Chapter 79: SEVENTY-NINE
Summoned
Lucas and Ava woke up in the morning and continued with their lovemaking from where they’d
stopped last night. It was such a beautiful morning and no one could imagine anything ruining such a
wonderful day that started out so perfectly, until the sound of the knock on the door was heard. Of
course, it was important if not no one would dare to disturb the alpha at such a time. Lucas grabbed the
sheets and covered Ava and himself in it, before letting the disturber in.
“What is it, Kiron?”
“Apologies for interrupting master, but it is a matter of dire urgency.”
“I know that, otherwise you wouldn’t be here, would you?” Lucas shot him a scowl.
“N-no master, of course I wouldn’t be.”
“Then why are you here?”
“The supreme messenger has arrived sire, he is here to see you.”
“The supreme messenger? What is it this time?”
“I don’t know sire; he just arrived this morning and he requests your presence immediately.”
It definitely couldn’t be about the peace ball, so what was the messenger here for this time
around? Like his personal guard, Lucas had no clue himself, but whatever it was he knew it had to be
important.
“Ok, tell him I’ll be down with him soon.”
Kiron bowed, “Yes master.”
As soon as Kiron left the room, Ava began to ask. “Why is the messenger here to see you again,
Lucas?”
“I don’t know precious.”
“I hope you’re not in danger?”
“Not likely, otherwise the danger would have come here itself instead.” YAWNS…. “Let me go
down and see what he is here for, then I’ll come back to bed when I’m done.”
“Ok, don’t be long,” she touched his lips with her finger, smiling seductively.
Lucas planted a kiss on her cheek before getting down from the bed and entering the bathroom to
take a quick shower. He then went into his closet and put on his clothes.
“I’ll come back for you precious, wait for me here,” he muttered as he left his chambers.
“I’ll be waiting for you,” she whispered behind him.

Kiron followed behind Alpha Lucas as he went to meet with the supreme messenger, Dillion in the
guest hall.
“Greetings Alpha Lucas De’ Clan.”
“Greetings messenger Dillion, I trust you had a smooth journey here?”
“Quite smooth indeed, thank you.”
So, what brings you here this fine morning?
“It’s from the supreme council, they summon the presence of the leaders of the dawn pack
immediately.”
“Did they give the reason for this sudden request? And are any other pack leaders involved?”
“No Alpha Lucas. The reason for the summon was not given, and the message was exclusively
meant for the leadership of the dawn pack.”
“Very well then, is that all you came to deliver?”
“Yes, Alpha Lucas. I will be on my way now, and the council expects that you heed to the call on
time.”
“Tell the council that I will think about it… Kiron!”
“Yes master?”
“Escort the messenger on his way out.”
“Yes master.”
Messenger Dillion bowed. “The message has been delivered alpha Lucas, and the council will be
expecting you anytime from now.”
Lucas nodded his head in dismissal of the messenger, who then left the sanctuary with Kiron.
“Cian!!!”
It took a while before the beta answered the call, entering into the hall where the alpha stood.
“Yes master?”
The council has summoned our leadership immediately, but you will not be coming along with the
gamma and I. You will be staying here to run things in the packhouse and protect them temporarily
while Filip and I are gone. I trust you’ll do well in this assignment.”
Cian bowed his head. “Yes master. I will not disappoint.”
“Call Filip and let him get one of the guards to prepare the vehicle. We leave immediately.”

He said he would come back to her as soon as he was done with the messenger this morning, but
he still hadn’t come at all… even for breakfast. Nani had no clue where he went, so she had to eat all
alone in his chambers in the morning. She didn’t like it one bit, why was this meeting of his with the
messenger taking so long? NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Enough of waiting… she decided to go downstairs to see what was the matter. She went to the
guest hall, where the alpha usually attends to those who come from beyond the border to see him, but
no one was there. The breakfast table had already been cleared in the empty dining hall, so there was
no one around to ask; everyone had retired to their quarters. Everyone except her friend Kiara… Ava
remembered how she mentioned she always goes to the garden after breakfast, she probably should
be there by now.
Ava went to the garden to look for Kiara. She was there, but she wasn’t there alone, she was with
Cian, and she was kissing him, they had their bodies tangled together. Ava who mistakenly saw what
was going on, was about to turn to leave before the couple spotted her and broke free from each other.
“Oh, I am so sorry Kiara… I didn’t know that you’d be umm…. Occupied….” Ava blushed as her
words trailed off.
Cian turned and hid his face after being caught in such an embarrassing situation before Kiara
smiled and patted him assuringly on the hand, giving him a ‘she already knows’ kind of look. He then
hid his surprise and nodded his head for her to speak with Ava.
“You were looking for me?” Kiara turned away from him and asked her.
“Ummm… yes, I was looking for my mate. He left the bedroom this morning and didn’t return
since.”
“I don’t know where he is Ava, I haven’t seen him today at all.”
Cian interrupted then. “He didn’t tell you where he went?”
Ava gave him a puzzling look that gave out the sign of her ignorance before returning the question.
“Did he go somewhere?”
