Max...
Meanwhile across town.....
Max awoke in his Manhattan Condo, with the sun blinding in his eyes. Max had forgotten to close the blinds in the Master suite before he clocked out this morning at 4 am. Max rolled over in his bed and squinted at his alarm clock it read 2 pm. Max jumped out of bed and headed into the bathroom. Casting a glance at his reflection he realized he was developing dark circles around his eyes.
Brushing off his reflection Max stripped out of his clothes and stepped into the shower. Allowing the hot water to soothe his aching muscles. Max found himself deep in thought as he made a mental plan about the day before him.
Renovations on his bar we're almost complete, due to all the late nights he had spent doing most of the work himself. He had upgraded the upper condo to fit his style better well-leaving room for his beta to add some of his own personal touches to it when he returned from L.A this weekend. Since the bar needed to get finished Max had sent his Beta Trevor to broker a new deal with the L.A pack which will be mutually beneficial to both their packs. Which would give max himself enough to review the terms his beta and their Alpha had come to.
The Alpha of the L.A pack was a close family friend and when his father passed away during a rouge attack he had been appointed the next alpha, it was an unforgettable ceremony. Max and Demitri had spent most of the night indulging in beers and childhood memories it was both a ceremony and a wake for his father. As have been their customs for many generations, since these five blood moon packs split and moved across the states. We have all remained quite close over the generations, all descending from the Blood Moon King and his Moon Goddess Mate.
The story is that the Blood Moon King was to ascend to his throne upon the betroth of him and his bride. However, rogues invaded their court and slaughtered his soon to be bride, led by his younger brother the Blood Moon Prince. They say he was jealous of his older brother and stopped at nothing to kill him, so he could be the one to ascend into the throne, he felt he was the one who deserved it, completely disregarding their customs, he fled and became the first known Rogue.
He was unable to kill his older brother and killed his bride instead to ensure he would not ascend into the throne. However, the Moon goddess Selena saw this and created a Moon Goddess in her own right to be his bride and she created three messengers to hunt the Blood Moon Prince down and kill him. Legend has it that there is a pack in Alaska that are descendants of the Blood Moon Prince and his mistresses.
Once the Blood Moon Prince had been killed The Blood Moon King married his goddess and bore five children together. The king was upset as he watched his boys grow as they all had great qualities to be Alpha kings. It was here he finally realized why his brother hated their traditional customs. He created a petition and appealed to the royal court to create a new chapter in their history. To allow his five sons to ascend into the alpha hood and branch out across North America to become the five Blood Moon Packs of the royal family. The council had agreed that it was time to progress as the rest of the world was and agreed, to his terms on one condition that their next born child would remain here in the kingdom to keep their current traditions alive. So the king agreed. His sons traveled across North America and established themselves in what today is New York, L.A, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania.
Shaking his head Max shut the hot water off and dried himself with a towel walking back into his bedroom he began to dress for the day when he heard a loud shriek from the hallway.
Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Jumping max turned to find himself face to face with Rowenta, the housekeeper his father had employed thirty years ago. Reaching for his towel he covered up his manhood. " Max you scared me. sorry. I wasn't expecting you to be here this late in the day." Rowetta spoke with a thick Spanish accent.
"It's okay. I was working late at the bar and didn't set my alarm clock when I got in this morning" Max replied while reaching for clothes from the closet. "The grand opening will be taking place next week" he added "You should stop by, drinks are on the house. Just family and friends Friday night 8 pm food and drinks" He paused casting a glance at Rowetta as she absorbed the information. "Maybe bring some of your world-famous quesadillas"?
Rowetta chuckled. " You always did love those as a boy" Max tried to hide his grin because he really did love her quesadillas growing up. He used to whine and cry until she made them for him.
"Okay I will make them for your grand opening and I will be there early with bells on"
"Gracious" Max replied while hurrying into the bathroom to finish getting dressed for another long day in hopes of having everything finished by Thursday for the Grand Opening on Friday.
