The Rogue Kings

I cracked my neck and took a drink of the energy drink I grabbed at the gas station. Honestly, these pack trips were getting old. I knew they wanted to throw their unmated females at me but having to leave my pack territory for more than a month was just ridiculous. Four weeks since I had been back in my own territory and I missed home. I was also still a good four hours away. My Gamma Sam was now calling me non-stop for the past week. Normally, I left Nate in charge as my Beta but he had been MIA for the past week. Sam stepped up but had zero confidence in himself. Nate disappeared every so often but not when I was off the territory. He would at least wait until I got back before skipping out for a week or two but him being gone a week was worrying. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I took a deep breath. I had four hours. Four hours of peace before I was bombarded with a frantic Gamma, a missing Beta, and the mountain of paperwork I was sure was sitting on my desk. Being Alpha was not

I pulled up my truck into the parking lot in front of the bar. It was mostly empty save for a large delivery truck. The whole place looked like it had been taken out of some fantasy novel. Even the name The Wayward Tap, sounded like a tavern. Sam had been sitting quietly in the passenger seat afraid to say anything after I blew up yesterday. After sleeping on it, I tried to apologize to Nate but he said he won’t take an apology when I didn’t mean it. It led to another heated argument. Well, led to me blowing up in his face and him taking it with a bored expression on his face. I wondered if I was going to need to request for him to step down. That was the last thing I wanted but it was getting ridiculous. “Um…Alpha…” I turned off the engine and got out. There were two guys unloading a truck in the parking lot. They both were huge, the smaller of the two maybe a couple inches shorter than I was. I wondered if they had some Alpha in them. Taking a breath, I strode up to them. The smal

Surprisingly, the weekend had gone by fairly drama free. There was an issue on Saturday with some teenager wolves trying to sneak their asses into the bar with some fake ID’s. They were well done, except for the fact that they were stickers on top of their real licenses. It was comical. Luckily, I didn’t need to call Silas out to pick them up. Beta Nate took care of the issue and took them home in his Jeep. I inwardly cringed at the thought of how close he came to brushing against me at the door.“Everything alright over there?”I looked up at Noah who was lounged in bed, only in his boxes, a book in hand. He had his reading glasses on and was looking at me over his spectacles. Looking back down at the pancake in the pan, I flipped it.“All good.”“You think that’s all we will see of the Alpha?”I raised my eyebrow but shook my head. “No. He’s probably digging through our paperwork to try and find a fault in it. Or maybe trying to reach out to the Alpha King to expand his territory to

*** Silas POV ***“We need to get a handle on this situation.”“I think we need to act now. Start putting our assets together. See what is available and the limit what we are willing to hand over.”Elder Calum looked at me for the first time in this whole meeting. “What do you think, Alpha?”I sighed and leaned my head in my hand. “I think it’s too soon. Our current flow of humans in the town isn’t enough ho warrant such drastic measures yet. I understand Alpha Alex and Alpha Reid have been implementing this within the past year but they are closer to more central hubs of traffic. While we are close to Jackson City, it’s just too small of a town. Everyone who works in the town can live in it. There is no reason to spread further out. So I think we are getting ahead of ourselves as long as the town is as small as it is.”The group of Elders broke out into another discussion and I sighed. It had its serious benefits to having humans allowed on the territory but I wasn’t quite ready for

All four of us pulled into The Wayward Tap’s parking lot. The front door was propped open and the biggest of the three rogues was leaning against the outside of the building, smoking. All of us backed up to the door so we could easily load the alcohol in. I got out, followed by the rest of the guys. Nate bounded up to the rogue, chatting with him. Dean raised an eyebrow but I shrugged. The female rogue, or Solaris, walked out smiling. “We will need to take a look, see what you guys want.” Nate followed her into the bar and I started to go as well. 'Dean, Ken, stay out with the tucks. Keep an eye on the one out here.' 'Yes Alpha.' They mind linked simultaneously. The two of them were some of my top warriors. We had quite a few guys with trucks but I wanted at least two of best here just in case. It may be business but I wouldn’t trust these guys even if you paid me. Walking in, the bar had a very medial tavern vibe going on. Everything that might have been electronic was covered o
