8: Dragonmoon Pack

Dragonmoon Pack

“Are you absolutely positive she will attend the meeting?” Alpha Serburi was getting antsy every day as it closed on this meeting. He quite adored the Samarah turned Samantha girl and was excited to hear of her newest product. He had three daughters by blood, but he felt a fatherly concern for Samantha as well. He was one of her biggest supporters.

“Yes father, Angel convinced her easily.” Nicholas replied. He was antsy as well, and why shouldn’t he be? He could barely contain his excitement in seeing her again. They spoke often on the phone, but he hadn’t seen her in months. He had been busy with his father and pack matters, not to mention work.

They operated a firm that was a branch of Silverclaw Enterprise for Samantha, and it was doing well. But what she really needed was more labs. This meeting with the alphas was to help her gain footing for purchasing buildings in other pack territories. Nicholas had been acting as a proxy for her, but in doing so, he was unable to be around her as much as he would like.

Given his degree from TSU, he was definitely qualified to help her with whatever the tech company needed.

“I’m worried about her seeing Paladin after all this time.” Serburi mused. Sure, he was not actually Samantha’s father, but Paladin was. And he wasn’t a good one. Not to her anyway. It didn’t stop her from adoring her younger brother Davis though.

“She is strong, besides, I thought Davis was going in his stead?” Nicholas inquired.

Serburi shook his head. “He isn’t. Paladin shut him down. After all the effort they put into the boy you would think that they would give him the reigns. He is 23 after all.”

“Do you think they will recognize her?” Luna Aldra asked as she walked into the office with her husband and son. She had met Samantha multiple times now and also adored her, as did the sisters, she was like an extension of the Borne family that they all treasured.

Nicholas shook his head. “No, they never even saw her before college.” He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated at the Lynxmoon family and their disdain for Samantha. “Besides, she made a nano-tech just before leaving TSU that can alter an appearance or a scent even. It was her way for a clean break.” Nicholas smiled. “She is a force to be reckoned with.”

The alpha and luna of Dragonmoon silently agreed with Nicholas. After all this time, that boy was still smitten with her despite her unwillingness to be with him officially. Not that Nicholas begrudged her for her choice, she needed to know that she had the wings to fly on her own. And she was doing well.

“Maybe she will get here early enough for lunch with the family before that meeting.”  Aldra said excitedly. “I feel so bad, we haven’t been able to visit her in a year.”

Serburi rubbed her shoulders and brought her back to him. “She understands the weight of a pack my luna, hers has grown significantly my dear.”

Aldra relaxed into Serburi’s touch and Nicholas looked away with a pang of jealousy at being unable to touch Samantha for so long. He really needed to find a way to follow her to Miami permanently, maybe he could get her to change her mind about being with him.

“She should land tomorrow morning, I will talk to her about lunch.” Nicholas said, hoping to make his mother feel better.

She smiled her thanks at him and Nicholas left the room. His phone vibrated with an incoming text.

‘Plz meet us when we land. She misses you. -D.’

‘What time?’ he texted back.

‘6 AM!! Early!’

‘You got it. Don’t tell her.’

‘My lips are sealed!’ 

Nicholas set the phone down on his nightstand and smiled. Damon was always looking out for Samantha and he appreciated the guy immensely. He also appreciated that he was gay, or he might be jealous at how much Damon adored her. Not that it was really his fault, Samantha saved his life, literally. And then he found his mate, Carlton. Damon was fierce in his loyalty to Sam, everyone who took the Silverclaw name was fiercely loyal to her, but Damon was on another level. I was sure he would drop everything for her, hell the guy refused to move where his mate lived so he could stay by Samantha’s side in Miami.

Carlton loved Sam too, so he gave in and went to Miami, his parents took it difficultly, but they understood it as well. Having the twins there with her was another edge for Samantha too, another pack who was her ally. That gave her three loyal packs, and she needed all she could get to pull off what she was attempting. Carlton also proved himself in his strength. Yes he was a gay boy with high fashion sense, but he was unusually strong for a werewolf. He became Samantha’s general quickly.

“Nick?” Kalton’s voice sounded in the hall of the pack house.

“What is it?”

“Amy is here.”

Nicholas frowned. What the hell? He went out to meet Kalton and frowned.

“Why?”

“To see you silly.” Amy’s voice was purposefully sultry making Nicholas growl.

“We’ve literally not spoken in 7 years, what the hell do you want?”

Nicholas clenched his teeth and fisted his hands so he wouldn’t punch her as she slid a finger over his chest.

“Didn’t you miss me baby?”

“You rejected me and what, think that I have been pining for you all this time?” Nicholas scoffed. “Get a clue Amy, not interested.” He smacked her hand away and went to his room slamming the door behind him.

Amy pouted in the hall for a moment before looking at Kalton. “You made it seem like he would see me.” She accused him.

Kalton snorted. “No, I said no such thing. But you only hear what you want to hear Amy. It’s all about you, as usual. Besides, Nicholas has a new girl. Has for awhile now.”

Amy’s face became an ugly sneer at Kalton’s words, but instead of explaining, he shook his head and walked away.
