Chapter 4 - Consequences

Alpha Nico’s POV

I stand and walk to the window looking out over the pack.  It’s taken so long to get our numbers up, we have just above 1000, and that has taken centuries.  My blood line is one that is a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess herself, the very first werewolf to ever exist.  I look out over the pack, “he doesn’t want to come here, doesn’t want to send the other wolf to me, fine, we’ll just bring his pup here, I’ll have a nice little conversation with her till he gets here then.  I’ll educate her quickly.

I picked up my phone and called Phil, he and Frank work in the small town at a renovation site, they can swing by the café and bring her here and that’s that.

 Phil answers his phone, “Alpha Nico, how can I help you?”  This is how a wolf acts with their Alpha.

I cleared my throat, “there’s a pup in town at that little café’ near where you work, she tiny and blonde, bring her to me.”

He gulped, “Alpha Nico, what pup works at the café?”

I growled, “just get the pup here, take her by any means, but arrive here within the hour,” I hung up. 

I watched out the window as the small blonde girl stepped out of the car, but I wasn’t expecting her reaction.  I couldn’t stop my laughter as I watched this tiny girl keep my trained warriors at bay, swinging her purse, her body a blur as she spun, hitting them with it.  I watched Phil stumble back as the purse made contact with the side of his head.  Her choice of profanities had me almost rolling on the floor with laughter as she called them every name I’ve ever heard of and some, I swear she made up all on her own.  Then a car rolled up and a man I didn’t know stepped out, I mind linked my warriors to stand down.  I watched as the man approached and escorted the small spitfire to his car.  I mind linked my warrior’s, “do not allow him in that car to drive off.”

When he tossed his phone inside at the pup and shut the door, he turned and headed to the entrance.  I put on my stoic mask and blew out my breath.

I swung the door open just as the man was going to knock, “who are you?”  I demanded as he lowered his arm.

He nodded, “Steven Watson, my boss, Bryce Caswell said your Alpha wanted to see one of us, so I’m here,” he looked around and stepped in.

I nodded, “I’m Alpha Nico, that entire scene outside could have been avoided if your, boss would have listened and sent you here earlier, the pup wouldn’t have been touched.”

He stopped at stared at me, “touched, who touched her,” he demanded.

I shook my head, “obviously no one could get near her, or didn’t you see what I just saw.”

He chuckled, “she's feisty,” he smirked and followed me to my office, he sat looking around the room, “so you’re the Alpha, never met one before, you’re younger than I’d expected.”

I cocked a brow and sat back in my chair, “you don't know anything about packs, pack life, hierarchy in the pack or much at all do you?”

He shook his head, “not really, we were never in a pack, never new any existed and never expected to find any others like ourselves, but here we are.”

I nodded, “Now, let’s start with where are your parents?”

He shrugged, “don’t know, I was found roaming around a forest and was brought up in a forester home.  I met Russ and Bryce in school and we just all hit it off, I guess because we are what we are we felt at ease with each other.”

I nodded, “you never felt any connection with anyone else, like you did with them?”

He shook his head, “not until Bryce mated with Catalina and then when they had Amelia, I felt it with them too.”

“Amelia, the spitfire outside, how old is she?”

He smiled, “our princess is 17,” he sighed, “her mother took her away from Bryce about 15 years ago, I’ve been tracking them ever since and now all this is happening, it’s overwhelming him, he didn’t need his child kidnapped, you’re quite an asshole kid.”

My hands slammed on my desk as I stood growling, the windows shook as the desk cracked and I watched as the man flinched in front of me, raising his hands up in surrender, “for fuck’s sake kid, relax, you got some powers there don’t you.”

I stalked around my desk glaring at him, “my name is Alpha Nico, not kid, you will address me with respect or,” I cocked my brow, “I will not hold back my power with you again.”

He pressed his lips together, “you were holding back,” he bobbed his head, “impressive, but you’ll need to excuse me, I’m not accustomed to pack life or any of this, neither is Bryce, Russ or Catalina and Amelia she is in the dark, unless her father is telling her right now.”

I glared at him, “ignorance is no excuse for your blatant disrespect, especially since I already told you who I am, tread lightly Steve or that young pup out there may be driving herself out of here and you may find I’m not so much of a kid.”  I arched a brow, “do you not have a wolf, or do you just ignore him?”  I sat back down and stared at him, “why did this Catalina leave her mate and take their pup with her?”

He shrugged, “from what we knew, her wolf was driving her crazy and she snapped.”

I nodded, “Bryce and his daughter belong to our pack and Catalina since she is mated to him, you and this Russ can join with us, to ensure the pack bond, keep your wolves happy and healthy.”

I nodded, “okay, we live in Florida, not here, so how’s that supposed to work, we have a thriving business down there and we enjoy the tropical weather, but good to know we are welcome, so if that’s it, I really need to get Amelia to her parents, you know her mother is not doing well and she needs to be there.”

I nodded, “from what I’m told, her mother will recover tonight, as long as her father does what he should have done years ago and avoided all this mess, but then again I wouldn’t have known of your existence or you ours, so perhaps it was fate that it happened the way it did.”

He snorted, “fate?”  He shook his head, “none of them would agree with you.”  I stood and walked with him to the entrance, he turned halfway down the steps “your fate was uncertain just a few minutes ago, you have no idea what would have happened if Amelia would have been hurt.”
