Alpha Blake’s POV
I cannot wait for this meeting after dinner. The new people really think that we are all morons. We may not have a fancy packhouse, but we have all seen the show. By the show, I mean his daughter having sex with her mate, and pretending to be her sister. My men and I have seen both videos, and we know Reagan's body about as well as her mate does now. That video has flown through the pack. They needed to be in a secure pack, and I can’t stand the council trying to tell us what we need to do. We do need funds, and they need a safe place. I have already allowed them admittance to the pack, and as far as I am concerned, they are members now. My word is my bond, and I believe in being honest and truthful with my pack members. My men were interested in the girls too, we will have to discuss that after the meeting with their fathers. We have shared before, and can again, but I think that one of my Beta’s, is interested in the Beta female. I may have to disappoint him with that though, as I have my eye on her as well.
I am the Alpha here, and what I say goes. I can already see it in Reagan's eyes, she thinks that she will be the Luna just because she is an alpha female. She is mistaken, I mean I would probably let her bear some of my pups, but I don’t know about the Luna thing. I just can’t see letting the new porn star be my mate and Luna. She is famous now, and not in a good way. Maybe the pack won’t be able to recognize her with her being blonde, with blue eyes now, but Goddess, she is hot either way. I will just have to keep from mentioning to her that she was way hotter with black hair and green eyes. I am quite sure she is jealous of her sister. She is clearly starting to flirt, and I know that she is doing it with the Luna position in mind. They think they are so much smarter than us, and I have to put my cup in front of my mouth to hide the smirk. I really cannot wait for this meeting. Sierra is whining about the new arrivals, and I could see her glaring at both girls in jealousy. Sierra was OK as my girlfriend when I was just a warrior, but now that I am Alpha, I need to really focus on producing strong pups. I am good with having both the new arrivals bear my offspring, both of them will do fine with providing me with what I need.
I know her dad thinks that he can buy us off, but that won’t be happening either. I will provide him some protection, I will only take what he has already offered. He wants a little land, to build a house, and it is a good deal for both of us. He will pay to build his house, and that is fine with me. He already offered to increase my land, and give me the price on their heads. I don’t think he is aware of the actual price on their heads yet, but he will be soon. As soon as we get into the meeting. I already know who he is, I researched him as soon as we got the call from that Silas guy. Both of them are old-school, conniving men. They think they are so much smarter than us, and I won’t be letting them know any different until I need to. The more they think they have the upper hand, the better it is for us. Their opinions of us as ranked members, and our pack, will only give me the advantage when I need it.
I know for a fact that Sierra is royally pissed off, as she has already demanded that I have them leave here tomorrow. She has been my girlfriend for about 2 years, but she is an Omega. She is not a high enough rank for me to accept her as my mate. She cannot bear me strong pups to take over this pack when the time comes. Plus, she has tried for the last two years, and she has never been pregnant. She is chomping at the bit to take that Reagan girl down a peg. I will probably let her do it too. I think it will be fun to watch and see what happens. I know that we were all stunned to see her in real life when she exited that SUV. I should have remembered that she was Alpha Graham’s daughter. It was mentioned in the second video. We were all pretty interested in her, and I saw the smirk Alpha Graham had before he hid it. He is thinking that we are all wanting her as a mate. We all might want to mate her, but none of us want to mark her and claim her as ours.
It was clear from her video showing how relaxed she was, a video that she clearly set up. She was not scared to have sex in front of that camera. That is not a rookie move on her part. That is some advanced and very confident actions. I am sure she fully intended her sister to be the one who was shamed, and it never be traced back to her. I am quite sure she was furious when it did get pointed right back at her. I would be quicker to take that Cheryl girl for a mate. She has Beta blood, and she has been trained. She is much more cautious and attentive to her surroundings. She is careful and I can tell that she is prepared to fight if she needs to. I can already see that she is a good fighter, and I will test that theory out during the meeting tonight. If it is one thing that I know, it is that Sierra is willing to fight for me. She isn’t the strongest fighter, but she isn’t the worst fighter either. Plus, she is really much more aggressive and possessive over me, so this should be a good show.
I will be kicking Sierra out of my office for the actual meeting. I usually do for important meetings, she doesn’t need to know the inner workings of our pack. She will be mad, and the women in the group will all be outside of the door, waiting for their mates, and fathers. We should be able to hear at least a part of the fight. If not I will be prepared to put a stop to it in our own time. I have cameras all around the packhouse, and the seating area where people wait to come to speak with me. I can watch it leading up to the good parts. It should go on for a little while before we hear it anyway since my office is soundproofed. Dinner is over now and as we go to head upstairs, Sierra is all over me, to show that I am hers. She has that backward, she is mine until I decide that I don’t want her anymore. She has been fun, but I think after I see what I need to see here in a minute, I will know what I need to.
I can tell from how Reagan keeps flipping her hair and looking back at me as they follow my dual Beta’s to the office. She is trying her best to entice me, and she is doing a great job. I am interested, but I think that she will have to go to the pack doctor for a checkup before I try anything at all with her. She hasn’t known me an hour, and yet is willing to hop in bed with me. The other girl has not flirted and is staying vigilant just like her father, and Alpha Graham. They are clearly the fighters of this group. The other three seem to depend on them, and I have to say that they are right to be wary of us, I know that we are wary of them.
Trust isn’t instant, and it shouldn’t be. It should be earned, and I don’t know if I, or any of my men, could ever get to trust either of these two men. There is something about them that worries me. But I think that they will stay calm here, not cause waves. They can’t afford to, if they get found out, or end up leaving here, they would not last for long. The world is a hard place, and I can keep them safe here. I can protect them from harm coming to them, as long as they are Guests or members here, they will be kept safe. I will guarantee that for them, my word is my bond. I will make sure that it is kept. We have an elevator, but we won’t all fit into it. It is built into a wall and has wood paneling on it too, so unless you were looking for it, or it opened when you were around, you would miss it. I can see that they didn’t like having to go up the flight of stairs to get to the second floor to go there. They keep thinking poorly of my pack. They assume based on what they have seen of it, never knowing that they are very much incorrect.
We are very high-tech here. Just because we value our heritage and choose to build on our beloved packhouse doesn’t mean we couldn’t build a nice modern one right next to it. For right now, we are satisfied with how our home is. Each time we remodel, the newest innovations and products get included. Our kitchen for instance. It is very impressive, that was a long month of renovations, but it would rival any major restaurant in the world. Stainless steel products. Several sets of double ovens on one wall, and some major cooktops. Two of them are griddles, the other two being actual gas stoves with 8 burners on top and two more stoves with them. We have a total of around 780 members so far. Not all live in the packhouse. Some built their own cabins for their families to live in. But our kitchen gets a lot of use, they cook all three meals, and there is always something to each, no matter what shift you get for patrol.
We also have two apartment complexes that were built about a year ago, they are further back in the woods from us. Both are four-story buildings, that look very similar to each other. We kept it to only four stories because we want the trees to cover them. I don't want to draw a lot of attention to my pack, and I had input that I gave to the last Alpha about that very thing. I was his Beta at that time, but I had strong opinions of how I wanted it to be. One for couples and small families, and one for unmated wolves. Some prefer the quiet that they get from having their own place. They are not large apartments, but they are about 1000 feet each for the unmated wolves. With one bedroom and attached bath, a small kitchen, and a living room area. The couples have a bigger apartment with either 2 or 3 bedrooms, a bigger kitchen, and additional bathrooms. My people are very happy here, and our pack grows each year. Having that land on either side of us, and the new injection of funds will allow me to fence our property in. I have always wanted to do that. Alpha Cole had a great idea, and I am going to improve upon it. I will have sensors at the top of the wall. One that doesn’t alert unless 50 lbs. or more is on it, to keep it from sounding all the time.
I am full of ideas that I want to implement for my pack, some are cheaper to do, but that fence has been a dream of mine for a long time, as well as expanding the pack. I am willing to take in “misfits” and people that aren’t wanted by other packs. Not anyone is dangerous, but wolves that were looking for a place to live and be safe. Most as so thankful for the protection we provide that they are glad to help us out with pack duties. They work and we provide for them all. No matter if they work in the kitchen, housekeeping, laundry, as a warrior, or whatever spot they can. It has increased our numbers to the highest that they have ever been. We have 780 members right now, and 786 with the new members. I hope in a year that we can increase to over a thousand. I want to become one of the strongest packs around, and with Alpha Graham's money, I believe that I can achieve it.
Sierra is getting madder and madder at the flirty looks that Reagan is sending and I know that she is about to say something about the video. I grabbed her hand tighter and when she looked at me I shook my head to let her know not to say whatever it is that she is about to say. I would prefer to drop that bomb myself. We approach the office and my Beta who was leading the group points to the small seating area and motions for the women to stay there. Sierra gives a smug smile before entering my office, and I follow behind her. She will not be staying here, she will be leaving but I will be introducing my men to them first, and she can stay for that. If I boot her now, I will miss the show, and frankly, I don’t want to miss a minute of it. Sierra plops down on my lap like she is used to doing, and I am good with that too. I allow Alpha Graham and Silas to sit down and then I clear my throat so they know that I am starting the meeting now.
“Gentlemen, we welcome you to the Black Moon pack. I want to introduce you to my men, I have two Betas and two Gammas. They all stood behind me as I introduced all my men to them, and watched as they sized them up. “Garrett Black, first Beta, and my right-hand man, I trust him completely. if you need something you can tell him. He can take care of anything in this pack” Garrett gives a small nod to them and stepped back, he is a wall of muscle, and at 6’3” he is a strong fighter, he is the same age as me at 22 years old. Black hair and hazel eyes, and he is a favorite of most of the women in the pack. His true mate died in a rogue attack years ago. He stays to himself and doesn't date, but he if wanted to, he would have no problems at all finding a date. “Brady Harding, my second Beta, and he conduct's a lot of the training here, along with the head training warrior, Wesley Sanders, who is not here tonight.” With his baby face, blonde hair, and blue eyes Brady is very popular with the ladies. At 6’2” and a talented fighter he is a little younger than us at 21 years old. Brady likes to go out and learn other forms of defense, and fighting techniques and implement them into our training. He enjoys going into the human world and seeing what they have to offer. I am not a huge fan of humans, they are very finicky and they tend to be very judgy about things that are different than the norm, so I just chose to avoid them.
I pause to see if they have any questions and then proceed with my last two men. “This is my first Gamma, Marc Caldwell, if you need information on the pack, you need to go to him.” Marc is 6’3” with brown hair and light blue eyes that almost seem like they can look right through you to your soul, even at 22 years old. He is very intelligent and listens more than he speaks. He will not be giving up a lot of information to them, and he knows who we are dealing with here as well. He doesn’t trust them but is willing to accept them until we see if they reveal their true colors. He will not hesitate in killing any of them, to protect the pack. He is one of my most valued advisors, and strongest fighters, I listen to him when he speaks.
“Finally, we have Travis Bradford, my second Gamma and one of the fastest wolves present in the pack. An excellent tracker and strong fighter, as they all are. I trust my men implicitly. They all have my faith, and I will always take their recommendations.” Travis stepped forward and gives a nod to them. We are all very attached and link to each other constantly. They know of my decisions before anyone else in the pack does. Travis is the youngest of my men, but he has a strong wolf. At 20 years old, he is already 6’4” just like me. He is a wonder at tracking and getting up to speed on what is happening in fights and attacks. I don’t have to give him orders as he almost naturally seems to know what I am about to say. My men then go to take their seats on either end of the couches in my office. That is where they stay unless the shit is about to go down, and at that point one of them, usually Garrett or Marc will stay in position if they need to take someone out. But they will always be somewhere to the side, or behind the person who is sentenced to death. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Right now they are all looking comfortable on the couches, but I know, they are ready for action in the bat of an eye. Neither of these men would be able to touch me before my men took care of them.
I had said that I trust my men as a warning to them. Even if I don’t catch them in a lie, or doing something wrong, if any of my men do, that will be it for them. I will call the council on them myself, but until I decide to do it, they all know to leave it alone. I will not allow someone to take over or make decisions for this pack. It would be foolish for them to do so, as it would be the last thing that they do.
“This pack is up and coming, and we have an eclectic mixture of ranks and wolves here. We happily accept nonviolent wolves into our pack. There are a lot of wolves out there that need protection, and that is what we strive to provide. I care very much for my pack and its people. I want everyone to feel safe and secure here, at all times. I will not allow people who are a danger to others to stay in my pack. I have done background checks on you both. I know why you are here, and I am glad to welcome you to Black Moon. Sierra, please excuse us for our meeting” I told her, and watched her frown grow at being kicked out. Yes, she is pissed, this should be a good show.
