Going Against the Alpha

Chapter 2 - Where is Claudette

Alpha John’s POV

Today is the day I meet with surrounding alphas and betas as possible suitors for my daughters. They turn 18 in one week and will be finally of age where they get their wolf. I am truly excited to see them change, but now it is critical because they could find their mate. My daughters finding their mates has been one thing I have been dreading since they were born. What if they are mated to someone who is not an alpha. 

There is no chance in hell that I will relinquish my title to anyone below beta status, and that’s even pushing it. So, to ensure that does not happen, I am inviting Alphas and their betas to the pack for in person meetings, but really, it is just a cover to meet my daughters. 

The girls may not be able to find their mates yet, but since the alphas and betas are already of age, they will be able to tell before the girls can. If none of them are the girl’s mates, I will have to have a spell put on them to keep them from finding their mates, and I will arrange for them to marry one of the alphas. If only I would have had a son, I would not have to go these extremes, but I cannot keep harping on that now. I have to be proactive before it is too late. “Sir, it is 3 pm. All the alphas and their betas have now arrived. They are waiting for you in the conference room,” says my beta josh. Okay, Josh, it is showtime.

 I walk into the room, saying Welcome Alphas and Betas to the Red Moon pack. I’m so glad everyone could make it we have everyone’s rooms set up and ready for the week. Before we get down to business, let us go ahead and have a tour of the grounds, and I can introduce everyone to some different pack members. If you have any questions while we are on the tour, please do not hesitate to ask. Alright, let's get going. 

First, stop the kitchen we go in, and as I’m introducing everyone, I notice that one of my daughters is missing from her work duties. I take a quick glance at the kitchen schedule to see that Claudette is supposed to be here. I mind link her mother to see if she needed her to help with other preparations since she is not here.

 Ann is quick to answer me back that she has not seen her, and she is supposed to be helping her. They talked about it before she went to school this morning. I think to myself I will deal with this later right now; I have a dozen alphas and betas to deal with, and I do not feel like pissing off one of them right now, but I’m no longer in the mood to give a grand tour. 

So, on the main floor here, we have the kitchen, the dining room, living room, conference room, and all guest rooms are located on this floor down the hall to your left there. Everyone here has a room down that hall, which is marked on the door with whose is whose. On the second floor are all pack residents’ rooms of the pack that are unmated. The third floor is where the Alpha’s office, apartment, and beta’s apartment and office are. 

Now let move this tour on over to the training gym & grounds. As we walk in, we see everyone has stopped what they are doing and staring at a commotion that is going on at the third training area. No one has even noticed that we have entered the building, which is making my blood boil. 

When Alphas enter a room, as a sign of respect, lower-ranking wolves are supposed to bow. Since it is not happening because of whatever is going on in the third training area causes me to be concerned and walk quickly over there. As I approach, I get a better view of what is going just in time to see my daughters fighting each other in front of everyone.

 I cannot believe what I see right now. The shock almost stops in my place. I pause long enough to see them go tumbling to the ground. I have had enough. I push people out of the way and jerk Claudette off of Kamila, which causes Claudette to take a punch to the face, me an elbow to the chest, a back fits to the nose. 

I drop Claudette on the mat next to her sister. Now it seems that it has dawned on everyone that their alpha has entered the room. I roar out what the hell is going on here. Everyone has bowed and now staring at us. I let out a growl that shakes the room, causing everyone to get back to training like they were supposed to be doing in the first place.

 Kamila and Claudette are still sitting on the mat, not saying a word, just waiting for me to dish out their punishment when I realize they are not looking at me. They are looking at the dozen alphas and betas that are currently standing behind me. UGHHH…. I put my hand to the bridge of my nose where I took the punch while mind linking my beta to take our guest on the rest of the tour, and I will meet them back at the conference room. “Alphas and betas, if you will follow me this way, I will be finishing up the tour.” Says beta Josh behind me.  

Kamila starts to speak, but before she can begin, I let out a low growl warning here not to talk. In a low, angry tone, I tell both girls to get cleaned up and meet me in my office in 5 minutes. Both girls bow their heads and say yes in unison. I make my way to my office to try to calm down before they arrive.
