Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 131

You are allowed to talk about us." Elder Derek spoke. His voice was calm, like the water. He should speak more. I would like that.

That encouraged most of them to speak their minds. His voice had a certain allure to it. It made you want to say everything you had on your mind. "We can't let one elder's abuse of power tear our pack apart.

We need a system of checks and balances." One of the pack members, Sara, spoke up. Her eyes were on the floor, though. She dared not raise her eyes to look us in the eye. It meant she was directly challenging authority. The fact that we gave them a chance to speak their minds didn't mean they could direct it directly. There was punishment for that.

"Elders are supposed to guide and protect us, not use their powers against pack members." It was obvious that Kyle had been visibly angered by the incident. I was, too. This meeting was to ensure Elder Freya did not go scot-free for what she did to Naya. I may be powerless in the sense that I could not use my powers heavily on her, but the people had the final say.

If the people refused to see the wrong in what she did, then I had no say, but if the people saw what she did was wrong, then the Elderly one would not mind if I punished her. The process was always so complicated in some way. The deal here was to make the people agree that what she did to Naya was wrong, even though she was an insignificant member of the pack.

The game was on, and I was not going to give up that easily. I glanced to the side, happy to see Elder Freya quiet for once in her ancient life. She hardly ever saw herself as bad unless the whole staff agreed. If the staff agreed, they were the voice of the pack. After all, they worked closer to us.

I nodded in agreement, preparing to make my point with what Sara said. Bless her soul. From the corner of my eye, I saw Elder Rosalie join us. She probably left Dr. Ali in charge of Naya to join us in the meeting. Her presence was required anyway. "I understand your concerns, and I promise that we will address this issue. What she did was wrong, and that's why we are here."

I didn't miss the stink eye that Elder Freya gave me. It promised a lot of conflict on her side. I glared at Elder Roy, who annoyed me more than Elder Freya did. She was supposed to say something, not just watch. That was why we needed Naya in some way. I would be very glad if Naya could be the leader of the elders. Though that may not happen,

"The Elder Council should have the wisdom to decide on the appropriate course of action. This is wrong, and you know that." Elder Rosalie intercepted. She was just performing her duty in protecting the elder. I was sure that when they got to their inner council meeting, Elder Freya the staff.

would be berated. However, they must save face in front of

The staff were just as important. Whatever happened in the manor, they could take it out, and it would become a rumor.

You could never catch them, and I don't want to render over fifty wolves unemployed.

"But you know what will happen if we turn a blind eye to this." Elder Archer whispered to Elder Rosalie, who swallowed hard. "The pack will be forced to believe that Elder Freya can get away with anything."

"And not only that, they would replace out that the Alpha has no say when it comes to the elders. They should be working together with us to fight our enemies, but here we are trying to stop Elder Freya's bad manners."

A part of me wanted to blame Naya for this trouble, but right now, she was battling her soul back from whatever spirit was trying to possess her. In a way, I felt sorry for the little wolf. I would definitely need her sarcastic mouth.

Whatever was possessing her had to have a good reason. It was taking hours for Dr. Ali to call her body temperature, which was warmer than normal.

The last update I received on her was that she was sweating profusely. It was better to wrap up this meeting and go see her.

Elder Rosalie cleared her throat, stepping forward; her expression showed that she now recognized the seriousness of the situation. She had better say something that was useful to everyone. "Alright. Instead of taking this matter to the Elder Council, we will solve it here. We must ensure that our pack remains united and that such incidents do not happen again. I saw what happened. You saw what happened. It wasn't because Naya was omega."

Elder Freya took it indignantly. "Elder Rosalie... Are you going to allow them?"

"Elder Freya, you have violated our code and hurt a member of the pack."

"I thought you were all trying to punish me for putting an Alpha in place. Does it mean I am right?" Elder Freya smirked.

I close my eyes in frustration. She was right. Besides, her punishment for this was just going to be simple. She would be locked away, but still fed and taken care of. She just wouldn't be allowed to use her powers. It was infuriating. "Naya! Wait!" I heard it from a distance.

We all turned our heads to replace Naya walking towards us with determination. It was like earlier, but different. Her eyes were all purple, and her aura changed. Could it be the purple lady? Her hair was purple. Why didn't she change into her powers when Elder Freya was doing all that to her?

I could see the red bruises on her neckline. Those hands that held her throat were real.

"Elder Freya, you will be punished for disrespecting the Aloha of the Wolf Cove Pack." Naya's eyes shimmered with strength and power. It was like nothing I had ever seen in an elder. If we all considered Elder Freya strong, she was nothing compared to this. "Sh**t!" I whispered as Naya smirked wickedly. It was her power speaking through her. Dr. Ali was about to stop her when Elder Rosalie held him back.

"Leave her. It's no longer Naya who's there. There's a supreme power controlling her. It's this look that I love watching. Now you all can see why my power isn't so useless." Elder Rosalie smiled proudly.

Elder Freya narrowed her eyes on Naya. "What do you want?"

'The elderly one said I should give you a message."

To my shock, everyone bowed their heads in reverence. I blinked uncontrollably as Naya's body was no longer on the floor. Her hands and legs were floating, and her eyes were raised to the heavens. Elder Freya heaved in fear as she went to her knees.

"Oh my goodness!" Kyle's eyes widened as Naya pointed her sharp index fingers at Elder Freya. It was the same picture we had of the elderly one in our library.

The aura, the magic, and the venom that came with those hands of accusation were scary and horrifying. The shocking part was that Naya was in that same position.

Her angry eyes flashed on Elder Freya, who was trembling.

"The people are dissatisfied with your actions, Freya. You touched my daughter, and I am disappointed in you. For this, your powers will be taken from you. You will work with my sister's creations to ensure peace and harmony. If you fail to adhere to my instructions, I will destroy you just as I created you."

"No!" Elder Freya began to weep. Her eyes sipped white substances, which I considered her tears. "I am your daughter too. This is the first time; why is my punishment so harsh?"

Naya faced the rest of the elders, whose heads were bowed in reverence. She wasn't the Naya I knew. Her mouth wasn't snarky, and neither was she standing in a strange way. I swore I saw the elderly woman's face flash a bit through her. It was amazing and, at the same time, terrific. "I am disappointed in all of you. You should have stopped her.

What laws govern this place?" She sighed in exasperation.

Then she turned her icy purple pupils on me, scaring the sh*t out of me. "My sister has placed her total trust in you. I hope you can turn this realm around."

I bowed a bit. "I am a young Alpha. With her guidance, I can do as she has said."

Naya floated closer to me. "You have her guidance already.

What is stopping you from receiving it?"

I frowned, wondering what she was saying. "How?"

Naya chuckled in amusement. "I have to leave now. This pack is amusing."
