The Alpha King Losses and One Gain
Celeste was never the type of woman to complain, but the arrogance and confidence of the Alpha King's beta was something to scream about. Celeste could not understand why she had to attend this event since it had been so many years looking for her mate. Fifteen, long grueling years. She eventually gave up and decided that love was not in the stars for her. She had many wolves that would suit her, but she just could not bear the thought of giving herself to someone else. Celeste was the Crystal Lake Pack Gamma. She was the best warrior in over two hundred and thirty years. Beta Marco was confirming security for each pack attending the event. Gamma Nico had been preparing the special forces squad for the event to enhance security and did not have time to do it this year. Ring. Ring. “Hello, Gamma Celest speaking. Who do I have the privilege of speaking to today?” “Yes, indeed a privilege on your part. This is Beta Marco calling from the kingdom. I would like to verify the total of guards and names for tomorrow’s event with you Gamma Celestina,” he enunciated. Celest winced at the way Beta Marco said her name. I mean, they have not even met face to face, and he was acting like a creep. Celeste cleared her throat and continued to speak. “Crystal Lake pack will be bringing fifteen of our best guards to attend the event to help with security. Two guards will remain with the Alpha and myself. Will that suffice?” “It’s more than enough, Celestina.” Beta Marco said as he laughed at his own tease. I look forward to seeing you and your pack at the event. “Yes, Beta Marco. See you at tomorrow’s event.” Click. Next Day Crystal Pack arrived at the Kingdom early morning. Celeste wanted to ensure that her guards were brief for the evening events and posted on time. Alpha Gerardo Office “Alpha, I will be meeting with the first wave of pack Gamma’s to brief responsibilities, timelines, and posts. Would you like to attend as well?” “I will have to pass. There is a pressing matter I need to see to this morning, and I do not think I will have enough time to make.” “Everything cool, I don’t remember hearing anything pressing this morning from Jackie.” “It is nothing big. Viviana has been giving Foxy a tough time since she came to my room, and I just wanted to squash shit before it gets out of control. You know how these wolves can be. Plus, this is kind of my fault.” “Kind of?” Gerardo looks up at Marco and says, “You know what the hell I mean. I cannot imagine the number of problems come from your one-night stands.” “I do not have problems from the ladies. I keep things open and honest with them all.” Gerardo chuckled. “Yea, just the perfect gentleman.” “Alright boss, maybe I’ll catch you at lunch.” “Sure thing.” At the meeting hall. The attending packs security team were waiting in the meeting hall for Beta Marco’s brief. As they mingled amongst themselves and allied packs there was a slight hum from all the chatter. “Beta Marco!” announced the guard situated at the back of the meeting hall, which is connected to the floor offices. “Good morning, everyone,” says Beta Marco. “I am Beta Marco, for anyone who has not heard or met me. Today I will be going over your security schedules fore the event. You will have an opportunity to rotate through to attend the event, if you are an unmated wolf. Ensure you are where you were instructed to be to avoid any unnecessary issues or imprisonment. Understood?” “Yes Beta,” they all said in unison. “I will issue out the schedules to your Gammas to sort who is where. Everyone will have a headset and walkie for communication to ensure faster feedback. If you are having tech problems, mind link your team lead to exchange equipment. Any questions of me?” “No Beta!” They all replied in unison again. “You are all dismissed. Gamma Celest, may I have a moment of your time?” Not that I have much of a choice, thought Celeste. “Yes, Beta Marco.” “I hear you are attending the event tonight.” “I am” “I look forward to seeing your beautiful face. Do have fun. If you do not find your mate tonight, I would love to entertain you for the remainder of the evening.” Celeste did her best to maintain a professional smile. Before she could respond Beta Marco took her hand and kissed the back of her hand. Celeste froze in place. She blinked her eyes twice and came back to center. She placed her other hand on the Beta hand and said, “I’m truly flattered to be offered your time, but I’m sure I can help with security if a mate is not in the stars tonight.” She lightly pulled her hand from the Beta’s and proceeded to where her pack was. Marco smirked as he turned to leave for Gerardo’s office. Viviana My night was ruined after finding out Alpha let Foxy come to his room two weeks ago. I have done everything for him and gave him my all. Who could be a better Luna and leader than me? No one. The Alpha was mine and I needed it to stay that way. I must figure out how to get rid of Foxy.
