Bridget Pov:
Training ended early as my mate linked me to come and help with the meeting. The alphas weren't too happy with the things he was suggesting and he needed me to help show them that as allies we needed to do this. I wanted to tell him to screw off but he would probably read into that as he could go screw Marie. I knew that I shouldn't care but if he actually did that beside the betrayal pain my heart would break and I don't know if my wolf could survive that.
Entering the meeting room I could feel the tension and my wolf instantly perked up ready to take over to smooth out the situation like we have to do a lot of the time. At the table one side held the alphas and betas that were visiting on the other was my mate, Kieran, and Marie. Omega Marie sitting beside my mate with a smirk on her face.
‘Let me wipe that smile right off her face. Challenge her to a fight and let everyone watch her shift into her tiny wolf before we kill it.’ My wolf growled ready to come forward and reclaim her spot.
‘No. She isn't the Luna nor will she ever be the Luna. Even if he tried to leave us and take her as his mate no one would respect her with how weak she is. We will not stoop to her level.’ I replied as I eyed the empty spot on Trevor’s other side or the empty spot at the end of the table between beta Kieran and one of the other betas.
“Bridget thank you so much for making it. Please take a seat so we can show the visiting alphas that my idea is to get more allies are the way we should go.” Trevor padded the empty seat beside him.
I walked around the table like I was going to take the seat but kept walking until I passed my beta. “Is anyone sitting here? I really do prefer where I can face everyone when I'm speaking that way there's no miscommunication when making an important decision. As a Luna I want everybody to feel comfortable with any and all decisions so that means communication is one of the most important things along with trust, loyalty, and a little bit of common sense. Am I right?” I gave a big smile at Trevor and then looked over at Marie.
Beta Kieran hid his smile before pulling my seat out for me. “No one is sitting here. I would be honored to sit next to my Luna.”
Trevor took a minute to understand what I was saying after looking at me and then Marie. “Oh, Bridget. You know as an Omega her job is to bring refreshments and snacks to the meeting.”
“We all know that Alpha Trevor. What we want to know is why she stayed and why she had any right to an opinion on an important matter like this? She was brought in before your Luna which makes my wolf very comfortable and disrespected.” One of the Alpha’s said clasping his hands on the table. “Is this how it will always be when we are meeting with you?”
“I was wondering that and wondering why an omega who was supposed to bring drinks only brought you one before sitting down at the table in the Luna’s spot?” The other Alpha asked looking between Marie and Me. “Luna Bridget, I am Alpha Dominic and beside you is my Beta John.”
His brown eyes were the only soft thing about him. He was pure muscle and covered in tattoo’s. His black hair was cut short and tight like someone in the military. He must be from the Foothills pack. They had the best warrior training program on this side of the world.
“Nice to meet you both. I hope all is well at your pack. I would love to see some of your training classes in person. I hear the Foothills pack can take on the best of them and win.” I nodded my head at him in respect.
“A Luna who is interested in training? What a lucky man Trevor is.” The other Alpha said smiling at me. I could feel Trevor and Maries glares on me as he continued. “I am Alpha Robert of the Halfmoon Pack and beside me is my Beta Kasey. We have heard great things about you and this pack.”
Alpha Robert was the opposite of Dominic, he was tall, lean, and nimble. His hair was long and curly but today it up in a man bun showing off his bright green eyes. His pack was known for their war strategy and was better at sneaking up on the enemy to avoid the fight before it began. Still a great trait to have.
“Luna Bridget actually runs several of our training sessions. Actually she was just training some of the ladies but that wasn’t supposed to end for another hour.” Beta Kieran looked at me confused.
I gave him a polite smile and went to answer but Trevor cut me off. “I called her down here to help explain things better. She is much better with words than I am. Its that College education coming for in win, right honey?”
Don’t roll your eyes, Bridget. Don’t roll your eyes or tell him to f**k off. I held back my anger and nodded. We would discuss it later but not in front of other packs. We couldn’t show we were weak.
“Sure, Alpha Trevor. Now let’s get to talking and finish this up.” Alpha Dominic stated shaking his head at Trevor’s s**t tone and attitude.
“After the omega leaves.” Alpha Robert added.
“Why should I have to leave? I helped Alpha Trevor come up with the idea.” Marie whined pouting her lips at Trevor.
“She is right. I needed to work out a few details and she was very helpful. And it would look good to the pack that I don’t hide anything from them.” Trevor added on putting his hand on Maries shoulder.
“Trevor, dear, let’s not make a fuss.” I had to hold back my disgust at how he was coddling this w***e. “The Alpha’s are here because you asked them to be. You asked them for help so we need to respect their wishes. If they leave because you disrespected them then you are out their help. We don’t have many other allies who are close enough to make it to a regular meeting.”
Trevor’s eyes went hard. ‘Do not disrespect me in front of these Alpha’s. You listen and listen good, She stays.’
‘You are disrespecting your Luna in front of them making us look weak and ready to be taken over. You are letting them make plans in their head to march in here and f*****g rip your throat out before taking the pack over. Be a f*****g Alpha and send the slut back to the kitchen.’ I lost it. My wolf surged forward letting her power be known.
“f**k. That is one strong Luna and he parades his latest spank bank omega in front of everyone.” Dominic whistled, not bothering to whisper.
“f**k if she was my Luna she wouldn’t leave the bedroom until she was good and knocked up. After that she wouldn’t leave my sight.” Alpha Robert added on winking at me.
“Marie, go.” Trevor’s voice was cold and distant.
“But, why does she get to stay? She didn’t help with anything!” She got up and stomped her foot.
“Marie! Go!” Trevor yelled his glare moving to her.
Her eyes went wide and she ran out the door slamming it behind her. Trevor’s gaze moved back to us but didn’t change from the cold look he had given her. This was going to be so much fun.
“She’s gone.” He grabbed his folder and tossed down in front of me. “Tell them that what is in this folder is what is best for all of us.”
“Not until I read it.” I grabbed it and started looking through it. I didn’t give him a second look and I could tell he was not doing well with me, not being submissive. It seemed my mind finally decided it had enough of that s**t.
“Fine.” He growled standing up. “While you do that I am going to get us some drinks. What would everyone like?”
‘More like go try to make it up to the slut.’ My wolf growled but only loud enough I could hear. ‘I don’t know how much more I could take of this. We have been mated two years and he started flirting after six months. He keeps pushing and his wolf doesn’t fight him on it anymore.’
The door slammed dragging me out of thoughts. Everyone was staring at me with pity in their eyes. That was the part that sucked. I wasn’t something to be pitied. I never wanted to be in a position like this.
“Luna?” Kieran put his hand on my arm. “Do you need anything?”
I took a deep breath. Time to be a Luna not an emotional mate. “Yes. I need you all to explain what he said to you and a few minutes to read through this.”
“Deal. Kieran could you show us to the dining hall to get some coffee and a snack?” Dominic asked standing up with everyone else following suit.
“Yes, but do one of you mind waiting here with Luna Bridget? Just in case she needs help with the folder or anything else…” Beta Kieran ignored my glare.
“I would love to.” Alpha Robert smiled staying in his seat. “My beta knows how I like my coffee and my sweet tooth.”
