“I don't even know where she is!" I punched the table so hard that it went flying until it smashedagainst the glass window of my office room breaking the window glass into pieces. The glassesshattered into pieces and some even pierced my skin because of the impact of force that I used tothrow the table. The skin on my face healed as immediately as it got punctured by those glasspieces.

"You need to calm down my lord!” Pearsyvia said as I rubbed my face by my hands.

“Calm? Are you asking me to calm down? Are you ignorant of the state that I am right nowCynthia?” I growled and she took a step back lowering her head.

"King!" Pearsyvia walked inside the room with Blake following her.

"What is it?" I asked and from my peripheral vision watched as Estelle who standing near the doorwalking towards the window and repairing it back to its original form using her power.

“As you had ordered I have asked all the eleven witches to gather up downstairs. Eight witches aredownstairs except me, Cyreana and Estelle. The wounded Wolves and the alphas have been takencare of and Lord Cole is also doing well under the healer's supervision. The Alphas who are fine andnon-effected by the previous incident have been also asked to gather downstairs. Shall we?” sheasked raising her hand and indicating to join the meeting.

“We shall!” I nodded and walked out of the room with them following me.

This was going to be an important meeting for everyone in the werewolf kingdom. We will be tryingto locate our enemies and hopefully, we will replace my Aderyn very soon. My heart hurts and I heardBlack whining in my head think about his mate. I swore if I saw a single scratch on her body then Iwould shatter my enemy, whoever he or she is into pieces.

"King!" everyone bowed their head down when I entered the room.

“Take a seat!” I told everyone and they all nodded before taking the seat on their chair. It was like aconference meeting. Everybody was seated on the chair next to each other and facing me. Thewitches chose to sit on one side together while the Alphas chose to sit on the other side of the longtable. The Betas chose to stand due to the shortage of space and I moved my chair to the side notwanting to sit.

“We all are here gathered up for a reason and I assume everyone present in here already knows thereason,” I said and watched as everyone present inside the room nodded their head

My eyes trailed off to one of the witches, “Phoenix Hunter’ who stood in the corner in the dark withher head lowered in shame hearing people cursing her own daughter.

Edna Hunter was her daughter. We thought being Edna’s mother, Phoenix would support herdaughter in the war but we were proved wrong and Phoenix showed her loyalty towards me bykilling her own daughter with the other witches using her power. Everybody's eyes fixated onPhoenix wanting to see her expression.

“I am truly ashamed of her being my daughter my lord! I swear I don't have any idea or connectionto how she survived. She brought disgrace to our kind and she shall be punished for not only goingagainst the kind but also for kidnapping the Queen and for killing our fellow mates. I promise you,my lord, this time I wouldn't let her pass through my hand easily” Phoenix said and I watched astears fell down her eyes as she disappeared in thin air leaving those tears which fell on the ground.“I think Phoenix has betrayed us” I heard one of the alphas.

"Yes, I also think she saved her daughter! She is a traitor!” another one said.

“Nonsense! We all know Phoenix isn't like that. She stood with us in the fight and she even raisedher own hand to kill her own daughter. She didn't betray us. Phoenix is loyal!” snapped AmberSueffer another witch from the eleven powerful witches.

“My lord please, believe me, us Phoenix is loya-" I cut her off by raising my hand at her.

“You don’t need to explain anything. I have never doubted any of the witches nor Phoenix. I havefaith in her and even we all” I looked at the Alphas before continuing “we all trust Phoenix. Do wenot?” I asked.

“But Alph-" I cut Derrick in the middle.

“It is not the time to raise ou fingers at each other. It is the time of unity. Regarding Phoenix, nomother would ever wish to kill her own blood let alone raise a finger on her child, but here Phoenixhad proved her loyalty towards the kingdom by standing with us. She could have easily taken herdaughter's side. What could you all have done if she took Edna's side back then? Nobody couldhave done anything and no one should question her loyalty when we all have witnessed what hashappened in the past!” I said and watched as the witches nodded and a small smile crept up theirfaces.

“I understand what Phoenix must be going through right now. It is a sensitive case for her and wewon't mind if she chooses to stay away from the war. It is not easy to face your own blood in a war.We shall respect her decision in this matter” I said and the witches nodded agreeing.

“Thank you, my lord, for having faith in us!” Estelle spoke for the first time and I nodded at her.“Now that we all know who our enemy is I believe it will easy for us to locate Aderyn now!” I saidand everyone nodded.

“We wait for your command, my lord!” Estelle said and I inhaled deeply before saying.

“I command the witches to gather up and start the searching up process. Locate Edna's position andtry to replace out how she survived the last time” I commanded and series of “Yes my lord!’ from thewitches was heard.

“The Alphas are in the charge of the gathering up and training the wolves for the war. Prepare yourpacks and gather every pack together nd train them together for the war. No female wolf is to beallowed in the war. The female wolves are requested to guard the kingdom in our absence. Some pfthe betas shall stay behind in the kingdom to guard the territory in our absence. It is no offense tothe female wolves but I have made this decision because the female wolves need to protect thepups and the older ones in the kingdom. And with that, they must be trained by the betas to remainprepared if they were attacked behind our back. Betas will train every single female wolf so that ifwe need them they must be able to join us in the war. But till that it is for the kingdom's futuregeneration's safety that the pups and the female wolves shall remain back in the kingdom" I saidand watched as Jenny hugged Cole sobbing.

“Cole! You shall remain in the kingdom. You-" Jenny's face lit up but at the same time Cole stood upfrom the chair despite the wounds he managed to act strongly before me.

“No Alpha! I shall join my King in the war. It will be shameful for a warrior not to accompany his kingwhen the kingdom is in the state of war” Cole argued.

“I understand. I am not banning you from joining us but looking at your condition I have taken thedecision that you shall remain here and concentrate on healing yourself for protecting the people inthe kingdom" I said and before he could argue I silenced him by saying “ It's an order!”

He nodded but judging from his body gestures and clenched jaws I knew he wouldn't really dowhat I have ordered him to do. Perks of being the childhood best friend.

While everyone gossiped to each other and began to plan their strategy my mind trailed off toAderyn.

"Have faith in me Aderyn! You will be back to me in no time. I promise!” I spoke to myself.
