Chapter 196 – Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

Joaquin

We now had our full attack party. After discussions were completed it was decided that along with our group we would be taking half of the Sentinelle with us. Gabriel would be in charge of relaying the commands to them, and he assured us they were very well trained. We were also taking an additional twenty of my men along. There would be a little over four dozen people fighting and four people staying away from the fight to help afterwards. Juniper, Griffin, the human, and of course my Little Bunny would be left out of the fighting party.

No matter what she says, I will absolutely stop my Little Bunny from fighting. I will keep her away no matter what it takes. Even if i have to stay away from the fight myself, which I hope she doesn’t make me do. But I will not let her be put into danger like that.

The Aerie Convento wasn’t overly far away, but it wasn’t the easiest to get to. It was in a remote part of the Rocky Mountains near Crested Butte. It wasn’t so out of the way that it was impossible to get to, but it would still require us to go in a roundabout manner of getting there. That’s why the bulk of the fighting party was leaving in the herd of off-roading vehicles I had assembled for them, with a few extra seats available for us later if need be.

Most of our private group, however, would be travelling by helicopter so that we could get the information we needed sooner. It would take about four hours for them to drive up the mountains. The flight would take less than an hour.

We left at most an hour after the others. With this time spacing we will be there for about two hours, give or take, before everyone else arrived. This would give us ample time to have the spell performed. With luck, we can just head straight out to get the kids when everyone else gets there.

I couldn’t help but smirk to myself when we got onto the large helicopter, because the last time I had been aboard this type of craft had been when I took my Little Devil Bunny to that cabin in the mountains. That had been the night she had agreed to marry me. The after was pretty fun too.

We all filed in, one by one. I don’t do things cheap or half assed. It was for those reasons that I had long ago purchased the Eurocopter EC 155. It was enough to seat, with extreme convenience for today, sixteen people, and had only cost me a measly ten million. It was well worth it. The one I took before was a Sikorsky S-92. That one was a little more luxurious and VIP oriented with a price tag of around twenty-two million.

Since I met my Little Bunny, I had begun adding aviation equipment to my long list of personal vehicles. And with a personal pilot who could fly either helicopters or planes I didn’t need to worry at all. These were all needed things, no matter what my adorable little wife said. She really did have a problem with spending so much, I should spoil her more so she didn’t have to do it all alone.

It was a smooth, comfortable flight. Juniper and my Little Bunny spent the flight talking about the baby. I had just been sitting there, my eyes closed and resting on the back of my seat listening to my mate’s hypnotic voice. But I just had to watch them after a little bit.

“So, which are you hoping for?” Juniper asked her.

“Honestly, I don’t care. My main concern is that the baby is happy and healthy. If it’s a boy though I hope it looks like Joaquin.” Those words brought joy to my heart.

“I hope it’s a girl that looks as adorable as you.” I whispered in her ear so quietly that no one else could hear me. I smiled at the slight blush that crept on her beautifully pale face.

“Anyway.” She cleared her throat to clear her mind and push past her blushing embarrassment. “When are you and Paul going to have one?” She asked Juniper. It was now time for her friend to blush.

“I don’t know. Soon maybe. I wanted to wait until I was done with school, but I’m sure we all have a pretty good support system here, so if I decide not to wait it will be alright, don’t you think?”

“Absolutely. What other reason am I making the pack daycare for?” My Little Bunny truly was so loving and caring towards everyone.

“Right.” Juniper was still blushing slightly. “Then, perhaps our kids could grow up together.”

“That would be amazing Juniper. You’re going to be my baby’s aunt after all.” She was grinning widely as she said these words to her best friend.

“So, you’re going to continue school right? Even after the baby is born?” Juniper asked curiously.

“Definitely, but I might continue to do the online thing. With how busy things get from time to time it allows me to do everything without the same time constraints”

“You don’t have classes at a set time?” Juniper was still not used to everything Riviana was doing for school.

“There are a few with set times, but the classes are recorded and I can watch them after the fact. But, in all honesty, I work at my own pace on my own time. I work asynchronously.”

“That actually sounds a lot better. With all the changes, not just for you but all of us, it might be easier that way.”

“If you ever decide to switch it up, we could be study buddies and do our work together. It helps cut down on the feeling of being alone.”

“That’d be great, since you and the guys have changed your schedules so much I feel alone as it is.”

It now looked like I could count on Juniper being around to help protect my wife in the future. It was great that she was building such a good group around her. Just as I thought before, she was only so alone because she was so isolated. She’s a very likable person and people just naturally want to flock to her. Well, good people anyway. The not so nice ones would end up being jealous of her beauty, intelligence, and natural ability. I would protect her from that type of thing from now on.

Not long after that conversation, we landed in the courtyard of the magic council headquarters. The build was large and sprawling. It apparently housed several of the more prominent members with lesser witches and warlocks tending to them like they were nobles. I guess in a way they were. Would they welcome Riviana as a noble or a lesser being? I wondered exactly what their reaction would be.

The Aerie Convento looked like an elaborate ski resort. It was in a traditional architecture style that went well with the mountains and trees surrounding it. The snow covered roof and piles of snow drifts were a definite sign that winter hadn’t fully left this high up in the mountains.

As soon as I stepped off the helicopter my nose was assaulted with the strongest smell of lemons and other citrus fruits that I had to wrinkle my nose a little. That was a testament to the sheer number of warlocks that were present. And I guess that citrus was really a signature smell for warlocks. At least it was easily distinguished and we could smell them now.

“Alpha Joaquin, is there something the matter?” Eldrige, the same man from before, asked me with concern written on his face as he saw me and almost everyone who got off the aircraft wrinkle our noses.

“Just, not used to the smell.” I told him as I made the effort to settle my face and adjust to the new scent.

“The smell?” Eldrige looked confused.

“Yes, I thought that, given what has happened lately, that they needed to be able to smell warlocks like I can.” My adorably tactful mate answered for me.

“I was not aware that you were capable of smelling us, Miss Riviana, but now you say that all those present can as well? Interesting.” A new voice, one I have never heard before, entered the conversation. I was noticing the slight differences between each person now. The citrus smells were mixed with others, same as we wolves they seemed to have a multi-layer scent signature for each person. Given time I would be able to smell, and tell, them all apart from each other.

We as a group turned our heads to look at the newcomer while every warlock present lowered their head in a show of deference and respect. Well, I guess it’s safe to assume he is someone of importance here.

“Yes, I didn’t want my group to be at a disadvantage when we fought against Edmond.” My little mate was in full queen mode now, taking the lead.
