The Alpha's Little Bride

Blake

Wyatt and Earl were sitting in the alpha’s office, they both were the same age and grew up together. They were friends since childhood and it was given that Earl would be Wyatt’s beta. And he was perfect for the role, he was great at helping the alpha. He was personable and good with the pack members. While the alpha was firm and absolute in his decisions, the beta was more well-rounded and diplomatic. If anyone really wanted to sweet talk something to the alpha, they would go through Earl. While Wyatt was an intimidating and less approachable person, Wyatt was softer and laid back.

He also looked much different than the alpha, he had lighter hair and softer features. Wyatt was very angular, he looked like a men’s underwear catalog model. Earl looked more like a TV commercial guy with a twinkle in his eye. But they both had much of the same delusions of how rules are rules and to be followed to the t. Both their parents were very conservative and it rubbed off on them. Wyatt liked it that way, it had kept his pack safe for his entire reign. It did rub many other people the wrong way and he had burned through some gammas.

The office scene was just like it used to be, the alpha behind the desk looking sharp with his back straight. And the beta lounging in a chair to the side, sometimes with his feet up on the desk. Their way of moving, sitting, behaving, absolutely everything was the opposite. But they saw eye to eye on every matter, and it was always in favor of the boys club. So it was no surprise that the two very handsome men were very much single most of their lives. Women did fawn around them, but they were so stuck in their ways that they did not mind much. They both pined for their mate, and wanted to wait for that ‘love of their life’. So when Wyatt found his mate the duo was overjoyed to have a Luna, and a partner for the pack leader. She would be his other half, the soothing part of his stressful life. The beta was never jealous, he was overjoyed for his best friend. His mate was very young, but she was pretty and had much potential.

Both the alpha and beta looked at a board at the other end of the room, they had sketched out plans for every occasion. Now they were looking at how to proceed with a Luna. They had envisioned every possibility, and now that they had a mate for the alpha they went over the well-thought-out plan. Step one, find the mate. Step to, mate and mark her. The marked part was crossed out as she had expressed her feelings about waiting. Step three, get her pregnant. PUPS! Step four, have Luna continue the socialite club their mothers ran. Step five was still not filled out. But the plan was very much like a 1950 wet dream, a well-groomed and compliant wife with a tray of cocktails waiting for her man to come home.

There was a sudden knock on the door and the beta shot up to cover the board, most people would make remarks about their plans. The alpha called out for the person to come in and swiftly a young female walked in. She was confident in her strides and walked swiftly up and held out her hand to the alpha.

“Blake Harrison alpha, I was sent here to take over the secretary position.” The alpha shook her hand and gestured for her to sit down. The young woman and the beta sat down in their chair at the same time. She smoothed out her skirt and fixed her gaze on her alpha. She was not covering or intimidated by him so she looked at him with confidence. The alpha smiled at her and knew exactly what to say. He had read all her credentials and knew why she was there “yes, Blake. Thank you for coming in today. We needed a new secretary as our current one just found her mate. She will be moving to his pack soon. We only need one part-time so it works well with you taking your college courses during the day. You had the most impressive records from high school so I reached out to your dad. He agreed to have you work here.”

Blake gave a small and polite nod to the alpha, it was a bit odd to her that he asked her father and not her if she wanted the position. She had heard the rumors that the alpha was set in his ‘old fashioned’ ways, so she tried to not be offended by it. The beta interjected “Lorna will show you the ropes, it’s not much to do. But it is important that you are here during the afternoons when we hold most of our meetings. When you have settled in we would like for you to pass on your experience to any new staff. That way we have a steady supply of secretaries as they leave to be with their mates. Lorna was gracious to wait so you could be trained by her. But we would like to be better prepared for when you need to leave to be with your mate.”

The beta was very upfront about her having to leave when she found her mate, but it was just given that she would move to another pack as she found her mate. There was no interpretation for her choosing to stay, to not have a mate, to have her mate move to her pack. Blake hid her feelings well, she was much more modern in her ways but knew that the fragile thoughts of the alpha and beta needed to be worked around gently. So she gave a short and polite smile as she was on board with the plans of her training the next secretary, for she would surely leave them soon for a man. The meeting went well, they introduced themselves and got to know the basics about each other. Blake was very skilled in many things, and one of her strengths was to fit in wherever she went. So she adapted well to their way of thinking and it suited them just perfectly. Blake was the perfect secretary for them, she would be the substitute mother and wait on them at every whim. She looked very much like the newfound Luna. Above average height, slim with soft curved in all the right places. Long and wavy brown hair and adorable facial features. But still, she was so much different, it was hard to pinpoint. But it was glaring to anyone who laid eyes on the two of them, they were nothing alike.
