Venom’s POV
“Nothing has been decided yet. Measures are supposed to be taken up but we have not been able to come up with something to directly combat them.”
Everyone sat in the dining room as we all discussed the issue of the people who were attacking the pack consistently and stayed untraceable.
Even thinking of the idea that we were such a weak link bothered me.
“And the elders? What are they saying about these things?” My father asked, he was a more experienced man and even at that, we were caught up with fighting off the predators.
“They haven’t said anything critical. It’s just been different deliberations upon deliberations.”
I saw him sigh. It wasn’t just my pack that was at stake but our lineage overall and things were not looking up with how they were turning for us.
” I’ll be leaving now. We’ve got a few things to do and I should go early.”I announced to everyone and left the table. They all had glum looks, from Alex to Caleb to my parents to Maya, but there was nothing i could do about it. They were helping and that was nice.
I left the pack house and went outside where I got into my car and ignited the engine to leave.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
” I can’t even think of something. It’s all just too weird.” I lamented.
It was getting to me already. The weight of the pack and responsibility of everyone was affecting me , but it felt like I was in a gridlocked position.
I received a call from Atkinson, the commander. The army was still active in the case and things were being done for solutions to be found.
“Hello, what’s the update?” I asked as soon as I raised the phone to my ear.
” We’ve found more men, but they have refused to talk and since that is the case with them, I have joined them with the rest we found the other day. Hopefully, we can decide soon since we don’t know their capabilities.”
” Thank you,” I said to him and the call ended.
Much thought had been given to the prisoners who were held captive and we had tortured multiple times but they just didn’t give in or explain themselves. None of them snitched.
” There’s something strong tying them down.” I said to myself. It was obvious that they could have been held under some sort of strange oath or maybe they were just too strong-willed.
I finally got to the headquarters where I overlooked a few things, meetings and appointments and every other thing I could get my hands on before leaving.
Someone was already handling things in my absence and I would usually just come once in a while. It was a routine I tried not to lag on due to how much I wasn’t doing at the office already.
The papers seemed in place and every other thing was in place. Nothing complex to do and the job was being done well back at the office.
I picked up my telephone and phoned my secretary.
“Kelly, can I see you? Come to the office now.” I told her and ended the call.
Minutes later she was at the office door knocking.
” Come in, please.” I told her and she came in.
” I can see that everything is going well here and things are fine. I just want to iterate something I told you long before now, if anything fishy goes on, make sure you call me right ahead.” I instructed her.
” Yes, sir.”
” I don’t want you to fear and respect anyone else but me and I want you to monitor from what you can.” The talk ended briefly and when I got the feeling that there wasn’t any need to stay any longer, I left the office.
I drove out of the compound feeling relieved. At least, that was under control and I didn’t have to worry so much about anything that could be going on.
There was ny so much to do again. I consider holding a meeting with the elders, but we had held so many and discussed a lot already. Perhaps, it would be time wasting if we held another meeting again.
Just then, an idea popped into my mind. We had not addressed the people of the pack yet and it was a good idea to do so. Nothing from the horses mouth had gotten to them yet, maybe it would calm the uprising that seemed to be growing in the pack.
A meeting would have to be held again.
Evening came and everyone had arrived on a short notice. I was impressed by how soon they listened.
After the last elder entered, we began.
“What are we here for, Alpha Venom?” One of them asked me.
“An idea came to my mind and I thought I would share it with everyone before delivering it to the people.”
“We’re all ears,” they chorused.
” They people haven’t been addressed by their alpha, me, yet. It would be a perfect idea to reduce the agitation of the people by speaking to them which we will do.” I told everyone.
” When is this to hold? We’re definitely going to do that since it also occured to me too.” That was Reynolds, a respected elder or a clan who never missed our meetings.
” It should be happening in three days. I don’t think we need any postponing or delay. We get everything in place and that should be arranged as quickly as we can for effective communication.”
The conversation steered away from the plan we were making ti address the people and then we discussed the criminals that were captured. Everything was touched I was surprised I had not called for the meeting earlier.
Everything was adjourned later and we all began to part ways so we could return back home.
For the first time in a bit, I was returning back home feeling a bit fulfilled about how things were turning for me.
Maybe they weren’t so good, much was being worked on.
