He knows that sometimes when I’m deep in thought or very concentrated on my task I miss certain things and this could be one of those times. After all, I need to concentrate on avoiding getting caught, but I also want to find that reward and that means finding a balance between concentrating so I don’t get caught and looking out for that painting.
“Thanks, Dad. I couldn’t imagine any of the Royals being mated to a Fairy and none of us know about it. It would have come out somehow, somewhere down the line and I am not sure how everyone would have reacted to that. Most Wolves and Lycans still blame the Fairies for losing all Humans during the war, not that it is fair to blame the Fairies because Vampires, Werewolves and Lycans were as much to blame.” I say to Dad.
After Dad leaves, I ask Hestia what happened during night patrol, just in case somebody might ask me today. Not that I am expecting anyone to come looking for me, I doubt Donovan will have the guts to come down here and Elinor is smart enough to know that I will not accept the position of Gamma.
Hestia tells me that nothing unusual happened during night patrol, it was a quiet and boring night for them, and according to her, I had more fun. Gaia asks me if I took any pictures, but I have to disappoint them as none of Sundown Pack’s future leadership was out of line. I tell them it actually surprised me to find every male in his own bed without a female next to him.
Gaia’s brother is the only one within the pack that knows I am still in the competition and he has promised me he will not tell anyone, he wants to see the look on everyone’s faces when they realize I was the one that took out Donovan and Gibson. Even though our entire Pack was raised the same way, there are a few that agree with Donovan, that a female shouldn’t get a high-ranking position.
I don’t know if they also agree with Donovan on chosen and fated mates, but knowing there are more Pack-members that don’t want me in that position is enough reason for me to decline the position when Dad decides to step down. We did talk about Elinor and Kali taking over as Beta and Alpha, but so far we haven’t been able to find any Pack-members that have spoken out against it and I wonder what Alpha Brad will do if anyone tells him they don’t want females in their leadership.
Like Alpha Eros he might decide to dissolve the Pack and let King Alwin deal with all the members that no longer have a Pack to call home.
Zalia
Alpha Brad called me to his office a minute ago and I ask Nyx to keep track of the time, I need to know how long I had to take it off for this meeting. It will affect my plans for the rest of the day and I would like to get some sleep before I head out to Amber Moon Pack.
I walk into the Pack-house to find Donovan and Gibson waiting outside Alpha Brad’s office, both of them start smiling when they see me approaching and Twilight is growling in my head. I say good morning to them as I walk past them to the door, I knock on it even though it is opened wide and Alpha Brad tells me to come in.
I sit down in the chair across from him and Donovan and Gibson follow my lead after Gibson has closed the door, “Zalia, Donovan asked for this meeting, he has something he wants to discuss with us.” Alpha Brad says and we both turn our heads to Donovan.
“Zalia, I am sorry if you thought I didn’t want you as my Gamma. I should have said something when Rick made that remark, but I was to stunned to react. You have proven time and again that you are a good Gamma, you see and understand things most wouldn’t and I apologize if I gave you the impression that I would refuse you the position of Gamma.” He says.
“Doesn’t he realize that we know him better than anyone else?” Twilight growls in my head. “Donovan, I appreciate you apologizing to me.” I say and I see a smile appear on his face. The look in his eyes tells me he thinks I am dumb enough to fall for his apology and I allow him to make a fool of himself.
“Thank you, Zalia. Dad, I know that I need to prove to you and Mom that I can be the Alpha our Pack needs and I promise that I will prove it to both of you. I am not sure if Elinor will be able to find a Gamma that is right for our Pack and I will accept any time you demand for me to prove my worth.” Donovan says.
I shake my head as Alpha Brad looks at me. “No, Donovan. I will never become your Gamma, not because you didn’t stand up for me to Rick. I will never become your Gamma, because you and Gibson are the kind of males I hate from the bottom of my heart. You apologize for not standing up for me, but you forget that both of you have ignored me ever since we got back from the Palace.
You were angry with Slater for accepting a position in another Pack, you probably think no one saw but Twilight and I did. You made up excuse after excuse to leave the room whenever I entered, but you didn’t even bother coming up with an excuse if no one else was around. I thought we were best friends, but apparently, that was one-sided.
Elinor has already chosen her Gamma and my Dad is already training her. They will take over when our Fathers step down, you better get used to answering to your baby Sister and if I ever hear that you are making trouble for her, I will hunt you down and kick your fucking ass.” I say before I walk out of Alpha Brad’s office.
Alpha Brad doesn’t stop me from leaving and I hope he will give both of them hell for what they did to me, for what they tried to do today. I head straight up to my room when I get back to Gaia’s home and I pull out my phone to call Asha, I need someone to talk to who doesn’t live in this Pack.
Princess Asha
I feel my phone buzz and I look at the screen to see who is calling me, “Ammon, I need to answer this call. It’s Zalia.” I say through the mind-link and he gestures for me to get out of the room. The moment I have closed the door behind me, I answer my phone, “Hello, Zalia. What is going on?” I ask her because I know she wouldn’t call me if she could talk to someone else.
I sit down on my bed as I listen to her, “Has Donovan tried to apologize before today?” I ask her.
“I don’t know, I have been living with Gaia and today was the first time I set foot in the Pack-house.” Zalia answers me and I ask her if he ever tried to link her, she tells me he didn’t.
“What will you do when Alpha Brad gets approval from Alwin to give Donovan’s position to Elinor?” I ask her and she asks me what I mean.
“Alpha Brad has to inform Alwin about the change in leadership for Moon Stone Pack and he has to explain why he doesn’t want to hand it over to his first born, not having a
Gamma isn’t a valid reason.
Alpha Brad will have to explain to Alwin that Donovan never wanted to accept you as his Gamma and I think it will be difficult to prove that fact.” I explain and for a moment she is quiet, then she asks me if a taped confession will do.
“Yes, if someone could tape Donovan while he confesses that he never wanted a female as his Gamma, Alwin will accept it and he will allow Alpha Brad to hand over the Pack to Elinor.” I answer.
“Now I want you to answer my question, what will you do when Alpha Brad’s request gets approved?” I ask her again and she tells me that she will travel for a while to find her Mate, “And if that fails I can always move to the Palace and get adopted by Alwin and Axelle.” She says and both of us are laughing our asses off.
