An owl flew on the horizon and finally saw its landing point.
It flew down into the watch tower and landed on someone’s arm.
Leman pulled his hand down and gently ruffled the feathers of the bird.
The door was opened, and a servant omega hurried in.
"My lord." He bowed to Leman.
"Go and find Alpha Bale. Let him know that message has arrived for him." He instructed.
The boy bowed. "Yes, my lord."
He started to head towards the door when Leman stopped.
"And one more thing." Leman said.
The boy turned around.
"Be discreet. Just as always." He said.
The boy bowed. "Of course, my lord."
And then he opened the door and smelt out of the room.
He hurried down the clock tower steps and raced onward.
The boy has been in the Moonlight pack his entire life, and he was merely age twenty-five.
Still an Omega, he was glad to know that him of all other boys, even men had been chosen to Honor their pack.
He hurried towards the castle stairs and once he was within sight he acted normal.
Walking as if he was indeed not in a hurry.
He knew that with the slightest mistake.
If anything went wrong, he could be dead in an instant.
He went past the new guards and saw the flag that bore the pack of the Crescent’s pack invasion and grimaced.
How much he hated them.
It was well over eight months since the attack, and now they were running out of time.
If the guards knew what he was doing, he would be executed.
No one was allowed to trade information about Alpha Xaden or any sort of gatherings, which were strictly prohibited and punishable by death.
So he, of all people, knows that he has to be as discreet.
He hurried into the kitchen and picked up the tray of food that had been made for Alpha Bale.
"Is it already time for his lunch?" The head cook asked.
The previous head cook had been a member of their pack but Alpha Xaden’s second in command garwick had replaced him with one of their own.
Every single member of their pack who had been the head over something had been pulled out from their stations.
The head of the kitchen, the head cook, the head cleaner, the head trainer, the head gardener, every single one of them had bell forcefully taken out and replaced by members of the crescent pack.
It was their way of exerting dominance.
That way, people would not be allowed to betray them.
That way The leaders of the Crescent pack could simply monitor their movements at least until the new moon.
The day of reckoning.
"Yes." The boy lied as he collected the tray. "The Alpha was not feeling so well, so the Luna Maria requested that his meal be brought to him earlier."
The head chef gave him a warning look. "You had better not be lying to me, boy."
