“That chair is dormant, and you are a Hand,” Lucas Vanhill said. 

“I am also a Balyeav. Since my brother is the Lord, I am the only one to represent my mother’s family unless we ask her to come and represent her family herself,” Abelardo said, sounding a bit impatient, and they were silent. 

“Not necessary, but there are certain documents to sign before you can head the council. Sir Abelardo. It is the law. Your father made that seat vacant by refusing to let your mother ascend the seat. It is okay if you want to assume the responsibility, but there are documents to sign to put that into action. Vino Lawrence will head this one at least for today until all necessary measures are taken,” Joan said cautiously. 

“Very well, I still represent the Balyeavs in all matters. Should there be a need for a vote, I would carry the Balyeav vote,” Abelardo said; they could not dispute that, so they were silent. It was now time for the back and forth to begin. 

Larry was the first to stand and address all of us. Since Makhailovs were indisposed, the responsibility fell on him. 

“We all know why we are here today,” he said, clearing his throat. 

“I will bring you up to speed for those who do not know,” he said, looking at the alphas from each region to ensure he had their attention. 

“Three nights ago, Darius Hand, acting in the lord’s capacity, made a massive arrest, arresting alphas, council members, mates and so on. He arrested people, randomly targeting them. Took over the council prison by

force by installing his enforcers and was unapologetic about it,” He said, and many people gasped. 

“We have a report that states some people were beaten up and denied their rights. We have a witness that claimed they saw the people Darius Hand arrested, requesting that they be brought before this council for a fair trial. He did not only deny them but threw them into prison. 

We tried reaching out to him in good faith, but he refused to respond. He acted as if he was above the law and could do as he liked. Right now, we do not know his victims‘ condition, nor know if they are still alive. This tyrannical behaviour should not be allowed to stand,” Larry said, and people began to murmur. 

“As a lord. Darius Hand protects and serves us. Every suspect has the right to be brought before this council. He locked some up in the dungeon in his estate, and when it was filled up, he took over the prison. We can’t allow this. So today, the council has decided to relieve him of his status as lord and try him for violating the people’s basic rights,” Larry said, and everyone grumbled. It was clear it did not sit well with some people. 

“We do not want a war; leave Hand alone,” I heard some alphas say, afraid of what I might do. My family’s reputation was really strong. 

“I object!” Casey said, standing up, and everyone was silent. 

“This council will make no such decision without me and my colleagues‘ points of view in consideration,” he said, and there was silence. 

It was clear the council wanted the regional leaders to refrain from speaking. 

They were supposed to table Casey’s letter instead of what they tabled. They feared losing power before getting rid of me. 

Removing me as lord meant anyone would be installed as King. I bet Casey saw it coming. He made the best move.

“I object to this nonsense. I sent a letter yesterday, and that is what we are here to discuss,” he said, tabling the fundamental matter. 

“Eh, Alpha Albert, we have to deal with the issue before discussing your matter,” Larry tried to explain. 

“The issue at hand and the matter we are discussing are one and the same. The council no longer wants a lord, and I agree,” He said, and there was total silence because the implications of his words meant the council had 

Won. 

“I do not want a lord because this lordship thing has not helped us. There is a terrorist group trying to cause war by all means, and there is no way to catch them because of the stupid laws and protocols we have to follow. 

Recently we let a suspect go because we couldn’t pin anything on her. How can we succeed under these stringent laws that favour criminals?” He said, referring to Lori. No one wanted to let her go, but we could not pin anything on her, which still baffles me. 

“This system could also be corrupt, which is why I see a few empty council seats. I do not want a lord but a King.” he said, and people were surprised. 

“A king does not need to follow protocol. He does what he must for his people. Sixty per cent of my region has been taken by the traitors. What has this council done? Nothing. 

I am sure Lord Hand had to do what he did for peace. I wrote to this council a few months ago to make specific complaints. Nothing was done. 

My Beta calls, and all he keeps getting is that they are working on it. For how long do we want to go on like this? The system is corrupt. We are on the verge of war, and the perpetrators are faceless. I want a king, and I say we take a vote. 

I want a king and the original order restored with Darius Hand as King

and the other three families as the lords. That is what I want. Because he is the only one I know who has the balls to do what this council failed to do. 

He single–handedly slowed down their activities in my region, and you want him to step down for putting the safety of the people first? 

You want to disgrace him for locking up suspects so we can breathe and think straight? 

Jake Brighton’s pack was destroyed by an order passed by this council. Even though they claim it was from Lord Hand, we later discovered that he knew nothing of it, and the council failed to confirm whether he authorised it. 

Is the council not supposed to keep the lord in check? Then why authorise taxes to be increased and a pack to be attacked? Why did this council not challenge the order? 

! 

Lord Hand has to be a tyrant, so we can survive these faceless people. He is doing what he must. 

Though slow to solve the problems our region has faced, the council is quick to condemn the one person who has done something about the situation. 

However crude, it was necessary. 

Is the council a part of this group, or are they just complacent?” he asked. and the members of the council became worried and agitated. None of their names was on our lists, so I knew they were not involved, but Casey‘ s words got to them.
