Princess’s Possessive Alphas

Chapter 2 King Issac

King Issac Pov:

“ Good morning King Issac!” my omega Susan greets me with a smile.

“ Good Morning Susan, you know that I have asked you many times to just call me Issac, after all you're like a second mother to me.” I tell her as I smile and move to grab a cup of coffee and a slice of bacon.

“ Ok Issac, I will try, but it is an honor to call you by your title. You are a great King and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. You are going to the Ball this year aren’t you? “ she asked.

“ Yes, I am hoping to find my mate. After looking for the past several years, I feel that I am beginning to lose hope.”

“ Issac, don’t give up yet, I bet you will find your mate when you least expect it. I think the ball will be a great thing for you this year, and maybe you will find your mate there.”

“ Thanks Susan, by the way I wanted to ask how things are going with our little side project, has anyone else come for help?”

Susan and I have been helping others within our community when they need help with clothing or food, or just starting over, after they have come out of a bad situation. Wolves are known for their independence, therefore, many of them are too proud to ask for help when it is needed.

“ The last ones I was working with are finally settled into their new home, and I am proud to announce that at this point they appear to have everything they need to start over with their new lives. Now we need to just watch and wait to see when someone comes across our radar.” Susan lets me know.

“ Please let me know if you hear anything.” I see her nod her head just as my Beta Shawn walks into the kitchen, and he looks like he is up to something.

“ Morning Shawn.”

“ Thank goddess I found you.”

“ Why are you here this early?”

Shawn is not an early riser, he likes his sleep, that is one of the reasons why we have afternoon training.

“ Alpha Pete from the Harvest Moon pack called and requested a conference call with you.” Shawn says as he grabs a cup of coffee.

“ Why would Alpha Pete be calling? We are heading there tomorrow, couldn't we just meet then?”

“ I am not completely sure what is going on but he made it sound very important, he even invited the surrounding Alpha’s on this call.” Shawn states with some concern.

I have known Shawn since we were in diapers, so for him to be concerned over something, it must be a major concern. Alpha Pete must have said something to him, for him to be this concerned.

“ Shawn, did Alpha Pete say why he wants the meeting?”

“ Just mentioned the ball may have to be canceled.” he says with sadness in his voice.

“ You do realize that it would have to be a really bad war that is about to happen for us all to agree to cancel the Ball ,right?” trying to ease Shawn’s mind and some of his sadness I hear in his voice.

‘I know, I was just really hoping that I would find my mate this year, and I have never heard Alpha Pete sound so concerned over something, he is usually relaxed and acts like nothing bothers him. I asked him what the issue was, but would not say anything, just said to make sure I let you know that you are needed.”

“ What time?” i asked

“ 9 ” Shawn responds back

“ You mean 9 tonight right? “

“ No, 9 am, as in 10 minutes from now.” He says as he walks out of the room and heads up the steps.

Taking a few seconds to catch up with what he just said, and wondering what could have Alpha Pete so concerned that he was thinking about canceling the ball. Susan pulls me from my thoughts, “Issac, you need to get to the meeting, you only have a few more minutes until it starts.”

“ Ugh, Thanks Susan, see you after the meeting, please keep me posted on our little missions.”

“ Yes sir.”

Walking up the stairs to my office , I start to hear laughter the closer I get to the top of the steps,and I think, ok this is good, at least everyone is still in a good mood. The large screen in front of my desk has multiple people on it already.. “Good morning everyone.”

“Good Morning King Isaac, they all reply.

I still see the laughter in their eyes, as I take my seat behind my desk. I still want to know why they were all laughing, could it have been something Shawn had said? Was it about me ?”

I didn’t have to wait long before Alpha Cole from the Red Moon pack said, “ you know if you are late for the meeting, the first round of drinks are on you.”

“ That's right dude, drinks are on you. Of all the people that would have been late to a meeting I would never have bet it would have been you.” Says Alpha Kyle from Mountain Moon pack “ The Alpha King is late to something “ as some of the younger ones start to laugh.

“ Why don’t we all meet up for lunch tomorrow at the pack house and Issac can bring in his top of the line booze “ says Future Alpha Zane.

At this point my stomach started to turn and I was getting angrier by the second, however I didn”t want it to show on my face or in my voice. I was unsure about why this meeting was called but I had assumed it had something to do with the rogue attacks where we lost several of our kind.

As I sat there for a moment my mind went back to when I had arrived at the village and the visions of my people laying around and their bodies literally torn apart and the blood was everywhere, and the stench of fire and burning flesh was in my nostrils and on my clothes.

My wolf started to come to the surface so I took a second and regained my composure and said “Alright let’s get down to why someone has called this meeting.” I stated after all I still had things to do before leaving tomorrow morning.

“Sorry King Issac, that would be myself and my Beta Frank.” Replied Alpha Pete. “ We have rouges outside of our borders, they seem to stay between all four of our territories. Some of my patrol guards have noticed that they are trying to find weak spots in our defenses. Beta Frank and I have been working with some of our best mission teams and warriors to come up with a plan.”

“ Do we know how many rogues we are dealing with?” Asked Cole

“ We are unsure of how many we are dealing with, so we are sending some of our best trackers, and we have tightened up security,” said Frank.

“ With the Harvest Ball a few days away, this has caused us some concerns . We don’t need the rogues thinking that we are weak”. states Frank.

“ King Issac, we have a team of strategists working on a plan, our team leader should be joining us soon. We need to gather more information on how many are in that territory and how they are getting in. We will be sending our mission team out later today“ Alpha Pete adds

My first thoughts as King is to make sure all the packs in my kingdom are safe from rogue attacks and to try and prevent them from happening in advance. The last rogue attack whipped out the Moon back which is the territory that is between all four packs.

When all four surrounding packs heard about the attack, they sent out teams however it was too late. The whole pack was wiped out, in the matter of an hour.

With everything gone and the bodies left on the ground for us to find, it was obvious to us all that this was a sign, not only were they there, but also that they were someone to be feared.I will not stand for actions such as this, my people trust and rely on me to keep them safe.

In light of what happened I have been sending teams up several times a month, to make sure that no one has taken up housing on their land. The whole incident was a reminder to all four surrounding packs that this could have been anyone of us. For that very reason we are taking this situation to heart, we will not take this lying down, next time we will be prepared.

The last time my team went out was about 2 weeks ago, could they have moved in since the last time we checked? Once again I could feel my wolf starting to come to the surface. I try hard to keep him back because he is a beast and only knows pain and destruction. I have been fighting this urge more and more lately because of the recent events that took place, it is for sure something that is not easily forgotten.

“ We can run the land before heading into Harvest Moon.” My wolf states . “Or better yet maybe we need to leave today to get to Harvest Moon and kill all the rogues we find. “

“ That's great, but do you think that maybe we should cancel this year's ball?” Asked Kyle.

“ No, we can’t just cancel the Harvest Ball, so many people are counting on finding their mates this year. Not only that but it would show weakness, and that is one feeling I am not familiar with” I reply and as everyone is looking at me with questions in their eyes. “Ok guys, and yes I am hoping to find a mate this year. Working both as the Alpha and Luna has become a stress.” I want to find my ( in a growling tone ) soulmate.”

“ Guys did I just hear that right, the big bad Alpha King can’t wait to find his mate.” Zane chuckles.

“ You know if we all weren’t best friends, I would have taken you to the dungeons for talking to me like that. “ I responded.

Everyone one starts to laugh, we have all been best friends since we were pups. ( I mean that in more ways than one ) Our four packs have been close going years back to our great great grandfathers.

A knocking noise came through the speakers, it appears that the team leader has made it to the meeting. Then I heard a very sweet voice , “ Alpha,sorry I am a few minutes late, there was a situation that needed to be addressed. “ I watched as Alpha Pete hit a button on his computer, and all the sound on his side was gone, he had hit the mute button.

After a small pause he then unmuted, “ Sorry King Issac, my team leader had a situation that she had to deal with, but she is ready to review some things with everyone. I would like for everyone to please welcome Carolina. “

I noticed a brown hair, small framed girl now standing by Beta Frank, “ My King.” she says as she bows her head.

I heard a growl that came from my wolf, Zeke is all ok? Asking, “ that is our mate,” Zeke growls.

“ Are you sure? We have not had a chance to get her sent, and we do not have her infront of us to confirm this.” a growl came from Zeke again,

“ Yes, Carolina is our mate, please don’t tell me that my future mate is going on this mission.”

“ It appears she is the team leader, so she would have to go.” I have to throw my block up, or he was going to cause me to have a headache.

“ Hello Carolina, It is good to see you again.” It has been about 4 years since I have been over to the Harvest Pack, between training for King and finally taking over as King, it leaves little time for me to do anything much but work, and now with the rogue attacks, things have been busier than ever.

“ What time will the mission team be heading out? “

“My team and I will be ready in about 3 hours, I like to have all the information we can gather before going on my missions. “ her sweet voice tells us.

“How about you gather the information you will need, and I will finish some things here, then we will head over before you and your team head out on the mission. Alpha Pete, can I send over some of my men to help?”

“ King Issac that would be a great help, however I know most men still do not approve of a female, running missions.” he said with a coy smile. “ Let them know that she is in charge, and that she is the best in her field. After all, we would have never helped as many people that we have in the past if it were not for her at the head of the mission.” Alpha Pete explains.

“ Why don’t we all just meet at the pack house around noon, and we all can send some of our best trackers and extra warriors ? “ asked Cole.

“ Sorry Alpha’s, I think with my team going in, we will get more information than if we had a huge number going in to look around.” Carolina explained.

“ I agree with Carolina, the fewer warriors and trackers around the borders, should keep the rogues from finding out what we are up to.” Zane states.

“ Then it is settled, I will send a few of my trusted men over, and I should be able to be at the pack house by 11 am. We can make sure everything is set up, before your team goes out, Carolina. “

I looked over at my Beta. Make sure that you have everything packed and ready to go. I will be mind- linking my Gamma Al, when I am finished here, we are leaving in 30 minutes. I watch as Beta Shawn nods his head and walks out of the office.

“ Great, Dad I will be there around 11:30 am, have to pack some things and I hope to make it before Carolina and her team goes.” Zane says.

“ We can address any other issues and plans after the mission and maybe since we are all together we could grab something to eat and maybe a couple of drinks?. “ says Beta Frank.

“ My Beta and I will see you at 11.” I tell them

As everyone started to leave the meeting, I asked for Alpha Pete to hold on. “ I will be bringing about 50 of my best warriors and trackers with me, do you have extra housing for 50? “

“Yes, we can handle another 50, all they need to do is bring sleeping gear, they can stay in the POD’s we set up on the land that was left in ruin after the recent rogue attacks.” Frank replies with sadness in his eyes.

“ Why don’t we ask for the mated warriors to go? I don’t want any unmated males around my mate.” Zeke informs me. I nodded my head, to agree with Zeke, he has a point.

“ Alpha Pete, can I ask when Alpha Zane will be stepping up to Alpha position?” I questioned.

“ Honestly King Issac, I was hoping when Zane came back for the Harvest Ball we would discuss when he would be taking over. My old body is ready for retirement and so is my Luna.”

“ Alpha Pete, maybe this will be the year of surprises. If things change in the current situation please reach out to me immediately. I don’t want to lose any other friends or family“ I stated. “

My Beta and I will see you at noon. “ I say before ending the conference call.

I lean back in my chair with my fingers on the bridge of my nose, I am completely tense. I know that Alpha Pete would not have called this meeting unless he felt that there was a threat. As I close my eyes trying to figure out how the rouges got into that territory without the other four packs knowing or seeing anything still has been baffling me, could someone be helping them?

Not knowing for sure if Carolina could be my mate, I need to make sure that we get the rogue issue under control, before something bad happens.

“ She is our mate, you wait until you arrive at the pack house you will see” Zeke yells at me. “

All four pack lands are up against the other, so all the boundary lines are up against the other, so could someone really be helping them? There is only one path that humans use for nature hikes, that is on neutral territory and that has always been guarded by all four packs, I just don’t see how they could sneak in, even with a traitor in a pack somewhere.

This is a thought I will have to really consider. Do we have a traitor amongst us? If so, then which pack? Could there be more than one traitor in each pack? These are questions both my wolf and I ponder as Shawn comes in.

“ Issac, I am packed and ready to go, and asked Susan to pack your bags, so we should be ready in 20 minutes, I just hope that Carolina’s team has come up with a good strategy that will give us some new clues on how many we are up against.” My Beta says.

“ Once we get to Harvest Moon, we’ll sit down with her team, and go over the plans before they go on the mission, then later tonight, between all of us, we should have a solid plan in place to keep everyone safe during the ball.” I responded.

I am simply going to mind link my Gamma Al to have him come to my office now so we can be on our way. Mind link is something werewolves can do to talk to each other. We don’t need cell phones to communicate, but we still carry them for pack business and to talk to different packs and conduct business for the community.

The children and teenagers all carry cell phones because they are not able to mind the link until they get their wolf. Werewolf children do not get their wolves until they turn 18, this is the same age that they can find their mate.

As I am looking at my Beta, when in comes Al. “ Thank you for coming. Shawn and I are heading to Harvest pack. With the ball, in a few days we can not take any chances.”

Al nodded his head, as I continued, “ Al, I would like to have the path that humans and others use for hiking patrolled, that way if the rogues are coming through there we will be able to see them.”

With that , I let him know I will have my laptop with me, and will be answering emails. I start to pack up my briefcase with files and contacts that need to be signed.

As I look back over the office I double check to make sure I have everything I need, before heading out. Thinking about the mission at hand, and if indeed what Zeke my wolf says is true, that Carolina is my mate, then that means she has been right under my nose this whole time.
