***Jaxson***
Shifting again on the seat, no matter where I sat, I would become restless and start fidgeting. My wolf was just as uneasy, which in return didnt help me. It made me antsier, almost like he felt something would happen, but when I asked him, he didn't answer. It had me feeling on edge,
"Dude, What is wrong? You haven't been able to sit still this whole time,"
"Just a little on edge is all," I Readjust myself as I try to stretch my legs out. I hadn't told him what I picked up on the invitation card; no one knew. Glancing at him, His eyes narrowed as he looked at me,
"What?"
"You are hiding something," He wiggled his finger at me, "Spill it,"
"Im not hiding anything. We dont know what to expect when we get there, "
"Na, that's not it," folding his arms together as he leaned back. I could see the wheels turning in that head of his,
"Wayne, seriously, what else could it be? We haven't had much contact with this pack and just got how many transfer requests. Just dont know what we will come across in there, and I want to be on my toes for anything,"
Nodding, "You think we may come across trouble?"
Shrugging my shoulders, "Truthfully, I dont know. But I want to find out why so many wolves want to transfer out of their pack,"
"Yeah, I agree with you there; it is odd for that many to want to leave. Do you think he mistreats his members?"
"It is hard to say. I would think if one were being mistreated, they would speak out right away about it. I know it happens sometimes. Im not an i***t to think it dont, but I would think the person would tell someone,"
"So you want to dig around to see if anything catches your attention?"
"In a way, Yes, but not so that it is out in the open, but if anything is not right Like the condition of the low-ranking members will tell us right off if anything is not right,"
"Alpha, we have arrived,"
The car pulled off the road onto a gravel lane. There was a huge gate. It was rusty-looking and rather old,
"Does it even open?" Wayne asked as we looked through the windows,
"Hopefully,"
Just then, a guard appeared at the driver's window,
"Name? and Rank?" He asked my driver,
A low growl came from my driver at the lack of respect. Anyone can tell it's higher ranking wolves in this vehicle. Our aura says it all,
"Alpha Jaxson and Beta Wayne,"
"Jaxs, why is he armed?" Wayne leaned closer as he spoke,
Leaning to the side, I followed his line of sight, and sure enough, he was armed,
"Not sure,"
"Go ahead, follow the lane. When you reach the pack house, someone will park your car for you,"
He stepped back, waving his hand, and the gate began to open slowly,
"What a pompous ass," My driver gritted out as he pulled ahead,
Making our way up the lane, I noticed it wasnt as neatly kept as most packs. It was overgrown in a lot of places,
When the pack house came into view, to say I was shocked would be wrong. Nothing was groomed around the house. It was a faded white color and looked to be super old. You could see there was some floor added on, as the upper part looked newer than the bottom half,
This place was dull looking as if no life was in it,
"Maybe the inside is better," Wayne says as we come to a stop,
My door was opened by a young boy no older than ten, maybe,
"Alpha," He greeted me as soon as I stepped out, "Beta," He did the same to Wayne, His head cast down,
"Thank you, young man," Patting his shoulder. He seemed shocked that I was speaking to him Cause he looked up but quickly looked down,
"Could you tell us which way to go to the party?" I asked him. He looked so tense. I wanted to ease his mind,
"Oh, Right through the front door. If you follow the hall to the left, it will lead you to the hall,"
He pointed, and I noticed his hand trembling a bit,
Giving Wayne a side look, He nodded, letting me know he saw it as well,
"Im sorry, but im not so good with direction. Just as my Beta, Would you mind showing us?"
He chuckled as a small smile appeared, "Sure thing, Alpha. Follow me,"
Turning, he started for the house,
"Tanner!" Someone yelled, making the boy jump. His face paled As a male wolf walked in our direction,
"Sir," The boy's voice shook,
"What are you doing?" The male asked as he stopped in front of the now-shaking boy,
"I was showing the ALpha and Beta which way to the hall,"
"That isn't your job. You are to open their doors, period, nothing more, nothing less," He grabbed the boy by the shoulder, He was about to shove him,
Letting out a growl, I grabbed the man's wrist, "I advise you to take your hand off the young boy,"
The man's eyes widen, but then they drop to the ground as he bares his neck in submission,
"Im sorry, Alpha. The boy can be a handful,"
"There is no reason to lay harm on a child, now let go of him or lose your hand,"
He let go of the boy as Wayne pulled him to the side,
"I, I Let him go, Alpha," He stuttered, "Please, can you?"
Letting him go, He quickly rubbed his wrist,
"Now I will have this young man show me the way; if you have an issue with that, you can take it up with me, or better yet, have your Alpha come speak with me,"
I did not wait for him to say anything. I spun around, looking down,
"Care to lead the way?"
His big brown eyes looked up at me. He waved for us to follow him. "This way," he began towards the house once again,
"Nigal, stay alert," I linked my driver,
"Yes, Alpha,"
"Watch on this tanner boy when he comes back out if that man lays a finger on him,"
"I'll link you right away,"
"Good,"
The inside wasnt in much better shape. It was clean, I will say that, but it lacked life. The walls were faded, and the paint was peeling. It had very old decorations, nothing was modern looking,
"This place could use so much help," Wayne says as he looks around, "But it is clean,"
"Ms Rose does all the cleaning mostly,"
"Ms Rose? Is she like the head Omega?"
He shook his head, "Oh no, She lives with the Alpha on the top floor,"
"Is she their personal maid?"
I know that sometimes Alpha And Lunas prefer to have one maid for their private chambers,
"I guess you could say that, but she also works around the pack house, as well,"
Frowning, I looked at Wayne,
Normally the personal maids do not work the whole pack house, That would be a lot of work for one person,
"Are there others that help Ms Rose,"
He shrugged his shoulders,
"Sometimes, the other omega help, But it is mostly her who does it,"
He stopped in front of the door that was held open,
"Here we are, Alpha, Beta,"
Looking in, there were people everywhere. It was full. They had invited a lot of other packs,
"Thank you, Tanner. Why dont you go back out front? My driver Nigel is waiting for you. He will keep you company while you do your work,"
The smile that broke out on the boy's face said it all,
"Thank you, Alpha,"
He took off running back down the hall,
Looking back at the sea of people. Stepping into the hall, I scanned the room. On one side, there was a mall stage set up. In front was an older-looking gentleman, who I knew was Alpha Ronnie, and next to him was a younger version of the Alpha, who I assumed was his son. I recognized Alpha Marcus and his Luna, along with their only daughter Morgan,
I began to head that way. Wayne was right next to me. I did not have my Beta walk behind me. He was my right-hand person, and that is where he is to be,
Coming to stand in front of the stage,
"Alpha Jaxson, Im glad to see you made it," He held out his hand,
"Alpha Ronnie, " I shook his hand, "This is my Beta, Wayne,"
"Alpha," Wayne shakes his hand as well,
"Welcome. This here is my oldest boy and the one im handing over the title to this evening, Harrison,"
Shaking his hand, His grip was weak,
"Alpha Jaxson, its a pleasure,"
Nodding at him, When the male from earlier appeared next to the Alpha, He was whispering in his ear but then stepped back,
"Here we go," Wayne links me; I only smiled, knowing very well this could get ugly,
