“I was talking to your Alphas child, do not interrupt. You aren’t here under the arm of the Alpha King. Things work differently out here in the real world.”
Oliver growls in his chest behind me. I reach back and grab his hand to calm him down. ***”He’s trying to goad us. Stay calm and talk very little. He likes to have control, by riling people up and getting them to react. He can’t fight well and his warriors are poorly trained.”*** I told all three of my mates. Oliver squeezes my fingertips, letting me know he understands.
“What do you want, Alpha Brecc? We are clearly not available to entertain.”
Cam asks. He’s always been the better peacekeeper. It used to make me angry when he would do it to placate Kaley and Kevin, but I can see how having a level head and appearing indifferent will come in handy.
Brecc shifts his focus and I can see the wheels turning in his head as he takes in the three massive guys behind me. They are clearly making a statement in their usual positions around me, but he seems confused.
“Charlene, I believe you said the new Alpha’s of Blue Crescent were twins, not triplets. That is a detail I would have remembered. It’s not common.”
He looks over at his shoulder and I see her step out of the shadows of their warriors to take her place, not at his side, but just behind his right shoulder. I have to smile at the idea that she wants power, but at the same time will take a back seat to an overbearing Alpha with a superiority complex.
“That is the information the little blonde mouse gave me when we spoke last. She did say that they had a less than worthy mate. I can see she was at least half right.”
Charlene smiles at me, but it doesn’t reach her eyes. I think she’s trying to intimidate me, but she just looks like she’s in pain.
I roll my eyes in response.
“Well, either way, I am here to offer my daughter as your chosen mate to ally our packs during this time of distress. Us neighboring packs must stick together and an alliance like ours would be most advantageous.”
***”Yeah, for him. Moron. I bet he still hasn’t done the improvements we asked about when I first went to warrior training two years ago. He wants protection and status without any work on his part, he’s lazy and self righteous. From what I have seen Charlene is the same. He couldn’t even explain the patrol strategy, that I helped Kyle set up when I was thirteen, to Alpha Reggie when he was asked about it.”
I tell our whole team. “Don’t underestimate him though, he’s vindictive.”***
“We have our mate and are very happy with the choice the Goddess made. And trying to infiltrate our pack is not the best way to form an alliance, wouldn’t you agree?” Cam asks. “How are your patrols and border protections?” Dakota asks, with a knowing smile.
Alpha Brecc’s eyes fly to me and back to them. “Our patrols have always been superb, Alpha…”
He doesn’t know who is who, even if he knew the twins names in the first place, now there are three of them and I’m sure he couldn’t be bothered to figure out the Gammal name. He wouldn’t think it necessary. Gamma’s are servants to him and nothing more.
None of my guys answer him. He doesn’t deserye to learn their names. I can see Charlene taking a tel.
mental inventory of the people around us. I know that several of our warriors are still out patrolling. haven’t heard from them, so tam hoping everything is alright, but every warrior that was here at camp has stopped to watch the conversation.
I’m not sure if Alpha Brecc has caught on, but they are all in a strategic position. Our little tent city is two rows running perpendicular to the forest and Brecc made his entrance at one end, very dramatically. Each tent has at least two of our warriors standing in it as we all talk near the center of the row. Each of them can have his group surrounded in a blink if needed.
***”I need a status update from the area surrounding the camp. Does Alpha Brecc have any more warriors hiding out? You probably won’t be able to scent them, you’re going to need to get a visual confirmation.”*** All the patrol warriors let me know they heard me and we get a running check in as they scour the area surrounding us.
“Daddy, I’m sure the Alphas would be more comfortable if we sat down and negotiated with some refreshments. I know alliance treaties can take such a long time to make sure everyone gets what they want.”
She places her hand on his shoulder. “Where are your Alpha quarters? I’m sure Skylar could get something whipped up for her Alphas in no time. I would love a chance to get to know you all better. Miss Cunningham said that you are all very handsome, but I don’t think her description did any of you justice.”
She walks over and links her arm with Cam’s. It’s all I can do to hold still. I can’t risk anyone getting hurt because she’s flirting with him. She’s not wrong, they are hot and I’m sure other women will flirt, so I am going to have to figure out how to handle jealousy without starting a fight, at least initially.
“That sounds like a great idea my dear, see Alphas, she’s already taking to her Luna duties, caring for the Alphas that are important to her. It’s just a natural instinct.”
I roll my eyes. “No.”
“NO? You refuse to serve your Alphas, your superiors? How dare you? You are just a Beta warrior. You are lucky they are letting you stand in front of them, let alone anywhere near them.”
Brecc snarls at me, letting his ‘nice neighbor’ act slip. “You are not worthy of being their Luna, step aside and let the superior ranks handle things.”
“You do know that she isn’t our Luna right?” Oliver states and Brecc’s eyes light up like his birthday came early.
Charlene giggles next to Cam as he tries to pull his arm from hers, looking horrified. Serves him right for always being placating. He was the same way with Kaley and he couldn’t seem to get rid of her either. I take a deep breath, I can deal with her groping his arm, for now.
“I was not aware, you had not taken her as your Luna. Even better. Less mess when you take your chosen Luna.”
“You misunderstood him, Alpha Brecc. He said she’s not our Luna, not that we didn’t claim our mate. In fact, she claimed us as an Alpha of this pack.”
Dakota says.
“Are all three of you exactly the same everywhere? How does anyone tell you apart?” Charlene.is trying to coo in Cam’s ear and can feel my heart rate rising. She needs to step away from him.
“That’s absurd. No female is an Alpha.”
