Chapter 23: Chapter 23

"May I have your attention pls"

And everywhere went dead quiet. It was the very first meeting of this year and the alpha of not just this pack but 2 others was addressing us. I just Hope it goes well most important I didn't want to make a scene at least not in the presence of all this top officials around.

"I... Am Alpha Scott Hale. And this is my beloved mate Catherine Hale and yes to cure your curiosity she is human but don't hold that again her because she may not have brutal strength but she is stronger than she looks"

With that he kissed her on the lips right in front of everyone and they all awwned while the little one only screamed ewww cooties. I giggles at their public display of affection as i paid rapt attention to his speech.

"Ehem. For years it has quit the hand full being the Alpha, having to take care of all the needs of over a 1000 werewolves there mate and not to mention There families as well. I couldn't do it alone. I needed help someone i could trust, someone I Knew that when the chips are down he would never betray me."

Whao this speech is really intense and by the time I looked around I saw the serious looks on everybody's  faces even Cecilia my worst nightmare was looking serious and so I paid attention to this speech again

"Of course it was a tough decision. A tough one indeed but my mate suggest the first son of my fathers beta, I looked into it and saw that not only was he my best friend he was like a brother to me a right hand man and soo I decide that Gerald Michael kumar would be my Beta and the leader of this very pack house.

while I would be the leader of the one in Louisiana. we were Able to Handel the werewolves that was put under us but as time grew so did the families in the pack house and it Was no longer big enough to house us any more. It was at that point I have to elect a new leader. In person of Cassandra Joan kumar the daughter and the second born of Gewndolyn sandra kumar my father's Beta Who is no more with us... May her soul rest in peace."

After a minutes of silence to honour her departure he continued his speech which was now making me sleepy but I couldn't give in go the sleep. Even though its after 7am in the Morning and I'd probably still be sleeping by now if I was in Nigeria.

"And now you have it. I your alpha have two leaders who happen to be the first and second children of my fathers Beta Gerald is the leader of this pack in New York while his younger sister Cassandra is the leader of the Pack house in Canada.

And of course the last born of my father is beta Gwendolyn Sandra Kumar, in person of Harvey Arnold, he's mate and children live with me in Louisiana. With that out of the way I'd like to call on the leader of this pack house Gerald Michael kumar to take over."

With that he left the stage and everyone applauded his exist and the entry of the next speaker. As I watched him climb the staircase to the  stage from where he will be speaking I saw Eliot and his siblings beaming with pride as his father took the stage to say a word or two before they begin proper introduction

"Good day everyone, I am Gerald  Michael Kumar and I am the first born son of my mother Gwendolyn Sandra Kumar. it had been an honour to serve you all not just as a leader but has a beta to our lovely Alpha Scott Hale."

"As you know it hasn't been an easy one especially since the upcoming War we've been having several attacks on our park house and I'm just thrilled that nobody has sustained any severe injury no as any lives been lost in the process. but in due time we heard the news that my step-brother has an heir one that is going to lead us out of this perpetual war and rumours of War because I believe that if we can work together standing side-by-side we can do anything."

After his speech people gave him another round of applause because indeed he did hit the nail on the head with his introductory speech he cleared his throat again to show that he wasn't done talking and everybody kept quiet to let him speak

"Before we start the introduction and family reunion I'd like to call on Dracula to share a word or two."

After that everybody give a round of applause again to encourage Dracula to say a word or two he was hesitant at first but then after enough cajoling form his wife he finally stood up from his seat walked up to the stage shared he's on point of view

"Greetings from California I am Count Dracula the vlad Dracula and I'm here because I have seen that what you believe in I could too. And so I'm here with my entire household to meet and make friends be family with yours so that in the nearest future there will be no cause for arguments even if there is we can walk together to find a way round it.  on behalf of my family and that of the Ravana we say thank you for having us."

Taking the stage again was Gerald and he began the introduction.

"it is no news that werewolves move in Park and each pack requires an alpha leader that would provide food shelter water and every other thing that that Park would require to survive. There are seven strong and acknowledged alphas in a werewolf world the rest are upcoming.

Although not all of them are present here because not all of them belong here there is one who still stands as the number 3 out of all seven of them and that person is our Alpha Scott Hale."

He stood up for a few minutes for recognize before Gerald continued

"My late mother Gwendolyn Sandra kumar who married jason Rune was his late father's Beta that is Alpha peter Hale And soo that resulted into me being his sons Beta I am not the only child I have siblings who are are also right here in this room. In person of Cassandra Joan my younger sister and Harvey Arnold my younger brother pls stand up for recognition."

They all stood for recognition immediately before sitting back down then he completed his speech by introducing to everyone their mates and children as well

"I am Gerald Michael Kumar and this is my mate Anastasia Mikayla Kumar and this are my kids Abraham Colton the first son, Cecilia shira the second and Derry Eliot out last born."

After he has finished this part is younger sister came up the stage to the same

"I am Cassandra Joan and this is my mate Zane mikulski who happens to be a fairy we have three kids as well and they are our son kenzo finn who is a werewolf, our daughter Breeya Bobbi a fairly and our last daughter Aadya Cato who's a fairy as well"

Then the last child of the kumar family came up to introduce himself and his family before they left the stage for the vampires

"I am Harvey Arnold kumar and this is my mate hailey swift who happens to be human we have three daughters and they are. zoey Johnson who is human as well, Maya Chloe a runt and Hermione Cassy a full wolf.

After the werewolf introduction it occurred to me that all of them were bearing kumar which is there  mother's  sunname it was odd because it has come to my attention from what I've learnt over the years that once you get married you trade your father's name for your husband's name but this wasn't the case.

This got me wondering why was Gerald Michael bearing kumar and not Rune. I guess I would have to ask after the meeting because I didn't want to ask now in order not to disrupt the meeting which the vampires we're now in control of the stage.

" I am Dracula as you already know the leader of the Vampires I have two older brothers one leads a different colony and the other we already know he is the reason we have this different mischief And Mayhem anyway,  it's not for me to interfere or Dictate for he is older than me."

" I and my wife Martha laboV Dracula have two daughters and a son and they are Amber our first daughter Damien our son  and Mavis our last daughter. My second in command Ravana will take over from here."

"I am Abigor Oscar Ravana and this is my wife Ariella Mona we have 3 sons the first is Calvin, the second is Kelvin and the last is Melvin and they are all happily married. I'll leave them to introduce themselves now"

" I am Calvin first born son of my father and this is my wife Amber Dracula also the first of her family. We have two kids and they are leandro Thomas and Orazio Drake"

"I am Kelvin the second, I zinged with a human kate sabrina and we have a son Richard Trenton and yes he is a vampire, was there ever a doubt smirks"

"I am Melvin the third, and this is my wife Lenora Talia we have two kids and they are Silvano Noah and Natasha kora."

After the introduction Gerald finally came back stage to introduce my mother and I

" thank you very much for your introductions and now last but not least we have Brenda sage Kumar the wife of Sanjay Otto Kumar my step elder brother and my mothers first child and only child with Abigor Oscar Ravana. The union of my step elder brother and his wife brought forth His Daughter Lora Orra KumarWhom I couldn't be more proud of the call my nephew for I know she only has the strength to end this war. Thanks you."

we took a bow and I smiled nervous but just when my mom and I were about to leave the stage we were standing on while they did our introduction. Gerald asked me to wait and step forward instead and so i could do honours of leading US to breakfast at the dining table.

"I dont know how to thank you all but pls let me express my gratitude in this song learnt from when I was little

Say that I'm crazy or call me a fool

But last night it seemed that I dreamed about you.

When I opened my mouth what came out was a song.

And you knew every word and we all sang along.

To a melody played on the strings of our souls

And a rhythm that rattled us down to the bone

Our love for eachother will live on forever

In every beat of my proud corazón

Our love for each other will live on forever

In every beat of my proud corazón.

It the end of the song everyone had joined in and I chorused to the dinning room everyone chorused it with me as we all gently filled out of the meeting room with me sitting on kenzo's shoulders.
