Stella
"I ran back to my room and flipped the light switch off. In the darkness, I could see just fine thanks to my supernatural abilities. I moved to the desk in the corner of the room and sat down in the chair in front of it. My laptop was there, waiting for me to open it.
A moment later, Isabella entered the room. "Why is it so dark in here?" she asked, searching for a light switch.
"Don't worry about it," I called out to her. "I was the one who switched it off."
"Oh…" she whispered and made her way to the adjoining door which led to a smaller room. Her own bedroom, to be precise.
I took out my smartphone from my pocket and made a call.
"Hello Stephen," I whispered the instant he accepted the call. "Have you set up that camera already?"
He sighed deeply before replying. "Yes, I have. Can we stop talking to each other for the meantime? I don't want to have any issues with your son, Oregon."
"I know. I just felt you were the right one for the job. I have one last question. Did you mount the camera well? Did you place it properly? Somewhere I can be able to see everything and everyone?" I asked.
Stephen groaned. He was about to speak when he suddenly interrupted. "Later! Your son just arrived."
"Oh…" I whispered and ended the call, then kept my phone close to the laptop.
I switched it on and saw the video starting with Oregon sitting down. I smiled and nodded. "What a handsome son I have. Look how sweet he looks. Too bad his eyes went to that witch."
I suddenly remembered my last encounter with Oregon and I sighed heavily. I was certain he was thinking it was Stephen who told me about the meeting, whereas I was the master planner.
I was the one who told Stephen to send a message to the elders, begging them to set a meeting with Oregon concerning Vivian. I also told them what I wanted, which was the theme of the meeting.
I stood up and walked to the table, prepared a hot cup of coffee, and walked back to the chair. When I looked at the laptop, I noticed they had already begun the meeting.
I sipped the coffee and placed the cup down slowly before inserting the earbuds into my ears.
"I heard you requested a meeting and you all wanted me at the meeting at all costs," Oregon began, and they all nodded.
"Now, I wonder… What is it about? I'm sure there is a subject. What is the purpose?" he asked, as he raised the bottle of water that was on the desk.
One of the elders cleared his throat and all eyes went to him. "I'm quite surprised that you decided to schedule the meeting so early. We never knew you were this less busy. Probably if you looked more into this pack, you would notice there are things that need fixing. You should have been busy doing that by now," he said, and some laughed mockingly.
"What's wrong with them?" I snarled, clenching my fists in anger.
"Since you all have been busy looking into the pack, can I know what else needs fixing?" Oregon questioned, and everyone kept quiet, while some exchanged glances, looking embarrassed.
I smiled and nodded. "Yes… That's my son," I chuckled.
"Let's just get into the reason we are here. Actually, we called you here to persuade you. We want you to kick that Lycan breeder from the pack," they said.
