James's POV
I hurriedly ran from the backyard into the woods, exactly at seven in the morning. I had a hard time coming up with an excuse, until Beta Legolas helped me by creating a scenario where there was an injured member in the forest, forcing me to go help.
Fortunately, Emily believed it. Well, I doubted she really believed it, but I didn't care. All that was in my mind right now was to meet the elder and find out what had really happened.
"Alpha James!" Beta Legolas and two other members bowed, showing their respect.
"Alright, I want to meet the elder right away. Where is he?"
Beta Legolas then led me to walk behind him, with the other two members following behind me.
We stopped in front of a cave, and Beta Legolas looked at me, saying, "Please, Alpha James, the elder is inside. Go ahead, I and the others will stand guard here."
