Koda received a letter from Alpha Cane, it was the reply he got when he wrote about his failure to secure the throne for his great grandson. He wanted Alpha Cane’s suggestion.
Because it was Cane’s suggestion for him to return to the capital city and immediately gather the forces to secure his great grandson’s position, but unfortunately, he was too late and the time was too short to gather all the forces that were needed, thus he had to suffer defeat.
After this, Koda didn’t know what to do. He was not a strategist, especially when the Red Claw pack was without an alpha now until the former alpha should step up again to fill the empty position, while still grieving the death of his son.
"What is it?" Alpha Colter asked. He looked so old as he was supposed to be retired by now, but he couldn’t do that when he was called back to lead the pack again.
The hatred that the Red Claw pack members had for the royal family ran so deep after they learned Lady Cyan had killed their alpha by using dark magic and now, her son was sitting on the throne against the real crown prince.
"Alpha Cane suggested for us to fetch the Serafim. We need to bring the Holy Kingdom to our side," Koda said after he read the letter and then handed it over to Alpha Colter so he could read it himself.
"Hm." Alpha Colter nodded after he read the details of the plan Alpha Cane had suggested for them. "This is a great plan. We need to move quickly and reach the Serafim first before the royals could get their hands on her, even though it will be hard for us to convince the Holy Kingdom to side with us."
"I don’t think so, the Serafim is here because she heard about the rumors of dark magic and if we let her know that the King, who was sitting on the throne right now has a dark witch for a mother, I don’t think it will be hard for us to convince her to be on our side."
Koda read the situation and the hidden meaning behind Cane’s suggestion better. Even though Cane didn’t write it down, they should be smart enough to think about how to convince the Serafim and the Holy Kingdom to side with them after all the information the Alpha had provided.
"Order someone to figure out where the Serafim and her entourage are staying." Alpha Colter had been away for too long from this struggle of power, thus he was a little bit slow with his response.
"Alpha Cane has provided us with the information in the previous letter. The Serafim and her knights are currently in the Winter Moon pack’s harbor."
If the only harbor in the southern kingdom was in the Chrystal Moon pack, then the second harbor was in the Winter Moon pack and the two of them were the only harbors in this continent.
"Good. Good." Alpha Colter nodded in satisfaction. "Alpha Cane has great informants and is quite resourceful. It’s great he is on our side. Too bad he couldn’t send his people to help with the war against the royal family. With seven packs under his control, he has a lot of warriors under his possession." Alpha Colter then looked at Koda. "You must hold onto this alpha and keep him by our side no matter what."
Not only were the southern packs under Cane’s control, but the Alpha himself was also an asset, as he was a great strategist, it would be their greatest loss if Cane changed his stand and supported the royals.
"Don’t worry, Alpha Colter, Alpha Cane and Alan are not on good terms. The one we need to worry about is Prince Kellan, who has fled to the Celestial Moon pack, because Alpha Cane’s father and Alpha Derick were Prince Kellan’s supporters in the past."
Alpha Colter thought about it. "You are right, we need to do something about it."
Koda felt great to work with Alpha Colter again, since he was his beta in the past. "Don’t worry, I have an idea about it."
============================
After half a day on their way to the Silver River pack, they stopped for a while for lunch before they could resume their journey again.
"I am not sure," Ethan said, he shifted back into his human form and approached Iris. "I just realized it when this creature approached us an hour ago." freewebnøvel.com
