Chapter 480 Stand With Raven
Chapter 480 Stand With Raven
“So this is what your so–called leadership looks like? Kicking someone to the curb the moment they’ve served their purpose?”
The cold, cutting voice rang out just as the heavy doors of the meeting room were kicked open.
Randolph, Deputy Commander of the Sirius Pack, strode in with over a dozen of his top officers behind him, their presence as sharp and unyielding as drawn steel.
The expressions of the Military’s senior leadership shifted the moment they saw who had entered–dark, guarded, brimming with displeasure.
“Who let you in?”
“This is a closed session for high command. You barge in here like this–do you have no respect for order?”
Randolph stood tall and unmoved. “I’m here on behalf of Raven.”
His gaze swept across the room like a blade, voice hard with fury. “Many of you in this room were once pulled back from the brink of death by the Sirius Pack–and now you want to expel our Commander from the Military? Do you people even have a conscience?”
“This is a decision made by high command,” Alton snapped coldly. “It’s not your place to question it, Deputy Commander. Take your men and get out.”
But none of them moved. Randolph and his soldiers stood firm, unmoved by Alton’s authority.
“You’re defying a direct order now?” Alton’s voice cracked with rage. “Disobey again and I’ll strip you of your rank right here!”
“You won’t have to.”
With a steely look in his eyes, Randolph reached up and tore the Sirius Pack emblem from his chest. He threw it onto the table with a sharp clack.
“If Raven is to be cast out, then count me out too.”
One by one, the Sirius Pack soldiers behind him followed suit–pulling the badges from their uniforms and tossing them onto the table without a second’s hesitation.
“I stand with my Commander and my Deputy Commander.”
“I stand with my Commander.”
Their voices echoed in unison, firm and unyielding. Alton slammed his palm against the table, face so dark it looked like a storm was about to break. “Is this mutiny?!”
“We’re not here to interfere with high command’s decisions,” Randolph replied, his voice loud and clear, “but we have every right to make our position known. The Sirius Pack exists because of Raven. If she leaves the Military–then the Sirius Pack no longer exists in Vyrdenia.”
He turned, and in that moment, the pack stood taller than ever. “With Raven, we rise and fall.”
Lorne, watching from the sidelines, let out a slow, relieved breath and smiled. “As expected of Raven’s men. True Vyrdenian blood, through and through.”
But the senior officers of the Military weren’t smiling. Their faces had gone from cold to thunderous.
“What is this? Treason? Are you threatening the Military?”
“We’ve poured countless resources into training you, and now you turn around and raise a blade at the hand that fed you?” Randolph scoffed, voice laced with contempt. “You’ve got it backward. It wasn’t the Military that made us who we are–it was Raven. If not for her, the Sirius Pack wouldn’t exist.”
Alton sneered. “General Drakon, just look at the kind of warriors Raven’s raised.
“I don’t know if they’re loyal to Vyrdenia… or to her. But with what I’m seeing now, if Raven ever chose to rebel, they’d be the first to follow her.”
“Rebel?” Lorne finally stepped forward, laughing coldly. “If Raven wanted to take Vyrdenia, do you really think you’d still be sitting here, whining and wagging your tongues?”
The room fell into dead silence.
He wasn’t wrong. If this matter didn’t involve th Successfully unlocked! led ‘leaders‘ wouldn’t have dared say a word
against Raven.
Alton hesitated, then let out a long sigh. “General Drakon, this isn’t about what we want anymore. It’s the Parsons family. Benson made it clear–if Raven isn’t expelled, they’ll send Robert, Mr. Brown’s right–hand, to ‘negotiate.’
“Mr. Brown never meddles in worldly affairs. If Robert shows up, that means things are going to escalate.”

He looked at Lome with solemn eyes. “General, I know you trust Raven. You were the one who promoted her, and I know
you’re close. But now is not the time for personal loyalty. You’re the highest–ranking officer in the Military. You need to think of the bigger picture.”
