I have no idea what got into me, but Alpha Reggie and Warrior Osiston didn’t stop me, so I put a finality to the conversation and then looked to them for what to do next as I came out of the haze that clouded me while I was putting this Alpha in his place. What I saw was not what I expected.
I expected shock or horror or disapproval at my speaking out and over them basically.
They both had the biggest smile on their faces and Luna Anne gave me a wink.
I took a look around the room at the rest of the Alphas and their entourage, including some of the daughters I was wamed about. Varying looks of disbelief, surprise, disgust and fear littered all their faces and I just wanted to sink into my chair, feeling like I made a spectacle of myself.
I was just here to offer my opinions, not take over a discussion, no matter how much Alpha Brecc deserved to have his pompous ass told off. I looked down at my portfolio, looking at the schedule I have basically memorized, but needing something to do.
“Don’t shy away now, you just owned this room. They at least know why you’re here now and it’s not as my arm candy, you eamed your seat at this table unlike many of the people standing around the room. Although, speaking of arm candy, we need to get a picture and send it to the guys, cause am going torture the sh*t out of them with you looking this good on my arm and not theirs.” I snap my eyes to him and can’t help the smile that breaks out on my face to match his. He is trying to help me have fun in this very un- fun situation.
“I’m sure your torture of them began long before now, if their gift is any indication.” I whisper back, touching the multitude of bracelets. He just gets this smile that reminds me of Sam when he is up to no good and ready to take everyone around him down his path of troublemaking.
Before I can get lost in that train of thought though, Alpha Reggie speaks up.
“Well, Alpha Brecc, it sounds like you have your assignments. Come back to us when you have completed your tasks. Let’s take a break before we reconvene, I believe a few other packs have requests for training and warrior assistance.” He looked pointedly at each Alpha sitting at the table, letting them know they were going to get the same treatment as Alpha Brecc.
Xander stood and helped me from my chair and we followed his parents to a small chamber off of the conference room, while the rest of the Alphas and their people filed out the door we entered.
“Perks of living here is you get to use all of the fun secret rooms.” Alpha Reggie laughed as a warrior closed the door behind us”
That was spectacular, I need to bring you in more often. Alpha Brecc is usually difficult and likes to monopolize the conversation, as you saw. He also likes to ask for more than what he actually needs, just to see what he can get. I didn’t realize that it was your pack that led the relief assistance for those attacks.”
I nodded in agreement. “It was the first time Gamma Brett and Delta Kyle let me go outside the pack with the warriors.
I don’t even know if my father and brother know I was a part of that team. We obviously had to get permission to cross Alpha Brecc’s territory and he was slow to give it, even though he never actually came to meet us.
That’s why his warrior recognized me and not him. We helped the surrounding packs come up with their patrols and work together while the clean up and recovery went on.
The damage was pretty severe in the Shadow pack, and it lessened the further south it moved along the borders of the Moon Valley Pack and the Eclipse Pack towards the Royal pack. It was like a mushroom top of destruction that didn’t extend too deep into the packs themselves, but that land was destroyed and any structures close to the borders were demolished.
The Irontooth pack had nothing to worry about based on the evidence, I just think Alpha Brecc wanted the attention the other packs were getting. So we did what we were doing with the rest of the packs, damage control and clean-up and plans for training and protection.
He obviously was under the wrong impression if he thought Royal Pack warriors Came in and stayed to run patrol details and rebuild buildings.” I laughed a little at the thought.
