"Greetings, Alpha Supreme", the leader of the troop that had just burst into the conference room greets.
Marvin immediately relaxes on hearing the voice and sighs. It was a woman, a very thuggish smelling one though, but certainly a woman.
"Do you realize that you have just committed a crime against your Alpha Supreme by barging into this place?", Jonathan snarls and the leader laughs.
"I am Gabriella Stone, daughter of the Alpha of the Red Moon pack in Green Bay, Wisconsin. My father said to send his regards", she introduces.
"Do you think it's appropriate to speak to your Alpha Supreme when he can't even see your face?", Magnus asks in a calm tone having figured that she had to be Marvin's new mate.
"My apologies", she sighs and signals her subordinates to take off their helmets.
Once their helmets are off, she turns back to face the members of the werecouncil and gently takes her own helmet off making her light brown hair fall out.
Marvin watches as she takes off her helmet and could feel his wolf growl in lust as her hair cascaded down her face in a way that he strangely found attractive.
"Satisfactory now?", she asks and Magnus nods.
"So your father sent you to disrupt my meeting with the Alpha Ultras?", he asks.
"Not really, my Lord. He actually just said to pass a message to all the Alpha Ultras and you. What's the better way to do that than to visit the meeting of the werecouncil?", she shrugs and Magnus laughs.
"You must be a very daring one, I can see that", he comments.
"Not at all, my Lord, I just like shortcuts", she waives. "It would have been so stressful to meet with all the twenty-six Alpha Ultras and the Alpha Supreme without doing this"
"There are actually twenty-seven Alpha Ultras, young lady", Martins argues in an angry tone and she smiles.
"I beg to disagree, Young Master", she chuckles.
"What do you mean by that? Weren't there already twenty-six Alpha Ultras before the creation of a new province?", Martins counters.
"The new province... That's actually the reason I'm here"
"What is wrong with the new province?", he snaps.
"Nothing at all, Young Master, but with it's Alpha Ultra however... There might be"
"How dare you question the decision of your Alpha Supreme and the werecouncil? Have you lost your interest in having your head?", Martins fires at her and Magnus touches his shoulder.
"Easy now, Martins... Let her explain herself", Magnus chuckles and Gabriella smirks. "So what exactly is your point?"
"My point is that the decision on the person suitable for the position of alpha ultra was not a pleasing one to the people of that province", she explains and Martins' eyes widen in indignation but he keeps mute.
"It was not a pleasing decision to the province or it was not a pleasing decision to...", Magnus is asking when he realizes he didn't know the name of Gabriella's pack.
"The Red Moon pack", Jonathan supplies just as quickly already knowing why Magnus stopped halfway.
"Exactly that", Magnus smiles.
"The Red Moon pack is very distressed and hurt by the decision of the werecouncil but besides that...", she is answering when Jonathan cuts her short before she could finish.
"The Red Moon pack or the Alpha of the Red Moon pack and his fiery daughter?", Jonathan asks and Gabriella rolls her eyes.
"The Red Moon pack", she spits in reply with gritted teeth. "But besides that, I can mention a few other packs that are also displeased with the choice of Alpha Ultra for Wisconsin and Illinois states", she completes after continuing from the point where she was cut short and Magnus chuckles while Martins is blazing with anger confused at why his father seemed to be calm.
"Why don't you mention some of this packs, young lady?"
"Gabriella is the name", she supplies.
"Should I prefix a Miss to that or a Mrs?", Magnus asks and her smile falters.
"Miss, my Lord", she responds.
"You must have a mate though, so how does he feel about having his woman prancing about the country and challenging the Alpha Supreme?", Magnus teases and her eyes darken.
"That's beside the issue on ground, my Lord. I will move to mentioning the packs that disagree with the werecouncil's choice of Alpha Ultra for Wisconsin and Illinois", she responds without allowing her indifferent tone to change throughout her speech and Magnus chuckles.
"And how do I know that you won't be mentioning random names of packs in that area?"
"I was also thinking that, My Lord, which was why I came with a list of the packs that think the same as the Red Moon pack", she announces and brings out a folded sheet of paper. "That bears the names and signature of the Alphas of these packs", she completes once she has unfolded the paper.
"You're a very resourceful one", Magnus commends.
"I just try to be perfect at whatever I do, my Lord", she smiles.
"The same way I'm going to be perfect in tearing you apart if you continue acting so...", Martins is retorting when Magnus glares at him.
"Shut up", Magnus commands and Martins sighs. "One of you should bring me that list", he orders.
The Alpha Ultra nearest to Gabriella collects the list and quickly brings it over to the Alpha Supreme. Magnus collects the paper immediately it gets to him then looks over the list slowly before looking to Gabriella again.
"Well... That's a lot of packs", he chuckles. "So who do they think would make a better Alpha Ultra? Your father?"
"Actually... Yes", she replies just as quickly and the Alpha Supreme and his Beta immediately burst into laughter.
"Who exactly is your father?", Magnus asks.
"Richard Stone"
"Ahh... That man", Jonathan mutters and she raises an eyebrow.
"Is there anything peculiar about him?", Gabriella asks and Jonathan turns to Magnus.
"He was one of our options", Jonathan reveals once Magnus gives him the go-ahead.
"So why did you decide on someone else? Because he's your son?"
"Our Alpha Supreme has never been a biased leader, young lady and it was not his personal decision but that of the werecouncil", Jonathan declares. "The werecouncil will think about your proposal though so you may leave now"
"Fine", she replies then turns to Marvin. "I believe we need to have a conversation", she sighs struggling with her wolf who was pleading for her to pounce on the hottie and kiss him till the calm look on his face was replaced with wild lust.
'I can't believe he's so calm when I'm practically running crazy trying to stop myself from kissing the breath out of him', she thinks.
"You have five minutes to join me outside", she spits and storms out.
"Is she the one?", Dale whispers and Marvin nods.
"Is it just me or did she just give off the aura of an Alpha when asking Marvin to meet her outside?", Martins asks.
"She's an Alpha female, very rare occurrence", Jonathan replies.
"That still doesn't give her the right to command her Alpha Ultra and walk about like she owns the place", Martins snarls.
"I didn't think the rumours were true... But that still doesn't make her father's decision to hand over the pack to her proper", Magnus muses. "Marvin, are you still here? You only have five minutes"
"Are you allowing..."
"Yes", Magnus replies before he could finish and Marvin immediately stands up to leave as calmly as he could. "The moon goddess never fails to bring a solution to every problem"
Marvin is about to sigh when he realizes his wolf was not affected at all and pauses. He had felt the loss of his previous mate the moment he lost her even before finding out she was gone but his wolf was surprisingly unaffected this time. Getting rejected probably wouldn't be as painful as the death of a mate but at least he ought to feel something. "Damn!", he suddenly hears Gabriella say followed by a long groan and his eyes light up in worry. "I don't want him! I don't want him! Just take him away already!", she screams and he smirks realizing his speculation was right. "I guess the moon goddess wants us to be together by all means," he shrugs and she screams again. "Calm down, Gabriella! People are beginning to stare at us." "What do I care?", she retorts and begins storming out of the restaurant. Marvin immediately stands to his feet and drops some cash on the table then hurries after her. "Sir, your order is here already!", a waitress yells as he leaves while dropping a
Several days later, all the inconveniences caused by the fire in the pack have been forgotten and plans for the launching are uppermost in the minds of everyone. Marvin is sitting in his new office, planning how best to complete all the requirements they were to meet before the launching when there is a knock at the door. "Come in," he answers, without looking up from his desk and Trevor walks in with his usual cheery countenance. "I really love the outside view from this new office of yours, it really is the best office in the building", Trevor praises. "As it should be", Marvin smiles. "Someone is being boastful" "Someone is liking another man's office better than his", Marvin fires back and both men laugh. "So, I have some documents for you to sign," Trevor announces once they have put aside their mirth and drops a folder on Marvin's desk. "I'm getting tired of having to sign so much paperwork", Marvin groans. "This is going to be the story of your life till you're old a
Varus is the first recover from his shock after Marvin's declaration and he immediately clears his throat. "Surely you don't mean that", he stammers and Marvin chuckles. "Actually yes, I do. My pack is a young and fast developing pack, there'll be opportunities for us to be an ultra pack in the future if we work hard. I don't mind having the position of Alpha Ultra in addition to my position as Alpha of Moonstone pack but if you have anything interesting to offer, I would be very willing to handover my position to you" "Em... There's emm... I could offer you my daughter of course", Richard stammers. "I don't want to force my relationship with your daughter, Alpha Stone, but if I had the desire to, I could just storm your pack whenever I like and take her away. I could have even kept her with me the two times she visited my home" "I could make you your pack the second-in-command to mine" "I'm already first in the dominance hierarchy of this province", Marvin reminds Richard
Varus paces about Richard's study with a large frown on his face. Richard is sitting on his chair in the office also seeming pensive but not as much as Varus was. "I don't why you're refusing to arrange a meeting to discuss getting Gabriella back", Varus complains. "I can't request for a meeting with the Alpha Supreme's son, that would mean I'm admitting defeat", Richard argues. "Then do it! This bid of yours to become the Alpha Ultra was not going to work anyway" "It would have worked if she didn't get mated to him" "Well, she did. If you were so capable of being the Alpha Ultra, then why didn't you get elected by the werecouncil in the first place?", Varus retorts. "Do you think the Alpha Supreme would choose someone else over his own son?", Richard challenges. "It's not like it was his personal decision, there were twenty-six Alpha Ultras and two aides of the Alpha Supreme in the werecouncil apart from the Alpha Supreme" "But his vote counted as five votes and each vote of
"I'm here", Tyra mumbles on entering the kitchen and Stacey turns from what she was doing briefly to smile at her before continuing to work. "So what can I help with?" "Well, you can peel the potatoes on that cabinet" "Okay", Tyra cheerily replies and moves to do as instructed. "I'm sorry about today's accident", she speaks up after a while of silence. "It's not like it was your fault", Stacey shrugs. "Well, it actually isn't. It's still kind of embarrassing though, I just met Castor and you, and everyone then suddenly this" "Does it happen frequently though?", Stacey asks after a pause. "I have upsurges on moonless nights and every now and then but today's episode was particularly strong. I've never had such a strong outburst since learning to suppress my powers" "So before learning to suppress your powers, this kind of outburst happened on every day you had outbursts?" "On moonless nights, yes. My upsurges also happened more frequently back then", Tyra replies. "So why don
Castor kicks the door of his room shut behind him after walking pass with Tyra in his arms and moves to the bed to drop her. Once he drops her on the bed, he walks to his wardrobe just as quickly and picks out a t-shirt and sweatpants. "I hope it won't be too big on you", he mutters as he drops the clothes on the bed with his eyes averted. "I'll head out so you can dress up" Tyra exhales once he was out of the room and picks up the clothes he had dropped. They were almost falling off the bed since he hadn't been looking when he dropped them. "My brothers weren't even half as neat as this", she chuckles on seeing how tidy the room was while looking around but her smile soon freezes at the memory of her family. She quickly shoves aside the thought and goes back to thinking about Castor instead. She found it impressive that his eyes hadn't lingered on her body even for a moment while bringing her in. He had also been calm and caring all along and was even the Alpha's ward from wh
