Chapter 4

“Sorry Adele but Eldon asked me not to bring you there” I apologize and I look at her but surprised to see no reaction on her face. Absolutely nothing reflects on her face! But she was just so cheerful a few minutes ago! Adele nods and turns back towards the pack house. Eric, our beta comes to me and we walk towards the clearing. Eldon is standing on the platform and the two rogues are standing in front of him openly glaring at Eldon.  I hate rogues; no I don’t mean Adele. She is good but rogues in general are bad news. They do not respect anyone and do not bow in front of any Alpha. I walk and stand beside Eldon as other pack members come and stand on the ground creating a circle. Everyone looks towards the rogues with fear as they bought the message of war. “Bow” Eldon commands as the rogues continue glaring at him. Our pack warriors are holding the two rogues from behind so they behave. Both rogue’s hands are tied behind their back by silver, yet they refuse to fall on their knees or bow. “I said bow down!” Eldon commands again increasing his volume but still they don’t budge. Eldon nods and the warriors place a silver knife at their throat. But to my awe they still don’t budge. None of them speak anything nor bowing. Then all of a sudden they fall on their knees and bow down their heads, Eldon chuckles and then stops with confusion on his face. That’s because the rogues have turned their head and body a bit and is facing away from Eldon and bowing, but to whom? We all turn our head and see Adele standing on the left side of the clearing. The rogues fully turn and bow down their head in respect towards her. WTF!? Why are they bowing their heads in front of her? Then the Adele standing in front of us disappears completely and we can see a completely a different Adele standing in her place. She reflects power, not that happy cheerful vibe she was reflecting minutes ago. There is a powerful vibe around her. I look at her in awe as Eldon looks uncertain. He is irritated and then a tiny teeny bit of proud. I smile at him. Adele steps forward and walks towards us and comes to stand on the platform beside us. And right now she looks like a female version of Eldon, so serious and calm. If I didn’t have seen her laughing before probably right now I wouldn’t have thought that she knows how to smile, so serene, calm and powerful. “Why are you here?” Adele demands as she looks at the rogues. One of the rogues with blonde hair looks up and says “Alpha, we had no information about you. We are here to take you back. We need you.” I'm sure everyone’s mouth is hanging open including me. Alpha!? Adele!? What is this? “Why did you declare war?” Adele questions with a bold voice and full of authority. I look at her in amazement as how come she changed so swiftly? “Alpha, we thought they have taken you. I apologize.” the blonde says and bows down again. “I want them released.” Adele demands as she turns towards Eldon. Eldon comes out of his surprise and then shakes his head.  “No, we can’t release them. They are danger to us.” Eldon replies and he stands up. “Very well” Adele says and turns towards the blonde. “Beta Ron, break the chains” Adele commands and blondie I mean Ron stands and breaks the silver chain in half! Incredible! Eldon steps ahead to say something but before him Adele cuts in, “They have done no harm to your pack and are here just as a messenger. According to pack laws you cannot keep them here as prisoners.” She states with a straight face as she walks off the platform and moves towards Ron.  She squats down in front him and takes his burned hands in hers and closes her eyes and in few seconds Ron's hand is healed! I gasp shocked for the second time. She is a healer too!!! And to think that Eldon thought that she isn’t capable of being Luna incredible! She is a strong wolf. I’m sure Eldon regrets his decision now. Adele moves toward the other rogue and helps him and all three of them stand up together to their full height. Adele comes back to the platform and faces them. “Gamma Nick step forward.” she commands as the other man steps forward and bows and stand. “Tell me the situation.” “Alpha, some rogues attacked us in your absence. We have kept them in dungeons for now waiting for your command. Some of those rogue’s wants to join our pack." he says and looks up towards Adele. She nods and speaks, “I’ll be there soon. Keep them in the dungeons, I want you to increase the security near the cells and increase patrolling units." The gamma nods and steps back. “Alpha we have some more news for you.” Beta Ron says and steps forward. Adele nods and hooks her thumb in loop of her jean's waistband. “There are few members who want to claim themselves as our new Alpha. They think you aren't fit for the position.” “I never claimed to be an Alpha Ron. I told you I’m just a commander. It’s you and the members who call me Alpha. I don’t ask for Alpha chivalry but I do demand all of your respect as your commander. Now how many members are there?” Adele asks. “Five. One of them is a juvenile.” “A juvenile, all right” Adele smiles. “Prepare a fight. As soon as I return, we will fight for the right of the commander.” she completes and Ron nods.
