The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega

Chapter 54

***Rowen***

The next morning I woke up to Jax sneaking out of my room, as we had agreed. I heard him have a whispered conversation with the warrior we agreed to place at my door, and with me at all times. After a few minutes I got out of bed, sent a text message to Chastity saying good morning then took a shower.

I had just finished dressing when there was a knock at my door then it opened slightly. I looked up from grabbing my laptop, and some files I wanted to bring to the meeting with me. The warrior, Blake had stuck. his head in the door, and looked concerned.

“Yes Blake?” I questioned.

“Umm. Miss Bianca is here to escort to you to breakfast.” He informed me.

“LUNA BIANCA!” I heard Bianca screech.

“I’m sorry Miss. I didn’t realize you were mated to Alpha Marvin. I am sorry for the disrespect.” Blake responded respectfully.

“EWW! Don’t be gross. That is my father.”

“I’ll be right there Blake.” I said with a smile.

“Just move you over grown oaf!” Bianca growled, and I shook my head at him.

He nodded slightly, and backed out of the room, obviously holding someone from entering. I sighed when he pulled the door shut, and I heard Bianca yelling until the door closed. Thank the goddess for

sound proof rooms. Once I had everything I needed, and my shoes on I opened the door. I almost laughed at the glare Bianca was throwing at Blake. As soon as she saw me her face cleared, and she smiled brightly. I only nodded.

“Good morning Rowen. I’m hear to escort you to breakfast.” Bianca said with a too high pitched voice. “Thank you.” I said with a dip of my head.

“You can go now. I will keep Rowen company.” Bianca said to Blake.

“I’m sorry ma’am, but my orders are to stay with Alpha Rowen.” Blake said respectfully.

“Nonsense. He’s just as safe here in our pack as he is any where else. Now go.” Bianca growled.

“I’m sorry ma’am, but I cannot.”

“I gave you an order, and you will follow it.”

“Unless that order comes directly from my chain of command I cannot. I am sorry.”

“It does! I am…..”

“Enough!” I growled, “Bianca, Blake stays with me at all times as he is my personal guard. He takes his orders from myself, my father, Beta Dimitri, or Beta Jax. Now if you will be so kind as to lead us to the dining room for breakfast I would appreciate it.” I stated firmly.

“Oh. No. You and I will be having breakfast in my private parlor this morning. I thought afterwards you would agree to the pack tour we discussed yesterday. No need for you to be locked away in some office all day. You’re too young, and active to be locked away with a bunch of old men like that. They don’t need you there, and you should be seen by our pack members. I’m sure they can iron out the details without you there anyway.” Bianca said.

“Thank you, but no. I will join the others for breakfast then proceed to the meeting with everyone else.” | responded walking past Bianca as she had stopped in front of a door just down the hall from my room.

“But…but why? You don’t need to be there. You need to be seen out, and in our pack. They need to see. who you are.” Bianca said running to catch up with me.

“Because as future Alpha of my pack I want to be involved in all discussions, and agreements made.”

“But wouldn’t your time here be better served getting to know the people, and spending time with me?”

“I’m sorry Bianca, but no.”

With that I opened the dining room door to find everyone already seated, and my place from the night. before empty, along with Bianca’s. The whole conversation with her set off warming bells in my head. I was beginning to think there was something else behind this meeting that we were not being told. I watched as Alpha Marvin’s eyes narrowed, but he quickly cleared his face, and smiled. That only raised my suspicions more.

“Rowen my dear boy. I hadn’t realized you would be joining us for breakfast. I thought you would have preferred a more private breakfast with my daughter.” Alpha Marvin said with a chuckle.

“It was offered, but I declined Alpha Marvin.” I stated as I took my seat, and an Omega placed a dish and utensils in front of me.

“Oh. Um. Ok. Have you changed your mind about joining Bianca on a pack tour today?”

“No sir. I appreciate the offer, but I will have to pass.”

“But son how will you learn what expect from the pack if you do not meet the people?”

“Again, while I appreciate the offer, this weekend is for trade agreements, and renewing our alliance. If I return someday I may take a tour of the pack, just not today.”

“If? Surely you’ll come back for visits often.” Bianca whined.

“I cannot promise that as I have quite the busy schedule in the months to come.”

“But….”

“Leave it Bianca.” Alpha Marvin growled.

I caught her nod then pout out of the corner of my eye. I focused in the food on my plate, as Dimitri, and Beta Zander discussed the current state of their cedar grove which was their main trade item in the forms of furniture, and building supplies. It didn’t sound promising.

“I’m starting to see what you meant last night son.” My father privately mind linked me.

“I have a feeling I know what is going on, but I want to wait to see how they go about playing their hand here. I also heard about the disrespect you all received in regards to your rooms.” I responded.

“Yes. That was addressed before you arrived. Beta Zander was quite upset about it. Alpha Marvin waved it off, and claimed it to be poor understanding on Bianca’s part as she was in charge of arranging the

rooms.”

“Is it being changed?”

“Beta Zander said he would see to it personally.”

“Good. If I’m being honest the all around lack of respect since we arrived is concerning.”

“I agree.”

Our conversation was cut off at Alpha Marvin rose from his seat.

“Alpha Joseph, Beta Dimitri, if you’ll please come with me, and Zander we can begin our meeting.” Alpha Marvin said with a smug smile.

“We will be joining you sir.” I stated as I rose from my seat, grabbing my laptop bag, Jax doing the same.

“Oh. No. You can finish your breakfast, and join us when you are done. Bianca will keep you company.” Alpha Marvin offered.

“No thank you. I’m quite finished.” I responded, biting back a gag as the eggs were under cooked.

“Is the food not to your liking? I can have the Omegas make you something else if you want.”

“That’s quite alright. I am not a big breakfast eater.” I responded, and caught Jax raise an eyebrow at me. “…um….alright. Come along them.”

We followed Alpha Marvin out of the dining room, and up the stairs to his office.

“We need to read every single line of that alliance agreement. Fine print included.” I said to my dad, Dimitri, and Jax through the party mind link.

“What is going on Rowen?” Dimitri responded.

“Bianca, and Alpha Marvin are way to eager for me to spend time alone with her. Things she said on our way to the dining room didn’t sit well with me either.” I responded.

“What do you think they are up to?”

“I don’t want to say anything yet. I want to wait to see how this plays out, but we need to make sure that agreement is complete above board.”

“Understood.” They all agreed, and we closed the link.

We walked into a large office that had an executive glass top desk. There was a leather chair behind the desk that looked almost like a throne. Everything about the office screamed arrogance, and over inflated ego. It was becoming more, and more clear where money was being spent based on what I had seen of the pack house vs how the pack town had looked. This place was a mess. Alpha Marvin sprawled behind his desk, and looked at us condescendingly. My father, and I took the only two chairs in front of the desk. For now Jax and Dimitri stood behind us.

“Now lets discuss exactly what this updated alliance between us will look like.” Alpha Marvin stated.

“Actually Alpha Marvin I want to discuss the deficits in the trade agreement first.” My father countered as he pulled out file, and I opened my laptop.

“We can come back to that.”

“I’m afraid not. The trade agreement directly impacts our alliance agreement so we will be discussing that first as the deficit is very concerning.”

“Fine, What about it is the problem?” Alpha Marvin growled as he sat forward in his chair.

“It appears that the goods going out have been on a steady decrease over the last year. This is bringing in less revenue to your pack. I have also noticed that the requests for goods, as well as financial support have increased to us over the last year. I would like to get a clearer picture on what the concerns are that has decreased your production, but requiring an increase in goods, and financial assistance in that time frame.”

“Simple, our cedar grove ended up with a pest invasion that damaged a good many of our trees. We’re unable to produce the amount of products as we once did.”

“That is completely understandable. Has the situation been rectified?”

I thought over Alpha Marvin’s response for a moment. Cedar is a natural bug, and rodent repellent, if I remember correctly. I did a quick search, and found I was correct. I forwarded the information to Jax, and focused back in on the conversation at hand. We all spent the next several hours reviewing the concerns my dad had, as well as making suggestions for short term solutions until their main goods producer problem was corrected.

Every suggestion myself or my father made, Alpha Marvin shot down, or made excuses for why they would not work. A suggestion from me he flat out ignored which irritated me. My father didn’t appreciate it much either. He made that clear more than once, Alpha Marvin was quick to brush my father’s concern off with everything else. By lunch time all of us were pretty frustrated. It was clear Alpha Marvin had no interest in working with us to find a solution to the problems with the trade agreement. If things kept up I knew my father would cancel the agreement completely.

“Rowen, why don’t you go have lunch with Bianca, and spend the afternoon with her. I’m sure that will be more enjoyable than listening to old men arguing.” Alpha Marvin suggested with a smile to me.

“No thank you sir.” I declined politely.

“I really do believe you two should spend sometime getting to know each other. I think you would greatly enjoy each other’s company.” He encouraged.

“While I appreciate the offer, I am not interested.” I said firmly.

I I today’s meeting going to go. He was going to be seriously disappointed, but I wanted to wait for him to bring it up. I

wasn’t going to. Dad seemed to think the same thing, and mind linked me as much.

“Fine. I’ve asked the servants to bring us lunch. We’ll finish this after we eat.” Alpha Marvin stated, sounding obviously frustrated.

“I would like to inspect your cedar tree grove with Beta Zander please.” Dimitri requested.

“That won’t be necessary.” Alpha Marvin snapped, and I raised my eyebrows.

“I would like to expect the damage. You may not be aware, but we have a very close relationship with Dark Moon pack, and they have an extensive lab. Depending on the type of parasite, they may have a repellent that would be effective in eliminating the pest, and preventing future damage.”

“Again that won’t be necessary.”

“I will take him sir. Maybe there is something we have no thought of to correct the issue. Come with me Beta Dimitri.” Beta Zander stated, as he moved to leave the room.

I noticed the fear in Alpha Marvin’s eyes before he could hide it. He was definitely hiding something. The question was what. I guess we would find out soon enough. Shortly after they left several Omegas entered the room with a cart of basic sandwiches, and waters. We ate in silence as I started to read through the original alliance contract. I wanted to make sure I was well versed in it before that discussion started. Dimitri, and Beta Zander returned within an hour. Dimitri looked very concerned, and Beta Zander looked almost smug. I didn’t have to wonder what was going on for long.

“They don’t have pest problem. They have an over harvesting issue.” Dimitri stated through the party link. “What do you mean Demi?” My dad asked.

“Their extensive grove is almost completely empty of usable trees, and only what appears to be saplings to yearlings. Beta Zander told me that Alpha Marvin has been harvesting without replanting ever since he took over for his father about fifteen years ago. He was told repeatedly that he needed to plant two new trees for every one harvested, but he choose to ignore what he was told. In his greed he did not want to spend the money to cultivate or purchase new trees. A year ago he was told he had no choice, but to

replant, and slow down harvesting as what they had would not last another two years if they did not. He let them plant the cheapest thing they could find. He has also done nothing to find another viable option for trade or financial stability. Also, Beta Zander is NOT Alpha Marvin’s Beta. He was the Beta of Alpha Marvin’s father. He only remained in the role to care for his pack, or what is left of it.” Dimitri explained.

“So we are wasting our time with this? What does he expect us to do in this situation?” Jax asked.

“Beta Zander is not sure what tricks Marvin has up his sleeve, but Marvin seems to think we will have no problem supporting this pack financially in it’s entirety moving forward from today.”

“Like hell we’ll do that. This is his pack, and his responsibility. We will not take that over for him because he was a fool.” My father snapped.

“I said the same to Zander. He said read the alliance agreement carefully. He said he has a feeling there is something in there that will ensure we do just that. He’s not sure what, but he does not trust Marvin, and said he is very sneaky.” Dimitri said.

“Thank you Dimi.”

“You’re welcome Joe.”

The mind link was cut as Marvin leaned forward in his chair, and gave us a sly smile. “Since we cannot seem to come to a mutual decision on the trade agreement why don’t we move on to the alliance

agreement.”

“We will for now, but we will be returning to the trade agreement before the end of today.” My father agreed.

“Yes, yes. Of course.” Alpha Marvin waved him away.

“I have the alliance agreement pulled up here. We can review it point by point.” I stated.

“No need. That agreement was made during my father’s time. I have updated it for current times. You just need to sign the new agreement on the doted line, and we’ll move forward with it. All arrangements have already been made to finalize everything.” Alpha Marvin stated as he handed a single page to my father, who looked at the page, and turned it over to the back to look there.

He shook his head, and handed it to me. It was simply the final paragraph of any agreement stating all parties were accepting to the terms, and where to sign. There was nothing additional.

“Alpha Marvin, if you have made changes to the agreement I wish to read it first.” My father stated firmly.

“There really is no need. It’s just some wording changes to more modern times.” Alpha Marvin stated casually, but I could see the annoyance in his eyes.

of

“Alpha Marvin, do not attempt to play me for a fool. I have had many years of experience in this type thing. I will read the full agreement or I will sign nothing, and our alliance is ended, along with the trade. agreement. That means we will no longer be sending you any goods, nor will we supply financial assistance in any means. You also will be unable to call upon us in times when you need extra warriors.” My father growled.

“How dare you speak to me in such a disrespectful manner.” Alpha Marvin growled back.

“You want to speak about disrespect we can. From the moment we have arrived here we have been subjected to disrespect. It is disrespectful to address the high rank mambers of another pack without first addressing their rank. Your daughter has done so with my son, and Beta Jax from the moment we arrived. You have repeatedly attempted to push that she-wolf on my son since we arrived. To add to the insults issued to us upon arrival, the rooms myself, my Beta, and my son’s future Beta were given are not befitting to our ranks or stations within a pack. You have disregarded any suggestions we have made to correct your current financial situation, and you have been down right rude through this entire meeting.

Now if this continues you will find yourself with one less source of income, and one less very large ally, which you very much need. I will also be sure to make other packs aware of what has occurred here.” My father stated firmly.

“There is no need to speak to me in such a manner. We are both Alpha’s here.”

“The same can be said for you. Now hand over the complete agreement or there will be none going forward.”

Alpha Marvin glared, but pushed the agreement to my father, looking much like a child who received a dressing down from a parent. My father opened the folder after taking my laptop from me, and began to read. At first I did not know what he was doing until I saw him running his finger along my pulled up copy of the agreement.

It didn’t take long for my father to start looking very angry. It only got worse when he got to the second page of the agreement. Finally he snapped the folder shut, and handed it to me. He looked to me with hard eyes, and I knew what ever I was about to read would not be good. I took the folder and the laptop. back, and began to read.

The first paragraph or two was the same. From there it changed, drastically. Alpha Marvin added a clause that almost half our warriors, and their families would permanently relocate to Cedar Grove. If they did not have a family or mate they must choose a mate from Cedar Grove, even if the mate was not fated. He followed this with a clause that Moonlight pack would split their income with Cedar Grove, no matter where the income came from, with no obligation to Cedar Grove to ever become financially stable on their own, or to add to the income they expected us to provide. This was followed with another clause. about us adding our own teachers to their school system. Again teachers who did not have families were required to choose a mate from Cedar Grove’s population. This went on to include medical staff. After finishing the first page, looked to my father.

“Why would we agree to any of this?” I asked angrily.

“Read the second page.” My father growled, glaring at Alpha Marvin.

Taking a deep breath, after handing the first page back to Jax, I started on the second page. It went on to include demands for more population, and choosing mates in theirs. None of it made much sense to me, until I read the last requirement. I did all I could to contain my anger.

“NO! Absolutely not! I will NOT agree to this, now or ever!” I growled as Jax took the paper from me to read it for himself.

“If you want to maintain this alliance you will do exactly what that says.” Alpha Marvin stated smugly, thinking he had a leg to stand on here.

“You over play your hand here sir. You need us more than we need you.” I stated firmly.

“I doubt that is true. You can’t get building supplies like what we provide.”

“You are under the impression that you are our only supplier or that we do not supply our own. Our trade agreement was only ever established to help your pack, not ours.”

“Bullshit.”

“No bullshit. The items we get from you are minimal by comparison. We supply a much larger amount of our supplies for ourselves than we take in from you. You are also not the only provider of cedar wood.”

“You WILL do what is on that agreement!”

“I will NOT! I will NOT take your daughter as my chosen mate. Now or ever.”

“You don’t have a mate so what’s the big deal? She is fully trained to be the perfect Luna.”

“I do have a mate. One that can surpass any training your daughter may have been provided.”

“I highly doubt that. I know of the typical pairings between Alphas, and Omegas. They are weak. My daughter will make a much better mate, and serve you well as a chosen mate. Besides fated mates are al thing of the past. They hold no value or meaning any more.”

“It’s a good thing I do not agree with your beliefs, and neither does any one else I know. I will not be taking your daughter as my chosen mate. Nor will we be bowing to your demands. You can either accept the agreement as it was originally written, and we go back to the trade agreement to try to reach a mutual decision, or all agreements are over.”

“You do not have that authority. Only your Alpha does. Joe, make him see reason. This is mutually beneficial for us both. Surely you can see that. Your son would be Alpha over two packs, and my pack will

be what it is meant to be.”

“Alpha Marvin, I am not, nor have I ever been close enough to you to address me so informally. Nor will I tolerate such disrespect. Furthermore, my son has full authority to make decisions in this, and all

meetings. I stand behind his decision to take his fated mate, whole heartedly. I would have it no other way. As for the agreements. You have only tonight to think this over carefully. If you insist on pushing the agreement you wrote up, our alliance, and trade agreements are officially at an end. I expect a decision in the morning on how you wish to proceed. Just be forewarned, do not push me. The outcome will not play. in your favor as I will end all agreements if you push this matter any further.” My father stated firmly.”

“You cannot do that.” Alpha Marvin said.

“I can, and I will. You forget that agreements are between both parties, not just one. If I do not agree there. is no agreement at all. Think it over as what my son said is correct. You need us more than we need you. Now if you will excuse us, we are going to have dinner in the pack town. We will see you in the morning.”

My father rose from his seat, and we followed him out. I had just shut the door behind me when Bianca came bouncing up to me in another too tight, too small dress, only this time it was blue. She attempted to throw herself at me, but I moved away from her quickly. She barely managed to stay on her feet in her sky high heels.

“Isn’t it exciting? Can you believe it? This time tomorrow we’ll be headed back to Moonlight pack, and I will take my place as your Luna.” Bianca squealed.

“You need to speak to your father.” I growled, and walked away.

I heard her huff then the office door slam from behind me. I continued to follow Dimitri, Jax, and my dad out of the pack house to our car. I quickly turned when I heard someone running toward us. It was Betal Zander, and he looked slightly out of breath. My father placed his hand on the mans shoulder to keep him from collapsing.

“I….uh…You made the right choice in there. I am sorry about what happened.” Beta Zander said as he tried. to catch his breath.

“You do not need to apologize for his actions. He did act alone, correct?” My father questioned.

“Very much so. Had I known he was going to do that I would have never allowed the meeting to happen.”

That’s good to know.”

“I know I am in no position to make requests, considering what just happened with Marvin, but I am going to make one anyway. Well two actually.”

“I will hear your requests, but I make no promises that they will be fulfilled.”

“I understand.”

“What are your requests?”

“The first is that if you know who the rest of Marvin’s alliances are to please make them aware of what happened here today, and what games he is playing. The second is of a more personal nature.”

“The first I had planned to do already. Along with notifying all Alphas of what he is up to. They should be prepared if he reaches out to them. What is your second request?”

“I do have a mate. I have had one for a very long time, but due to Marvin’s, um, hatred of those not like him, I have had to keep my mate hidden. I hate it, and it is not fair to my mate. I am also beyond the age of retirement. I am requesting acceptance into Moonlight pack for myself, and my mate so I can retire in peace. I have no desire to continue on as a Beta, and I would like to settle down with my mate, and the daughter we are hoping to adopt, if we can get out of this pack.”

“What are your mate’s skills?”

“He is a baker sir.”

“And you wish to retire?”

“As a Beta yes. My mate has always wanted to own his own bakery. I would handle the paperwork side of things, while he does the baking.”

“We do need some one to take over Mrs. Dyer’s bakery. Her only son is a warrior, and has no desire to keep it running.” Dimitri said to my dad.

“Have your applications, and paperwork filled out, and emailed to me by the end of this weekend. I will review them, and get back to you on acceptance into Moonlight pack within a few days.” My father stated.

“Thank you so much sir. It means a lot that you would even consider me.” Beta Zander said with a smile.

“You provided us with useful information that your Alpha tried to hide. Understand that under different circumstances that would not make you appear to be a loyal pack member, but this situation is a bit different. You were looking out for the best interest of others. That is a noble thing to do.”

“Thank you. I’ll have everything to you as soon as possible.”

My father only nodded, and smiled at the man. We then climbed into the car, and drove off to find a place for dinner. We ended up at a run down diner near the center of town. Much like the rest of the pack town. it was rather depressing. The food was pretty good though. We spent several hours at the diner eating, and talking. By the time we returned to the pack house I had finally calmed down from our earlier meeting. Jax, and I were headed to my room when I noticed something a bit off. Blake was not

at his post. We had decided not to take warriors with us for dinner as we were capable of protecting ourselves. With a shrug I figured he had decided to go grab something to eat, or needed to use the bathroom. Jax was with me so if any tricks were to be played, he was right there to witness them.

I was turned to Jax saying something when I pushed open the door. No sooner had it opened that the strong scent of female arousal assaulted my nose. I instantly crinkled it, and looked into the room. It was dark, but with wolf sight being what it was, I could see just fine. It wasn’t hard to spot a naked Bianca in the middle of the bed, fully naked, and getting herself off. I slammed to door open against the wall, and flipped on the lights then stepped back into the hall. Bianca squealed for a moment then moaned loudly. Jax looked into the room, and growled.

“GET OUT!” I roared, causing Bianca to jump.

She instantly smiled at me, climbed off the bed, and began to saunter toward me. When she reach me she lifted the fingers she had just hand inside herself toward my lips. I grabbed her wrist, and pushed her back before she could touch me. No way did I want her scent on me in any way. I knew what this was, and it was going to turn ugly, for her.

“Rowen, I’ve been waiting for you. I thought since we’ll be mated tomorrow, we could get a jumpstart on the fun tonight.” Bianca said in a voice I assumed she thought sounded sexy, but only made my ears hurt

instead.

“We will not be mated tomorrow, or any day for that matter.” I growled.

“Of course we will. Daddy said it’s all planned, and ready to go.” Bianca whined thrusting her breasts at

“Your daddy lied to you. I will not claim you as my mate now, tomorrow, or any day. I already have a mate, and I assure you she is not you!”

“For now you have a mate that isn’t me.”

“Excuse me?”

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?” I heard Alpha Marvin yell.

And there is was. The last trick up their sleeve. I knew they had one more to play before our visit was done. I turned to the man, and glared. I almost chuckled when I heard my father, Dimitri, and Zander run up the stairs, and into the hall.

“Son, what is going on?” My father asked me, sounding confused.

“It would appear that Alpha Marvin, and his daughter Bianca cooked up a plan in an attempt to trap me into taking her as my chosen mate. Too bad for them I had a feeling some game would be played, and I have not been alone once where something like this could happen. You asked why I wanted Jax sharing. my room in secret since we arrived, well here is your answer. When we arrived at my door this evening, we found Bianca sprawled out on my bed just as she is now, pleasuring herself. I guess she thought the scent of her arousal would tempt me into sleeping with her. Thank the goddess I saw the trick coming. before it could be played.” I explained.

“NO! NO! NO! THAT’S NOT TRUE! ROWEN ASKED ME TO COME TO HIS BED IN SECRET TONIGHT SO WE COULD MARK EACH OTHER IN PRIVATE!” Bianca wailed, and I shook my head.

“YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU CONNED MY DAUGHTER INTO YOUR BED! YOU WILL TAKE HER AS YOUR MATE TOMORROW SO HELP ME GODDESS!” Alpha Marvin roared, and I could only laugh.

He really thought I, or any of us were going to fall for their games. I was almost impressed with their lack. of sense. No way was I falling into that trap. I had a mate. An amazing one. One I loved with my whole heart. No way was I going to risk that for some spoiled brat. Chastity was my everything, and I would NEVER give that up, or risk it the way they were claiming. When I finally stopped laughing I spoke.

“As I have not been alone with Bianca even once since I arrived here, that would not be possible. I have made sure to not risk being alone with her. I have either been with Beta Jax, or warrior Blake. Where is he any way?” I questioned.

“He’s asleep some where.” Bianca said.

“And why would he asleep some where, instead of at his post?” I questioned.

1…uh….”

“SPEAK!” I roared.

“I gave him a sleeping potion.”

“So you poisoned him? Right. I feel sorry for any guests you have. Alpha Marvin, I in no way asked or coerced your daughter into her actions tonight. Nor would I ever consider doing such. I already have a mate. My fated one, and she is the most amazing female in the world. Why would I risk losing that for your spoiled daughter? I’ll answer that for you. I would NEVER risk my fated mate for anything in the

world! Bianca either acted on her own, or at your demand. It does no matter which. The point is that I was not an active participant in the games played here tonight, and I will NOT be accepting your daughter in any way.”

“That’s not true. None of it is. I was here with you just last night. You used my body in ways I could only dream of, and asked me to return tonight so we could make things official between us.” Bianca whined.

“WHAT?” Alpha Marvin yelled, and I laughed again.

“Jax.” I said calmly, smirking.

“I can promise you that Bianca was not in Alpha Rowen’s bedroom as I was sleeping on the couch. When I left the room early this morning, I had warrior Blake at the door before leaving.” Jax stated firmly.

“You lie! You were just as active in what we were doing as he was.” Bianca snapped.

“Shall I prove who the liar truly is?” Jax asked as he pulled up his laptop.

“How….how can you prove that?” Alpha Marvin asked.

“It’s very simple Alpha. You see you have several security cameras through out the pack house. Two on this floor alone. What you don’t have is a closed system. Everything that happens in these halls is streamed to an open website that is linked to your pack’s website. The whole feed from the moment we arrived, to right this second is recorded, and played live through out the whole wolf web. I am sorry to say Bianca, but your nakedness is on full display for any wolf to see who may be watching right now. Shall I play the feed from last night, as well as the feed from when Alpha Rowen, and I arrived tonight?” Jax explained.

“I…I swear I was here last night.” Biancca whimpered.

“Oh I’m not denying that you were. I am denying that anything happened. You knocked on the door in a flimsy robe, and ridiculous high heels that will do lasting damage to your feet, by the way. No one let your in to the room, and eventually you went back to yours.”

“That’s because Rowen….”

“Do NOT claim ALPHA Rowen asked you to come to his room because that is as much a lie as your claim that he invited you here tonight.”

“Thank you Jax. Rowen collect your things. You will be staying in my room. Tomorrow we will be leaving. bright, and early. Alpha Marvin I expect an answer on our original agreement by the time we leave in the morning.” My father stated firmly.

“It’s my agreement or none.” Alpha Marvin growled.

“I’m sorry to hear that as you do need us more than we need you. I will still give you the night to clear your head, and think it over. Come along Rowen. Oh, and Bianca, for future reference typically when a she-wolf throws herself at an Alpha he does not see her as mate material, only for what she is offering. On top of that Alphas, as a general rule accept their fated mate, or second chance mate over a chosen mate. I know you were led to believe that fated mates are a myth, but they are not, and you will find yours.” My father said kindly.

Jax handed me my suitcase. I hadn’t realized he had grabbed it, and my belongings for me. We followed my dad down one floor to his room. Nothing was said, and we both fell asleep quickly. I hated that I hadn’t had a chance to talk to Chastity, but I was going to see her the next day so I could make it up to

her then.

The next morning we all quickly packed up our things to leave. Thankfully Alpha Marvin, and Bianca did not bother us again the rest of the night. Blake was found asleep in his room, and felt very guilty for not doing his duty to me. He was really upset when we explained to him why it happened.

We were just loading out stuff into our cars when Alpha Marvin, and Blanca came out of the house. Bianca was looking very smug for some reason. As was Alpha Marvin. My father turned to them.

“Well Alpha Marvin have you decided to agree to the original terms?” My father asked.

“No. It is my agreement, or none at all.” Alpha Marvin stated.

“I am sorry to hear that Alpha Marvin as we will not be agreeing to your terms.”

“If you do not agree to my terms, and Rowen does not take Bianca as his chosen mate, I will declare war against Moonlight pack.”

“Alpha Marvin, please think that through. Your pack cannot afford the loss of life that it will experience if you attack mine.”

“Your son disrespected, and used my daughter! He either honors her, or I will call up my allies, and wage war against yours.”

“My son did NOT in anyway disrespect your daughter. If anything your daughter disrespected my son! Furthermore, your allies are small, and minimal at best. Along with the fact that your allies are also my allies. They will chose to remain neutral in any conflict between us.”

“They will help me to fight against you. They don’t need you any more than I do.”

“I am sorry you feel that way. If you chose this route it will end badly for you, and what is left of your pack. Do not dwindle your numbers further in a war you have no hope of winning. Preserve the lives remaining,

and work to rebuild what you have decimated in your greed. That is what your pack needs from you, not a war they will all lose in.”

“You think I’m afraid of you?”

“Of course not otherwise you would not be threatening me. I am letting you go without retaliation, but be advised many Alphas are not as forgiving as I am. They will not think twice about eliminating you or what is left of your pack if you handle them in the same manner you have handled me. Your games, attempts at manipulation, and threats will end in the loss of everything you hold dear. You would be wise not to try such on any others.”

“I will get what I want and there is nothing you can do about it. Alpha Robert of Dark Moon will be here tomorrow. He will accept my daughter.”

“Alpha Robert already has a mate, and Luna. He, and his father will not take kindly to your threats either. They are not as forgiving as I am. They are also my closest ally. Be careful Marvin. You are playing dangerous game. Now we will take our leave. If anyone approaches us in a manner deemed threatening they will not be doing so again.”

My father nodded to us, and got in the car. I took one last look at Alpha Marvin, and Bianca. Alpha Marvin looked furious. Bianca was crying. I didn’t feel bad for her though. She tried to play a dangerous game, and it failed, badly. If she tried it again, it could end up being worse for her.

We were just reaching the edge of the pack territory when we saw Beta Zander sitting on a boulder with a shorter man standing next to him, hand on his shoulder. My father pulled to stop next to the boulder, and rolled own his window. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Beta Zander.” My father stated.

“Alpha Joseph, I just wanted to wish you well. I am sorry for what you experienced here. His greed knows. no bounds. He will be the death of this pack if he is not more careful.” Beta Zander said, looking sad.

“I’m afraid you may be right.”

“I…what can I do for what’s left of my pack? How do I protect them?”

“Get applications out to other packs to get them out, but do it quietly.”

“So have them abandon ship.”

“It’s that or risk them being killed when he angers the wrong Alpha.”

“Yes. You are probably right about that. He father would have never stood for this.”

“His father was a good man, with a good head on his shoulders. I am sorry he passed.”

“As am I.”

“Your application, along with your mate’s have been accepted at Moonlight. You will have a home set up, and ready to receive you in a week’s time. When you arrive I will set up a meeting with you and Mrs. Dyer about her bakery.”

“Thank you Alpha. This means a great deal to us. We’ll be there as soon as we can. I want to get what’s left of the pack squared away then we’ll be there.”

“We look forward to having you.”

“Well see you soon.”

“Bye.”

My dad rolled up his window, and we left the pack territory. I breathed a huge sigh a relief. What a mess that had been. I was glad it was over now. Now to go spend sometime with my Chastity.
