while Elias was there.And I took photos of all the documents from the office.Which also included Gladys." I say.
"Well, the council are doing their own investigation now.So you can't execute our parents until they're done." Maverick says.
"Is there any way for the council to investigate the Hunters?" I asked.
And Alpha Lennox looked at me strangely.
"Of course not.They are not werewolves.Why do you ask?" He asked.
"Because I'm pretty sure Maverick knows that you can't investigate the Hunters.I'm just wondering if maybe there is something I missed and Maverick's name might come out if his parents are executed." I say.
"Are you saying that I'm working for the Hunters?" Maverick asked.
"I never would have imagined that your parents were.So right now, the only person I trust is Jackson." I say.
"You know, we haven't even had a Luna ceremony yet.So, technically you're not Luna." Zara snaps at me.
"She wears the mark of the Alpha.Which makes her Luna.Whether you've had the ceremony or not."
Alpha Lennox says not looking up from the photos that he had been given.And I smirked at her.
Even I knew that.
Do they really think I am that stupid? I may be young but I still know the rules of the werewolves.
There doesn't need to be a ceremony for me to be Luna.
And now! know what they really think of me.
And obviously what they think about Jackson.
"Well, I am taking these photos.We need to make sure that they are authentic and we will go from there." Alpha Lennox says.
"Okay." Jackson says.
"Alright then.Well, I'll be in touch." Lennox says.
And Jackson walked him to the door and escorted him out.
"Why don't the rest of you follow him?" I say glaring at them.
"We're not going anywhere while our parents are here." Declan Says.
"Do you really think I am stupid to kill them now while the council is involved?" I asked.
"I don't know what the hell you're capable of." He says.
And I smirked at him.
"You better remember that."
I got up and I left the room.I walked through the living room to the foyer and Jackson was just coming back inside.
But I just walked upstairs and he looked at his brothers and sisters and then he followed me upstairs.
We went to our room and Jackson shut the door while I sat on the bed.
"What are you thinking?" Jackson asked.
"Well, I know that the council will tell us to stay the hell away from the Hunters.Which is why they've been called in.If there's more evidence there then we won't be able to get it." I say.
"You really do think that Maverick knows about it." He says.
"Jackson.Don't ask me how I know, but I just know.Maverick wants to be Alpha.And he is hiding something.I can feel it." I say.
So Jackson kneeled in front of me and cupped my face in his hands.
"One thing I have learnt from you is to not underestimate your intuition.I know that it comes from your fae side.It's always too spot on to be normal intuition.So I believe you.Maverick is behind this somehow.He's involved." Jackson says.
"I don't want anything to happen to you because of them." I say.
So he leans forward and hugs me and starts stroking my hair.
"Nothing is going to happen to me because of them.I have been dealing with them my whole life.They've never gotten the better of me."He says.
And I wrapped my arm around him and buried my head into his neck.
"Listen, I never discussed it with you.I just said that I was going to execute your parents.What do you think about it?" I asked.
"Well, that's exactly what they deserve.And what they would get if they were anyone else.This is the worst type of treason.They're actually going against their own Alpha." He says.
"That's not what I asked you." I say.
"I know.It is hard because they are my parents.I know that we haven't gotten along, but they are still my parents.But Avery was your mother, and because of my parents she's dead.So, I am not weighing in on this." He says.
And I looked at him still not completely believing him.I don't know if he really wanted his parents executed or if he was just standing by my side.I can't imagine that he would do something like that though.I mean, this is the life of his parents.I know that if the roles were reversed and I wasn't happy with Jackson wanting to kill my parents, then I would definitely say something.
We all know that I would.But he wasn't.
So, maybe he wasn't that upset.
Maybe he was more pissed than I thought at the fact that his parents had hired killers to come after him.
Maybe he was still in shock at the whole situation.
That could definitely be a good explanation.
I decided that I wasn't going to do anything to his parents until he wrapped his head around everything and I couldn't anyway.
Not with the council snooping around.
Which got me wondering, why are they sticking their noses into a pack matter like this.
There's always treason and werewolves executed for crimes and they never get involved.
So why are they so involved in this one? Is it because of who Jackson was? Maybe they also wanted him out of power.
And I needed to make sure that didn't happen.
I needed to make some major changes in a very short amount of time, while the council was here snooping around.
I also needed to make it look like this was the plan all alone.
That Jackson had been planning to do this from day one.
Ever since he took over the pack and so that he wasn't seen as such a ruthless Alpha who just enjoyed killing Alpha's and taking over their packs.
I only had one main priority right now.
And that was to make sure that Jackson came out of this completely unharmed.
I wasn't going to lose him too.
I wasn't going to let anyone take him away from me.
He was mine and he was going to stay mine forever.
At dinner time Jackson and I went down to the dining room but his entire family was there so we went and sat in the kitchen to eat.
I didn't want to be anywhere near them and neither did he.
So after I finished dinner I made a coffee and I sat outside and lit a cigarette.
When I came back inside I went straight to the office and I closed the door so that no one could see what I was doing.
And I made sure that the curtains were closed.
Just in case.
I didn't want anyone seeing what I was doing.I grabbed a map and I laid it out on the coffee table and I put a pin in the location of every pack in the country that Jackson owned and I wrote a number next to each pin.
Which indicated how many members were still in that pack.
I looked at the packs that were closest together and I saw that there were only small gaps of land between those packs.
So I did a lot of work on the computer to find out who owned the land in between the packs and I wrote them down so I could call them tomorrow.
And packs that were further away from each other, I was looking for large pieces of land to put them into single packs and sell the land that they’re on.
To bring the packs together.
To make them bigger and stronger.
I knew that would definitely look better to the council.
Even if I was in the process of doing it while they were snooping around.
They would think that Jackson was doing it, even if he really doesn't want it done.
But he came into the office and caught me doing all this work anyway.
So I explained everything to him and he said that it was actually a great idea.
It would make him look better than what people already thought he was.
And I was glad that he agreed.
Because he was known as the Blood Alpha.
I didn't want people looking at him like that.
Wyatt then barged into the office and we covered what we were doing but he didn't have time for that.
"Someone was just attacked in town." Wyatt announced.
"Who was it?" I asked.
"He doesn't live in this pack.He said that he was looking for an old school friend from Richmond Pack.His name is Carter." Wyatt says.
And Jackson looked at me.
And I got up and ran for the door.
