Lycian's POV
It's been three days. Three days since I've seen Love. Being so far away is taking its toll on me.
I don't know how long I can keep up with this.
Right now, I was about to enter the Northern Community's meeting. This can either go well and stop the war that has been going on within the parameters of my pack's borders or this can make matters worse.
"Come on in alpha Lucian" gestured alpha Phoenix. Alpha phoenix was an old alpha of the Flame wind pack and after retiring and passing the alpha duties decided to form this community.
The northern community has certain sets of rules which every pack in the north has to follow. Each pack can have a representative in the northern community if they are one of the major packs.
6 packs are certified to be in the northern community out of the 38 packs in the north.
The certifying packs are Blood Moon pack, Flame wind pack, Shadow pack, Mystic shadow pack, Crimson pack, and lastly Silver moon pack.
My grandfather was supposed to hold a place but due to the curse, his position was left empty. Then was my father who is right now incapable of running this place without his mate which leaves me as the next member after I pass over my title to my kid.
Nodding at alpha Phoenix, I make my way to my place in the community. As I'm supposed to take my position in the community, I have a special place next to the representatives whom we call elders.
"Alpha Amaruq, we meet here to discuss the consequences of your actions" Alpha Adoff talk yelled. He was the elder from the Red moon pack, he is from the love pack that's why he is aggressive about the situation.
"I will destroy your pack Amaruq" I shouted, not wanting to hold up my emotions.
"I suppose Alpha Lucian forgot the protocols" smirked Amaruq.
"And any passing minutes I'm going to forget the peace agreement that I signed" I countered.
"Alpha Lucian please let us sort the matters" elder Adoff spoke and I reluctantly nodded. There was nothing more I wanted in the world other than to rip Amaruq's head off but I need to respect the elders, especially elder Adoff.
"Alpha Amaruq, with the disintegration of Northern Community's rules, you are on the verge of losing your position." Announced alpha Dakota, an elder from the shadow pack.
"As if I didn't think this through Alpha" hissed Amaruq. "I know what this committee does. I know it privileges the ones in power. The powerful keep on getting more power and us" he turned to the other Alphas sitting beside him "We alphas from the supposedly small packs stay alphas of small packs."
"This community provides more safety to the smaller packs than anybody else. Imagine if I let Silver moon pack attack yours. Will you survive?" Questioned alpha Zylo, an elder from the mystic shadow pack. He is one of the most sorted Alphas.
"But we don't want safety, we want power" a few heads from behind him nod, agreeing with the greed of power.
I bite my tongue and form fists to stop myself from tearing that Amaruq from his flesh.
"Just fucking tell me where my Luna is" I shout, fed up with the conversation. Everyone's attention turns back to me and they stare at me with wide eyes.
"Alpha Lucian, your eyes" whispered Alpha Jason from beside me. Without waiting for my response, he continues "they have turned black"
I look down at my hands, black long claws have started emerging from my hands. Strong werewolf veins become prominent on my forearms and I feel throbbing veins on my neck, my whole body was turning blue and little bits of fur were emerging.
"I don't know about your Luna" Amaruq replied, fear lacing his voice.
"Then where the hell is she? I'm not playing your stupid games, I will thrash your whole pack if she's not here within the next twenty-four hours" I growl.
The elders have risen from their seats as I was standing above the round table, any minute and I'll shreds that Amaruq to pieces.
"Alpha Amaruq if Luna of Silver Moon pack is found on your territory, your pack will be announced as rogues" announced alpha Phoenix.
"If this isn't injustice then I don't know what is" replied Amaruq with little bits of his left confidence and fear. "I will let alpha Lucian stroll through my whole pack. If there's any sign of his Luna, I will myself leave this committee." Replied Amaruq with gritted teeth.
Women were highly respected in the werewolf community, any disrespect to them is never taken lightly. Especially now that we're talking about a mates Luna, this just makes matter worse.
"And if I found her there, I will rip your head off your shoulders" I reply through gritted teeth.
The committee decided to close any means of travel between Amaruq's Cross Sun pack and his neighboring packs. While Amaruq was made to sit with the elders, without any source of outside communication, every alpha was obliged to leave the room one by one, closing transport and communication between the packs. A few hours passed and at last, after every border was closed, Amaruq was sent back to his pack with an eye on him.
Leaving in the end with Jason, I bid goodbye to the elders, anger still there in my body.
"Lucian, what happened today?" Questioned Jason once we were out of the committee border.
"With that fuckface? I swear once I find Love I'll kill him" I grit my teeth. Even thinking about someone abducting her made my blood boil.
"No, about what happened with you. During the meeting" said Jason. Jason and I have been friends since we were little, especially because I studied with his younger sister. Because of this, we don't address each other formally.
"I don't know. Anger took over my body and I don't know the rest" I half lied, I know exactly what that means, I'm just not keen on accepting it.
"Lucian, I know that you're not exactly clueless" Jason spoke as we sat in my car. His beta was bringing his car behind. "You know exactly what this means Lucian"
"What if I do? How will that even change anything? Right now my Luna is nowhere to be known and I don't care if I lose control. It's been three days Jason, three fucking days." I grit my teeth as I look out the window.
"Lucian, you know what this might mean. The smaller packs already feel like they need power. Once they realize that" he stops and looks at me. "That you're a Lycan, they will go into a state of panic. And revolution is the last thing we need right now" replied Jason, frustrated about the situation.
"I'll keep it down for now" he nods as I spoke "but if I don't find her, you better expect me to turn every pack who interferes into ashes," I told him.
I heard him sigh and decided to go against replying.
My mind was filled with images of Love calling out to me and I couldn't keep my mind focused.
Yes, I'm a local. When my ancestors were cursed, this lycan form came along with it. For generations, we have tried to keep it inside as this might cause other packs to go against us. Lycan is a ferocious werewolf in half-human form who knows no mercy. Once a wolf turns into a Lycan, they have no control over its actions.
But the only thing in my mind, was Love.....
