Cobi’s p. o. v
“So you are suggesting to demolish the empty store building and build a big orphanage mansion for the orphaned pups?” Ken asked seriously.
“Well yes, won’t that be amazing to have the little ones taken good care of?. That way a few she-wolves who are doing nothing might help with taking good care of the little ones.” I answered.
“Rhoyda what do you think?” He asked seriously.
“I think that’s a nice idea.” She answered with a smile.
I turned and grabbed Beca’s hand in mine gently.
“What do you think?” I asked softly.
She quickly lifted her free hand and shook her head.
“Oh no, I’m not suitable to be in this room or to participate.” She answered seriously, surprising me.
“You are my mate and I’m a beta, that gives you all the rights to be in here and to contribute whatever you want,” I answered with emphasis.
“He is right you know. You are now a beta’s mate, which means you hold more power than those below his rank. You have a say in this as well as an opinion.” Ken answered.
“Okay, um… I love the idea of you guys setting an orphanage there. Moreover, I would be thrilled to be one of those that will take care of the orphaned pups.” She answered seriously.
I moved and leaned against the couch with laughter.
Everyone looked at me seriously while Beca had a sad expression on her face.
“What makes you think you will be taking care of the orphaned pups?” I asked between laughter
“Well because I love children, and taking care of them would be my pleasure.” She answered seriously.
“Gosh, I love your answer, so much. You see, by then I can guarantee that you will either be busy in bed under me or pregnant carrying my pup.” I answered seriously.
Rhoyda gave me a shocked look while Ken was trying so hard to suppress his laughter. Beca on the other hand, had heated cheeks. She moved her free hand to her face and covered it.
“What, I’m serious.” I whispered then leaned in and kissed her head.
“You guys seriously. You can’t seem to keep your hands off of each other.” Rhoyda said then rotated the blueprint on the table which was between us.
“Says the one who can’t seem to do the same.” I teased.
She quickly wanted to move her hand from Ken’s grip but he tightened it.
“Okay, since this is settled, what do you say we begin working on the pack house in two days time?” Ken asked.
I pulled my hand from Beca’s and pointed at the blueprint on the table.
“Fine, I agree. But I just hope that Cole and Jason find this place befitting.” I answered.
“What are you saying, you have both been working under our two alphas for quite some time. You know what they like and dislike, they asked you to work together for a reason. They know that you both won’t disappoint .” Beca said loudly.
I shifted and looked at her with a smirk.
“You sound so fucking dominate and hot right now.” I whispered using our mind link.
She smiled widely then lowered her gaze to the ground.
“Should I bring you some more beers?” She asked softly.
“Yes, please do. I think we are done here. Aren’t we?” I asked seriously.
“Yes, we are.” Rhoyda answered while standing up.
“Okay, then excuse me.” Beca said as she stood up.
“Beca, I’m coming with you.” Rhoyda said then grabbed the Blueprint from the table and walked to the door.
“Okay,” Beca answered then walked out of the room with her, leaving me with Ken.
“Hey man, I want to apologize for what happened today. I didn’t mean to upset you or cause some misunderstanding between you and your mate. Beca is just like a sister to me and …..”
“Ken relax. You already apologized and I understood clearly. I hold nothing against you besides respect, you gave my mate a second chance to live a peaceful life and because of you, I was able to meet and be with her.” I answered honestly after cutting him short.
“I’m glad you think that way. Hey, how about spending a night here?” He asked seriously.
“Um…..” I trailed off.
“Let’s drink and have a chat. If we are going to be working together, don’t you think it’s a good idea to get to know each other better?” He asked.
Well, he wasn’t wrong. He was right, if we were going to work together we needed to know each other better.
“Fine, we will stay for a night here, I’ll call one of my warriors and inform him about everything.” I answered.
“You can get to see Beca’s house you know…” He said with a raised brow.
I chuckled softly then nodded.
“Alright, you are kind of a funny matured type aren’t you?” I asked seriously.
“Right back at you.” He answered.
“I’m not really funny, I’m kind of sarcastic when upset.” I answered with a chuckle.
“Tell me a little bit about Cole.” He said as I sighed loudly.
“What’s there to tell…. well, Cole is an amazing alpha, very serious and strict at times. He has been running his pack for years and made sure that all the rules were followed till recently. He cares more about his people than anyone. He can never force someone to do something they aren’t comfortable with unless it’s a punishment. He helped me a lot when I was at my worst and took me in when I had nowhere to go. I won’t lie, I chose to serve Cole and him alone. But now that we are merging the two packs, I have to learn to accept Alpha Jason as well and show him respect.” I said honestly.
“Mmm, Cole sounds very different from Jason. You see, when this pack was burnt down to ashes, Jason went away or should I say ran away to another country. There he lived with humans and decided to forget about the past. The few remaining survivors were mourning and too weak to do anything, they needed someone to step up and look after them, alpha or not. That’s when I decided to step up and guide them. With their help, we worked hard and rebuilt this pack. Everything was getting back in one piece and the people were once again happy, sadly we all knew that we were lacking something.” He said softly.
“An alpha right?” I asked.
“Yes. The people needed an alpha to rule and guide us, as well as protect us. So I began searching for a way to track down Jason. To be honest, it took me a few years and money to find out where he was. When I went to talk to him, the man was stubborn. He wanted nothing to do with this pack nor his people. I had to convince him and talk him into coming. Once he agreed, he came back home and the people were happy and satisfied with everything. You see, Jason can never be strong as Cole because he lacks training, but he is a good alpha. He’s understanding, kind, and hard-working. Soon you will see it for yourself.” He said.
I was about to respond when the door opened, Rhoyda and Beca walked in with a few bottles of beer.
“Sorry we are late. We were debating on what to cook for you guys. You know, ladies style.” Rhoyda said then put the bottles on the table.
“It’s okay, we were just having a chat as well.” I answered as Beca put two bottles on the table and handed me one.
I grabbed it and pat my lap with my free hand.
She hesitated but moved and sat there.
Rhoyda grabbed one beer from the table and sat next to Ken.
“So I have decided to spend a night here, is that okay?” I asked Rhoyda seriously then opened my beer bottle with my teeth.
“Yes, actually that’s a good idea. That way we can chat some more and get to know each other better.” She answered as I chuckled softly.
She and Ken were somehow similar. They had the same ideas and that was so damn funny.
“Baby are you okay with us spending the night here?” I asked Beca through our mind link.
“Yes, just don’t get drunk.” She answered.
“How about you take a sip?” I asked loudly.
“No, I don’t drink.” She answered seriously.
“There is always a first time for everything.” I said softly.
She looked me in the eyes then shook her head to refuse.
“Please, for me.” I whispered softly.
“Fine.” She answered.
I moved the bottle to her lips. She opened her mouth and took a sip.
Her expression instantly turned into a surprised one.
“It’s tasty right?” I asked.
“It’s bitter, very bitter.” She complained.
“Well, since we are celebrating somehow, how about I open a champagne bottle?” Rhoyda asked.
“Yes that’s an amazing idea, and I’m sure that Beca will love it.” I answered.
Rhoyda put her bottle on the table, stood up, and walked out of the room.
“You will take some champagne right?” I asked calmly.
“Yes, I will. I have heard so much about it. That’s why I’m dying to taste some.” She answered.
I took a sip from my bottle and smiled.
She was innocent and I loved that about her. Because it meant her firsts were going to be all mine.
“I want to see how Rhoyda acts when she gets drunk, so let’s drink to our heart’s content.” Ken said as I laughed loudly.
The door opened and Rhoyda walked in with a bottle of champagne and a glass.
“Beca hold this for me.” She said.
Beca quickly stood up and grabbed the glass from her hand.
“To us,” Rhoyda said then popped it open with a wide smile.
“You will have to finish this alone Beca because we are all taking beers.” She said as Beca quickly looked at me.
I laughed loudly then sat upright and held her hand.
She was so fucking cute.
“Let’s drink up then.” I answered happily.
