In the blink of an eye, another two weeks had passed and the moment Rhett had been waiting for finally arrived. The time to take the fight to the vampires was nigh.
So much had happened during these two weeks. Kylo was kept in isolation due to his dwindling mental health, receiving healing and therapy from Aceco herself.
The pain of losing his girlfriend to his father and then losing his true mate to death mere hours after he met her was just too much.
Within these two weeks, Rhett and Isleen also began making their relationship more public as their love blossomed. Some supported them, but many within the pack criticized them still, calling Isleen a betrayer for going after her boyfriend’s father.
But through all this, Rhett held Isleen close, comforting her and being the rock she desperately needed. The scorn from the people only helped their bond to go deeper than even the mate bond.
Anyway, the vampires had taken over so many territories around the world, but their main headquarters, where the vampire Lord also resided, was known as the ’Underworld’.
There was not much known about the underworld, but it was widely known that it was located underground, to protect the vampires from sunlight.
Currently, Rhett and the leaders of the humans and fey were gathered around a round table in a hall in Alpha Beowulf’s duplex. The Alpha himself wasn’t of much importance in the meeting but was present since it was his house.
Rhett was against the idea at first, not wanting to burden her, but eventually, Isleen was also allowed to join the meeting due to her important special ability.
Standing for the humans was a man who was the president of the United States and two women and two men representing other countries in the G7.
As for the fey, the fairy Queen, Aceco, the elven King, and the Queen of the nymphs were gathered to represent them in this meeting.
Rhett, Alpha Beowulf, Isleen, and a few other Alphas of some of the most notable packs in the world were representing the werewolves.
To begin the meeting, the fairy Queen cleared her throat with a solemn tone. "Have the werewolf scouts been able to gather any new information on the layout of the underworld?"
That question was directed at Rhett, who as the chosen one, was made in charge of the entire allied military of the werewolves.
Rhett sighed before shaking his head. "Nothing new, unfortunately. I was hoping the fey would have some new information instead. The vampires are very cunning, especially with the vampire Lord backing them."
The human leaders mumbled among themselves, and soon enough, the president representing the United States and North America scoffed. "It’s been two weeks, Gamma Rhett. Time is not on our side. The more time we waste, the more chance we give to those bloodsuckers to turn our people and add them to their ranks."
"Enough." The fairy king, who’d remained silent all this while, finally blurted with a frustrated tone.
He also held a wooden staff that had a blue magic crystal floating at the top.
When the werewolves obeyed his words, the elven king continued after a brief pause. "We aren’t leaving this room any time soon if we don’t come up with a way forward. As we’ve all mentioned... Time is running out. The vampires continue to increase their ranks by reducing the human population. On top of that, their attacks on Enchantee have become more defined these past few days. It’s only a matter of time before we all fall under their pressure."
The atmosphere in the room became solemn as the human and wolf leaders lowered their heads.
Rhett rolled his eyes, wondering how hard it was for them to act united. Unfortunately, it seemed werewolves and humans had more similarities than either side was willing to admit.
After several seconds of silence, the nymph Queen suddenly stretched out her palm, causing some vines to sprout out of the ground. The vines held a large detailed map which she placed on the table for everyone to see.
"Behold, the underworld." She muttered solemnly as all eyes landed on the map.
Now what did they have here...?
