Chapter 119

All of them looked at each other with curiosity before they pulled out heir phones and checked the official pack notification I sent though the email.
Upon seeing that they were already discussing with each other about what they saw in their email, I raised my arm to show my phone’s screen.
“As you can see in this email, Crimson Pack isn’t as stable and trustworthy as we might know them to be.”
Everyone’s attention came back at me.
“What does this mean?”
“Is this for real?”
“Where did you get this?”
Questions one after another from every direction of the room was thrown at me, which was just as I wanted. It only meant that they cared and needed answers. Answers which I could provide.
“It’s an investigation report about the Crimson Pack,” I stated, pointing at the Crimson Pack’s emblem that’s in the presentation.
Then, I continued, “In that report, you can vividly see evidences pointing that teh Crimson Pack is adding Red Azaleas, an addictive herbs, to the medications they supply over the years. It’s effects are highly dangerous for eveyone as it could make the full grown werewolves addictive and go rogue. As for pups, they would go weak until such time that they will lose their wolves.”
Gasped filled the room and I continued.
"My dear members. Everyone of you here are someone's parent, someone's grandparent, or you will be a parent one day."
"Think about it carefully. Once you choose the Crimson pack, our puppies would lose their ability to transform and fight because of the medicine. Their lives will even be worse than those of Omegas and slaves, because they need to keep buying expensive addictive products to satisfy themselves..."
"Today, I am standing here, as your Luna, asking everyone of you to make the right choice. Please."
“For our puppies. And for our future.”
After finishing my words, I took a deep breath and silence fell in the Hall.
As a mother and as the heiress of the Kingdom, I ask everyone to protect our puppies.
Most of those in the room were of high ranking and elders of each of their families. They all had their love ones whom they wanted to protect from the adhesive effects of the illegal herbs that Crimson Pack was adding.
I believed they would understand what I’ve said.
Sure enough, they started whispering to each other and frowning.
“What? Red Azaleas? Is this real?”
“The email has all the evidences and certificates. I bet it is.”
“We can’t go on with this.”
“How can they do this?”
Once I heard that their topic was starting being on favored to the outcome I want, I took the opportunity to insist even further while it’s still hot.
“I beg you again, as a member and Luna of the pack, please don’t vote for the Crimson Pack.” I looked at each of their eyes, letting them see my sincerity, and added, “Especially the elders, please consider carefully before you vote. Each of the pack member’s lives are on the line, and so is the entire pack.”
I, a Luna, even bowed a bit to show them my determination.
They may treat me as a lowly Omega because of my origin, but until my divorce with Kylian, it won’t change the fact that I’m still their Luna whether they like it or not.
Most of the elders looked back and forth between the evidences I sent via email and me. They were weighing things out, before I saw many of them nodding in silent agreement.
Seeing that, I rejoice deep in my heart. Maybe, I’ll have a chance to change the outcome.
“Bang——”
Suddenly, a loud thud engulfed the room, leading everyone to instant silence.
It’s Luke who slammed both his hands on the desk with a great force. His eyes were burning with fury. The veins in his neck was protruding, showing how furious he was and he was shaking.
He raised his arm and pointed at me.”You! A mere lowly omega that should be enslave! How dare you entangle yourself in this pack’s internal affairs?”
All eyes went on him.
“I allow you in this meeting, but how dare you make up things such as fake evidence just so you can be in the limelight? You’ve gone overboard, you arrogant bitch! Get out of the Dark Moon Pack!”
Luke pointed toward the door, wanting me gone.
Of course he’ll want that. After all, I’m ruining his plan.
I looked at Like straight in the eye. Between us, he was the one filled with fear.
But this is just the beginning. I’ll skin him one after another, and let everyone see his true colors. Once I get an evidence that he is taking bribes from the Crimson Pack, his life will be over!
The room was once again became filled with discussion.
“Yes, she’s just an omega. How can she sustain such evidence?”
“Maybe she just wanted the limelight and started making lies!”
“She probably made a deal with the Silver Bow Pack…”
The were filled with speculation, all against me.
Due to that, Luke instantly smirked and acted all smug. With his head held high, he commanded arrogantly, “Explain yourself, you lowly bitch! Are you colluding with the Silver Bow Pack? How can you even ensure that those evidence were genuine and not fabricated? Once proven that ou fabricated it, you’ll be severely punish!”
I wanted to laugh at him. He was pointing fingers at me, making them think that I did what he said. He must have thought that he already succeed in diverting the truth, hence he was rejoicing.
Dream on, Shithead!
(Della’s POV)
“Great question, Sir, Luke.” I said while giving Luke a small smirk.
He instantly became more anger and gritted his teeth. I could feel him restricting himself from growling in anger and making a scene here. There was also a little panic in his eyes. He probably didn't expect me to be so calm and well-prepared.
After all, I’m a stupid lowly omega, in his eyes.
“Look here, everyone,” I announced as I raised my hand, showing them my phone’s screen once again.
“At the last page of the document, you’ll see the official seal of the Kingdom’s Security Management Office.”
At the last page of the document, there was a seal in there together with a signature from Troy. Knowing Luke would doubt me, I requested for an official report from Troy so he’ll give me one that with seal.
Instantly, with a hint of shock, everyone rushed to open their phones again and scrolled to the very last page of the document that I’ve emailed to them. They couldn’t believe what they saw and gasped instnatly filled with room.
They were looking at each other with wide eyes as they try to comprehend everything they saw and heard.
“I can’t believe that Crimson Pack is this worse! How can they do such thing?”
“Are you believing it? Who knows if the seal is fake?”
Someone knocked senses on them, “Fake? Kingdom’s seal is not something that can be easily fabricated.”
“If its true, then how can such pack be one of the candidates, much less be recommended by the former Alpha?”
“Indeed, this is a huge issue to deal with.”
I clapped my hand to get their attention. “To everyone’s concern about the seal’s authenticity, feel free to send an email at the Kingdom’s Security Office for confirmation.”
They’re not fool, just blinded by Luke’s schemes. However, if until this time they chose to believe him with all that evidence against the Crimson Pack, then maybe they were indeed stupid.
I’ve tried to protect the Dark Moon Pack, as elders they should be wiser than me.
“Wow, it must be true then.”
“I can’t believe that our Luna is actually capable. Such a shame that she’s going divorce our Alpha soon.”
On the other hand, Luke could only stare at me as he sat back down, speechless. The furious in his eyes told me he wanted to kill me, but he couldn't do it in front of everyone. It was driving him crazy.
I smiled in satisfaction and said again, “And if I may add, the Crimson Pack was already known as a notorious pack in the Wakeland. You are all free to make your own investigation later on. I’m sure it won’t be that long before you get the same result as it’s almost a giveaway now, considering their current popularity in that place.”
Once I was positive that most won’t vote for the Crimson Pack, I walked back to my booth where Henry immediately asked, “How did you get that file?”
I sat back down, and glanced at him pointedly, “That’s none of your business. The issue here, is that you, as a Beta, neglected to do your duty. How can you let everyone blindly vote by not providing a concrete information about the candidates?”
Of course, that angered him as it hit his ego badly.
He took a step closer at me with a clenched fist, as if he wanted to hurt me, but I remain unfazed.
Henry sneered, and rudely accused, “Huh! For all I know, you probably got that from Prince Jackson. After all, its so easy for you to use your body in exchange of–”
“Henry! Shut the fuck off!”
Before he could finish his words, Kylian intervened and commanded him to a stop with his Alpha voice, making Henry instantly quiet and back off.
I, on the other hand, only rolled my eyes.
“But Alpha…” Henry tried to retort when he got closer to Kylian, but Kylian onlyg gave him a menacing glare, saing that it’s end of discussion.
Then, Kylian looked back at me with a smile on his face. “Thank you, Della. How many more things will you surprise me?”
His eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation. I could feel that he was greatly thankful for my interference as it would help him win.
Narrowing my eyes on him, I said, “I’m not doing it for you.”
‘Just you wait, Kylian. You’ll be more surprise once Ralph arrive,’ I thought.
Once Ralph arrive, he’ll see the truth about Stella. For sure, Ralph would start questioning Stella and everything would be revealed.
One after another, I’ll remove the mask of those around Kylian. At least in this way, I could rest assure to leave him, knowing that he was already aware about the people around him.
Though he’s not a perfect mate one could have, it couldn’t be denied that he was soft hearted to his people, even to his monstrous father.
The least I could do for him was open his eyes about the truth so he could manage his pack without being held back.
At this time, Dominus cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention. “Werewolves, now that a veery important information was given by Luna Della, I’d like to ask if there are any other data that some of you can share with everyone before we start?”
He looked around, waiting for aa few minutes.
Everyone looked around. Some were even looking at Luke, probably waiting for him to make a rebuttal, but he kept quiet with his clenched fist under the table.
I couldn’t help but smirk.
When no one replied, Dominus nodded in understanding, and begun to say, “In that case, let’s start the voting. I’d like to invite each of you to individually drop your votes in the ballot.”
