80 The right to contest a decision …

My head jerked up as I stared at Alpha Renwick hoping he was joking but he didn’t seem to be .

Jeremy and Nathan remained quiet , their faces blank without any expression while a few of the Alphas present were as surprised as I was .

“ Is that supposed to be a joke , Renwick ? ” Alpha Calder snorted .

“ Who are you to go against the words of Alpha Logan ? You were all here … you all bore witness to the day he announced Nathan Tanner – son of his Beta Jeremy Tanner as his heir .

In our last meeting , three days before he met his death , he still reassured us of his heir and asked that we pressure the Lycan Leader … ” 

“ No need to go into details , Calder , ” Renwick interrupted , rolling his eyes with exasperation .

“ At least hear me out before you make conclusions .

” 

“ It’ll do us good if you learn to say everything at once , ” Alpha Grant chirped .

“ You’re fond of raising our hackles for no reason .

Please explain to us now and clearly why Nathan Tanner cannot become Alpha .

“ ” 

Alpha Renwick sighed before he began .

“ It is true that we all bore witnesses to Alpha Logan naming Nathan Tanner as his heir but there is a complication .

Someone is challenging Nathan’s claim to the Alpha sceptre .

In fact , we received word from the Lycan Leader himself – Alpha Ramsey to conduct another election to determine the new Alpha and to judge fairly .

” 

“ Is that why he sent his Beta to come to our meetings ? ” Alpha Rowan asked quietly , casting a disdainful gaze towards Lenny , where he was sitting .

Lenny rose to his feet , a blank look on his face too .

“ I know you’re all displeased with me being 

here … ” 

“ And rightly so .

This is the council of Werewolves and not some Lycan meeting .

Things are not done the way you Lycan’s do it .

I’m afraid that will impact the result .

” 

Alpha Triston hissed .

He seemed to be aware of the entire situation before today .

“ It is good as the report that would still be sent to the Lycan Leader later on ,” Lenny continued , without showing signs of being affected by Alpha Triston’s words .

“ As soon as my purpose is fulfilled , I will leave and you can continue with your meeting .

” 

There was silence for a while , each of the Alpha adjusting in their seats , clearly uncomfortable with Lenny’s presence but in the end , it was Alpha Myra who broke the tense silence .

“ We don’t have all day .

Whoever is opposing the appointment of Nathan Tanner as the Alpha should come forward and give us reasons .

” 

The rest of the Alpha murmured in agreement .

As if on cue , the heavy iron doors at the end of the hall slowly opened .

A figure emerged and started approaching the centre of the hall , where the light was strongest .

There was something familiar about the figure but it wasn’t until it drew nearer that I understood why it had seemed so familiar .

80 The right to contest a decision … 

It was my mother – Luna Vanessa .

She came to stand next to me , putting enough space between us without bothering to glance in my direction .

Her chin was held high , her eyes were cold as stone as her gaze travelled the length of the room , particularly lingering on Alpha Myra as if she had a beef with her .

My heart pounded with fear as I stared at my mom .

All the times I lived in Blue Ridge , she paid little or no attention to Pack politics .

She hated going to meetings with my dad , always complaining about it being boring .

Seeing her here … with the expression she wore on her face … 

It wasn’t one of grief or humility – it was one of power , authority and a hint of malice .

“ Mom ? ” I managed unable to stop myself and rushed towards her , grabbing her hands .

Just before I could reach for her hand , she turned to me , her piercing gaze meeting mine for a second , freezing my steps .

She looked at me with nothing but pure hatred before turning and taking another step forward .

“ It is me ! ” she finally said .

“ I , Vanessa Tyrion Woodland , daughter of Alpha Tyrion and widow to Alpha Logan stand before this Council , asking for the dismissal of the Alpha Heir appointed by my husband and mate .

” 

Most of the Alphas didn’t believe their ears , they were too stunned to speak and the silence stretched with my mother still standing , looking regal .

“ What did you say , Luna Vanessa ? ” Alpha Calder whose mouth was open a moment ago suddenly shot from his seat , annoyance visible in his eyes .

“ You dare go against the wishes of your mate ? Have you no respect for him ? ” 

My mom’s eyebrows shot as she directed her gaze slowly towards Calder , a smirk forming on her lips .

“ It is because I have so much respect for him that I am doing this .

If Logan was here today , he would have agreed with me .

” 

“ Agreed with you ? ” Alpha Grant scoffed shaking his head .

“ You wanted to contest his selection of an heir , why didn’t you come to us ? Why complicate it and invite the White Moon Throne ? Haven’t we resolved issues far greater than this before ? ” 

“ Well , none of them has ever favoured me ,” my mother replied quietly “ But that’s not why we’re here .

I am here to contest Nathan’s claim to the Alpha seat of the Blue Ridge Pack , ” she repeated 

for the second time .

O 

“ Mother , ” I took a step towards her , as I whispered , “ Please don’t do this .

” 

But she acted like I wasn’t in the room .

“ And what claim do you make ? ” Alpha Myra pressed , gazing at her curiously .

My mother’s gaze swept the room before coming to focus on Nathan and his father .

“ For years , I’ve watched my husband rule this council and give it the prestige with which it boosts of now … ” 

“ We’re not interested in history , Luna Vanessa ,” Alpha Myra interrupted .

“ Go straight to the point .

” 

“ If you do not want to hear , history , then you can leave , Myra ,” my mother fired back .

“ After all ,

80 The right to contest a decision … 

Alpha Myra’s eyes widened with shock as she tried to speak but failed .

Calmly , my mother turned to the council and continued speaking .

“ Still he governed and brought joy to lots of packs and families by his choices but he never prioritised our family’s best interests .

You see , Logan is so selfless and would do anything for anyone even if it cost him .

” She lifted her chin , a fierce glint in her eyes .

“ Alpha Logan may have chosen an heir , but in his absence , his widow has the right to challenge that decision , particularly when it may destabilize the strength of our pack .
