The Necklace That Protects Me novel Chapter 57

"I cannot speak for my coven, but I will stand with you. I will have to report to my coven about all that's happened. With your permission I'd like to tell them everything." Thomas announced, at the end he looked to me and I nodded. Me being a white wolf was no longer going to be a secret.

"I will also follow you and help you to the best of my ability. I don't know how my coven will feel but when the time comes I will call them to have a meeting." Amy agreed, she seemed very uneasy about her coven.

With everything agreed upon we headed back to the meeting room. All of the alphas were already there, some arguing among themselves, the council members were standing against a wall, taking in the commotion of the alphas. When our entire entourage walked in the room fell silent.

The alphas looked leery of the vampire and witch in our company, however the council look intrigued. Blake seemed to be almost jumping up and down with excitement!

"Never thought I'd see that day when a white wolf surrounded themselves with all of the races!" Blake commented, clapping her hands together with excitement. I hadn't thought about it but I suppose it was true. I had a very close friend of each race, I suppose outside of our group not many can say that. I smiled at her before looking for our seats.

Everyone settled into their spots so the meeting could commence.

"What an interesting trip this has become! I am very thankful to have been present during the unfolding of the white wolf mystery. I speak for the entire council when I say we will offer our full support. The future has been looking worrisome but with this revelation I have hope." Blake said with a glimmer in her eye before continuing in a more serious tone, "Alphas, you will need to decide where your loyalties lie. There is a war coming, make no mistake. It will catch up to us. Alpha Jackson will lead the opposing side, we're sure of it."

"I think we need more information before we can make any sort of choice." One of the alphas stood up and said. The other alphas murmured in agreement.

"I am open to questions. I'm sure Miss Noel would be open to questions within reason as well." Blake replied and smiled at me. A knot turned in my stomach again. I wasn't prepared for this.

Alphas began questioning mostly me but some towards the council. Wanting to know why the council was involved. Blake informed them of the rumors of the male white wolf and that they believe it is Alpha Jackson, they'd been tracking him for awhile and saw this as the perfect opportunity. They asked several questions about me: how I hid my scent, why I hadn't come forward earlier, who all knew who I was, things like that. One question hit me though and I wasn't sure how to answer it.

"I knew them both, we all did," Blake said sadly referring to the other council members, "we didn't know what happened to them.."

"I don't know if they're alive." I admitted, "if anyone has heard any rumors about their whereabouts though I'd love to hear it." No one said anything though, I knew it was a long shot but I'd hoped someone had heard something.

"If there isn't anything else, all other alphas are dismissed. If you feel you're ready to pledge or deny loyalty, then you are free to do so. If you need time to think that is acceptable as well." Gabriel said releasing everyone.

Three alphas stood and declared loyalty and wanted to be a part of whatever we were going to do. The others mostly seemed like they were going to go along but needed to think it through and discuss with their packs. I wished more had come forward but I was thankful for the ones that did. There were two alphas that I didn't think had any intention of being on our side, but time will tell.

Once all the alphas were gone the council remained. They seemed to relax a bit. The witch councilman chatted happily with Amy, learned that his name was Jonathan and he had known any for a long time. Thomas saw them chatting, I saw a pang of jealousy in his face before he hid it and walked up to them.
