The woman had taken them back to the mansion while using several shortcuts. As soon as they got to the entrance of the mansion, they all reverted back to their human forms and Nathan was given another shirt due to his transformation destroying the other one.
When they were properly dressed, the woman opened the doors for them and they walked in. The pressure coming off from the elders instantly greeted them; the heirs and queens stood to the side while the kings glared at each other. It was as clear as day that neither of them liked each other. The pressure which was once directed towards themselves, was instantly directed towards Nathan and his sisters who stood by the door. Natasha and Cassandra hid behind Nathan when this happened and Nathan sighed.
"Nathan, where have you and your sisters been?" The western tribe's king, Gard asked
"We have waited patiently for the three of you to arrive before we begin" the eastern tribe's king, Lucard said.
However, Nathan didn't answer them and instead, turned to look at his father before staring at his sisters and shaking his head.
"This just won't do" Nathan mumbled and the two kings got angry "What? Am I surposed to tell you what I do in my own father's tribe?" He asked while grinding his teeth "Need I remind you two....so called kings that you both arrived here unannounced? With your wives, children and your witches that I can smell from a mile away, even if they're using their magic" he shouted out the last part and two women had appeared out of nowhere; each one standing next to the two kings "And lastly, can the two of you reduce that pressure of yours? My sisters and a few people in this room need air to survive" he said before taking in a deep breath. As the pressure in the room reduced, those that found it hard to breath, had gotten better and Nathan had taken his sisters by the hand and walked over to his father and mother's side. The two kings were still glaring at Nathan and naturally, he glared back.
"It's times like this that I thank my lucky stars you were born rude" Marcus said as he rubbed Nathan's head
"What exactly does that entail?" Nathan asked with a frown and Marcus smiled before removing his hand from Nathan's head. Marcus' smile instantly disappeared as he stared at Gard and Lucard.
"So, what was the cause of this unannounced visit and meeting?" Marcus asked and Gard and Lucard looked at each other before taking human form. Gard had reddish brown hair and sky blue eyes; he was just as huge as Marcus while Lucard had grey hair and blue eyes while also being as huge as the other kings.
"Word reached us that three weeks ago, northerners had began to trespass on lands that weren't theirs" Lucard said
"That did happen" Marcus murmured
"But that wasn't the only thing that had reached us" Gard said as he glared at Nathan "We heard that your son had brought a human girl to this werewolf town" he growled and everywhere went silent.
"I did and so, what?" Nathan asked
"So you admit to bringing a human here? And for what purpose if I may ask?" Lucard asked
"She was injured by the northern tribe.....on our land. I couldn't just leave her there" Nathan stated "And also, what happens on our land is none of the other tribes' business. Those were your words one hundred and fifty years ago, when you broke the laws and had a child with the concubine standing next to the queen of the eastern tribe"
"You brat!!! Respect how you talk to my father" a tall grey haired man said. He had blue eyes to couple with his grey eyes and tall stature but he was nowhere near the level of handsomeness as Nathan.
"You can't tell me what to do, cause you don't own here, Allen" Nathan said with a sigh. He hated coming to these meetings; they felt so stupid and he always felt like the people who tried to argue at times, were also stupid. Marcus sighed and looked at Nathan
"Son, for now, don't speak again" Marcus said on the frown on Nathan's face grew but he just had to bite his tongue
"As you wish" Nathan said "But if they try anything, I wouldn't be so mindful of the words that come out from my mouth"
"Accepted" Marcus said before looking at Lucard and Gard "Let us continue with the meeting" he said
"Even if the girl was injured there was no need to bring her back to your tribe. And when you brought her back, and she found out about the werewolves, you shouldn't have let her go" Gard said
"Let me get this straight" Rebecca let out from the side and they all looked at her "So you're saying, the injuries she had were not serious enough to have our witch treat her?" She asked and Gard nodded "Louisa" Rebecca called out and by her side, a woman with red hair and a bandage to cover her eyes appeared; she wore ancient Greek clothes and held a staff with a blue crystal embedded to it.
"You called, your majesty?" Louisa asked
"Yes. I'd like you to tell these men exactly what you found in Sloane's body when you treated her" Rebecca said with folded arms
"Although I didn't directly treat her....I administered the drugs for the girl. She was attacked by a blue eyed witch....or better yet, a green eyed werewolf. One of the many creations of the northern tribe's hybridization" Louisa stated before she faced the door and pointed her staff there "It's useless" she said and a white line of energy had come out from the crystal and hit the door. Louisa instantly turned her head to a different direction and had done the same.
"Has your witch gone mad?" Gard asked and Nathan scoffed
"And you call yourself an alpha. A tribe elder. A king" he stated as he pointed at a large hole where the door once was "Can't you tell that someone's there?" Nathan asked as though stating the obvious and everyone turned and stared at the door in silence.
"It's a good thing you noticed me...." A voice said as the person walked into the room. Her long black hair swayed from side to side and her eyes glew a bright red as her brows seemed to frown the more she entered into the mansion. "....cause I was wondering how I'd walk in here and ask....." Her head tilted to the side and her nails elongated "...what you people did to my friend, Sloane"
At the girl's words, Nathan's mind had instantly clicked on who this person was. He usually forgot people he either didn't see as a threat or didn't interest or make an impact on him in anyway. However, due to the kings bringing up the matter of Sloane, he remembered every interaction and conversation he had with Sloane. And one of them stuck out to him; the one involving two girls that defended Sloane against the students at the university.
'If I remember correctly, one of the girls had long black hair and brown eyes' he thought as he stared at the girl in front of him 'It couldn't be....'
"Alexa?"
