At the end, I allow Teny to advise me against going to the war alone.
“We need to sought things out before we do things. Don't forget, whatever you do will in some ways affect the pack.
Any miscalculations on your pack might lead to the demise of this pack.” Gently placing his hand on my back, he gives me an encouraging pat.
“Let's go then. The earlier we go there, the more time it gives in planning our next action. We need to sought things out before this gets out of hand.”
“Okay.”

“The Alpha have sent the last warning to us. He intends to lead a war should we delay in giving him feedback.”
“Then let him start the war. I am ready to take him head on.”
It's being long since I've had any cause to fight. The war might be a let out for my pent-up anger.
“We can't afford to have him wage war against us.” Teny voiced out.
“And why's that?” Narrowing a glare at my best friend and Beta who's supposed to be supporting me.
“We're lesser compared to the thousands who're standing with him. Should we wage this war, I don't think we're going to be any match for the fiery pack and their allies.”
“And what of ours? We have allies, right? Or have forgotten?”
Teny looked down, “They all withdrew their help, none of them wants to fight against the fiery pack.”
“Why should they!” I growl in anger. My wolf on the verge of losing itself.
“They want to avoid being caught in a cross fire with the Alpha of the fiery pack.” Teny lowered his head when his wolf felt the presence of mine.
The Alpha in me wanting an out.
“Traitors. How can they withdraw their supports in a time when we needed them most?” I hit my fist on the table, startling the elders who've been watching us ever since we started arguing.
“They had to do that.” Elder Cari stands from her almighty chair, “had another pack being in the same kind of predicament as we're in now, I highly doubt we wouldn't have withdrawn ours as well.
We would have done as they did now.”
“Speak for yourself, Cari. You know I can never abandon a pack I swore alliance to, not even in their time of trouble.”
“You're not the same with them, I agree, but you can't compare your life with theirs. Not every one has a sense of honour like you do.”
“Then they're not worthy of being called allies. Who calls themselves allies when they can't even help the person they claimed to be allied with?” I pace the floors.
“I don't blame them.” Elder Tima says, “withdrawing their supports is one of the ways they can protect their pack. As an Alpha, your pack is the most important thing to you in the entire world, is your pack.
Presently, I know your love for your pack is the reason you're not giving up. Not only are you reluctant to give up your post, but you're not sure of the person you're giving up your post for.
You don't know if they can be trusted to take care of your pack as much as you would have done.”
I don't know how, but he got exactly what I am feeling.
“You see the reason I can't allow him take over, why can't I allow him to rule my pack.”
There's no way I am going to willingly allow him take over a pack he's not aware of.
He wasn't there when the pack started, neither was he there when things went down hill for us. He knows absolutely nothing of the pack he's trying to take.
“But giving up is the best thing to do in this instance. We're not to be compared with the werewolves of the fiery pack. The war isn't one that'll end in our favour. There's no way we can be able to defeat them.”
“There's no telling what might happen. You might be surprised to see us doing what you think impossible.” I smirk, “Strength isn't attributed to physical properties, neither is it attributed to the number of fighters you have, it's in here.” I point to my heart. “Get ready, we're going to war against the pack.
I am not giving up until I am totally sure it's over. Giving up now isn't an option at all.” I clench my palm into a fist.
“Dess you really need to think on what you're going to do. There's no way we can win the war with how little our warriors are.”
“We'll still fight. Surrendering freely isn't an option at all.”
I won't willingly give up both my pack and my position of the Alpha to someone, without a fight.
I can never do something as stupid as that.
“Alpha Dess, you really need to think more on this.”
“At the strike of the cloud, we assemble. This is going to end today. I'll give the Alpha of the fiery pack what he wants.” I smirk devilishly as I thought on how I'll hang the head of the stupid Alpha, and make use of it as an example to others who might try to follow his steps.
“You will give up your title? You're freely giving the pack to him?" Teny asked in alarm, the elders all looking like They're in some sort of cloud nine.
“I am going to give them war.
It seems he wants war, that's what he'll get. Prepare the warriors, we will settle all the scores today. I won't allow this problem see the light of day again. We'll solve it today.” Giving Teny the order, I walk out of the judgement room, and towards my building.
Presently, I have some things to do, and that's to plan for a battle.
I've let things escalate for a long time now, it's not time to stop everything. It's time to show them not to mess with me and my pack.
