Shady Forest Pack: Alpha Kyle
I had been immersed in a lot of paperwork for a long time when I heard a knock on the door.
-"Go ahead," I said without looking up from the papers.
-"The mail has arrived," said my sister with a navy blue envelope in her hand.
-And? .- I hope it was not a discount from the pizzeria because I was going to get angry for interrupting for nonsense like the mail.
- It's an invitation, Alpha Parker from the Blue Moon pack is getting married and we've been invited.
-"No" I answered still without looking at his face.
-Did I hear wedding? - Said my brother and Beta Josh. This time I looked up to see my brother in the doorway.
-Claire, why didn't you close the door? - I really have better things to do.
-"We have to go," Claire said ignoring my question.
-We don't have to do anything, end of the matter.
-"Whose wedding is it?" Josh asked
- Alpha Parker, and we do have to go because we need allies in case we need help.
-"You just want to wear a nice dress." I said, refocusing my vision on the papers that were on my desk. But a few seconds later I noticed Claire's palms hitting the table. This time I got up from my seat, was she challenging me? I looked at her from above hoping to hear an apology.
- I know you do not like these things, but thanks to a certain lack of sympathy it is not that we are the most popular pack. The rogues' attacks are increasing and the Blue Moon Pack has a lot of experience dealing with them. They can be a good ally.- It is clear that Claire is not easy to intimidate, and she has some reason.- Please.- he said breaking into my thoughts.- listen to me, it will be only a couple of days in which we will have to participate in some dinners, traditions… and we will win the support of a close and strong pack. ”I looked at Josh, his gaze implying that he agreed with Claire.
I sighed heavily- fine, but I'm not going to take care of anything, not clothes, not transportation, NOTHING. Josh don't make me regret it.
-Yes Alpha.- Josh said retiring
-"Thank you, I know it's an effort for you." Claire said with a warm smile. "You're a good Alpha."
She always knew what words to use. But before leaving he said- who knows, maybe you know your other half there.- and closed the door.
My other half ... how difficult it can be to find her. I had a partner before, but something about me kept me from committing 100%. I knew Veronica wasn't the one for me. She was pretty, gentle, delicate, funny, but she wasn't my mate, I wasn't sure if she was pursuing the desire to be Luna or to be my partner. I know that I am not easy to deal with, but I am the Alpha, and since I was little I knew that I was going to be, when I reached my adolescence I had to start changing my image, to make myself respected, to show that everything is fine and under control.
The phone rang, and I was grateful, thinking about my mate is not something that really brings me peace.- Yes? What happens?
-Alpha is me, Beta. They have captured 3 rouges and are taking them to the cells.-
-You know, torture and if they do not speak they are food or drink. Send patrols out of the perimeter to see if there are more in the vicinity. Being only 3, perhaps they were sent to investigate.
-"Yes alpha, immediately," Josh said before hanging up.
If we are going to go to a wedding I have to make sure that there will not be any major attacks in my absence. I treat rogues harshly, even lonely ones, you never know if they are spies, messengers, etc. I'm not risking the stability of my pack for them. My methods will be somewhat controversial, but I know they are effective.
I picked up the phone and called my friend and Omega Darren.
-YES alpha?
- Have you heard about rogues?
- Yeah, Josh has already given directions. I've also heard about a wedding, you must be delighted.
- For your luck you will stay here, I need someone to keep the border safe and the rogues under control.
-Yes, Alpha.
-It will be a couple of days, any emergency situation do not hesitate to contact me.
-I know, you want any excuse to get out of that situation.
-"I just cant stand weddings," I said between snorts.
-Come on, remember how happy Mark and Claire were. She was so happy that she postponed her graduation as a nurse. It is normal that people, especially if it is an alpha, want to celebrate it in style.
-"It's starting to look like you're a fan of weddings," I said with a half-smile.
-"I'll just say that I'm grateful that you make me stay."
- You lucky man ... -
-Alpha?
-Yes? - I said with intrigue.
-Beers at 4? - You can tell that my best friend knows how much I appreciate a cold jug of beer between my lips when I'm not happy.
- Okay, at the usual bar.
