"Father…", James called cautiously. "Should we return home right away? Now that Marcy is leaving, Alpha Damon might turn hostile."
Alpha Edward thought for a moment before answering, "As long as Alpha Damon doesn't ask you to leave, stick to the current schedule. Stay there as long as circumstances allow, and keep me posted.", Alpha Edward ordered. "Do you understand?"
"Yes, father.", James responded. How could he not understand? His father wanted him to act as a spy. "What about Nora?"
Alpha Edward didn't want to think about her. "Alpha Damon will let her out eventually. Don't provoke him by asking about her."
With that, Alpha Edward ended the call and hissed, "Damn it! That boy is useless!"
"Maybe Commander George knows more.", Beta Raymond reminded Alpha Edward that someone else was there. "James is young, and they probably kept him out of the loop on purpose."
Alpha Edward thought how that made sense. He kept James on the side for many things partially because he was keeping secrets, and partially because James was still too young.
Alpha Edward called George next. To his irritation, George told him the same story as James which only reinforced Alpha Edward's opinion that Marcy tricked them all because James was too timid, and George was too loyal, so it must be Marcy.
Alpha Edward tried calling Alpha Damon, but the line was busy, and it went to voicemail. "That bastard is avoiding me!"
Nothing went his way, and his anger surged when he remembered that his wife went to meet with a tailor to make a dress for Marcy's Luna ceremony. "Layla! Get back home! We have an emergency!"
"You mean, Marcy's statement how she wants to travel?", Luna Layla asked lightly.
"So, you know. You are coming home, right?"
"I'm almost done with fitting.", she grumbled. "Besides, do you need me? Don't you always handle those things without my involvement? Make Marcy apologize. She can say that she was drunk or joking and things will be back on track."
Alpha Edward ended the call abruptly. Everyone was useless!

While Alpha Edward was raging, Beta Raymond got hold of Caden. "Alpha Damon's Beta says that their lines are busy with calls from reporters and many others who wanted to get the insider's info. It might take days before Alpha Damon starts answering regular calls."
Alpha Edward cursed under his breath.
"When I get my hands on Marcy, I will make her wish she was never born!", Alpha Edward shouted while throwing the pencil holder, the phone, and a few other items across the study.
"Pardon me for speaking freely, Alpha. But I believe that Marcy is not smart to do this on her own.", Beta Raymond said solemnly.
Alpha Edward turned to look at him in slow motion. "Are you saying that James and George lied?" Everyone was a suspect. Ah, if Nora was not in the dungeon, he would get Nora's side of the story.
"I don't know about them, but that is the territory of the Dark Howlers pack. Someone from there knew what was going on, otherwise, the reporter wouldn't dare to be at the packhouse. We heard it from Marcy's speech, Alpha Damon was supportive, and she didn't seem to be forced to say those things. Marcy is timid and easily swayed, but she is not stupid."
Alpha Edward rubbed his face forcibly. "Speak, Ray. Don't make me guess what you are thinking."
"I believe that Alpha Damon gave Marcy something that was worth more than the position of his Luna."
Alpha Edward grit his teeth while thinking about Raymond's words. It made sense. He was so consumed in his rage, that he neglected the obvious.
"Alpha Damon didn't want to make Marcy his Luna when he was here, and he invited her there only so that he can continue the game on his own territory. He used something to persuade Marcy to cooperate, and they made a fool out of me.", Alpha Edward said solemnly before turning to his Beta. "I won't allow them to get away with this! Summon the Council of Alphas. I want a meeting as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, at dawn."
Beta Raymond's eyes widened in shock. "The Council of Alphas? There was no meeting in more than a decade. That's only for emergencies." And not just any emergency, but the epic ones where the society of werewolves is at risk.
The glare Alpha Edward gave him made Raymond's knees shake and he quickly bowed his head. "I will start the process."
The Council of Alphas consists of all active Alphas in North America, and the last time they met was when the Dark Howlers pack lost their Alpha, Luna, and Beta on the same day, and they were left with an underage heir (aka Damon).
At that time, Alpha Edward and a few others wanted to vote on dividing the territory of the Dark Howlers pack so that they can assist Damon until he becomes of age and proves himself. Of course, he wouldn't get his power back, but the plan didn't work out when Alphas started bickering about who will get how much of Damon's current territory. In the end, Alphas voted that they won't interfere in Damon's ruling as the Alpha of the Dark Howlers pack. It appeared magnanimous, but the truth was that Alphas were confident that young Damon will mess up and they will get their chance to step in, believing it was easier to take a piece of land from an inexperienced youngster than from a seasoned Alpha. Damon proved them wrong.
However, Alpha Edward was confident that this time will be different.
Over the years, more and more Alphas were unsettled by the growth of the Dark Howlers pack. Damon's territory didn't expand much, but the numbers and strength did.
The Dark Howlers pack is the only pack that can operate independently from other packs; they have a strong military and economy, and they are also involved in many dealings with humans because Damon is sponsoring promising youngsters to attend human schools which allows them to establish connections that no other pack has. But what makes them the most dangerous is their unity.
When looking at Damon's reputation as a troublemaker, fighter, or a ladies' man, it's difficult to see him as a competent Alpha, but the truth is that members of the Dark Howlers pack believe in Alpha Damon and follow him willingly, and the good conditions his pack offers are making others migrate or seek refuge there.
Many other Alphas fear that it's only a matter of time before the Dark Howlers pack absorbs their members completely. No one can be an Alpha without a pack.
For this meeting with the Council of Alphas, Alpha Edward will make a case that Alpha Damon forced Marcy to leave, which is an abuse of his position and disrespect to the Red Moon pack, and he was confident he will have the necessary votes to sanction the Dark Howlers pack.
Alpha Edward didn't have a solid story yet, but by the time of the meeting, he will fine-tune it and make it sound believable enough so that others can vote in his favor without feeling guilty about it.
