Chapter 213
213 Ayla
I had been a little bummed that Rodrick and Isabella couldn’t answer us right away. But I got it, like they said it was a big ask. Maybe too big even. Now I was in Isabella’s office going over all the packs, and who their leaders were. And what I needed to know about them. A good Luna knows everything there is to know about the neighboring packs. As a Queen, however, I needed to know about all packs. I had dreaded this a little bit, as I expected it to be quite boring.
Of course, Isabella made it fun, aside from all the regular files. With all the static information about the packs and their leaders. Isabella had her own little notebook. It was filled with inside information. Not in a vicious way even if she had some choice. words to say about one or two Alpha’s and Luna’s. No, it was little things like “Alpha Mike has a wandering eye” or “Luna Bella loves. the jasmine tea from that small shop in the human mall” Those little snippets of information, and using that when she could. Like getting the jasmine tea if Luna Bella was about to finish. This is what made the leaders of the pack around the country feel so welcomed every time they visited the Silver Moon pack. Now when I take over from Isabella in a few years I would be able to provide the leaders with the same details. The same eye to attention as Isabella had.
If nothing else it would show the leaders how much Isabella supported me as the new Queen of the United States wolf packs.

It also saved me a ton of time in figuring out what every leader liked. Packs would change, and new leaders would take over between today and the day I would take over as the Queen. As they would all during my reign. It would only be adjusting it on the go. Which still would be a lot less hassle than reinventing the wheel would have been.
“Sweetheart, are you ready to go to the meeting hall?” Isabella asked me. Forcing me to give her back the notebook I had been. intently reading.
My neck cracked as I moved my head from right to left. I always find myself in the weirdest positions when I am reading. Now that my neck didn’t feel stiff anymore, I nodded and got out of my chair. If it was not for Isabella I had forgotten all about the meeting we were about to go to. A meeting with Rodrick, Griffin, our Beta’s and Gemma’s, and lead warriors. It had been put on the back burner for a little while. But we needed to make some changes to the laws of this Kingdom, to assure things like what happened to the Blood Moon pack and the wolves living in it would never happen again.

“Thank you for joining us ladies, please have a seat” Rodrick spoke formally. It was not just the four of us now. It meant we needed to be more professional. Of course, everyone present here knew we were close. Still, this was an official meeting about the fate of the country. The Council of Elders would receive the records, not only would they be the ones to organize the trials if a leader would break these new rules. They had a veto right if they

found our new laws to be unfair. So all in all we needed to do this right. Because we were all more than motivated to make this better.
If Alpha Phillip would not have been able to get away with how he ran his pack for so long. If anyone had noticed he would drive away omega’s only keeping high–ranked members in his pack. If it had been clear he did not even let some pack members travel to go see family. Maybe he could have been stopped before, stopped before his son lost his mind. Hindsight was twenty- twenty, all we wanted to do now though was to make sure that things like what I went through never happened again.

“So we keep track of moves to other packs, but write down how big or small the involved packs are now. You know like a general head count. They don’t need to include much personal info. I’m thinking just age, gender, rank.” I suggested it was the first time I was in a meeting about changing the laws of our country. And I thought a lot about how I think we could improve the situation. Still voicing it out loud in such an official setting was a bit nerve- wracking.
“That would surely give us a lot of insides, are you sure about including the gender in that list of needed information though?” Rodrick asked me.
I got where he was coming from, after all normally gender would not have anything to do with moving to other packs. Nor would gender influence your rank, and this system was mostly set in

place so that we could see if all packs welcomed all ranks. To prevent another small pack only consisting of high–ranked wolves. and their offspring. So it would just wither away. So I told Rodrick
SO;
“I get your point, but some leaders still have archaic ideas about genders. I mean even from my own experience. Alpha Philip was far more willing to let a she–wolf omega join our pack. Because according to him she–wolves were weaker anyway. He would not let them apply for all positions either.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Princess Ayla makes a valid point if a pack never accepts new male wolves into their pack. Or if we can see they never have a higher ranking she–wolf for example. It could give us cause to go and visit the pack. To at least check out what is going on?”
Isabella supported me before I had the chance to further explain my reasoning.
“If I may, my daughter is very IT savvy, as you know he went to study ICT at the human college. He has his degree now and is gearing up to come back to the pack permanently.” Saphira, Isabella’s Gemma spoke..

“From what he told me, he should be able to create a program that will spot consistencies that we want to notice. If a pack has

an extraordinary amount of wolves they will cast out leaving them to be rogues. Or if they never let she–wolves leave the pack.” Saphira further explained, and it honestly was a good idea.
Griffin however was the one that got excited.
“I personally believe we should set up a meeting with John, as soon as he gets back here. I have been saying how we need to modernize some of our work. He could help with that, he could be in charge of it. And one of the things we could modernize would be this. We miss things when we are pouring over the details ourselves.” Griffin stated.
There was something off about his voice, and I knew exactly what it was. It was the speaking. He poured over all the information known about the BloodMoon Pack when I was missing only to come up empty–handed again. And I knew he still wasn’t over it. Let’s just hope the others either do not notice or do not mind. Because his idea is valid.
