Elijah was the leader of the border warriors, these warriors were stationed at every border of the southern pack, but a few days ago, Cane mobilized them to gather in the Riverside pack using his golden stamp.
Of course, Alpha Gill knew about this, but in his mind, these warriors were gathered in his pack to defend him against the Red Claw pack, since he received news about how Alpha Dristan was marching here with some royal warriors, asking for his responsibility for the death of the fourth prince and also his involvement with the lycan, thinking he had a hand in this matter.
Who would have thought all of this was actually part of Cane’s plan? However, with the death of Alpha Gill, the plan had changed and what Sir Elijah heard next made his jaw drop.
"Alpha Cane!" Sir Elijah approached Cane, once he saw the Alpha. He was about to protest, stressing how he was lied to by him.
Because of the golden stamp that Cane held, he could mobilize all the royal warriors as he liked, no questions asked, but what Sir Elijah learned once he arrived was something that made him fume. He was asked to defend the Riverside pack against the Red Claw pack?! His men were trained to avoid conflicts between the packs, not to support one of them.
But, now he was ordered to surround the other four alphas inside the main hall?! What kind of sick game was Alpha Cane playing at?! Did the King know about this?
Yet, before a word of protest could slip past his lips, Cane showed him the golden stamp, as if reminding him of how there shouldn’t be any questions to be asked from him.
"Alpha!" Sir Elijah cried out, but he couldn’t say anything upon seeing how dark Cane’s expression was right now and how he was drenched in blood. Whose blood was that?
"I will only say it once, so listen carefully," Cane said, emphasizing every word slowly, so he could hear him clearly. "You will lead your men to slaughter all the people inside the main hall."
"What?!" Sir Elijah was taken aback with what Cane ordered him to do, he took a step back. "You can’t do that..." But, after saying that, he corrected himself, remembering the golden stamp in his hand. "We- we need to inform the King!"
Cane was not happy to hear his command being denied. He glanced at Oliver, who was standing beside him. "Arrest him and put him in the dungeon. You will lead the border warriors."
"Alpha!" Sir Elijah screamed at the top of his lungs, as he fought Oliver and two more warriors, yet he couldn’t shift into his beast, since he was bound to his duty. It was already wrong of him to question Cane in the first place and he couldn’t afford a second offense. "You are going to kill the four alphas from the southern packs! How will you explain this to the King?!"
No. It was not four, but all five of them, leaving Cane as the only alpha in the south.
"Alpha! You can’t abuse the golden stamp! Alpha Cane, the King will not be pleased with your decision! Alpha!" Sir Elijah was furious when Oliver forced down a leaf of Rottingbane, which could make him unable to shift into his beast, something that you would give to slaves, down his throat.
After that, the two warriors dragged Sir Elijah to the dungeon, while Oliver did what Cane ordered him to do.
On the other hand, those border warriors couldn’t do anything when they watched their leader being dragged away. Even Sir Elijah couldn’t do anything with the golden stamp in the picture, much less them...
