Axel’s p. o. v
“I’m telling you, that sick bastard would have wanted to fuck Lexi if he was still alive.” August said on top of his voice then took another shot.
After eating and drinking some wine, the ladies said their good night and left.
I gave Lexi Money as a gift from both Amelia and Ian. I then went on to ask Leo to come by my pack whenever he was going to be free. I wanted to hand him a cheque for Lexi so he could get her a car, that would be a gift from me and Aurora.
“If he won’t shut his fucking mouth I’ll kill him.” Ryan warned.
We all sat around the table on a mat taking shots.
“Relax, he is just drunk.” I said calmly.
“And you, your Alpha queen… was it Aurora?. He would have found a way to break her mentally before having his way with her. At least she could have put on a good fight like Whitney, but if it was her human side Amelia, he wouldn’t have shed a sweat on her.” He said as I furiously got up.
Leo stood up as well and pressed his hand on my chest.
“Alpha, like you said, this bastard is drunk and way out of his mind.” He whispered softly, calming me down.
There was no way that he could have broken Aurora mentally because she could have found a way to kill him. Plus Amelia had a tough personality even though she looked sweet and kind.
I slowly sat down then looked at the twins who were glaring at him.
“Take that loud mouth to bed.” I ordered.
“You don’t have to say it twice.” Evan answered, then stood up and grabbed August by his leg.
“Hey, what the hell are you doing?” He asked on top of his voice when Evan dragged him out of the room.
“Alpha, aren’t you going to stop this crazy fool!. Help me!” He called on top of his voice.
I ignored him and picked up the bottle of tequila pouring a shot for myself.
“Whose idea was it to mix wolfsbane into the liquor?” I asked seriously.
“Um….. It was mine.” Ryan whispered in a low tone.
I looked at him then moved the bottle to him on the table.
“Since you were the genius behind it all, you should be taking a lot of shots.” I said.
He looked at it then back at me.
“Yes alpha.” He answered.
“The blubber mouth is finally in his room.” Evan said when he walked into the room.
He stood Still and looked at us with a smile across his face.
“At least we all know who’s going to clean the rooms tomorrow morning.” He said proudly.
I looked at my wrist watch and noticed that it was past midnight.
“You mean today because it’s already past midnight.” I answered.
“Wow, it’s that late.” He whispered softly then sat down.
“Should we hit the bed now?” Leo asked.
“No, not yet.” I answered then looked at everyone.
“Before you do, I want you guys to sincerely tell me what you think of this territory.” I said.
Leo scratched his neck then dropped his hand, tapping on the table with his finger.
“It’s good but the warriors are different from your warriors who were at the cottage with us.” He answered.
“How?” I asked.
“They are hard working of course, but they also try their best to keep away from us.” Ryan answered.
“Also I recently discovered that some warriors wanted to rebel, but Whitney had to put them in line so they hate us. To be honest they hate you and Aurora even more.” Evan said.
I wasn’t surprised with his words because I was expecting most members to hate Ian and me as well as Aurora and Amelia.
“Tomorrow, you two will take over their training.” I instructed.
“Why us?” Ryan exclaimed.
“Because you know how to make someone warm up to you. You guys were once the center of our pack remember?. Your drinking habits and overly social status made you friends with most warriors.” I answered.
“Alpha, that was our pack, this territory is different.” Evan pointed out.
“I know, but I still have faith in you. I am not asking you to drink or go back to your lifestyle no. I’m asking you to find a way of getting closer to all of them. I want them to warm up to Leo and you soon, so whenever you are with them only talk about positive things.” I said.
“We understand.” They answered together after a few minutes of silence.
“Good, now if you will excuse me I have to retire for bed.” I said then got to my feet.
“Rest well Alpha.” Evan said in respect then took a shot.
“You too.” I answered and walked out of the room with Leo following me behind.
“Axel, there is something I wanted to talk to you about.” He said loudly.
I stopped walking and turned to face him.
“What is it?” I asked seriously.
“After everything settles down, I and Whitney would like to take a vacation.” He answered.
“A vacation?” I asked then folded my arms.
“Yes. Don’t get me wrong, we love serving you and looking after the pack since it’s now our home, but we also want to have some alone time to ourselves.” He answered.
I smiled then dropped my hands.
“You can go out for a few weeks Leo once everything is settled. You really shouldn’t be getting my permission for everything. The twins won’t be returning to my pack any time soon because they will be a part of this territory. Whenever you want to go out for a vacation or to run an errand you should be leaving them in charge. I believe and have faith that they would smoothly run this territory till your return.” I answered.
He smiled then extended his hand to me. I looked at it in Wonder then shook it.
“You are truly a good leader.” He whispered after he had pulled out his hand.
“I can say the same to you. For a beta you sure act like an alpha.” I answered as he smiled.
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” He answered.
I glanced behind then back at him. I was planning on telling him the next time we met but now I saw no reason to hold back.
“Whitney is a strong female alpha, born and raised here so she knows everyone here. The fact that she was an Alpha king’s right hand means she’s capable of taking care of things. With you by her side she’s become stronger and powerful. That’s why Ian and I want you to run this territory as your own. Everyone here will be a part of our pack that side, but they won’t be under our rule.” I said as Leo looked around then took a step closer.
“Alpha, what are you saying.” He asked in a soft whisper.
“I am giving you and Whitney this territory to manage. I’ll soon talk to Amelia and I hope you do the same with Whitney. We can’t be running back and forth from territory to territory whenever things arise. And we can’t leave that pack because it’s our home. You and Whitney have already taken this place as your own that’s why I’m now making it official. The two of you will govern this place well and the twins will have your back.” I answered.
He blankly stared at me then seriously gave a bow.
“I won’t ever disappoint you alpha.” He said.
That I knew, that’s why I was even proud to have him lead the territory.
“I know.” I answered when he stood upright.
“Also don’t worry about a thing because it will work out fine, remember I have a beta and delta that side.” I said as he quickly nodded.
“Thank you.” He said in a respectful tone.
“It’s nothing.” I answered then turned to go when I stopped.
“Also, Amelia and I will be leaving soon because we have seen enough.” I said then walked away.
