Reign. Doesn’t this word sound so powerful? Like the world is finally going to change. Like that person who possesses the crown has at last acquired the power to do many wonderful things. Like the ball is in their court and they can do with it as they please. Yes, that’s exactly what I thought as well. That I would be helping Deimos seated at his right. That I would be among the males.
Not this.
“Luna, can you please have a look at this?” A wolf requests me at my right.
“Of course, just give me a seco-” I reach for the papers she has in her hands.
“Luna, what must we do in this situation? I think our hands are tied!” Another female calls out to me seated at my left.
“Well, I still haven’t had the time to read that file but can you-” I speak to her gulping down my now cold coffee. We have been at this for hours.
“Luna! We are running out of time. Please give me your final agreement on this project so I can deliver your answer.” The female in front of me speaks, her tone a bit frustrated and the other wolves she’s in charge of nod their heads supporting her.
“I still haven’t concluded that as a lot of information is missing. Try to buy us more time and-” I try to convey my message to them but the females in this room are so stressed that they pour their requests before I can even answer their questions.
“Luna! Luna!” As they all start to call out to me for my attention my head feels like it may explode at any moment. I just need a break. But I am in charge so I must learn to handle this. I am an Alpha, I can do this!
Goddess, can someone just save me already?
The sound of a wolf clearing his throat ends all the conversations to a pin drop silence. We all look up as Elriam sweeps across the females with her deadly intense stare. The females gulp while I sigh with relief. My saviour has arrived.
“Alpha has other matters to attend to. Leave.” She commands and the females quickly gather their papers and belongings and scurry out with a low bow.
As the last female scutters away shutting the door as softly as she could, I laugh. Elriam smiles at my response. “I don’t think they are even that afraid of me as they are of you. They all looked like a bunch of pups just now.” I say in between chuckles.
“That’s good, isn’t it? They have become quite close to you so they do not fear you much. But you do need someone to put them in their place when you cannot.” She says softly as I nod smiling.
Getting up I stretch my limbs finally satisfied. “Where is Deimos? I haven’t seen him all day.” I ask her looking out the window.
“He went out for a meeting with Ragon. They needed to talk to our warriors about something. They should be here soon.” Elriam says as I nod.
“Why wasn’t I informed about this? Perhaps I need to apply for the Beta’s position.” I say sarcastically.
“Perhaps I can kill Ragon for you, Alpha. I can just squish him with my bare hands and you can take his place.” Elriam says as I laugh at her idea. But my laughter is cut off when we hear the sound of the bells echoing through the halls. The bells are a sign that someone unknown has entered our lands but they are not a threat.
Elriam and I rush down the stairs and run towards the gates. Whom could it be? As we reach the gates I see two cars roll in. The second car resembles Deimos’s car so why would the bells ring? As I look closely the first car does not seem to be ours. Did he bring in someone? A friend perhaps?
Deimos gets out first and I smile waving at him. He looks a bit uneasy as he waits with Ragon, hands folded across his chest for the wolf to get out from the first car.
As the car door finally opens I see black polished shoes then my eyes scan up to his tight blue pants and his white shirt. When I finally see his face my eyes widen. Elriam coughs beside me surprised and utters the word, “Shit.”
No way… no way! My smile widens when I finally see who it is and as the wolf opens his arms wide open, I run full speed into them. He catches me swiftly and pulls me closer into his arms as I snuggle deeper inhaling his scent.
“Alpha.” He whispers letting me go.
“Jace. I have missed you.” I reply as he smiles.
“And so have I.” He says while his eyes land on Elriam. “Hello there. Have you missed me as much?” He asks Elriam.
“I would rather die.” She says smiling as her eyes show irritation while Jace and I chuckle in response.
“How have you been?” I ask him softly.
Jace keeps quiet looking down until his brown eyes look deep into mine.
