Azrael appointed about 8 different werewolves that he deemed worthy enough to form a ruling council.
He appointed 8 different officials to 8 newly created offices to keep the pack running and also to try and solve the current financial crisis that the pack was facing.

All eight of them were gathered in a room. It was meant to be their first meeting after the council was created.
Azrael was seated at the head of the table while at both edges of the table, the members of the council were seated 4-4 on each side.
"Good evening members of the council, our Alpha, I pay my respects.... " The Beta, Londan Grey started to address everyone as he got to his feet. He stood to the left of Alpha Azrael.
"As you all know, we are facing a financial crisis that seems to threaten our survival in this pack. Our food consumption is continuous and we don't have any extra food coming in."
"We don't have money to get or move goods for business, we don't have enough to gather supplies to treat the wounded during training and most importantly, we can't even pay our construction workers wages for their hard work, the Alpha has called this meeting to discuss what we can do to remedy this situation." Beta Londan Grey was straight to the point as he gave his opening speech.
Everyone paid rapt attention and the entire area was silent. No one made even the slightest of sounds.
"What of the paint business, can't we use the money from that to cover some of our debt..?" Eiden Buck asked.
"The Painting business has gone bankrupt a long time ago, the requirement was too extreme, and we had to let go of the business because of its expensive nature." Londan Grey responded.
"What of the car wash business?" Eiden Buck asked again.
"We were getting a good number of customers before, but all of a sudden they just stopped coming... I went to investigate, and it was then that I discovered something strange, there is another pack in this car wash business and they used their influence to freeze us out.." Londan Grey responded and the room grew silent again.
The person who asked the question looked toward Londan Grey with a surprised look. "So we have such a huge problem..." He shook his head.
The others started to murmur afterward.
"I learnt we were losing good business left, right, and center we can't even make funds anymore..."
"At this rate, we will starve when eventually the remaining food stock empties out."
"The problem is even bigger than I imagined, this isn't a laughing matter, if we're losing business, someone must be doing this intentionally... I wonder who?"
As the cacophony of murmurs continued, Azrael suddenly slammed his fist on the table and everyone quietened immediately.
"We have no time for all these, we need real solutions..." Azrael roared with evident rage in the tone of his voice.
"I Have a suggestion..." A female voice suddenly spoke up and everyone turned in her direction. She was clad in this well-fitted mixture of a beautiful red and orange-colored Cheongsam.
It glittered like the blazing sun.
Her cheeks appeared to be in a state which makes her look like she was smiling whereas she wasn't. She has a dimple that accentuated all her facial features.
She was really a sight to behold.
Even Alpha Azrael had to pay attention. She was none other than Mrs. Tarcher Temi.
Her late husband, Andrew Temi died during the battle with the 400 mercenaries of Alpha Zuck. He was one of the fearless 20 that faced off against him after the demise of Tyson Teron.
As a means of making it up to her, Azrael made her a member of the council.
"Mrs. Tarcher.... You may speak..." Azrael spoke. with a commanding tone.
"Yes my lord. I learn recently that there is a ranking match coming up at the Wolf Den headquarters, in Ozra, of the country Zurich, and For every rise in rank, one could make up to 1 million dollars, I want to suggest that the Alpha include his name and those of his top security personnel and put in for the werewolf ranking match."
"Also, I want to suggest that we start the business of selling our strength to the highest bidder to raise funds, either as soldiers for hire or even infiltration of the enemy lines..." Mrs. Tarcher became silent after speaking and everyone kept staring in her direction.
Azrael was also speechless...
