BLUE MOON PARK.
Arielle prepared for the first meeting of the council of elders after Treize's death she knew she had to make a lot of changes but thanks to her beta and third command she didn't have to worry much. She wore an off shoulders white blouse and a monochrome high waist skirt that hugged her hips coupled with black knee-high boots and parked up her hair and applied a little nude makeup, she didn't want to look older than her age just because she's Alpha. It was enough that she already put school on hold. The meeting was going to be held in the park house, there was a special section created for such meetings.
"Are you nervous?" Jedidiah asked.
Arielle smiled at him as they walked towards the meeting hall.
" No am not." She said.
"Well don't be, let's give those old gizzards something to gossip about" Jeremiah joked.
Arielle laughed she certainly was going to give them something to talk about. As they entered all the elders roused up and bowed before their Alpha. Arielle motioned them to seat, the council comprised of twelve elders, some close to a thousand years.
"I greet you all this would be our first meeting since I became Alpha, I and my beta have taken time to analyze the structure of the council and I have decided to make few necessary changes, it may affect some of you but those affected would be compensated accordingly." Arielle began. The elders started making comments in their minds unbest-known to them Arielle could hear their thoughts even with their mental Shields up.
"For years this council has been made up of only males that is about to change, Jeremiah took the liberty of gathering the oldest and wisest females in the park and a few of them will be joining us today" She added.
"But Arielle..."
"Alpha Arielle, you will address me as Alpha" Arielle interrupted with a warning tone.
"My apologies Alpha" elder zilch mumbled.
"But Alpha for many centuries males have presided over the council even when Treize's father was Alpha that didn't change." zilch elucidated.
"And Treize's father was known as the father of the lost, Treize the conquer of parks...every Alpha has things they change, I chose to begin my change from the council" Arielle chanted.
There was pin-drop silence in the hall they were all murmuring in their minds complaining, only a few wise men stayed quiet observing their Alpha.
"From today onward the following elders would no longer be welcomed to this council but will still retain their respects as elders...consider this a necessary retirement." Arielle continued.
"All elders except elder Caleb and Evans are hereby retired from the council, a ceremony would be preformed to honor your good work and you and your families would be the responsibility of the park as long as you are alive," Jedidiah said as he motioned the dumbfounded elders to leave the meeting hall.
As they left Jeremiah ushered in the new members of the council to enter the hall, the new members comprised of two elderly females, two elderly omega females, two elderly omega males, two youngsters omegas one male and one female, two youngster wolves male and female and finally former beta Joe. Arielle included Joe because most members of the park looked up to him and in a way, he represented the middle-aged park members. She was determined to make sure every age grade was represented and gender equality dignified.
"Congratulations to you all for becoming council members, I hope you all will take your responsibility seriously and help me lead our park to greater heights," Arielle said.
The council applauded her for her Wisdom.
"Spread the word all members of parks destroyed by Treize are welcome to join our park after passing the tests," Arielle announced.
The council was happy with her new rules blue moon park had more than enough space to accommodate them since Treize kept on expanding their territory. Three seats were empty in the meeting hall Arielle explained that those seats were for other parks that would be joining them, she was showing them her reign as Alpha would be the most Democratic.
The meeting lasted for hours because most members of the council had matters they had to present to the Alpha, issues she had to resolve and so far she had proven to be wiser than her age, all members of the council had a new kind of respect for Arielle even Joe found her deserving of the position the way she presented solutions was marvelous.
After the long hours in the meeting, Arielle finally went to her room to change into something more comfortable she wore blue sweat pants and a grey t-shirt, she wasn't exhausted funny enough she wanted to go for a walk around the park, the witches were already leaving in the park house no one questioned her about them because they felt she was Alpha and would banish them from the park but Arielle wasn't like that she was willing to answer if they dared to ask.
Arielle didn't want to see her aunt and Sarah cause they would force her to have dinner with them, they had become one large family. She snuck out unnoticed thankfully, she laughed at her silly behavior running from her two mothers. As she walked around the park fireflies surrounded her, they formed an arrow and wanted her to follow them, she got excited for some reason as she followed them. On seeing the person controlling them her heartbeat accelerated and so did his, with her wolf hearing she knew he felt the same.
"Hey, you looked stressed, if you continue like this you will get wrinkles!" Orion said as he touched her face.
"And I will look prettier than you"
"At least you're admitting that am prettier now" Arielle teased. she wasn't surprised to see him she assumed Guardians could access each other's territory.
