Chapter 178: The Werewolf’s Plan
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
“Dearest, about a week after I returned to the pack, I went to the Council of Elders and submitted the evidence of what happened within the pack, as well as some things that involved Southern Wilderness Pack.”
“I know. I was never happy about you returning to the pack so soon after we had reunited. But I knew that you are also an Alpha, not just my mate.”
“Don’t worry, Darling. I made sure to make good use of my time while I was back with the pack. In fact, I went to the Council of Elders three times. The last two times were with my father.”
“Did something important happen?”
“I had told the Council of Elders everything that had happened to us, including the fact that Nicholas is looking for you. I was hoping they can take action. You shouldn’t bear this kind of thing alone. This is something that all werewolves need to face together. If we don’t solve it, that d*mn b*stard will continue to slaughter other werewolves.”
“Oh my God, Edward, what did they say?”
“That’s why I brought my father. He’s a highly respected former Alpha, even among the Council of Elders. But the council eventually went into a closed-door meeting where my father and I weren’t allowed to join. Finally, they had decided that they will not sit back anymore. It was time for them to step up and for werewolves to take action. They plan to mobilize the entire race to bring in Nicholas, to receive the punishment and trial he deserved.”
“But isn’t it a rule among werewolves that even if someone from another race committed a crime against werewolves, the perpetrator will still be returned to their race to be tried?”
“Yes, my angel. You remember it very well. But Nicholas is a special case. He is the most prominent leader of the vampire race who has no supreme council like our Council of Elders. He is the only one who has the final say in the vampire race,” said Edward.
“For many years, Nicholas has been slaughtering our compatriots. In fact, the Council of Elders had planned this before, but they did not put it into practice because they were weighing their options – whether it was worth it to cause two races to go against each other.”
I simply looked at Edward, not knowing how to judge what he had just said. Objectively speaking, it might make sense to sit back instead of risking the lives of two races to solve such a matter. However, if the victims of Nicholas were their friends or family, would the Council of Elders still be able to sit back and simply watch?
“Anyway, they had made their decision pretty recently to capture Nicholas and have communicated it to the various worthy Alphas. Those who step up will start to train and prepare their elite warriors for the mission, but all in secret, of course.”
“Oh my God! I didn’t expect them to agree! But how will this happen with Alphas from other parts of the world? I don’t think they can rush over from all over the world every time something happens.”
“Rose.” Edward used his large hand to pick up my hand and kissed the back of it.
“The elders are the most resourceful among the werewolves. Surely they would know the importance of the ‘Phoenix Soul Wolf’ to the werewolf race.”
“What? You told them my identity?!”
“Yes, Angel, I had to because I don’t want you to fall into any danger. They must know that the value of what they need to protect is greater than their fear. Only then will they come forward. All intelligent creatures are like this. When they found out that you are the Phoenix Soul Werewolf, they were very surprised. You are very important to all of us in the werewolf race, Rose.”
I never thought that one day I would be the cause of the war between two races. I didn’t even dare to think whether it would be a good or bad thing for the werewolf race if the war broke out.
“Once the thing you predicted happens and that b*stard comes to us, we will let him think that the other person is you and take that person away. Also, we will put a tracking bug on that person. The Council of Elders will not have a head-on battle with Nicholas. They will catch him in the act when he returns to his nest and is ready to mate with the so-called female Werewolf of Chaos.”
“Oh my God! This is too risky! Edward, you need to tell Alonso about this. He knows that b*stard!”
“Baby, I will. He still needs to continue training you, just in case.”
“This is too shocking. I need to clear my head. But you still haven’t answered my question about Emily, Eve, and Sarah – what will you do with them?”
“One of them will be the bait for Nicholas.”
“But Edward, Nicholas will find out that she is not a Werewolf of Chaos!!”
“Yes, he will find out. But by then, he will already be in the clutches of the Council of Elders. He will only be able to sense a Werewolf of Chaos only when that person uses their powers. Obviously, none of them can use their powers, so at least he will find out after a while when he takes one of them back for a while.”
“Edward, thank you for doing all of this just because you don’t want me to get hurt. This will be a very important moment in the history of werewolves. But I have to be honest. I don’t agree with this.”
“Why?” He looked at me in confusion.
“This isn’t fair to them. They might suffer physical and mental abuse, and even get killed by that b*stard.”
“Baby, I know you’ve always been a kind person, but they almost killed you and me! They were the ones who did the evil first! And when they did it, they didn’t think about whether it was fair to you or not! Even if they didn’t get assigned to be bait, they would still be executed by the werewolf law.”
“Yes, but when I let Emily live back then, I was simply letting her get what she had always wanted, to go through what I went through,” said I calmly, but Edward didn’t understand my intentions. He simply nodded, pretending to understand before going to answer his phone again in the living room.
