Chapter 5

GEORGE

Turning the corner of the cafe shop with my black coffee to go that Mila gave me, I sigh knowing that this meeting is going to change a lot not just for the people of our small town but for Mila, herself, this could go a few ways for her.

She is the only wolf in this small town and since I took her in when she came here, I have done everything in my power to protect her. The promise I made, needs to be kept. These wolves need to stay out of the town.

I walk to the council building which is also the hospital and church for our small town. The council consists of various supernatural beings so everyone gets their needs met. It is hard to make sure that everyone is kept safe as well as the ones we love.

I enter the room where the meeting is being held. Barry the bear shifter and Margo the Vampire are waiting. They are heads of their own shifters, we are only waiting for Gerald and Skylar to come. “Hello, where is the rest, are they on their way” I ask as I take my seat at the top of the table as I am the mayor of the town.

“Skylar is just around the corner and will be in shortly but Gerald hasn’t been seen since yesterday since the phone call with the Alpha” says Barry who takes his seat next to me.

“How did Mila take the news of the wolves wanting to come into town?” He says as he turns to face me.

I sigh “She found out this morning as there were two rouges looming around the south side of the territory. She followed them and witnessed what they were capable of doing. She is fine but Sapphire was on edge, they are working today so lets try to get this sorted as I might have to do a few new spells so no one can sense either of them.”

He takes in what I said “I know we all don’t want any problems so I am hoping that we all agree to not let them come into town. Wolves are bad news, rouges come all the time but having a pack as well and this close by makes it look a whole lot worse.”

Just then the door flys open, Skylar walks in “I totally agree we shouldn’t allow the wolves into the town. It is for our safety but also Mila’s” she says as she takes her seat next to Margo. I only now realised that she has been very quiet and hasn’t looked in my direction since I have come in.

“Margo, what are your thoughts or should we wait for Gerald?” I ask looking at her for some answers but her face is blank “We should wait for Gerald but I think he is bringing someone here.”

“What do you mean he is bringing someone here with him to the meeting” I say and before she can answer me, the door swings open and Gerald walks in but he isn’t alone. A wolf is with him. He looks my age.

I don’t like the look of this. I force a grim look and glare at him.

Everyone in the room is glaring at this wolf that has just charged in here to come into this meeting.

“Who is this?” I ask Gerald who looks white as a sheet.

“Ah you must be the mayor of the town, my name is Beta Micheal. The Alpha has sent me here to meet you.” He says with this hand out right to shake my hand. I just stare at him.

“You are not supposed to be here, why Gerald are you with Beta Michael?” I asked without looking at the Beta and stared at the man who I call a friend.

“I am sorry George, last night I was out walking in the forest to collect some wild flowers for a new potion I’m creating but I was jumped by a rouge. Two members of the pack came to my aid and saved me. I was checked over by their pack doctor and came home. I met with the Alpha and he asked if Beta Michael could attend the meeting we are having today” he said with a hint of guilt hidden in there. The guy couldn’t even look at me, he just looked at the floor for the whole time he was talking.

I stare at him but turned my attention to Beta Michael “Why would you want to attend this meeting? This is to determine whether we allow you and the rest of your pack to enter our town. This has nothing to do with you or your Alpha.” I say with a snarl.

I don’t like that this is happening and now I have to make sure we don’t mention Mila in front of the Beta.

Beta Michael stares at me and grins “The Alpha wanted to make sure that you hear what we can offer, We can offer some amazing trades know which will bring new custom and maybe a few new stores to open up in the town.”

I look around at the people the council. They are in complete hatred and disbelieve that the alpha and this beta had th4e nerve to come to the meeting.

I can feel the tension in Skylar, since she is a cat shifter and only a few left live. She doesn’t want the wolves here. Gerald looks like a deer caught in headlights and looks petrified. Margo who is the leader of the vampires looks like she would like to suck his blood and Barry is stiff as a board. I know why he hates wolves.

“I think we need to talk this over without a pack member present as I know some people here have their worries” I say still glaring at the beta but before I can continue, Beta Michael says “I just want to make sure you have all your facts about us. We won’t hurt you, any of you.”

I have enough of this, the Alpha undermined me after the phone call and I have a sudden edge to kill a wolf.

I stand up and glare at him “Enough Beta Michael, your Alpha knew what we were considering. Many people here in town have had runnings with wolves in the past and not just rouges. Packs have torn apart peoples lives here. There is a lot to consider and I am going to be frank with you. I don’t like being talked to like you are in charge. I am the mayor and high warlock here so please try not to piss me off again or I will take it upon myself to kill you with a swift of my hand” I say and I know all the members around the table are smirking, knowing I am good for my word.

Beta Michael looks at me and doesn’t know whether he should believe me or not.

“I think you should leave and I mean now. I will contact your Alpha and tell him what we decide” I say as I move and show him to the door. “Barry will walk you to the edge of the border and you can make your way to the pack.”

Barry gets up, stares at the wolf but walks him out of the room.

I know fully well what his action is and with what the pack has just pulled, the other members will not want anything to do with them, let alone let them come here.
