Chapter 144
KOL’S POV
I have a plan.
I am going to talk with the Elementals. Those guys are walking into their doom and they won’t realize it until they are there already.
After this battle, we Elementals are all going to lose these powers we have. We will become ordinary werewolves like the others.
I have been thinking about this on their behalf and it doesn’t settle well for me.
First, two Alphas are involved the issue. Let’s say they win this battle which is not going to happen by the way, there will be another clash about who is going to be the Paramount Alpha between them. The Elementals will just be caught up between.
Also I very well know those two Alphas, they are greedy, selfish, cruel and the last thing they do is keep to their words or promise.
Right now they have promised to go e the Elementals good ranks in their packs, promised them both heaven and earth, but I know once this war is over, none of those promises will be fulfilled.
I can bet my life on that.
They won’t have any special powers and the Alphas won’t see any reason to treat them special.
After this war they are going to be discarded like used tissue, if not killed. I can bet my life on that.
That’s why I have called a meeting between us so we could talk.
First, it will do us some good if we had more Elementals on our side and second, I just want to make them understand what exactly is going.
To table them the reality that they are being used and exploited by the Alphas who claim to love them.
I haven’t told Hardin about this meeting because I know he will never let me leave the pack without security or him accompanying me. Lately he has been over protective and when I want to complain, he says he has the right to be as protective as he is because he’s older than I am.
Ladies and gentlemen, Hardin is just two weeks older than me, but he treats me like he’s five years older.

To avoid argument, I’m only going to tell him once I return.
“And what is the meaning of this?” Lloyd asks rising up from the trunk of the fallen tree the moment I walk towards them.
We are meeting in the same place we used to meet up when I was still in alliance with them.
“What meaning can you give to it?” I ask back with a smirk.
“No meaning at all, just bullshit!”
“Bullshit, aye?” I take a seat among them.
“You know you’ve got some nerve right? Inviting us all here, we could gang up and kill you!”
“No you can’t, none of your Elemental powers can work on me, neither can mine work on you.”
“We shapeshift into our forms and tear you apart right here and now!”
“You won’t have the courage to say that if you ever set eyes on my wolf. Remember, I’ve got Alpha blood flowing in my veins, I can take you all down without breaking a sweat!” I threaten and silence follows my last statement.
My point has definitely been made clear.
“Good, now that I’ve got your attention, let’s talk buddies”
“There is nothing for us to talk about”
“Oh there is, like the fact that you are going to be killed by the same Alphas you serve once this war is over”
“I told he was going to saying rubbish. I’m out of here!” Kevin retaliates.
“Well go on, I won’t be there to save you when your Alpha orders for your execution”
“My Alpha is never going to do that to me”
“You wish”
“What exactly do you want with us?”
“Sit your ass down and I promise to tell you all about it.”
“You just want to keep feeding us with junk information right?”
“Or, have you come to try to convince us to join your alliance” Kevin adds.
“Well, that sounds appealing and you kind of have a point there, but there’s more”
“Do well to enlighten us”
“You do know that after this battle is over, we are all going to lose our powers, become the normal werewolves we used to be”
“That’s correct”
“Reed, whether you accept it or not, it’s a fact and it stands, your Alpha is nothing but a self satisfied fool. He is greedy and he will anything to get that power for himself!”
“Don’t you dare talk about my Aloha like that!” Reed, the fire Elemental warns and I just rolls my eyes.
It’s sickening to listen to him defend that tyrant!
“I will, because that is the truth. We all know how he treats people who are of no use to him, people who have nothing to contribute to his pack. After this war is over and you lose your powers, don’t be surprised that he going to get rid of you”
“Alpha Lance is never going to do that!” He defends yet again and I swear I feel like smashing his head against one of these tree trunks.
“Wanna bet?” I ask stretching my left hand forward to him so he could bet but he looks away. “I thought as much!”
“Will you just go straight to the point already?” Lloyd asks clearly annoyed and I just smile.
“Okay, this is it. All four of us have special powers and whether we like it or not, we are connected in some way. We have kind of a brother bond” I start to explain and Lloyd snorts. “I know you feel that bond too, but none of you are willing to admit it”
“Even if we did, we can’t do anything about it since you have already choosen your side”
“That’s why I’m here to ask us to get on the same side. Join the Wall Street pack, fight with us. You all are aware of my brother’s reputation, the last thing he is, is heartless. If you fight with him and he wins this battle, I can bet on my life that you all will be greatly rewarded. He will welcome you into our pack with open arms after all this over”
“Kol, you really got some nerve to gather us her jutjusts say this bullshit! Look man, we have our Alphas and we are loyal to them. We very well know that if we assist them in this battle, they are going to win and we won’t need to become members of your pack” Lloyd explains.
“Besides what even makes you think that they aren’t using you instead?” That’s Reed. “You are the bastard son right? You were abandoned by your father and the entire pack the moment you were conceived, don’t you find it a bit weird and strange that they all suddenly accepted you?”
“Well, if you were to ask me, I’d say they only my accepted you because of your super powers. You are a great asset to them in this battle and they want to take advantage of you. That’s why your brother is so lovey-dovey with you right now. Wait until this battle is over, they are all gonna treat you like the bastard child you are! It’s so pathetic to watch you travel a thousand miles for people who won’t even take a step for you!” Kevin shoots and I swear it hits me hard.
I feel a wave a pain course through my heart and tears burning in my eyes but I’m not going to let them fall.
I’m not going to show them that their words affect me because I know they are wrong.
My brother is not taking advantage of me and he is certainly not going to discard me once this war is over, that is one thing for sure.
I replace thegloomy look on my face with a smile as I raise my head up to look at them.
“My relationship with my brother is not what you guys have just explained and I’m going to prove that to you sooner or later, for now, may the god of assumptions be with you. Also, you guys are so excited about winning this battle, but you forget to know that even if you do, there’s going to be another clash. We all know after this great war, only one Alpha gets to be edified, gets to become the Paramount Alpha and only one pack gets to be edified as well. Now, the debate is , between your two Alphas who is going to step down for the other to get the powers? Alpha Lance is a greedy nincompoop and hell will have to break loose before he let’s Alpha Ralph have those powers and Alpha Ralph himself is the most ambitious man in the universe, he has such great plans for his pack depends on the power of the staff of Edification to accomplish them. Do you honestly think any of these Alphas will be willing to make that sacrifice for the other?” I ask with all seriousness and they remain quiet as they exchange confused glances. “Let me tell you what is going to happen if you win this war, both your Alpha are going to go against each other, get into war, your packs will be destroyed, the rest of the soldiers will die in battle, your pack members will perish and even you all will die because of the quest for power. It’s not going to end well for any of you, but right now I’m offering each one of you a chance to have a happy end. Join my brother, fight with us and when we have this victory, it will be yours too or if you don’t like my offer, go ahead and fight for your greedy, power hungry Alphas and after this war, none of you will live to see your mates in their first maternity clothes!”
And after giving my speech, I rise up and walk away.
The bewildered expressions on their faces don’t go unnoticed.
I have given them some very delicious food for thought!
