Chapter 86 - The nature of the enemy (1) (2/2)

Those overwhelming feelings were so strong that she knew with certainty that she would be capable of killing without hesitation her former family that she loved with all her heart when she was still human if she had to do so to save any member of her pack.

'Those instincts, it's scary and beautiful at the same time.' She thought as she lowered her gaze in the direction of the reason for all these changes to examine it for the umpteenth time with admiring eyes; the bite that was in the process of healing on her left wrist and which according to the teeth marks could have been inflicted by a human.

Currently, Giulia was in the exact same room where Lazar, Amandla, Buren and Andrew had their meeting last night...

A faint smile grew on her face because she found what was happening here amusing given the context. Three hours ago she was in this room, in her uniform to report to Buren and now she was doing the same thing, in the same place, in the same clothes but not for the same person.

This time she wasn't in front of an extremely intelligent but weak and cowardly man who didn't hesitate to sacrifice his whole regiment to give himself a chance to escape when he felt that his back was against a wall, but in front of individuals that she found much more respectable...

They were the only 4 Alphas of her new species; 2 Ganipotes and 2 Garaches representing the supreme authority for each pack leader and therefore each Ganipote and Garache and who by their strength and their leadership made sure to limit to the minimum the internal conflicts because although within the same pack there were very rarely problems one couldn't say the same thing between packs.

The least one can say about the Alphas was that their strength was far from negligible. Giulia had seen what they were capable of when her regiment had been crushed and it was no wonder that no one dared to contradict them even though their packs represented only a quarter of the total population of the species.

The chewing sounds were coming from a Ganipote and a Garache at the back of the room, they were sitting on the floor feeding on the corpses of two of Giulia's former comrades and didn't seem to care about what the other two Alphas were discussing...

Her pack leader having given her a detailed description of all the Alphas to prevent her from making a mistake in their presence, Giulia understood directly who the two Alphas who were having breakfast were.

Arthur and Louise; their values were similar to the point that their packs had a genuinely friendly relationship, which was extremely rare...

Their 2 packs counted nearly 700 members with a proportion of beta higher than the other packs of Alphas, which they justified by the fact that they were more faithful to their instincts than the others, and although Giulia was doubting the validity of this explanation she was more than willing to believe that they were less civilized than the two other Alphas in general considering what they were doing.
