[-In the strategy room of the mansion-]

The aftermath of the sudden infiltration of some feral vampires on their borders raised an issue of security.

​​

Undeniable concern which alarms everyone in the Golden Moon Pack.

Beta Garrett, the other executive officers of the Golden Moon, and the elders were trying to come up with the best defensive strategy while waiting for the response of their Alpha King.

Just in case for the worst case scenario, Beta Garrett must come up with all possible strategy to protect everyone in the Golden Moon Pack and prepare a counter-attack against any possible threats.

This was the first time for Beta Garrett to have a full responsibility and total command on the Golden Moon Pack since their Alpha King gave him the authority to take charge in his behalf.

"I approve with the recommendation of Oliver. We will triple the numbers of patrol units around our borders. There will be curfews even after we loosen the restrictions and life the lock down protocol. Each corner of the territory will have active warriors in place. We will not rely on the incoming reinforcement. Instead we will maximize all our resources and increase our defenses and our production of goods." Beta Garrett informed to everyone present in the room.

Some of elders wondered.

"I know this is for our safety and all. But how will our farmers and other residents produce more goods if there is a curfew in place? Curfews and other restrictions will surely limit the movement of each individuals within the territory. It seems too much if you ask me." Jane's father, Mayor O'donelle was skeptic with the recommendations of Oliver and the other plans of Beta Garrett.

"We can make it possible through adding more manpower in the task. If we have to increase the budget for it then so be it. An increased amount of reserved good for our relief programs and emergency stocks must also be replenished since we have used a portion of it." Beta Garrett explained to Mayor O'donelle.

Lady Giselle added, "Will you just tell us the completely … what is the status quo regarding this vampire outbreak? Our numbers will suffer, Garrett! Half of the entire army of the Golden Moon Pack is currently in the royal palace serving as the royal guards of the royal family. Meaning …"

Oliver helped Beta Garrett in explaining to the elders.

"Yes … Our man power is not the same as before. Due to the current bulk demand of task. Though, we can rely on the remaining rogue residents to help us with the farming. They have shown great cooperation with us since our Alpha King became the king of the rogue werewolves." Oliver elaborated.

When the elders were about to complain once more, at the mention of utilizing the support and cooperation of the rogue werewolves.

Beta Garrett reminded everyone.

"This is not the time for us to doubt each other and be suspicious. We are past that phase already. We must join hands due to the urgency and common enemy we have. This is why, we need to go this length because I just received a report that it will take time for the reinforcement to arrive."

He continued, "We must be prepared even for the worst case scenario. That's why we asked for the permission of the elders to help us as well because based on the reports. King Lionel has declared his expansion. Meaning, an all-out war to any kingdom that will be an obstacle to his expansion. The treaty signed by the vampires are now revoked. It is not yet completely out there! But I just received a report from the royal palace after sending them our request for reinforcement."

A gasp and worried reaction filled the room.

"Be calm! We cannot panic at this time. One thing I have learned from our late Luna …" Beta Garrett mentioned one of the things taught by Selene.

At the mention of their Luna, Selene, the ambiance in the room became serious.

"Never show weakness to those who depends on you. Especially to your opponents. The least we can do is give our enemies the satisfaction from our suffering and misery. The Golden Moon Pack must thrive through resilience and determination. We can get through this! As long we work together and work as one. Success will never be impossible." Beta Garrett encouraged everyone.

Not to give up …

Not to panic …

And not to break under the fear of despair.

Soon as their strategy meeting and planning were over.

Everyone left one by one and went ahead to their corresponding task.

While Beta Garrett went back to his main office with Oliver.

Until they saw Lady Sonja guiding someone hooded and masking his own scent.

"Lady Sonja … who is with you?" Beta Garrett stopped from his tracks as he asked their chief-of-staff.

The chief-of-staff, Lady Sonja was reluctant because it was not her plan to inform Beta Garrett about in the midst of his obligations.

Before Beta Garrett could utter more words, the hooded guy revealed himself.

"It's me, Georgie!"

"Oh, Georgie! Why do you need to hide your scent and move with so much discretion?" Beta Garrett wondered.

Georgie thought over and assessed the situation if it was right to involve Beta Garrett about it.

"We can talk about it privately. I am in trouble because of Freddie." Georgie replied.

"Trouble?" Both Oliver and Beta Garrett became curious regarding Georgie.

All of them went to the main office and concealed the fact that Georgie was around.
