Rejecting My Ungrateful Pack Chapter 10
January 2nd, 9 a.m.The pack headquarters was eerily quiet.I rode the elevator alone, my footsteps echoing in the empty halls.Many offices were dark. Some wolves had taken unpaid leave. Others had simply left the pack.I pushed open my office door. Elara was already waiting.“Good morning, Alpha.” Her voice was tired. “The year-end summary is ready.”I took the file and scanned the data.Turnover: 32%Operational Costs: - 47%Per-Capita Productivity: + 23%“Good numbers,” I said, putting the report down. “Anything else?”Elara hesitated. “Alpha, I need to share some… feedback.”“Speak.”“The pack members are very unhappy with the bonuses,” she said, choosing her words carefully. “They feel the amounts were too low, and… and they miss the old days.”I looked up at her.“Miss them?”“Yes.” She nodded. “A lot of them are talking privately about the ten-thousand-dollar bonuses, the five-thousand-dollar bonuses, all the extra benefits…”“They want to go back?”“I think… yes.” Elara’s voic

December 31st. Bonus Day.I sat in my office, looking at the thick stack of files in Elara’s hands.“Alpha, all the bonuses have been calculated.” Her voice was heavy. “Are you sure you want to issue these amounts?”I took the file and flipped to the first page.Amy Wilson - Accountant - Annual Bonus: $127.00Jake Brown - Marketing Specialist - Annual Bonus: ($45.00)Sarah Davis - HR Manager - Annual Bonus: $892.00Thomas Miller - Head of Security - Annual Bonus: $234.00A negative number.Jake’s fine for throwing away the charm was more than his bonus.“Send them out,” I said, closing the file. “Not one cent more.”At 2 p.m., we held a pack-wide assembly.The wolves filed into the conference room, their faces anxious. They knew this year was bad, but a sliver of hope remained.In past years, everyone got at least five thousand dollars.I walked to the stage and looked out at the dozens of expectant faces.“Everyone, this year’s bonuses have been calculated.”The room went silent.“Und

December 21st. The winter solstice.A makeshift distribution table was set up in the lobby of the pack headquarters.No flowers, no banners, no celebratory music.Just a white plastic table and a few cardboard boxes.I stood at my office window on the second floor, looking down at the scattered line of pack members.“Alpha, all the Moonflower Charms are here,” Elara reported, her voice tight with discomfort. “The artisan confirmed a cost of twenty-eight dollars each.”“Good,” I said without turning. “Begin.”Downstairs, the first wolf stepped up to the table.Amy, a young accountant from finance. She timidly gave her name, and the staff member handed her a small, elegant pouch.Amy opened it and pulled out the Moonflower Charm.Even from my window, I could read the emotions on her face: a flicker of anticipation, a wave of confusion, a crash of disappointment, and finally, the blank emptiness of despair.It was a palm-sized woven ornament, with pale silver threads forming an intricate

The next morning, my office door was thrown open.Chloe rushed in. Her eyes were red and swollen, her clothes a mess. She looked like she hadn’t slept.“Alpha! Please!” She dropped to her knees in front of my desk. “Give me another chance! I’ll do anything!”I didn’t even look up from the report I was reading.“Elara,” I said calmly. “Why is there a stranger in my office?”Elara appeared at the doorway instantly. “I’m sorry, Alpha. Security is on their way.”“A stranger?” Chloe shrieked. “I’m a member of this pack! I have the right to—”“You have no rights,” I said, finally lifting my head. My voice was devoid of warmth. “Last night, I struck your name from the Pack Charter. You are unbound. As of this moment, you have no connection to the New Moon Pack. You are a rogue.”Her face went white. “No! You can’t! I’m young! I’ll change!”“Change?” I scoffed. “A thirty-two-million-dollar loss. How do you plan to ‘change’ that?”Two security guards appeared at the door.“Get her out of here

I reached for the communicator.“Alpha!” Marcus shouted, trying to grab everyone’s attention. “This must be a misunderstanding with the Blackstone Pack! We should discuss this internally, not show a sensitive business letter that could cause a panic!”He wasn't trying to stop me. He was giving me an out. He could play the reasonable one looking out for the pack, while I became the hothead. Classic.I shot him a look, a cold smile on my lips. “A misunderstanding? Marcus, I think it’s time everyone saw the real value of ‘tradition’ in the business world.” I glanced at the email's signature. Robert Blackstone. A shark who wouldn’t let a thirty-two-million-dollar meal swim away over a bit of online drama. This felt performative. It felt like a message.I stabbed a finger at the screen.The entire message flooded the giant screen, every word sharp and clear:To Alpha Emilia of the New Moon Pack:Following an emergency board meeting, and in light of your pack’s recent and very public interna

Time froze.Three seconds.Five.The roar of applause died.The triumphant smiles on their faces froze. They morphed into confusion, then shock, and finally, sheer, raw panic.“Wh-what?” someone stammered.“The ten thousand dollars… is canceled?”Then the room exploded.“No!” Chloe leaped to her feet, her voice like shattering glass.“Alpha! You’re twisting our words! We demanded both! The cash and the traditional gifts!”Her words were a lit fuse. The pack detonated.“Yeah! We want both!”“Why do we have to choose?”“This is revenge, Alpha!”Pack members shot to their feet, their angry roars deafening.I didn’t have to raise my voice. I just unleashed my Alpha command, and the very air turned to stone.The roars died in their throats, strangled into pained whimpers. A few younger wolves in the front row collapsed, their legs giving out from under them. The only sound in the entire hall was my own heartbeat.“Quiet,” I said, my voice cold.“Chloe, what did you just say?” I stared at he
