PREEMINENT LEADERS

“Look who’s ball is coming! Yahoo!” Zephyrus’ feet were leaning on the table while Pyro, Colden, and Raiden were standing. They summoned me for some important discussion that I did not believe was serious when Zephyrus was here.
“Be matured, King Wind.” Raiden laid out the Alpha King’s map. There were some parts that had red marks. “Guess how many packs did Black Wolves invade?”
“One hundred?” Pyro spelled out. His cold eyes were peeking at the map.
“One thousand and one,” Raiden revealed.
We were all startled. “It’s fine. The Alpha King’s World has three thousand packs and counting.” Zephyrus for a miracle had become serious.
“It’s not fine. Those packs they invaded were the most dangerous and skilled warriors. When they came together as one, they could destroy the Elemental Kingdom, even the Alpha Kings can’t defeat them.” Raiden held the circular black rock and rested it to where was the Elemental Kingdom located.
“What’s the plan?” I questioned it.
“Shield the Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, and Lightning Pack. They’ll not attack the Elemental Kingdom first, they’ll go to the smallest pack relating to it.” Raiden opened the book of the kingdom.
I wondered if King Lightning’s brain was mine, would I think the same way as his? He was too clever for a king. He knew the conclusion and other possibilities.
“I think they’ll come first at the Water Pack.” Pyro moved the rock to the part where my inherited pack was located. “They’re not affiliated with us, but King Water has something to do with them.”
“Exactly.” King Lightning agreed to Pyro. “Hali go to the Water Pack tonight. Don’t leave them as long as the attack is not yet happening.” He settled his serious eyes on me. “It’s time for you to provide a command to your people… Be a king.”
I let out a heavy sigh. “I can’t think well. I’m not as clever as you or Pyro. How can I lead them?” Admittedly, I had a little doubt about myself in commanding and decisions. I always ended up as a failure.
“So do we.” Colden and Zephyrus said.
“There’s no way you doubt for yourself.” Pyro leaned his hands on the table. “If you can win Zarya’s heart, the battle is no different.”
“Agreed,” Colden responded.
“Agreed,” Raiden replied.
“Agreed wholeheartedly,” Zephyrus chuckled.
“My balls.” I gazed at the side. “I’ll bring Zarya there.”
“It’s up to you,” Raiden responded. He gazed again at the map. We began the conversation about the different places in the Elemental Kingdom. Fortunately, I studied this matter last night.

“Left! Right!” I was marching back and forth to the front of the guards, teaching them the right angle to hit the enemies.
I was in the Water Pack the night when Raiden said to me what the plan was. They sent battalions of the guard. Khal, Matilda, Zarya, and I were training them day and night. No rest. Only taking a pee or poop was allowed and bathing was just three minutes. That was how intensive the training was.
“Run!” My head moved to the right when I heard Zarya’s voice. She was standing upright with two feet level together. Her hands were fused at the back as her eyes were lion-like staring at the guards. She was a small woman, but the big men were following her. A grin was visible on my lips when I remembered what happened hours ago.
“Why will we listen to a small kid?” The big man was gazing at her feet going up.
“If I were you, go to your mom and play toy.” The laughter was everywhere.
I was about to go near them and defend her when she moved as fast as she could. She was like lightning. No one saw her attacking one of them. We just found out when she was at one’s back and two knives were pointing at his throat.
“Were you saying?” Zarya asked him while threatening the two knives on his neck. She buried a little portion of it, leaving a small bruise.
The big men backed away as their knees trembled. “Are you going to follow me now?”
“Yes.”
“Can’t hear you.”
“Yes!”
She threw the man, resulting in him to lay on the dried soil.
“How ’bout you?” She pointed the knife at the other man.
“Anything for you!”
“Good.” She walked at them, gazing at them, one by one. “I am… Zarya Wixx.”
“Our fault!”
“She’s the Great Beta!”
“Poisonous Strawberry!”
“Lady Of Overkill!”
She glared at them. The ruthlessness was in her expression. The giggling was in her system and the thick personality. She had a lot of improvement.
“Zarya Wixx, The Great Beta, Poisonous Strawberry, and Lady Of Overkill. I won’t force you to listen or follow me but…” She raised the pink powder. “My poison powder has no temper. It’s either it spills to your mouth or my knives will bury to your throats. You, choose.”
The hush in the environment covered the area. That scene spread around to the whole Water Pack. Every time Zarya passed by, they were bowing their heads. I was glad for her achievement.
Khal at first gets the attention of the group assigned to him. They were telling him why did they follow the half-human half-wolf. He did not let them belittle them. He could almost kill one of the man to show them who was boss.
Matilda, in spite of her gorgeous face and beautiful white hair. Men were listening to her. They adored her. Some were trying to give her flowers, but she refused those. Khal was sometimes jealous. However, Matilda showed assurance to him. They told the man who was her lover. By that, Khal could breathe easily.
We had a ten minutes break for eating. I made sure that Zarya would be starving. She looked so tired commanding the people of the pack. We were sleeping in the same room at the Pack House. There were no steamy scenes since we were both exhausted for the whole day. Just cuddling.
I think I will have no problem in the incoming battle. My constituents were preeminent leaders.
