The Lightning Wolf Chronicles Novel

Chapter 90: I Might Have Crossed a Line $ བྲུ 78% Evelyn's POV The royal banquet hall hummed with conversation as representatives clustered around circular tables for breakfast. I sat next to Alistair, trying to appear calm despite my nerves. With Alpha King Nathan and Luna Queen Selena at our table, even the most important Alphas kept their distance. When the servants cleared away the last plates, Alpha King Nathan stood. His voice carried effortlessly through the hall without seeming forced.

"Respected city Alphas and representatives, today we'll discuss matters concerning our kingdom's security. The first meeting will take place in the East Wing Hall, focusing on defense force deployment across our cities. Please arrive in fifteen minutes." As I got ready to stand, a young Omega girl in a dark gray uniform approached with a deep blue leather folder. My name was embroidered on it in silver thread. "Miss Evelyn, I'm Alana," she said with a small curtsy. "I'll be assisting you today.

Please let me know if you need anything." "Nice to meet you, Alana," I replied, noticing her surprised reaction to being addressed directly. "It'll be good to have some company, especially someone as professional as you." "Thank you, miss," she said, relaxing a bit as she lowered her voice. "Some guests can be... difficult with Omegas." She glanced around to make sure no one was listening. "If I mess up anything, just tell me straight," I told her. "You're here to help, not just follow orders.

And since this is my first time at meetings like this - what exactly is this folder for?" "It contains agendas for today's meetings, a castle map, and reference materials you might need," Alana explained, visibly warming up. "The last pages are blank for your notes. Alpha King and Luna Queen had these made specially for you." Alistair walked over and offered his arm with exaggerated formality. "Ready for the first round of battle?' "As long as it's just words flying, I think I can handle it," I said, taking his arm.

As we headed out, Alana followed slightly behind, quietly filling me in on details. We'd be attending three meetings: defense resource allocation for border cities, enhancing the southern monitoring network, and optimizing the royal family's security. My stomach tightened. Just yesterday I'd learned about the "Rogue Wolf King" organizing attacks on outlying cities. These meetings were about countering that threat. I might not know politics, but tactical defense was exactly what I'd been training for.

The East Wing Hall looked impressive - a huge circular oak table dominated the enter, with ancient maps and portraits of previous Alpha Kings on the walls. Once Nathan and Selena sat down, the other Alphas took their seats according to rank. Alistair guided me to sit on his right, which earned us some pointed looks. Before things officially started, a muscular middle-aged Alpha spoke up loudly: gis City needs to prioritize Fury City's defense!" His voice bounced off the walls. "We're the eastern frontier's first line! If Fury City falls, the entire kingdoms at risk!

Every city around us has been attacked in the past three years. it's just a matter of time before we re next!" I recognized him immediately - Samuel, Fury City's Alpha, known for being stubln and difficult. "Alpha King Nathan, Samuel continued, balancing between pleading and demanding, "we need at least twenty elite warriors stationed permanently in Fury City, or I can't guarantee border security. Every other city's gotten support - why are we being left out?" I couldn't help but chuckle softly. He reminded me of how Raymond acted with am- outwardly aggressive but inwardly insecure.
