Chapter 242: Directionally challenged

The meeting with the other packs, that night, was long over before Erick and the others had arrived there. And in conclusion, it was agreed that the Kendall pack will be in charge of the warlocks since they have a powerful seer in their pack who can counterattack them.

So, while the Kendall pack would be interrogating the warlocks, the Cesaro pack was left to deal with the aftermath at the den, together with the bear shifters and as for the Cairin pack, they would need to assist the Kendall pack.

It was the morning after the meeting, when Erick finally brought the three men to meet with his father. This was because Master Silas had wanted to meet the Alpha of Erick's pack. He wanted to meet an Alpha of today's world.

At first, Erick was surprised when he heard Master Silas has been without a pack for decades. This was because he had heard stories about lycan being a rogue, which made Master Silas scoff in derision.

Back then, during the lycan days, although there was an Alpha, it wasn't as abundant as it was today. And of course, Dane's father was one of the true lycan alpha of his pack. And as time passes, of course, the bloodline slowly diminishes. And again, back then, there weren't many problems of lycan being rogue, unless they have a weak mindset or their bloodline was weak.

Hence why Master Silas had told Erick that even though he hasn't been in a pack ever since Dane's father's pack had gone, he was ineffective against the turning of rogue. Master Silas himself held the same bloodline as Dane.

Which brought them to the packhouse where Lachlan continued his discussion from the night before with Ezekiel, Jose and Elder Zyair on their next plan. The three shifters decided to wait at the packhouse for Paxon and Riowins to arrive while the others were either still resting at a nearby motel or had gone home.

They were in the middle of their discussion when Erick had knocked on the door to Lachlan's office. The three of them went silent and looked over at the door. Lachlan then told Erick and the other three to come in.

When Erick entered the office with Master Silas and the other two following behind him, Lachlan cocked an eyebrow in surprise. He did not expect to see guests; people that he did not recognize.

Lachlan looked over at Elder Zyair, who understood his implication. The latter turned to Ezekiel and Jose and guided them to another room where they could wait for Paxon and Riowins to arrive. The two shifters nodded and followed Elder Zyair from behind. Before they left the room, they sneaked a look at Master Silas.

Surprise glinted in their eyes. They could feel the strength in the man's aura. In fact, it was closer to the strength of an Alpha. Or perhaps, even stronger. They began to wonder where Erick had met the man.

After the three shifters left the room, Master Silas turned to his subordinates; Ronan and Toby and said, "You two should wait outside too."

Ronan bowed his head in respect and left the room. Toby, on the other hand, with his eyes wide in surprise, tried to protest. However before he could open his mouth, Ronan had pulled the back of his collar and dragged him out of the room. He then quietly closed the door behind him.

Finally, it was just the three of them in the room.

And to Lachlan and Erick's surprise, Master Silas suddenly kneeled down on one knee with one hand over his heart. And before the two Kendall shifters could comprehend what the other shifter was doing, Master Silas suddenly murmured something under his breath.

Soon after, Master Silas looked up from below, his eyes suddenly glowed a beautiful amber colour. His teeth immediately grew longer into fangs as little wind engulfed around him. Minutes later, the wind swept past Erick and towards Lachlan, enveloping the latter.

Lachlan's eyes grew wide. This was a ritual to join a pack!

He looked over to Erick, who still looked shocked. "Erick, this man is…?" he asked.

"He's a lycan. He's with us," Erick explained quickly. "Is he…?"

Lachlan nodded.

"Then accept him and we'll tell you about everything," Erick answered urgently.

Lachlan nodded again.

Shortly afterwards, the wind that was surrounding Lachlan charged towards his forehead, swooping inside. Lachlan's dark eyes then turned to amber eyes before returning back to normal.

Master Silas stood up after the ritual was done and said politely, "My apologies, Alpha Lachlan for being so abrupt in my request to join your pack."

Lachlan cocked an eyebrow, crossing his arms across his chest as he leaned against his table. Why does it seem like it was more of a demand to join, rather than a request since he unexpectedly pulled out that ritual stunt.

Erick took a step forward and introduced Master Silas to his father. "Alpha, this is Master Silas. He was once a guardian of Dane and again, he's a lycan."

"I'm still Prince Dane's guardian," Master Silas quickly interjected. "And with that, I'm also young Erick's guardian."

Lachlan looked over at Master Silas and said, "I see."

Master Silas then briefly explained about his intention of why he had seeked out Erick and also his intention to bring down Harding and so forth.

Nearly an hour later, Lachlan fully understood the gist of all that had been explained by Master Silas and acknowledged his presence.

But one thing that baffled him. Why now? Why after more than ten years, he finally was able to seek out Erick and Dane?

Curiosity got to Lachlan, making him voice this out.

At first, Master Silas was quiet after hearing the question.

Then to Erick and Lachlan's surprise, they thought they could see a blush covering Master Silas' neck and onto his face.

And with a bit of shame tinted in his low voice, Master Silas answered meekly, "I'm directionally challenged."
