Chapter 14 King Matthew

"Matthew you will need to attend the Alphas' meeting coming up next week and I need to catch you up on the information that we will be going over," his father told him.

"Why dad? You are still the alpha why must I go I am only sixteen," Matthew whined.

"Because son, you will be taking over the pack soon after you find your mate and have pups. I cannot do this forever. Your mother and I want to retire and travel and relax and enjoy our grandpup's."

"Fine dad I will go with you and meet the other alphas' that we have alliances with. Who knows maybe some of them will bring their sons or daughters along and I can find my mate possibly."

"Yes son that would be good. You and I will have meetings all this week to prepare for this meeting."

"Yes father I will be there but now I need to go for a run and so does Decker."

"Okay, you know I'll come with you Striker needs some release as well."

The father son duo always got along most of the time, they usually saw things differently but Matthews father always welcomed his sons points of view of wars, trainings, events, etc...

After the run with their wolves/lycans they showered and lunch with their luna. They discussed what the upcoming events that were going to be taking place and that Matthew was to going to the meeting with him. 

He trained with the other pack members and warriors as his father believed that all men, women and children should learn how to fight at any given moment. Each warrior or leader and leader to be had a duty to help train each of the members to fight. Everyone has different styles of fighting and Matthew's father believed that everyone pack member should know how to do every type of fighting.

His mother and some of the other women of the pack made desserts and snacks as well as lunch for the other alphas' who were visiting for the meeting. Once all the alphas' had arrived they were summoned to the meeting room which housed a large oval table that holds minimum of fifty people with four additional couches that each had a table to write on. The first chair was the head for the alpha than his beta and delta to his left and his son or daughter who'd be taking over the pack to his right then all others would take a seat of their choice thereafter.

Water and juices were set in the center of the tables with enough glasses set up on each of the tables around the room with snacks to eat to keep the visitors hunger and grumpy on the down low. Matthews father did not believe in starving the alphas but felt it was good to keep little bits of food in their bellies to keep their attitudes down. 

"Morning one and all, thank you for coming to our annual meeting. As you see there is juice and water and some finger snacks to keep your bellies full and angers at bay," Matthews father states with a warm smile.

Everyone laughs and digs in and pours their liquids of choice. Once everyone had their drinks and finger food snacks, they settled down into their chairs once again.

"I see some of you have brought your children whom will take over your packs in the near future. I am very pleased to see this. We have a few things on the agenda to take care of as well as building alliances with each other to help us grow bigger and stronger. My son, Matthew, here will be taking my place in a couple years hopefully after he graduates high school. Even though he is only sixteen he is an alpha in training and will be taking lead on some of our topics at hand. Son go ahead you have the floor."

"First off we are having a rogue problem in some of the areas around packs including that of the Alpha King's castle and he needs our help to get these rogues under control. Steven what kind of training do you have for your pack?"

"I make sure that all males are suited for fighting starting at the age of ten with just the basics then as they age up they move up to more advanced training. As for the women, I do not have them train I want them safe."

"Okay and how many pack members do you have? And how do you handle perimeter runs?"

"I have three hundred total and males take turns with eight hour shifts starting with he warriors then fill in with other males as needed. Each patrol group has at least two warriors and two or three regular members patrolling."

"Good, how many alliances do you have to help you out for attacks and protection against rogues or hunters?"

" have four other packs that are my neighbors which, I have Kalen, Allen, Chris and Shawns packs that each have around four hundred plus in their packs and land in between each that is neutral territory for us to meet if we need but that is all fenced off to help keep rogues and hunters off the properties. Our towns encircle each other you could say." 

"Great, we would like to add more alliances to each of your packs to increase a stronger force. Alex how about you? How is your pack fairing?"

"We have six hundred pack members and all males and females train incase someone is caught off guard they have the opportunity to protect themselves and each other. I do not allow any females out or children out without having a guard or warrior with them for extra protection and our patrols are at least four hours each mixed with warriors, males, females and teenagers fourteen and above only. I do not feel comfortable for the younger ones to go on patrol until they have more training under their belts so to speak. And I have six alliances including your pack and always looking for more."

The meeting goes on for a few more hours until they break for lunch and meet in the pack dining hall where small talk and alliances are being made over lunch. Lunch lasted about two hours then they filed back into the meeting room and continued well into the evening when dinner was served. After dinner they were all invited to go for a run if they so choose to. But they all had to attend training during the time they spent there not only to help keep themselves in shape but also to learn some new techniques and to teach what they new to the pack.

A year and half later Matthew was required to visit the kings castle with his father as well as a couple other alpha's. The king had a meeting set up for just a few of the alphas he was over. He wanted to know how his packs were doing and they were to gather up intel and report back to him when he called for these meetings. Not everyone agreed to this and thought that they were ridiculous. Matthew thought that if he were king he would travel to the packs and make calls and check up on them on a monthly basis and welcome them into his home with open arms.

Matthew smelled something sweet as honey and roses with a hint of lavender and followed that scent to where it was coming from. It was coming out in the east garden and when he entered the garden he saw four women and a young lady sitting around a table talking and having tea. He knew that the women were too old for him but the smell came from the young one. 

"Good morning ladies? How are you all doing on this fine day?" Matthew asks, who is not seventeen and ready to meet his mate.

He looks at the young female, feels a pull towards her and his wolf is on high alert and eager to get to know her. She too has her wolf and was wanting to come out to meet his. 

"My I ask what is your name young lady?"

"Name is Meira, and what is yours may I ask?"

"Matthew, alpha to be of the The Bloodrose Hunters. I know a bit savage of a name for my pack but we are very generous and thoughtful pack."

"I see well, welcome to our kingdom, this is my mother Queen Lynsey, and her sisters which are visiting from their pack. They will be leaving this afternoon."

"Nice to meet you ladies, but before the king requests me in the meeting may I ask your hand for a walk around the castle afterwards, Miss Meira?"

"I would be delighted Alpha Matthew." 

He nodded his head and returned to the castle to the meeting room to report how his pack is doing and some of his alliances are fairing. His father could see a change in him and new he had found his mate. The meeting took about five hours and he could not wait to go find his new love, Meira.

"Son, before you go find your mate, who is she?"

"Princess Meira and she is beautiful father, our wolves wanted to come to the surface and play. I am on my way to find her now so that we may spend some time with each other before dinner and before we leave."

"Of course son, go find your mate and do not force her to be marked, let it build for a while ok?"

"Sure dad I will not force anything on her, promise."

He leaves and finds his mate and when he does his heart falters and so does hers. Their breaths hitches and they embrace each other in a passionate kiss that lasted for what felt like an eternity. When they broke they were seeing stars in each others eyes, they were true mates and their bond grew only stronger the longer they were together.

He sat sat next to her at dinner and again at breakfast the next morning. The king was all smiles seeing that his daughter found her mate but she was only seventeen and had to finish high school first and so did Matthew. Arrangements were made between both fathers that their children could see each other on weekends and holidays taking turns at each others homes.

Once they graduated high school they would be able to be married if they so choose to, but she wanted to learn more about her mothers pack that summer and went to her aunts pack for a month. During that month Matthew went to alpha training school where it was grueling process to learn more than he ever could think of. He wanted to know what it would entail to be come king as he knew he was going to marry the princess that fall.

When he returned back to his pack he and his father had an emergency call to go to the castle as it was being threatened by rogues. When they arrived with six cars packed with warriors and three surrounding alphas including him and his father.

The king came to meet up with them and had his workers show them to their rooms for the time. They had an emergency meeting was called and the king advised them what was happening. Matthew took it upon himself to take charge of the situation and appointed everyone to a post.

Later that day a war with the rogues broke out only one alpha and four warriors and two of the kings guards died but they won the war against the rogues by killing all of them. Now Matthew had to take over his pack since his father was murdered by the rogue that was in charge.

When he sent for Meira she was happy that he was alive and not harm came to him. He told her that he had to take over his pack as his father was the alpha that was killed in the war against the rogues. She understood and decided to move and become his Luna but her father was not going to have it.
