The Alpha Female

Episode 2: Just Another Conference….

My Beta is a really awesome guy. We grew up together and he married the girl of his dreams. They also happened to be fated mates which made it all of the “aww” love story it needed to be. My Beta’s name is Jason. Jason is the tall, dark and handsome type that all of the females swoon over. He is tatted up and has the whole “bad boy” persona going on for him, long, dark, curly black hair and a mischievous smile, but his heart and loyalty lies with his wife. His mate is his world and they are expecting a baby girl in a few months. He’s really intelligent, quick-witted, and isn’t a wolf to piss off. He could be an alpha easily and he knows it too, but he and his wife together let me know that they choose to be with our pack. They love the life that has been created and built. They feel safe. Just hearing that makes it worth it. I always let Jason know that I appreciate him always covering for me and taking the lashings for me always backing out. He just gives me that crooked smile of his and lets me know how fun it is. Here we are again traveling to another damn conference.

Now that I’ve introduced Jason to you, let me introduce my Gamma. My Gamma’s name is Steve. Steve is a handsome, strong jawline, piercing eyes, tall, chiseled badass. He’s always clean-cut except in November he does the whole 'No shave November' thing and that adds to his attributes. He’s an exceptionally skilled fighter and has trained with some of the best in the world. We grew up together too. He’s always watched my back. He fought when he had to go away to train, but when I explained what I needed from him he left without further questions and came back five years later. Having him back for a solid two years he’s had masters come into our pack to help him train with weapons and further his skills in martial arts as well as our pack and has proven to be a really strong Gamma. He’s quiet, observant, no tattoos and his smile hypnotizes men and women, but it’s deadly. He hasn’t found his mate yet, but he’s ready. I brought him along with us this time in hopes he finds his mate or gets invited to visit other packs.

These two guys are my brothers. Having such strong males makes my job easier because they don’t get questioned too often and when s**t gets crazy these two have no problem stepping up. They know that if they can’t resolve it then I’ll take care of it. Thankfully, it hasn’t ever come to that because the packs appreciate the financial donation given to them. I know that won’t hold forever, but it’s worked so far and I’m good with that. This conference is going to be a tad different. Both men are going to step in for me. I will be working with my Omega Team to close the real estate investments in Florida. Yea, my Omega Team. I know in other packs they get treated like s**t, but in my pack, I’ve had them become lawyers, attorneys in different areas, and CPAs. I keep everyone feeling important because they are. Even the housekeeper Omegas are well versed in real estate so they can invest and if one of them needs to step in they are confident in helping me close another deal and because of that move we have large investments which keep us as the wealthiest packs in the world.

Back to the conference. Apparently, the top two packs in the United States aren’t getting along and a war is about to break out. Just f*****g wonderful! Jason is letting me know that there have been two great fights within the conference that I missed and Steve was happy to have been invited. No one died, but the furniture was tossed and Jason and Steve let me know how pissed everyone is at me not attending again and is demanding my presence now. I looked at my Omega Team with frustration and annoyance. I got playful and encouraging smiles from all of them. Assholes.

“I know why you’re all smiling. Don’t even think it!”

I couldn’t be more serious, but it’s hard to scare them when I’m smiling too.

“FINE! I’m on my way guys just sit tight.” I rolled my eyes and slammed the door as I left as if it would change anything. I made my way to the elevator and pressed the button to the lobby. I was in my usual attire except I had on a black collared, button-down, satin dress shirt with a black tank and black bra underneath. My hair was up in a messy bun with a pen sticking out. I had on my black nerdy glasses with that special film so my eyes wouldn’t hurt from reading non-stop on the computer.

“BING!”

The elevator doors opened up and I made my way to the conference. On the way, I caught a whiff of a delectable scent but didn’t have time to stay to find out. I had to settle little Alphas crying about not getting their way. Little did they know a she-wolf was about to make an appearance. I abruptly opened up both double doors and walked in. Everyone stopped in mid-swing, kick, shout, and whatever else they were doing. Jason and Steve looked over to see me with amused looks on their faces, stood up, and before I knew it were by my side.

“Alpha”

“Hi Jason. Hi Steve.” I looked around the conference room at all of the stunned faces. It was the Blood Alpha that spoke first.

“Alpha? Excuse me ma’am, but I think you have the wrong room. I would be more than happy to escort you to my room, I mean the correct room you’re looking for.”

Jason and Steve took on their wolf eyes and started growling. I put my hands on either one of their shoulders to let them know I got this.

“Yes, Alpha of the Green Forest Pack. I apologize to everyone for not attending the conference, again, but I did send my Beta and Gamma in my stead. I didn’t realize that the normal money donation was not going to suffice this time and that I hurt your feelings. I was filled in by my brothers that two of you are on the brink of war for misunderstandings. I’ve also been told I missed out on a couple of great fights.” Laughter filled the room and quickly quieted down as I started to walk the room and speak again. “Let’s be clear gentlemen, all of you have never really taken us Alpha Females very seriously. I’m not offended because in all honesty I really don’t care. All of you at one time has sought financial help from my pack, so demeaning insults, and s****l innuendos will be forgiven this time, but I warn you now,” I looked around the entire conference and back at the Blood Alpha, “the next one of you that wants to pull that load of bullshit I will silence you in front of everyone forever and your Beta will be left cleaning up your mess. Your pack will be forever cut from any financial support from my pack and anyone of your pack members that come across my territories which I’ve now expanded to Florida will be killed if they do not submit to my pack members or myself and that includes my Omegas. I am an Alpha. I am not looking for confrontation. My Beta is more than capable of handling these meetings for me while I attend to other business affairs because let's be honest, you wouldn’t take me seriously unless you truly knew who I was. I don’t make idle threats and the fact that your bitching has had to break up an acquisition I was in the middle of with my clients and Omega Team has put me in a foul mood not to mention I haven’t eaten anything yet for lunch.” Jason and Steve took a step back from me upon hearing this. The rest of the room looked on wide-eyed and mouths hung open including the Blood Alpha. I looked at the Blood Alpha again and spoke. “I think an apology is necessary. Don’t you? No? You’re damn lucky I’m not on my rag because had I been I would’ve taken it out in front of everyone and slapped you with it! Don’t ever speak to me or any woman that way ever again! If you wouldn’t want your mother, sister, or daughter spoken to with such disrespect then next time I highly recommend you shut the f**k up.”

“My apologies Alpha. You are right and that will never happen again.” The Blood Alpha kneeled and showed his neck in submission.

“Thank you, Alpha. I forgive you and appreciate your sincere apology. Now, what else is going on that needs my attention gentlemen?”

Alpha Martinez spoke up just then with a sneer. “Respect? You’ve dodged every one of these conferences. You send in your ‘Yes’ man to come in for you instead and we are all an inconvenience for you when we demand your presence?! Do you think you can threaten all of us with money? WE HAVE MONEY ALPHA! Your blatant absence is disrespectful to all of the rest of us and the assumption we would treat you differently because you have a p***y instead of a d**k! The fact that you are still an Alpha is a joke and I challenge you right now!”

I could feel the rage surge up within me like the moon pulling in the high tide. My whole body started to shift and glow. My eyes shifted from human to wolf. “No one disrespects my brother or me. Challenge accepted,” is all I could muster out in a low voice before a deafening howl came out to replace my voice. Alpha Martinez was a large brown and black wolf. He thought he was ready. Before he knew it I was on him. His warm blood covered my snout and splattered all over the room. The coppery taste of his blood satisfied my wolf. My eyes slid closed and then opened up in a snap. I wanted my message to be crystal clear. It was from that moment on. I felt immediately calm after ripping his throat out. I immediately shifted back. My face and hair were covered in his blood. I looked up and looked around the room. “Does anyone else want to challenge me or question my lack of respect?”
