The next few weeks are filled with meeting after meeting, after meeting, I had no choice as I had to catch up on all the work that I didn't do while I was at King Malik's territory and working things out with Yasmine... I groan at the thought of her, her scent is slowly fading from our room I have however managed to keep a couple of pieces of her clothing separate and saturated with her scent so if the loneliness of the mate bond affects me too much it is there for me. We don’t really sleep much. I rest while Morpheus takes us out and we run the territory every night, taking care of any rogues that decide that they want to try to enter my territory.I don't pay much attention as this meeting is the same as the one I had 4 hrs ago just for a different pack. My informants that Raphael sent out have all come back with locations of illegal sex and slave villages, one even stumbled on a breeding camp, he has inter-graded himself into the camp and is keeping Raphael up to date on any new in
As I go to tell her that I love her too, she disappears and the emptiness returns, telling me that they must have given her that drug she mentioned again. I hate this feeling of emptiness. Morpheus howls in my head and I return my attention back to the males in front of me. "Raphael, get in contact with our informants within Valentino's territory. Tell them to keep an eye and ear out for anything on Yasmine's arrival, but make sure it is on the down low." He nods and leaves the office as he says, "Yes, Alpha." "Zaire, that list of fighting packs. Do we have any informants in any of them?" "Yes." "Good, get in touch with them and discreetly see if they have any information about a possible new fighter that can't fight." "On it Alpha." He then follows Raphael out of the office. I take a few deep breaths, getting my emotions and Morpheus's conflicting rage under control before I walk out of my office and return to the meeting room and the 10 Alphas waiting in there. As I re-e
I feel her tense as she eyes the Alphas in front of us, but doesn't argue with me. I give her a soft kiss on the neck as she steps out of my arms. She then slowly makes her way around the room touching first Maverick and then moving around to run her hand over Harrison's shoulders, then as she goes to walk past Rhett he grabs her around the waist and with a slight scream of surprise from her, pulls her into his lap so she is straddling him. I watch as Rhett places slobbery kisses along her neck, and Vivian smiles as she lets out a small moan. Showing me that even with the daggers she was sending my way, she was enjoying every moment, and that I wasn't mistaken when I chose her for this, knowing she would love it. Keeping up my facade, I smirk and then say, "Gentlemen, since your attention is now focused somewhere else I think we will call this meeting to an end for the day… Alphas you can either take her to your own private rooms individually or you can use one of the free guest ro
"My feelings exactly. I would like to continue King Darius' mission and put an end to as many of these camps as I can." "I can now see why you didn’t include the others in this part of the meeting. There is no way those Alphas would even consider agreeing to what you are now proposing. Now, how are you planning on raiding these camps and such? Won't you need the King's approval? Raiding so many packs and territories?" "Of course, each raid will be done properly and by the book. At the same time, I will be looking for the females and males, including my mate that was taken from Alpha Jasper's pack and territory." That, of course, would depend on whose territory that they are in as going through Malik would definitely give some of them the heads up. I am not stupid; I now realise that the reason he and his father never continued with King Darius' mission of shutting all of them down is that some of the illegal packs, camps and villages are either run by them or they are involved cl
I am impressed as I always am when I visit, but this time I am keeping my eyes open that little more. I notice that a number of the trainees have a few injuries that are not from normal training or sparring. I turn to Alpha Adrian, “Why are they still training?” “Who?” “Those three over there…” I point to the ones that are the most injured and then continue, “They are injured and don’t seem to have been given the right amount of time to recover?” “Oh, those… They insisted that they could continue. They were involved in confronting a group of rogues trying to come into our territory yesterday.” For some reason, I don’t believe him. After every fight, a warrior is required to take at least two to three days to recover, and that is only for minor injuries. Their injuries look to be a bit more than just something minor. Looking at all of them, I come to the conclusion that they were made to come train or lose their position or possible position. As I scan the training field once more
Felix slowly loses his temper, obviously fighting his wolf as he says.“FATHER… That is no excuse. The training covers everything that is needed. I know as you had me doing it since I was 5. What else have you changed since I have been gone?”“That is a good question, Alpha Adrian... Last time I was here there were not only young pups running around but many females, however, my Beta here tells me that there are very few to no pups and the females he saw were all under the age of 17, care to explain?”“I had to move my vulnerable to a camp nearby so that the warrior trainees weren’t distracted by them…”“But wouldn’t the females left be just as vulnerable? Shouldn’t they have gone and some older ones stay?”I watch as he is running out of excuses and getting more and more uncomfortable, especially under his son's intense gaze. Felix surprises me as he then pushes for an answer to my question.“Father, what have you done? And Why?”“I… I… I had no choice…” he lowers his head as he answ
I enter the Alpha office and walk over to the sofa. As soon as I put the pup down on the sofa, she whimpers and quickly gets off and scurries into the corner. I look at Felix and then back at the pup. I move slowly over to her as she is now shaking and fear is coming off of her in waves. I crouch down and whisper,“Shh, it's okay, little one, no one is going to hurt you…”"I’m not allowed in here unless it is for one of the Alpha’s punishments… What did I do wrong, Alpha sir?" She looks over my shoulder at Felix before continuing,"Even though it hurt, I was doing everything Beta sir was asking of me…"A low growl escapes me, and then I hear three more behind me. I turn slightly and see Felix, Robert and Raphael all standing with their eyes locked on the young pup in the corner. I go to say something else to her, but Felix walks up and then crouches down next to me and whispers,“I am Alpha Felix and I am your Alpha now, sweetheart, and I say that you will not be punished and that you
I take this chance to have a look at the others still on their knees, but they seem to be looking at the scene unfolding before them, surprised. Felix pulls back and growls a little too harshly,“What happened? Why are you down here?”She whimpers and steps back, even more, lowing her head once more before whispering,“I’m sorry Alpha, I will keep a better hold on her…”She then quickly moves back to the other end of the room. I watch as Felix starts to step forward, obviously going to follow her. I put my hand on his shoulder and whispered,“This is not the time or place… She remembers herself, but she has been conditioned for at least the last 3 years, if not longer. Let's check out the other room and then maybe call her up to the office and ask your questions and get Lillian to have a look at her at the same time…”He watches her scurry back to the end of the room and then resume her place on her knees with the young pup on her lap. I turn and tug lightly on his shoulder, getting h
