Chapter 129
Chapter 129:
They were a rare species that began existing on earth only a thousand years ago. When they were newly discovered, their kind was killed off as much as possible. They went into extinction, but they kept reproducing and, over the years, kept coming back.
They were dangerous to the wolves. Very dangerous.
The elders decided to pass a notice to every other pack, telling them to put more security measures in place. If most of the Feeders were killed, perhaps it would stop the others from bothering us for now.
These were the kinds of situations the Alpha King handled. Now, more than ever, the wolves needed one.
When we finished the discussion of the Feeders, they brought it up to me. “The second trial is a week from now, Alpha Jaris,” Luca said with a smile. “You were amazing on the first trial. I have no doubt you’ll do just fine on this one.” I simply nodded. “Looking forward to it, Luca p>
Now more than ever, I needed to win this position. With the Feeders back, and my brother, the throne needed someone like me on it—someone who knew very much about them.
I couldn’t help but be grateful that Zarek’s stupid ploy had pushed me into the game.
During the entire discussion, I never disclosed any information about my brother. Everyone believed he was dead—I made sure of that.
They all knew how dangerous he was. If they knew he was back and likely controlling the Feeders… it wouldn’t end well.
The meeting was already drawing to an end when she walked in. Selestia.
Everyone looked at her in surprise as she made her way in, her eyes on me.
“Selestia? Do you need something?” one of the elders asked.
She wasn’t supposed to be here. Usually, her place was in her small cottage where she preferred living.
Selestia was a seventy-five-year-old woman who barely looked fifty. She was the pack’s seer. Although, with age, her sight seemed to be getting limited.
But when she was young, she used to be pretty good.
“Alpha Jaris,” she stopped in front of me, her hands on her thighs.
She was wearing a long green dress that covered her feet, her hair stylishly wrapped in a scarf, two big earrings on her ears. Selestia was, no doubt, very hot and beautiful when she was young. It could still be seen even in her old age.
She kept both hands on her thighs as she looked at me.
“When will you tell them the truth p>
JARIS
I arched my brows at her but didn’t say a word.
“You know there’s something you’re keeping from everyone. I may not really know what it is, but I can smell it around you—fishy.” She sniffed the air. “There is something fishy about you. I have always been able to tell each time I laid eyes on you. And you know if you sit on that throne”—she pointed at the empty throne on top of the stage—”there will be chaos p>
