I kept releasing it as I went on to the next change.
“Second, If I find anyone talking or working with Jackson Issacs, or any of his associates. You will be banished and will become a rogue. I will have the Royal Council themselves make it to where if any pack accepts you they will be disbanded and made rogues themselves. The vile things this man does to women are atrocious. Up until recently, you wouldn’t have thought my sister was the same person as she was before she was kidnapped. Therefore, this is my command, and anyone breaking the new rules will be punished to the fullest,” I finished.
Everyone started to speak softly among themselves when Riley cleared her throat and asked for their attention again. “Everyone, your Alpha isn’t finished yet. Please remain silent until he is,” she said.
I gave her a smirk, and finished what I was saying. “I understand this may sound harsh to everyone, and if you have concerns I will meet with you in private, but as of right now, are there any questions that I can answer here?”
An older woman stood up and said, “Alpha Maddix, I would like to know how you plan to make sure that your rules are followed inside private homes? Are we all under the watchful eye of the pack now? Is everyone under automatic suspicion?”
I found her demeanor odd, and I asked her name before I replied.
“My name is Rhonda Oliver. You killed my mate, Grant, for having relations with your sister. Well, allegedly having relations” she sneered.
*ALETTE POV*
When Damian said we were coming to Blood Moon this morning for an important meeting with the pack, I was unsure if I wanted to come. Once he explained the short version of why, that uncertainty went away, and I knew I had to be there.
We had a late breakfast with my family, and then had to be in the auditorium promptly by noon. We entered through the back entrance and Damian and I took our seats next to the stage. Mom and my dad, Liam, were sitting next to us. My dad, Loki, was standing at the back of the room with George, Henry and Rico.
It was good to see uncle Rico. I just wish it were under different circumstances. We have Jack’s send-off tomorrow, and I know aunt Grace is beyond a mess.
I hear Maddix start to speak, so I shift my attention to him and Riley. I hope I am half the Luna she already is. I’m constantly worried my mental health is going to ruin my chances at being what my pack needs.
When I heard the complete reasoning of why the meeting was called, I could feel my anger rise. I learned how to calm Alaska quickly when she started to get angry, and she has done the same for me. She reminded me that we were safe, but we had to think of the others who weren’t because of this jerk. We had to show a strong front to show them we weren’t weak.
I was proud of my brother and Riley for implementing these rules to keep Blood Moon pack members safe. I felt the punishment fit the crimes, except if they were working with Jackson or anyone linked to him, I would sentence them to death. No hesitations.
It came to an end and Maddix asked if there were any questions. An older woman stood up, and already had an attitude before she spoke. Her demeanor was unusual, and she had a cockiness about her that was very unwarranted.
She asked my brother and sister-in-law a series of questions about how they plan on implementing these new rules, and if there would be cameras placed around the pack. She asked if the pack would now be under a watchful eye like prisoners or suspects. Then she asked if everyone in the pack was now under suspicion of working with Jackson.
Every word she spoke came out as if she was trying to cut him with a knife. Maddix kept calm and her sharp tongue and simply asked her name before he answered her. What she said, sent me reeling with fury.
“My name is Rhonda Oliver. You killed my mate Grant for having relations with your sister. Well, allegedly, she sneered. She crossed her arms over her chest and gave a smirk that would probably scare the demon gods themselves.
