Unfortunately, our laughing and giggling came short as we pulled up to the restaurant. Like everything in the capital, the restaurant was high class. Which is why uncle Dev picked out my moms formal outfit. Once we pulled up to the entrance, both Michael and I adapted a formality. I waited for him to get out come around and open my door. Once his hand emerged into my view, I grabbed it sliding out of the car. Smiling softly, I nodded towards the restaurant, and as we walked past the valet, Michael handed him the keys.
Once inside the restaurant, it took no time for the host to escort us to a table. To my surprise, alpha Greymore was in attendance. I smiled softly at him as I took in the other alphas around him. Most of the alphas present were ones relatively close to my little pack. Uncle Dev must’ve set up a meeting for a little bit more politics , so that I could establish a better relationship. Most of these alphas only accepted me because Greymore did. I needed the opportunity to show them that I can be an alpha too.
Michael pulls out my chair so I can sit down. And takes a seat next to me.
Ha, you finally made it sweetie. Uncle Dev sweet voice hums across the table.
Of course, I couldn’t deny such a wonderful request. I smiled sweetly as I scan the table, making eye contact with every alpha present.
I do apologize that I am a tad bit late, did I miss anything interesting.
Alpha Ralph was the first one to speak up, smiling at me. We were just discussing about the regiment of each of our packs fighting. Alpha Graymore here is out did all of us with his required sessions for his Warriors.
I giggle softly, of course, he has the toughest regiment. I would expect nothing less from such a worthy opponent.
He beams slightly at my comment, I’m sure your regimens are just as hard-core. Considering how easily you matched me and took me out.
I wouldn’t say hard-core for my warriors. They get the right amount of training. Where they don’t go soft but they aren’t taken from their other duties. However, seeing as I am the alpha, I hold myself to a higher standard on regimens. Which is probably why I could match you.
Ralph scratches the back of his neck and comments how he should be a little bit more fighting oriented. Our conversation was slightly interrupted when our waitress came to take our orders. Once our orders were in the conversation strayed to simple things. Like our day-to-day expectations. Things that our pack is excelling in . And they even asked me if my pack was missing anything.
Actually, we could use a pack doctor. Unfortunately, we lost our pack doctor to the fire. None of you would know one would you?
To my surprise, uncle Dev chirped up. You’ll have our park doctor once we merge. I figured after our dinner here that I would head back with you and Michael to your pack. Giving me an opportunity to see the space in the layout. And the best way we can merge.
I’m nod at this suggestion, smiling. I was glad that things are working out finally for my little pack. My little pack that’s not so little anymore. I had forgotten that I had merged with another pack. Another pack means more people, more warriors, and more resources.
Once that was settled, and our food was placed in front of us, there was a little time for a conversation as we ate. It was small conversations of how our food was as well as how we enjoyed the festivities. As the last of us finished our food, laying back in satisfaction of a full tummy conversation started up again. I wasn’t paying attention for a while, until my ears tuned in on the mention of war. I zoned in on Ralph talking to greymore quickly after I heard the word war. It seems that there are some rumors that a pack of rogues has begun to expand his territory. Claiming he’s the rightful king of all werewolves, and taking down packs, spreading closer and closer to our little home.
There was prickles of concern in Ralph’s voice, as he expressed again that his warriors were not prepared Should they need to fight. I could understand his concern because his pack was small and one of the weakest.
Ralph? Why don’t you and your pack come stay with mine for a while. They could go through my training regiment. And if the rouge “King” does happen to come closer to our territories. We will have the combine strength of both of us. Your territory connects to mine. I would need to help defend you anyways.
He smiles brightly at my suggestion, and readily agrees, he said he would get back in contact with me shortly about how we would want to go about it. He wanted me to settle in with my full pack before burdening me with more. I agreed that was probably best and promised that we would connect within the next week. He was satisfied with that answer, and I was satisfied with the idea of strengthening our bond together. His pack might be weak, but his territory was rich in soil. It be great for planting, and maybe he might merge into mine. In the end, it would be a bonus for both of us.
As the scraping of plates indicted that most of us had finished our meal, the atmosphere seemed to have a satisfied hum. My eyes wondered out the window, it had grown rather dark as we had been talking.
It is time to retire my alpha? The prickle of Micheal’s mind link connected in my head. I tear my gaze away from the window and meet his.
Yes I grow tired, and we must get up early to return home. I answer him as I slowly rise from my seat.
Well gentleman, it has been a lovely evening. Unfortunately, I must retire to get some sleep. Regrettably I have a long drive tomorrow home. And much more items of my list when I get there.
They all nod in my direction, we say our goodbyes. Uncle Dev of course excuses himself as well, since he will be returning with Micheal and I. As we are waiting on the car our front Micheal makes sure Dev is aware when we plan to leave so he can meet us. Once the car is in view, I smile softly, and slide into the back seat as the day’s activities begin to weigh on me. Thankful, I seem to have blinked and we returned to our room. I undress quickly with and crawl into bed. Sleep takes me quickly, and I am lost in the shadows of my eyelids.
I’m not aware of how much time passed, but it seems like a short amount before I hear the husky voice of Micheal trying to wake me.
Alpha, come on now, we are home.
My ears prickle at the word home, what does he mean home?
Zamora? Wake please. the worry was prickled in Dot’s voice as I felt her try to stir me. I moaned as I tried to open my eyes. I retreated from a cold substance on my forehead, and a small gasp comes from Dot.
Micheal she is burning up, goodness we need a doctor.
I hear a grunt and I feel my body being shifted up into someone’s arms. After a moment of getting settled, I smell the sent of Micheal and then darkness falls again on my mind…
