Chapter - 31

                             Disha
I sat down next to Asha, we were called for the pack meeting that was happening outside the pack house. I didn't expect there is a video call for the members who couldn't come tonight and this action helps them to feel a part of the pack. From the talking, it is the first time happening which means high-rank members are considered to include as many of their members to be part of the pack.
" Hello, everyone... First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming in a short time, the people who couldn't come here due to some reason, have joined the video conference so they can also hear the announcement I am here to announce," Alpha Aston muttered looking at everyone and continued.
" I would like to inform you that we are honoured to welcome the WolfQueen of Sunshinners, Disha Singh, the Royal Beta Asha Singh and the Royal Gamma Roshini Khanna," Alpha Aston stopped himself as people started to cheer and howl in excitement.
" Let me finish introducing the members of Sol Hudo," Alpha Aston said to calm the cheer and howl down which worked.
" Princess Nina Singh and Princess Yasmin Singh are here and they all will be helping us to defeat the Unknown pack," Again people started to cheer and howl for the victory that is yet to come.
" After my Dad became the Alpha, he made one major change which is changing the pack motto. I am here again to announce the pack motto is changed to its original, the one that our founders made. From now onwards, our pack motto is,
Howlers of the moon,
moon create us,
moon lightens the path for us,
howling at the sight of the moon,
thanking the moon for everything," 
Older people were cheering this time and thanking Alpha Aston for changing the motto.
" I am glad that you all like this change and show more enthusiasm for other changes I am going make.
The schools and universities in the pack territory will have scholarship programmes for low-income students.
The social welfare tax will increase up to ten per cent and through the pack office, you would donate to the pack. With each donation, you could suggest any idea that could help to improve the pack's infrastructure or anything... Suggesting a spa, sports club, more schools or anything.
The change is from tomorrow onwards, there will be compulsory training starting from age thirteen to twenty. Those training will be under the supervision of the expert warriors who have come back to help the future generations of this pack," People started to howl and clap after Alpha Aston's speech.
" The last announcement is to inform you all that we will go to war with Unknown Pack in this weekend... So, I advise everyone to spend time with their family and friends. Don't worry, we will win this war. After all, we are the strongest pack with great warriors... We even have help from the council, Royal pack and Sol Hudo. We are meant to win and destined to make history by ending the most dangerous pack of the underworld. Victory is ours," Alpha Aston howls in the end and soon people join him.
" I must say he made a great speech in the end. Now people will be looking forward to the war then fearing it," Roshini commented in Hindi so no one can understand us.
" How could anyone look forward to the war? It's filled with terror and people who survived ended up with PSTD," Asha muttered.
" Good for you because you won't be fighting in the war," Nina spoke back making Asha frown.
" What are you saying?" Asha asked and Nina quickly answered.
" I am telling facts,"
Asha looked at me in confirmation to tell Nina is joking but my guilty look told otherwise.
" Why?" She questions looking at me in disbelief.
" Asha, you are a sensitive person. We don't think it's good for you to fight in the war...," Asha interrupted me by saying,
" I get it that I am sensitive. Then what about Yasmin, Roshini or you? Killing someone is the same as killing yourself. How come you can be sure that you three can kill?"
" They don't faint at the sight of blood like you. And from the attack yesterday, Yasmin and Roshini were in killing mode unlike you... You didn't mean to kill but to protect yourself from the attackers," Nina answered thankfully as I was speechless to answer Asha's question. Before Asha objected or questioned, I commanded as I can't risk the life of the perfect future WolfQueen,
" You are not going to fight in this war,"
" I can't believe you all," Asha mumbled as she leaves while concealing her aura so no one know her feeling.
" She will come around," I muttered and then we four started to talk about our expectations for the war.
" Queen Disha," I turn my head to find a middle age woman whose face I can't see as she bowed her head down really low.
" Yes," After my reply, she lifts her head and said,
" Thank you... Your help in this war has helped me to breathe in peace and finally, I won't be living in fear,"
" Don't thank me... I am going what's right," I spoke back.
" I really hope you kill him... When I met him, he was a monster in disguise of a human," I interrupt her by asking her a question.
" Who are you talking about?"
" From the picture circulating around, I got to know his name is Samuel... I am a survivor of the Unknown Pack's attack...When I was captured, he will always come into the room and kept torturing me in numerous methods," She started to cry hard making me believe she have a hard time breathing.
Thankfully, a man and Delta came to help the woman. From their talks, I concluded the man is the mate while the Delta is the son.
" Please don't mind my mom... She still gets affected thinking about that thing, Queen " Delta spoke in a worried tone.
" It's okay," I said trying not to cry after seeing the woman.
" Your mother is a strong woman and I hope to be like her," Nina spoke with an empathising look.
" Don't worry, I will kill him in the worst manner... I would use my powers to torture him before so he would regret torturing you and many women. You have my word," Nina's promise made the woman made her stop crying and she looked pleased.
" Thank you," The woman said in a low tired voice before her mate and son also express their gratitude to Nina and left.
" You are the one who is looking forward to the war," Roshini answered Asha's question.
