Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

The Next Day:-

Maya had spent the entire night studying the Forrester file. She had made some phone calls to double check on things and had a few insights to offer to them. If, after introduction, they decided that they are not going to ask for her help, she would gladly give them to whoever takes up the case.

She completed her usual workout routine and checked on the progress of her team. After a lengthy discussion with her team last night, she had decided to take only Jeff to the initial meeting. Jeff usually kept his head and didn't lose his temper easily. The rest of the team were given time off till a decision was made on whether or not they will be working on this project.

The Council Headquarters:

Justin and Ken reached the Council Headquarters. They made their way to the office main building where a secretary met them and took them to the Councilman Dylan's office.

"Good Morning, Mr. Dylan. The people from the Forrester pack are here to meet you.", she introduced them.

Dylan nodded to her and said, "Alpha Forrester and Elder Forrester, please take a seat. The Team Leader of Wrath of the Moon will be with us within a few minutes."

"Councilman Dylan." Justin started, "How... How is...? Where?" He couldn't seem to complete his sentence, words were getting stuck in his throat.

Fortunately, the door opened and Dylan didn't have to pretend to not understand what he meant. Anger towards his attitude was rippling just under the surface. Jeff walked in and greeted the people inside, "Good morning, gentlemen. Hello, I am Jeff from Wrath of the Moon."

"Team Leader Jeff..." began Ken. However Jeff put up his hand and said, "The Team Leader is on the way. She stopped by the secretary to pick up the files describing your case."

Just as Jeff finished talking, a knock on the door sounded and the door opened. Maya walked in with the air of confidence and took her seat. "Gentlemen.", she greeted lightly, placing the file in front of her.

"M..Ma..Maya.. you? Here? How? What?" Ken stuttered.

"Alpha Forrester, please restrain yourself. I haven't omitted your title. I suggest you afford the same respect to me. I don't take disrespect towards me or my team lightly.", Maya replied in a firm voice with her brows furrowed a little. Jeff slanted a glance at her and then looked back towards the Forresters. His posture grew more relaxed. Dylan was also showing a hint of a smile.

Elder Justin was the first to recover from the shock of seeing her alive and well. He placed a hand on his son's arm and began, "Excuse us. We are just surprised to see you here, Team Leader Maya Forrester."

"It's understandable. Also, I go by Maya Wright now.", Maya stated. Justin flinched as if slapped across the face. To give up the family name was to clearly state that she didn't want to be considered a part of family. It was a rejection of her bloodline and of him as her father.
