Chapter 122: Unilateral Law

Drystan’s POV

A sense of belonging and relief washed over me as I approached the well-worn trails leading into the heart of my home. It has been a long journey, and now I finally found myself gazing upon the familiar territory of my Pack.

Suddenly, the lazy smile on my face was wiped away when I noticed that the landscape beyond our Pack’s borders had changed.

For some reason, tents had sprung up around, ruining the natural view of the Pack. Aside from that, there are also multiple unfamiliar faces going around as if they are legitimate settlers in the area.

I stopped the car and went out to face them. Of all the places where they could stay, they have gathered just inches away from my Pack’s borders, adding a threat to our Pack.

Before I could fully process these unexpected changes and speak to them, their faces suddenly lit up when they recognized me.

“It’s Alpha Drystan! He’s here!”

“Alpha Drystan is here!”

I stood just outside my car with confusion written all over my face until familiar faces finally appeared and approached me.

“Alpha Drystan, we’ve been waiting for you,” one of the Alphas said, his voice tinged with desperation.

I took a look at each one of them, recognizing most of them.

What are they doing here? Why have they gathered outside my Pack?

I told Beta Caden to make them go home because I wouldn’t be coming home soon. Yet, they are here, outside my Pack, making

themselves at home illegally.

“Alpha Drystan, we need to talk to you.”

I took a step back as everyone crowded around me. My brows furrowed, my instinct to protect my Pack warring with my curiosity.” What is the meaning of this?” I asked, gesturing at the camps.

The Alphas exchanged a weighted glance at each other, tension palpable in the air. “We’ve come to you in the hopes of forging a new alliance,” another Alpha explained, his tone grave.”

“Our Packs have so much we could benefit from each other. I believe that we can grow faster together.”

“Alpha Drystan, about the agreement I cancelled last time, I’ve thought about it and realized the huge mistake I have made. Why don’t we continue our agreement? This time, let us widen our partnership.”

I looked at them with disbelief in my eyes as they all tried to talk on top of each other like children desperate for attention.

My jaw tightened as I witnessed their shamelessness and audacity to come here desperately asking for a favour like they hadn’t purposefully offended me before.

None of them even felt remorse or said sorry for the offences they had committed against us.

My expression hardened as their words sank in, and a simmering anger began to rise within me.

“You have the gall to come to my Pack’s doorstep, uninvited and unannounced, and expect me to simply grant you the alliance that you seek?” My voice was low and dangerous, my eyes narrowing as 1 surveyed the gathered Alphas.

“You speak of beneficial partnerships, helping each other out, yet

you conveniently neglected to mention the offences you committed against me and my whole Pack,” I took a step forward, my posture radiating authority and righteous indignation.

—

“The breach of contracts, the humiliation, the rumours you easily believed in without even asking me about it, the betrayal

do you think I have forgotten those transgressions so easily?” My fists clenched at my sides, the muscles in my jaw tightening.

“You have the nerve to stand before me like nothing happened. Your tents are pitched just beyond my territory without my permission, and you are asking for my help.

Is that how little you think of us? That I will forget everything and willingly accept your offers of alliances just because we are a small Pack that has not yet to prove?” I demanded, my voice rising with each word.

“You have no shame, no sense of remorse for the harm you have caused,” I spoke firmly as my gaze swept over them, my anger palpable.

The Alphas shifted uncomfortably. However, I found no guilt in their eyes. Only desperation to form an alliance with my Pack.

They don’t care that they have overstepped, that their actions have consequences. All they think about is the benefits they could have if they form a connection to a Pack that is close to the Shadowfang Pack.

Their desperation was so great that they had been willing to take this risk.

“As werewolves, loyalty is what we value the most. Yet, you Alphas don’t have that very important character.” I paused, my chest heaving with the weight of my emotions.

“From now on, Pack is going to adhere to the Unilateral Law,

where we will no longer form allians or connections with anyone else, Only the Shadowfang Pack and the Frostbite Pack, who had remained loyal to us, can keep the alliance they have with us,” I proclaimed to all of them.

The Alphas exchanged uneasy glances as they realized that they lost the only chance they had to fulfil their dreams of being

connected to the Most Powerful Pack in the world.

The Unilateral Law is the same law that the Shadowfang Pack has. It is a law where a Pack’s strength and survival depend solely on its own self-reliance and independence, Forging bonds to outside Packs is not allowed.

“Alpha Drystan, please allow us to make amends,” all of them pleaded, but my heart was already hardened, and there was nothing that was going to change my mind.
