Chapter 24.

John's POV.

We sat in Connor's room for a while. It wasn't to long before Bête Marcus came back.

" It is time for dinner. Follow me. " he says.

We leave the room and all follow him to the packs dinning room.

It's really big. There wasn't many people there. We sat down and plates of food were set in front of us.

We thanked them before we started eating. Part way through the Bête looked at me.

" Alpha Conan says you're here for you're packs concern and Connors. Is this true?" He asked.

I looked at my father. He nodded. " Yes, it's true. " I say.

He scratched part of his head. " I-is Cassandra there?" He asks.

" Yes Sir. " I say.

" Is she safe?" Says Bête Marcus.

" Yes she is. " I say.

" There's more. Tell me. " he says.

" She has found her mate. " I say.

His eyes widen. " My daughter has found her mate! Who is he? Does he treat her right?" He asks.

" She is mated to Alpha George's son Kurt, and yes. He treats her right. " I say.

He stared shocked for a minute. " My daughters going to be a Luna soon?"

We nod. " What about Clayton and yes, even Connor?" He asks.

" They both found their mates as well." I say.

He smiles. " Now I see why you're more willing to help Connor. Who is he mated to?" Asks Bête Marcus.

" My sister Amber." I say.

He looks at my father. " Seriously?" He asks.

My father nods. " What happened and how they met is a really long story. He's proven his innocence. I'm here to support my daughters mate and protect my pack. " says my father.

" Clayton is mated to his daughter Tasha. " I say pointing to Tasha's father.

" I'm sorry about this pack war stuff. I hope it never comes to that. Alpha Conan can be really stubborn sometimes. Mostly since the Luna was killed. I haven't picked a side and I won't until I hear what you have to say to Alpha Conan. " says Bête Marcus.

" Thank you Sir. We hope it won't come down to a pack war also. " I say.

He nods and we continue to eat. I can't help, but to notice a smile never left Bête Marcus's face.

Soon we were done eating. " Thank you for the food." We tell him.

He smiled. " I'll tell our cooks you enjoyed the food. It'll make them really happy. " he says.

We smile. " So you came all this way to talk to Alpha Conan?" Says Bête Marcus.

" Yes Sir. " I say.

" So you believe Connor so much to the point of coming here and risking a pack war and you're own safety to prove his innocence?" Asks Bête Marcus.

" Yes Sir. " I say.

" Like I said, I'm not picking sides. I really hope this meeting with him goes well tomorrow. " says Bête Marcus.

" I do too Sir. " I say.

Soon we go to bed. By morning we eat alone, then we wait in the room.

I'm really nervous to be honest. " Don't be nervous John. You'll do fine. " says my father.

I nod. It's all I can do. Soon we eat lunch and wait in the room yet again until it's 1:45.

That's when Bête Marcus walks up. " John. Follow me. Alpha is ready for you. " says Bête Marcus.

I look at my father and he nods at me in reassurance. I then follow Bête Marcus down towards the pack meeting room.

My father told me not to be nervous, but I can't help it right now.

After all Connor has told me about Alpha Conan I can't help, but to be nervous being face to face with him.

We make it to the door. It is now two. " You ready for this John?" Says Bête Marcus.

I take a deep breath and nod before letting the breath go.

" Don't be nervous. I'll be there the entire time. " says Bête Marcus.

I nod and feel just a tab better knowing he will be there, even if I barely know him.

He opens the door and we walk in. The second I step into the room, I feel the huge power of authority from Alpha Conan.

Bête Marcus walks to his spot next to Alpha Conan and sits down. I stand there in the middle.

" I assume you're here on Alpha George's behalf. " he states.

I nod. " Yes Sir. " I say.

Alpha Conan growls. " I told him I was not coming. He's got a choice. Give me that Mutt, or pack war. He's got a time limit and if it's not met. The pack war will start. " snapped Alpha Conan.

Crap. This is going to be harder then I thought. " Alpha Conan. We understand. We hope it doesn't come to a pack war and we are trying all we can to prevent it. Alpha George wants to meet up and explain the situation. " I say.

" What's hard to get?! That Mutt killed my mate!! He deserves to rot in prison or die!! " snarled Alpha Conan.

" We understand you're anger on this Alpha Conan. Alpha George just doesn't want to make any rash moves. We have heard only one side of the story. That's why we want to meet. We would like to hear you're side of the story. " I say.

" You sound just like you're father. Trying to make reason out of serious situations. " says Alpha Conan.

Bête Marcus slightly smiled. " We have kids and they would be put in danger of it comes to a pack war Sir. I..." I say, but he interrupted me.

" You've meet him, haven't you?" He asks.

" Yes Sir. " I say.

" What is you're opinion on this?" He asks.

" I believe him right now, but I've only heard his side of the story. I'm still a bit cautious. I'd be more open to making my decision about this situation if I knew you're side of the story as well. " I say.

" I think you should do it Alpha. " says Bête Marcus.

" Why?" He says.

" I think it would be for the best if we had this meeting." Says Bête Marcus.

" For the best!! You're questioning my motives?!!" He snarled.

" No Alpha Conan. John has a point though. The packs safety. There are children in both our packs and we can't risk putting them in danger for a situation that could be settled over a meeting. " says Bête Marcus.

That seemed to calm Alpha Conan a little. " Do you have any of my other escaped prisoners?" He asks.

" Yes Sir. Alpha Benjamin came over to our pack yesterday with two of them. We have them in our pack prison. " I say.

" Leave this room. We will talk over it and give you an answer in ten minutes. " says Alpha Conan.

I bow my head in respect to him. " Yes Alpha Conan. " I say before turning and walking out.

When I'm outside and the door is closed I stand and wait.

Holy crap. That was intense. Alpha Conan is really scary. I see what Connor means now.

I said I was cautious about Connor still because my goal was to get a meeting with him. I was cautious at first, but I trust him.

Ten minutes passed before the door opened and I was called back in. I walked in and looked at them.

" We have talked about it and I have decided, I will come and meet with you're Alpha. We will leave in three hours. " says Alpha Conan.

A huge wave of relief flows through me. " Thank you Alpha Conan. " I say.

He manages a small smile. " You are so much like you're father. Go tell him the news. Bête Marcus will come and get you when it's time to leave. " says Alpha Conan.

" Yes Alpha Conan. " I say. I then turn and walk out the door.

Holy crap I did it. I smile. Hopefully this won't end in a pack war after all, and with that I walk to the room to tell them the news.
