Submissive Alpha

OCHO

Taylor’s POV

Today we are meeting the pack, well at least that is what Logan said at the ungodly hour he woke up with, at least he had breakfast with him when he did that. I am so nervous to be meeting the Blood Moon pack, I mean I was not even this nervous during my own inauguration.

Speaking of inauguration, I need to ask Logan what he intends to do with Shallow River, I know if he had not met Harley and I, he would have slaughtered the entire pack, I wonder if he will change his mind now. I really hope he spares my pack, maybe they can join Blood Moon.

Logan finally gave us that tour of the suite; he was too busy yesterday making us submit to him. Admitting that I am submissive to that tree of a man has all my hackles rising, gosh Alex is being completely useless right now. His mate, Dimitri, can do no wrong according to him.

“Why are you suddenly so grouchy?” Alex asks me, “I mean you were the one who had all but begged Logan to take you against the wall.” He finishes of before bursting into what can only be described as a wolf’s attempt at laughing. He says this as if he was not right there with me, enjoying the touch and dominance Logan and Dimitri had over us.

Harley forgave us apparently this happened while I was knocked out from that i***t having his way with me, he also had his way with Harley from what she told me this morning. I cannot wait until we mate, so that I can have my way with Harley as well. Having nothing better to do, Harley discovered the library on the second floor and has not come out since Logan left her there.

I walk to Logan’s office, maybe we can have that talk before we meet the pack in about two hours, plenty of time to convince him to merge that packs, hell he can even keep the name Blood Moon, just as long as Shallow River is not left leaderless. Upon reaching his door I am not too sure whether I should knock or just stroll in like I own the place.

While I hold this internal debate with myself, I hear Logan saying, “are you going to come in, or do you plan on disintegrating the door with your deadly stare?” Huffing I open the door and walk towards the table, I remember Harley telling me what they did on that table and I feel myself getting aroused.

“Whatever it is that you are thinking about, stop before I take you on this table.” Logan gruffly says to me without looking up from his paperwork, I forgot about enhance smelling abilities that allow him to smell my arousal.

“Oh, I uhm- just wanted to ask you something.” I start by rumbling and, but I somehow finish strong, I do not understand why this man makes me forget everything, turning my brain into mush and turning my supposedly alpha wolf into a b***h in heat.

“Well,” I hear Logan chuckle, “are you going to ask, or do I need to tease it out of you?” he finishes with that teasing smirk of his. I honestly want to burn this man currently, preferably while tied down. “I wanted to ask if Shallow River could join Blood Moon?” I speak, with the full confidence – finally – of Alex behind me, I know that the  pack is important to him so I should not be amazed that he is finally showing what little dominance he has left in him.

Logan looks at me, giving absolutely nothing away, he finally puts down the papers in his hand and pushes of the table standing. “Well, you should know from whatever myth you have heard of Blood Moon, that we do not allow pack merging.” He speaks so seriously, that I am almost sure we would have a head-to-head argument about this.

“But” he drawls, “since you are Luna of Blood Moon, I think it is okay to have those who want to join, join Blood Moon.” I am so infuriated by the reference to me being a Luna that I almost did not hear him saying he will merge the packs, not fully but it is a start considering their reputation.

“Well, seeing as we need to meet the pack in about,” Logan takes the time to look at his watch, “20 minutes, let’s go get Harley and start walking to the clearing where this will be taking place.”

Logan holds out his hand for me to take, he has got to be joking, definitely not happening. I sneer and scoff at him before walking out of the office with my head held high, which is stupid on my side because I need him to navigate to the clearing. Logan reminds me of this by bursting out into laughter and walks out the office, locking the door and motions for me to follow him.

Once we manage to drag Harley out of the library, we start the short walk to the clearing, the start of a new chapter in my life, one that I am not too sure I agree with. The landscape is amazing, with green everywhere in sight, birds chirping and small animals roaming the woods.

There are a lot of people present here, easily twice the size of Shallow River and they all look like they would win in a fair fight, toddlers included. They all smile broadly when Logan passes through, he takes his time greeting all of them by name and making light conversation about their families and everyday life. This is not the Grim Reaper I was told off; this is not the man who is deemed vicious by everyone; he seems like an amazing alpha from what I can see.

Wonders never seem to end.

We finally make it the makeshift stage; well it is more of an abnormally huge stump than anything else. Everyone in the clearing is looking at Logan as if he is their hero but seeing the little interaction between him and his pack members I understand.

“Hello everyone!” comes Logan’s booming voice, it reverberates over the woods that I am pretty sure that anyone within a 100-meter range can hear this man. All you can hear in the clearing is the choruses of ‘alpha’ as a response, I am still in awe of this man, he truly is amazing.

“Thank you, for making it here on such short notice.” Logan starts off, “today I was meant to be giving feedback on the attack launched against Shallow River.” This has my hackles rising but I cannot say anything because I would be dead had it not been for the fact that we are mates.

Logan spares me a glance and I can see he is seems sorry about what he is saying, but I understand that he needs to do this, or he will get questioned by his pack members for a very long time about why he did not finish executing the attack on Shallow River.

“The attack on Shallow River was stopped when I found my mates.” I hear a few murmurs and a few gasps coming from the crowd, “yes, mates.” Logan says proudly.

“Allow me to introduce to you my mates before we get down to business.” The nerves come back, I feel my heart beating out of control, blood rushing through me, and if I can hear it, then all these wolves can also definitely hear it. That encourages me to try and calm myself down.

“This is Harley McNally and Taylor Bennett, my mates and your Lunas.” Logan says to the crowd, his eyes glinting with pride and his chest puffed out, he looks so happy to be introducing us. Harley and I step forward and the pack starts going insane, they start cheering and chanting ‘Luna’, I am still not happy about this, but the acceptance feels very nice.

Logan joins in with the chanting and starts laughing when he sees the scowl on my face from being called Luna. He moves back onto the stump and grabs the attention of the pack, merely by stepping back on the stump. The way he commands the attention and admiration of his – well I guess now it is our – pack is really awe-inspiring.

“The Blood Moon welcoming is a warm welcoming and you all have displayed this when welcoming my mates.” Logan starts off, he is once again serious as he addresses the pack, “as I initially said, the attack on Shallow River was stopped when I met my mates. There is going to be some change.” Logan scans the crowd looking at everyone, “as per Blood Moon tradition, we never merge with other packs, but seeing as I am mated to the heir of Shallow River pack, they will inadvertently join our pack.

This is faced with several cries of outrage; I had hoped that this would not happen but clearly nothing is ever that easy. “Settle down, I know this is not something we are used to, but change is important.” Logan somehow manages to calm the angry crowd. He continues speaking about how the merger is going to work, from how they will remain on their land and become a branch of Blood Moon, he also states that it will be a learning process so everyone must be ready for hiccups during the journey.

Having seen Logan interact with his pack and his willingness to protect Harley and I is making me see him in another light. Once Logan is done with his speech on how we are going to be navigating through these times, he says that we – as in Harley and I – will be having conversations with them – the pack – so that they can get to know us better.

It is going to be a fun night. Can you feel my sarcasm?

Let the festivities begin.
