Chapter One- The Meeting; Audra POV
This is why I was born. Yes, I am female but I am as strong as any man and can take was life has dished out to me. I have trained and fought for everything that I have and no man is going to take it from me. These are my thoughts as I walk into my future. The main pack house of the White Wood Pack was large as it should be, they were a pack of 500 and going strong. As my father and I pulled up to the main entrance my nerves are everywhere and my mind is racing with every possible outcome of what could happen today. I am a only child my mother died giving birth to me my father is the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack and I am the heir to his legacy. We are meeting with five other Alphas and their heirs to talk about a treaty to merge into one large pack spread out across the country. The plan was to have one main Alpha and then delegate other Alphas to cover all the territory. The six heirs were going to fight and battle to see who is chosen as the main Alpha. We walked into the main entrance and one of the omegas lead us into the conference rooms where the first meeting was going to happen. I have never met any of the other Alphas or their heirs before, I have only heard stories and from what I heard they are going to give me a run for my money.
When we get to the conference room my father is the first one walk in and is greeted by all the other Alphas. It seems that we are the lasts ones to arrive and I feel like I am walking into a lions den. When I walk in all eyes turn to me and everyone goes silent. I am the first one to speak since the men in the room seem to be preoccupied staring at me. I address the Alpha of the White Wood pack first. “Thank you so much for inviting me into your home Alpha James it is beautiful.” I said. Alpha James smiled” Thank you Audra I am so grateful that you could make it.” The rest of the Alphas followed suit. I had not noticed the five younger men sitting on the side wall. They just kept staring at me like I was some strange alien. I know I am pretty. I am just over six foot with long curly hair that is normally blond with Carmel highlights but I added some purple in there just because. My face is heart shaped and I have a little button nose that I got from my mom and full lips as well. I have both colors of my parents eyes one is blue and the other one is hazel with grey flecks. I have tan skin from being out side and training all the time and a toned body. I am heir to an Alpha after all and we do have an image to uphold.
The five men that I am staring at are some of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. The first one to walk up to me I can tell right away is the son of James they look so much alike. He is tall I’m talking at least six feet five inches of pure manly muscle. He has gorgeous caramel colored skin and tattoos that goes up his arm and what I can assume to his chest. He has dark black hair that is cut short but long enough that you can still run your hands through and the most piercing greens eyes that I feel like can see into my soul. I feel an instant connection to this man and I have no idea why. He introduces himself as Saint. The heir to the White Wood Pack. I obviously forget that I am still staring at him and immediately blush. I offer my hand to shake and instead of shaking it he takes my hand and kisses the back of it. I almost lost my balance with the way his lips felt on the back of my hand. Oh my goodness what would it feel like to have those lips on mine. Before my thoughts can get any dirtier, he takes my hand and leads me to the rest of the guys on the other side of the room and introduces me to each of them.
The first one that he introduces me to he said is his best friend Mason and heir to the Red Wood Pack. He is the same height as Saint but leaner and sparkling blues eyes that make you want to dive in and never come up for air. He has brownish blond hair with natural highlights that women pay hundreds of dollars for. His skin is tan like he has been kissed by the sun goddess herself. You can tell he is a major flirt and gets all the ladies. The second one that he introduces me to said his name was Justin but everyone calls him JJ for short. He is slightly shorter than Saint and Mason but he is more muscular. He looks like a tank and could plow through anything that gets in his way. He has dark skin like chocolate and these dark brown eyes that could tell a story and more if you let them. He has a hard-chiseled jaw and an angular face shape that looks like it was given from the gods. Instead of shaking my hand he gives me a hug and you can tell he is the sweetest person ever and we are going to be good friends. The third one he introduces me to said his name is Nate. He is about the same height as JJ but not as built but still not lacking in the muscle department by any means. He has olive colored skin and his eyes are a hazel color that make you want to tell all your secrets and more. He has caramel colored hair that is wavy and smooth. He has a more of a square jaw and he looks like he is not one for words but his body language speaks volumes. He just nods his head at me and winks then sits back down. The fourth one stands and is just a inch or two taller than I am. Saint introduces him as Austin. He has fair skin with Jet black hair that stands out with his skin color he looks like a manlier version of snow white with grey eyes that look like they could be the color of clouds on a rainy day and he has the brooding sort of personality to go with it. He looks at me for a moment like he is going to say something but then sits right back down and looks at the wall straight ahead.
Now that I have been introduced to everyone we all take our seats to let the meeting begin and guess who makes me sit by him as if I’m not already flustered enough, Saint. The meeting was boring for the most part until Saint got caught not paying attention when his dad asked him a question. I tried to suppress down a laugh while Saint was struggling “Could you please repeat that sir I did not fully understand the question.” Alpha James looked at him for a moment if looks could kill Saint would be on the floor. Alpha James stated the question again “I asked what did you think of the current defense system we all have in place in our packs? Do you think there is anything we need to change or make an improvement on? I handed that job to you to manage and see what needed to be done.” Saint took a moment to gather his thoughts “I think we could increase the patrols around the perimeter and double up on wolfs who patrol. I don’t think it would hurt to have them patrol in twos in case they get ambushed one can send a link to the pack to let them know what is going on. We have a lot more sightings here recently since the other packs got wind of our plan. I also think everyone would benefit from adding more cameras and a sensor alert system around the perimeter just as an extra precaution.” His dad looked at him like he redeemed him self with that answer all of the other Alphas nodded with what Saint said and began planning what they needed to do. Alpha James finally dismissed us heirs and said that they still had a few more things to discuss but we were not needed I nodded and immediately got up. Then the real fun starts.
