Tyler was in his office. He was about to go to the wolf house when he was summoned by the elders.
It has been six months since he became the alpha and people were starting to question his authority. Most of the wolves in the pack said that he was too weak for the role. some even doubted if he was the real son of his father given that his father was one of the strongest alphas their pack has ever had. Most of them even thought that he was sick and soon to die.
Tyler hated war. Going to war with other packs or taking duels was never his style. He was very wise though. He has made the pack stronger with the humans and made sure their kind didn't get killed by the humans. He gave good offers and made sure that his pack was safe and that is why the wolves never asked to step down. But besides that, Tyler hasn't done any other thing as the alpha. The pack was starting to get worried. What if their surrounding pack attack them. Words are already getting out that the biggest pack has a weak alpha. that alone is very dangerous.
Tyler went to the room of the elders. They were all seated there waiting for him. Immediately Tyler came in, they all stood up and bowed as a sign of respect. Tyler bowed to them in response and they all took their seat.
"Why the sudden meeting?" Tyler asked
"Alpha, the pack is getting restless." Elder Ku said immediately. "They are getting worried because you have fought any duel or fought any war to prove your strength."
"But is that not why I am your alpha? to help reduce war and lead? So why do I have to go to war to prove that I am worthy to be your alpha?"
"The pack is getting suspicious. Thay are rumours that are spreading. The pack think you are sick. Some say you are too weak. This will affect the reputation of our pack and might make our rival packs attack us."
"That will not happen." Tyler assured them. "No pack will attack us. I made sure to put them in their place. They can't attack us."
"We know that but the pack doesn't. They feel you are too weak. They think you are taking things lightly and it is making them worried. Thay are doubting if you can lead them."
Tyler stood up from his seat at this point and tried to think. The elders stood up as well.
"The pack is growing restless, what should we do?"
Tyler turns to them suddenly and says "We need to distract them with something, something big enough for them to ignore everything."
"Elder Ku."
"Yes alpha."
"Send out word that I am ready to choose a mate. Tell the pack that any she-wolf who wants to be the Luna of the pack should come. Book a date as well."
"But alpha…"
"Do as I say." Tyler urged.
"Yes alpha."
Tyler left the room immediately followed by his right-hand man Oliver who has been there quietly watching everything. They got to Tyler office and Oliver couldn't help but ask "Alpha my I ask what you are doing?"
Tyler sat on his sit and started going through a few papers.
"The people are worried for one reason so I need to advert their attention and this is the best thing I could think of. Think about it, if the wolves are so excited about the alpha's mate, they will shift their attention from being worried to being excited. The beta and omegas will be wondering who will be the lucky she-wolf while the she-wolves will be busy trying to know how they can impress me. It is a good plan, right?"
"Yes alpha, it is. But you do know that this will not last. When you finally choose a mate, the worries will come back again." Oliver said.
"That is why I didn't just choose. I want it to be open to all the she-wolves. I want someone who is strong enough and will be willing to put their fears to rest."
Oliver sighed. He didn't know if the plan would work but he had hope in this alpha. he knew that Tyler was a very smart think and he calculated this properly. But he couldn't help but this that this was a bit reckless. What if this goes wrong?
"If you say so alpha." Oliver said and left.
Tyler knew that his plan was reckless but he had no choice. He couldn't fight. He wasn't strong enough. All he could think of was this plan. The elders and the pack were getting suspicious. He could let any of them find out that he wasn't strong. He needed to find a she-wolf that is strong and able to fight. This was his only chance and he wouldn't allow it to be messed up.
