**When Broken Stars Drift Across Empty Midnight Skies**

**Chapter 107: Suited**

**Alayah’s p.o.v.**

As I stood before the Pack-house, I was initially taken aback by the sight of the Lycans arrayed in perfect formation. But as I observed them more closely, my admiration deepened. They had managed to position themselves with such stealth that not even a whisper had reached the ears of the Crimson Moon Pack. Topaz, ever the light-hearted spirit, was practically doubled over in laughter, especially as she caught sight of the Warriors at the gate, their expressions a mix of confusion and astonishment at the flags adorning our SUV. Perhaps it was my presence that had thrown them off balance.

It was common knowledge among every Wolf and Lycan about the illustrious history of the Blood Stone Pack—the legendary status it once held. I felt a surge of determination; I was here to restore that legacy, to remind everyone that the Blood Stone Pack was not merely a name but a force to be reckoned with.

Though I knew the Law granted me entry into this territory at any time, I chose to bide my moment, waiting for the Warriors to signal us to advance or for Alpha Randell and Marc to arrive. “The Alpha is waiting for you at the Pack-house, Alayah,” one of the Warriors informed me, his tone respectful yet tinged with a hint of apprehension.

Anton maneuvered the SUV into the territory, and as we drove, every Wolf and Lycan we passed halted to stare at our impressive procession of vehicles heading toward the Pack-house. As the initial shock wore off, many began to follow us, a wave of witnesses to the monumental task that awaited me.

Upon reaching the front porch of the Pack-house, I spotted Alpha Randell, Gamma John, and Marc awaiting our arrival. I had been instructed to remain in the SUV until my Warriors were in position. Bastian, ever the gentleman, approached with a measured gait to open the door for me. Noah was the first to step out, offering his hand to assist me, while Nathan and Nero exited from the opposite side, with Nikolay closely trailing behind.

“Alpha Randell, it is my honor to present to you Alpha Alayah of Blood Stone Pack. She is the rightful Alpha of Blood Stone Pack, and by acknowledging her title, the Blood Stone Pack will reclaim its role as Judge, Jury, and Executioner,” Anton declared. Had this been my first encounter with such a proclamation, I might have rolled my eyes in disbelief. Yet, I understood the importance of making it clear that there would be consequences for those who dared to defy the Law.

Alpha Randell and Marc exchanged incredulous glances, their shock palpable. However, Gamma John, displaying his intelligence and quick thinking, stepped down from the porch to address me directly. “Alpha Alayah, welcome to the Crimson Moon Pack. I presume you are here to retrieve your belongings?” His eyes held a glimmer of understanding, as if he sought to shield Alpha Randell and Marc from the true purpose of my visit, at least for the moment.

“Indeed, John. We are here to collect some of our possessions—just what we can carry in the SUVs. I would greatly appreciate it if the remaining items could be transported to Blood Stone Pack by truck,” my grandfather interjected, and I could see the realization dawn on Alpha Randell, snapping him from his stupor.

“That is acceptable, but Paul, Anton, and Nero must remain. We cannot manage this Pack with just the two of us,” Alpha Randell stated, gesturing to John and himself. “The rest of you may return to your rooms or houses to gather your belongings. Please mark the items that require transport.”

I sensed Nero’s frustration boiling beneath the surface, and instinctively, I stepped in front of him, wrapping my arms around his waist. “Breathe, Nero. By the time we’re finished here, there won’t be an Alpha left standing,” I murmured through our mind-link, feeling him gradually relax as he buried his face into my neck. I needed to ensure that he wouldn’t lash out at Alpha Randell for his dismissive attitude.

“I apologize, Alpha Randell. It seems there has been a misunderstanding regarding our visit. I have come here due to the Laws your family has violated. I am here to deliver judgment and execute the necessary punishment,” I announced, waiting for Anton’s assurance that most Pack members were within earshot. “Let us begin with the most recent crime committed by your family: drugging a young female to fabricate a false Mate-bond.”
