He was clearly having a conversation over the mindlink with his Alpha now and some kind of agreement was struck as the warrior looked back at me”
We have maintained the patrol routes that your team set up for us, but we have few warriors and they are spread thin, patrolling the whole of the territory and we have the beach side of the territory to think of. We do not have the high vantage point that your pack does to maintain a good visual out to the sea.”
That was something I knew, because I pointed it out. Delta Kyle and Gamma Brett also suggested watch towers be constructed to give them a better vantage point. Something that hasn’t happened if they are still bringing it up.
“Did you construct the watchtowers as suggested by my Gamma and Delta?”
I know the answer, but this Alpha is being a d*ck and I feel the necessity to put him in his place”
Have you trained your pack members to defend themselves, also a suggestion by my Gamma and Delta?”
I almost forgot other people were in the room. My only reminder is the gentle shake of Xander’s shoulder next to me. Is he laughing? I turn just slightly so I can make eye contact.
He leans to whisper in my ear”
You are amazing, this guy is a pain in the ass at the best of times. I’ve never seen him this flustered.”
I just roll my eyes at him and fight a smile.
“Umm, we haven’t had the opportunity to complete those projects yet.”
The warrior answers me looking awkward.
“Haven’t had the opportunity, or chosen not to do them? If you want help and assistance you have to show that you are willing to put in just as much effort. Each pack here has their own situations to deal with. The point of the Kingdoms alliance is to assist, not do the work for another pack. Training your pack members, all of them, should be your first priority.
They don’t need to be elite warriors, but having the confidence to defend themselves and their families and get to safety is nonnegotiable. The plans for your watchtowers were drawn up for you, all that needed to be done was construct them. That is your second priority.
Once those things are done, then come and ask for additional assistance”
I emphasized the word, “and we can move forward from there.
I have no idea what got into me, but Alpha Reggie and Warrior Osiston didn’t stop me, so I put a finality to the conversation and then looked to them for what to do next as I came out of the haze that clouded me while I was putting this Alpha in his place. What I saw was not what I expected.
I expected shock or horror or disapproval at my speaking out and over them basically.
They both had the biggest smile on their faces and Luna Anne gave me a wink.
I took a look around the room at the rest of the Alphas and their entourage, including some of the daughters I was wamed about. Varying looks of disbelief, surprise, disgust and fear littered all their faces and I just wanted to sink into my chair, feeling like I made a spectacle of myself.
I was just here to offer my opinions, not take over a discussion, no matter how much Alpha Brecc deserved to have his pompous ass told off. I looked down at my portfolio, looking at the schedule I have basically memorized, but needing something to do.
“Don’t shy away now, you just owned this room. They at least know why you’re here now and it’s not as my arm candy, you eamed your seat at this table unlike many of the people standing around the room. Although, speaking of arm candy, we need to get a picture and send it to the guys, cause I am going torture the sh*t out of them with you looking this good on my arm and not theirs.”
I snap my eyes to him and can’t help the smile that breaks out on my face to match his. He is trying to help me have fun in this very un- fun situation.
“I’m sure your torture of them began long before now, if their gift is any indication.”
I whisper back, touching the multitude of bracelets. He just gets this smile that reminds me of Sam when he is up to no good and ready to take everyone around him down his path of troublemaking.
Before I can get lost in that train of thought though, Alpha Reggie speaks up.
“Well, Alpha Brecc, it sounds like you have your assignments. Come back to us when you have completed your tasks. Let’s take a break before we reconvene, I believe a few other packs have requests for training and warrior assistance.”
He looked pointedly at each Alpha sitting at the table, letting them know they were going to get the same treatment as Alpha Brecc.
Xander stood and helped me from my chair and we followed his parents to a small chamber off of the conference room, while the rest of the Alphas and their people filed out the door we entered.
“Perks of living here is you get to use all of the fun secret rooms.”
Alpha Reggie laughed as a warrior closed the door behind us”
That was spectacular, I need to bring you in more often. Alpha Brecc is usually difficult and likes to monopolize the conversation, as you saw. He also likes to ask for more than what he actually needs, just to see what he can get. I didn’t realize that it was your pack that led the relief assistance for those attacks.”
I nodded in agreement. “It was the first time Gamma Brett and Delta Kyle let me go outside the pack with the warriors.
I don’t even know if my father and brother know I was a part of that team. We obviously had to get permission to cross Alpha Brecc’s territory and he was slow to give it, even though he never actually came to meet us.
