The Alphas Dilemma

Chapter Thirty Nine

Chapter Thirty Nine

Emory's pov

Six months later….

"Tom, I need you in my office," I said to my male assistant, immediately after we finished having breakfast. The last five months had been brutal with hell of workload and activities but it all finally paid off, when I was officially and publicly crowned an Alpha, with the help of Alessandro and the entire member of his pack, especially his mother, ex Luna Alessia. You know the story, I didn't wake up one morning and decide to be the Alpha king, in fact, I didn't get a pack passed on to me. I built everything from scratch and together with my friends, we built one of the most formidable packs in the werewolf realm. It'd been exactly six months since I got reunited with Ruby and Jamal and ever since life has been pretty much easier. Anya, Gilbert's secretary, Tom, my male assistant I got from Alessandro, Lucy, the female assistant I got from Stephanie, Bella the girl saved from Gilbert's claws, and a few other people were the people that had played various big roles to ensure the success of my public Coronation. They are from every font, a blessing to my life, indeed life had a purpose for us meeting the way we did.

Together with other rogues who needed a place to call home, we started this pack. We slowly built ourselves, and erected our pack so high in the sky and made it formidable. We earned our place in the werewolf realm and made the Crescent moon pack home for all; we made it open to every harmless rogue who wants a place to call home and people to call family. It is safe to say, the Altra pack was the pack for the lonely and rejected. Of course, we formed a great alliance with the moon valley pack, with Jamal as my Beta, Ruby, the Zeta, Tom, my male assistant, Lucy my Female assistant, Bella in charge of the security department, and Anya as my head of the legal team. These same people are the same in charge of matters in my company. Agreed, the workload might be much, I trust them well enough to know they'd get pissed if I gave the post out to some stranger. Pearl glimmers international limited is one of the biggest fashion companies in the whole of Italy while Goldie platinum winery measures as one of the biggest wine companies in Italy. Two months ago, I dived into the hospitality sector and in a few weeks, I'll be launching a makeup brand— Emory facials.

The others seemed to want to have small talks after breakfast, something I wasn't interested in so I quietly stood up from my seat and then proceeded to my office in the pack house. Although we all had our separate houses, apartments, and condos we spent most of our time together in the pack house. A knock followed shortly after I entered my office "come in" I briskly replied and the door opened to reveal Tom.

"Here I am, boss" he replied shakily, which gave him off. I knew something is wrong already

"What is wrong"

"Uhh…Uhm…"

"I f*****g asked you a question! It's words I want to hear not stutters so answer me" being an Alpha, and a CEO was a job that kept me over the edge in recent times. This second I'm laughing, smiling, and making jokes with you, and the next minute I'm ready to pounce on you. "Are the supplies here?"

"Yes Alpha, checked and complete!" He said confidently this time.

"So what's the issue?" He looked reluctant to talk and since I neither had the strength nor time to continue with his games, I went ahead with the reason for summoning him.

"Start preparing for our opening ceremony. I need the guest list by the end of the week at most. The rest is up to you and whoever you choose as your team member"

"I'll get right on it"

"Great, That will be all" he was still lurking around so I added. "And I need the catalog of the goods in the warehouse. Collect all necessary data relating to them and send it to Ruby's email. She knows what to do with them "

"Yes, Alpha " he replied with a curt nod.

"That will be all. You may go" I said and continued working on the files on my table, but suddenly looking back up, I noticed that Tom still lurking around. I knew he wanted to say something and I knew it was very important considering the way he looked nervous because he was hardly shaken by situations.

"You can either say that it is that you want to say or leave my office, Tom"

"Umm—"

"Get over with the stuttering and answer me"

"You got an invitation on your email"

"What is this invitation about?"

"The invitation was to tell you about the billionaire/ CEO award and the 'get investor ball night"

"Sooooooo? what's the fuss and stuttering all about?" I asked but he still didn't answer me. I put two and two together and that was when it hit me. If I'm correct, which of course I am, the award/ ball night comes up every July 20th. If yesterday was the 19th, it meant today is….

Oh my goodness!

"What the f*****g hell, Tom? Don't f*****g tell me it's today? How am I to prepare with such short notice?"

"Uh—actually, Alpha It got shifted," he said breathlessly and relief washed over me. If it got shifted it meant I'll have enough time to prepare.

"When is the new date ?" I asked, zooming my eyes back to the files on my tabletop.

"Tomorrow " he voicelessly acclaimed.

I looked at him bewildered, trying to keep my cool.

"This definitely be a joke because the whole pack will be feasting on your body tonight if this is true" I snarled.

"I'm sorry, Alpha. The email somehow got lost. I was reshuffling yesterday and that's when I saw it"

I let out a dirty laugh. A very dark humorless laugh.

"And you think it is cute to not tell me immediately you saw it yesterday?" I brought out my defense gun from my drawer and placed it on his head. "Do you f*****g want me to blow your heads off" I snarled but the little son of a b***h did not even flinch. He knew there was no bullet in the gun.

"Where is the event taking place? and what time" I asked, slumping down on my seat. I had no option but to accept reality.

" The event will be taking place in the blood moon pack. The event starts at 7 p.m. one hour before the red carpet show. It starts properly by 8 pm"

I huffed and facepalmed. The last time I was at the Blood moon pack, things didn't end well between me and Alpha Gilbert and I made a promise to myself that the next time I step foot on the land, it will be for the sole aim of executing my revenge plan—which could also work. I just need to plan properly and come up with a boycott alternative in case of unforeseen events. I just need to make proper calculations and hit well.

"Is that all?" I asked.

"Yes, Alpha"

"Good. Arrange for a council meeting in the next one hour. Inform the people concerned this very second." I eyed him. "I mean this second I don't want you forgetting anything, do you understand me?"

"Yes Alpha"

"You may go. Tell Lucy to see me" The second he was out of my door, my head began to bang heavily, an indication that someone was trying to mind-link me, so I gave in.
