Chapter 25 Jackson Pov

• The more I stayed in this meeting with the councilmen, I realized what a waste of my time it had been. If only Drake had sucked up his cold, then I wouldn't be here with this pretentious wolves who were all greedy. The same ones I complained to about Eliot being a greedy and shady wolf but they did nothing and overlooked his nasty ways. The same men who are trying to condemn me for choosing a Packless Luna. They are the same ones who had pushed their daughters to me, wanting them to become the next Luna of Blood Moon Pack but I turned them all down for I know they all were greedy old fools who didn't want to die or retire yet and let young minds take over this good for nothing council which does nothing but accept bribes from corrupt Alpha's and different Packs. The only thing that disappoints me is that all these men belong to the Elite class and they should uphold that name instead they are acting like money-thirsty fools who haven't seen a gold bar before. They punish those poor wolves that steal but they don't know they are the bigger thieves.
• What hypocrites!
• It's in this situation that I envy Simon. This was exactly one of the reasons he was running from being the Beta of the Blood Moon Pack. He has a low tolerance for this. When my father was still alive, he once punched a councilman's son for trying to assault Athena when she was still a little girl. Although Father punished him, I could still see the proud smile on his face for defending her. Simon refused to apologize to the councilman's son instead he wanted to punch him again. That made most people in the council to dislike him but it also made them not to mess with Simon. That was one of the reasons I admired my little brother. I used to be a pushover but that all changed when my father died and I took over the Pack. I knew I had people to protect. Before, I would have listened to the people and the council in the case of Amelia not been my Luna but these days, they can all go and fuck themselves for all I care. Amelia is here to stay and nothing is ever going to make me take her back to Crescent Pack. They are all just wasting their time. I know that they have tried everything to take me out as the Alpha, putting in one of their useless sons but it seems like the Moon goddess is on my side in being the Alpha. Nothing they do these days moves me and they know that they need me. If I leave as the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, the pack would be open to different attacks and they can't risk it. So no matter what they try, I am here to stay, whether they want it or not.
