Darius
“I am not a fool and refuse to be treated as one. Today this whole charade stops. I want Darius Hand as King, and we should take a vote,” Casey said, livid.
There was no way those things he said were rehearsed. He meant every word.
The murmur was so loud after Casey’s speech that Vino had to bang the gavel.
“We are sorry for your grievances, Alpha Albert, and If I had known anything of it, I would have personally seen to it that your matter is resolved.” Vino said to Casey gently, and Casey ignored him.
“However, you alone can not decide you want a King. We should vote,” He said, and Hardy stood up.
“I agree, and so does alpha Christian, so please get on with it. We do not have time to waste. We have all suffered the same things,” Hardy said, and Larry cleared her throat.
“Those are compelling allegations. If a group of people is trying to cause war, we have to investigate it. We also have to be sure this isn’t a plan by Hand to force this to happen.” Larry said, and there was uproar.
I realised many people wanted to change the order and the system.
“How dare you!” I heard some people say. Mostly western Alphas because the noise was more in their section.

“How dare you! I say we vote and get this over with,” Some people from the southern loge said.
“I say we carry out this vote just as Alpha Albert requested. This is the most useless council in history, and we no longer want the council in power. This democracy isn’t working for us.
Wolves need a leader, not leaders. They need one they would follow that would have absolute control. That is how best we function. This system has almost altered our nature and caused unnecessary behaviour.
I agree with Alpha Albert and Alpha Corrigan that we take the vote now and move on.” Christian said, and from the look on the faces of the council, they already knew how this would go.
I had the majority votes of the nobles and the head Alphas. I was going to be King.
Vino banged the gavel with difficulty this time and stood up.
“Very well, this council would take a vote; the head alphas would take a vote, and the elite families would vote. I will be standing in for my family and my late Aunts‘ family,” he said, and we did not see that coming.
The Babanins were nobles too.
Casey got up immediately to speak.
I knew he did not like Vino.
I did not know why or whether anything had transpired between them, but he seemed to hate the Lawrence family.
“The Lawrence have no business voting in this, Vino. You are not a true northern noble family. The last King might have given your ancestors noble status, but you have no rights here,” Casey repeated what he had once said, and everyone was silent.||

Casey’s words had hurt Vino. I had never seen Vino so angry before.
“How dare you, Albert! How dare you belittle my family like this?” he asked with his alpha command. He was strong, but Casey wasn’t a weak Alpha; it brushed past him like nothing.
“Say I am lying, and I will rest my case. Only true northern elites can be involved in a matter like this. You can vote on behalf of the Babanin by proxy, but that is it. Lawrence would have no say in this other than the council vote; they will have no votes as nobles,” Casey said with his Alpha command, and everyone was silent.
The man was a powerful Alpha. Thinking of the strength he wielded, I realised that he was just stupid and weak where Lori was concerned. What an irony.
Everyone was silent, and Casey won the argument.
The vote was cast, and Vino, Joan and Pamela voted in my favour. I was surprised that Vino voted that I be King after all Casey said to him.
He should have voted against it knowing it was Casey’s cause.
The alphas cast their votes, and all four of them, even Sean, voted in favour that I become King.
When the noble families voted, they all agreed that I become King.
Even Vino used the Babanin’s seat to vote in my favour, there it was; I was no longer Lord of the north but King of our world.
The inauguration was set for the next week, but because of that vote, I could start acting as a king, meaning no one could question me or ask me to explain myself again.
I hoped we had not created a monster for the ones that would come after
- me.

I looked at my mate and kissed her hand to ensure this would not destroy us in the future; we must instil strong values in our children.
I was grateful to everyone who voted in my favour and was glad that part
was over.
It was time to start questioning, and Ramsey was the first on my list.
Vino came to my booth to congratulate me.
“Your Majesty,” he said with a broad smile and looked at Zora and smiled. He always smiled at Zora. I suspected he had a crush on her, one he could not act on.
“Thank you for the vote, Vino. I will try my best to serve,” I said, and he bowed his head.
“Do you mind telling me what The Makailovs and the Peakmans did?” he asked curiously.
“They belong to a group,” I said, and he looked confused.
“A treasonous group,” I added, and he nodded understandingly.
“Very well then, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes,” he said, and I
smiled.
“No one would want to be in their shoes, and trust me, by the time I am done with them, people will feel very sorry for them,” I said with a promise in my tone.
He congratulated me again and congratulated Marcel and Raphael on their lordship. I looked at where Larry was, and he was unhappy about the outcome. The man genuinely hated me, and I did not know why.
We stayed a while in the council hall while I bumped Casey. Hardy and Christian up to noble status; my reasons were clear. I will only work with people I trust.
