Chapter 0272


    “So are we any closer to finding answers? It doesn’t seem like anyone knows anything right now.”


    Elder Bastian speaks up. “As much as you praise this girl’s abilities, she has yet to give us


    anything.”


    And I’m back to seething.


    “She actually gave us plenty, but only if you were paying attention. Her pack was attacked in a


    simr way and with no scent trails leading in or out. The difference being the rogues did what they


    needed to do and got out, they didn’t engage. The question still remains, were they supposed to


    engage here or were they taken by surprise? The possibility of them trying to get closer to the castle


    is high, but we don’t know the intended target. She also gave us a prisoner, which I will remind you,


    no one else aplished. The second rogue we captured bled out before we got him to the


    hospital. Doc Gannon and Doc Sylvia said we can interrogate in about an hour.”


    I nod my head with the rest of the ‘friendly’ Alphas and Elders. The ones who are far too focused on


    me and my presence just sit there looking like stubborn, petnt children.


    Alpha Reggie turns to me. He doesn’t whisper, but the conversation is clearly between the two of


    us, just not private. “Skr, I’m not ready to allow you to have the warrior brand yet. Don’t look at


    me like that, you are still too young. But, I do want you to be able tomunicate with any of the


    warriors or us in an emergency. So I am going to make you an honorary pack member. This way


    you won’t lose your connection to your own pack, but canmunicate with members of the Royal


    pack.”


    I nod, it’s better than nothing. I feel like it''s a goodpromise in front of the guys here who just


    think I should go home and let the boys do the work.


    Alpha Reggie stands and Warrior Osiston moves behind me and ces his hands on my shoulders,


    like I’m going to try and run away.


    “Give me your right hand.” Alpha Reggie instructs. “Do you pledge your loyalty to the Royal Pack?”


    “Yes.”


    “Do you pledge to fight for the safety and rights of Royal Pack members while you are here?”


    “Yes.”


    “Will youe to our aid whenever you are called?”


    “Yes.”


    “Skr Makain, you are being granted a special privilege in bing an honorary member of the


    Royal Pack. Due your duty for Blue Crescent, your home pack, keep your connections strong


    always and know that you now have a second duty to the Royal Pack. Develop and maintain your


    strong connections here as well. Do you agree to these terms?”


    “Yes.”


    He takes my hand and brings my wrist towards his mouth where his fangs have extended. He


    punctures the skin just below my thumb on my wrist and I can feel the connection immediately. It


    has been so long since I have heard extra voices other than my wolf in my head, it was almost


    overwhelming. I blink a few times to gain my bearings.


    How do you feel, Little One? I imagine it has been quiet since you have been here.


    Yes, it has. Thank you for this.


    Alpha Reggie turns back to the group, but keeps talking to me through the mindlink.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    You will stay at the castle again tonight. I am not convinced that you were not a target today.


    “Now that formalities have been handled. We clearly have things to discuss. It has been a long day


    and I am sure everyone could do with some refreshments and rest. Let’s reconvene in the morning


    and brainstorm strategies for all of our packs. The rogues are getting more bold by the day and we


    will, hopefully, have answers from our guest in the dungeons too.” I don’t know how he was able to


    carry on the conversation with me over mindlink and with the group out loud. It was impressive.


    Osiston will see you to your room, Xander and Oscar want to check in on you and Mina has also


    asked to see you. I will send Barty up with food for all of you so you can dine in peace.
