Kate POV
As we finish with the fourth rogue attack, I scowl at the irony of another attack happening when Drake happens to be sitting in our conference room. I realize I may be over-reacting, but I could not help but believe it was a little suspicious all these “coincidences”. And what kind of Alpha would I be if I didn’t question the obvious.
Drake had jumped into the fight. I am confident we would have won but his help was appreciated. The safety of everyone involved in the fight was more important than me making a big deal of him ignoring my directive to stay with Alpha Jackson.
His wolf was a beautiful midnight black with slate-colored eyes. When the fight was over, I had noticed Shelby sniffing for
Thank you for reading Alpha Kate. If you are enjoying the story, be sure to leave a gem. I also welcome any feedback.
Kate POV “He’s coming for you Kate, just you wait, he’s coming for you!” runs through my head as I finish my training with Reid and John, a week later. With the rogue attacks we had increased our training time to two hours a day versus our usual one hour. We wanted to be prepared for any future attacks and that preparation came from training for all scenarios.Drake had returned a couple days after the original interrogation; however, we were unsuccessful in acquiring any new information. It seemed the rogue understood he had said too much and had pulled back significantly. Somehow there was pressure on him coming from somewhere – perhaps his own conscience – it is hard to tell.We had decided to keep him alive for now. With his first night in captivity, we had learned a lot and thought there may
Boyd POV As we pull up to the Golden Moon Pack, I turn to look at my nephew Rafe. His father had decided it was time for Rafe to take more responsibility and start attending business meetings with me. I agreed it was time, but we had argued as to whether he should attend this meeting. We had only signed our alliance with Golden Moon Pack a couple months prior. My idiot nephew had rejected the Alpha’s daughter roughly four months prior to this event. I knew Kate would be attending these meetings and didn’t want to make her or Alpha Jackson uncomfortable with his presence. We had only agreed late last evening Rafe would attend with me and there had been no opportunity to give them a heads up prior to our arrival. As we pulled
“Lily – I need you ASAP. Where are you?” I ask Lily through our mind-link. There is only one person who would understand why I am freaking out right now. Waiting for a couple minutes, she finally replies, “Ugh Katie – I am in training and then I have some work to do at the childcare.” Lily loved pups and couldn’t wait to have pups of her own. For now, she appeased that desire by working toward an Early Childhood degree and volunteering at the childcare in the Pack house. It was set up so that all Pack members would have free childcare, so they could work full-time, if they chose. “I need you to come to my room. We welcomed the Alphas, Alpha Boyd is here, “ Lily interrupts “oh thee Alpha slash Uncle Boyd
Kate POV As I walked toward our large conference meeting room, I could hear some of the Alphas had already arrived. Walking into the room, I looked around taking in who was in attendance so far and nodding as I made my way into the room. I stopped to speak with a couple Alphas making small talk. We had two Alphas who were a little more old school than the other four who were more progressive. The old school Alphas had an opinion that a female should not become the Alpha to a Pack. The other three had been supportive up to this point and I anticipate Alpha Boyd will be equally supportive.My father’s position would be at the head of the table, I would sit immediately to his right. From there the other Alpha’s sit accordingly to when they joined the alliance. Most had their Betas with
Kate POV Everyone started talking at once tossing out questions. Why me? What did they want with me? Did Blue Moon have any more information to share? They were coming at me so quickly I couldn’t keep up. Raising his hand, Alpha Jackson said, “You know what we know gentlemen. This is what we have brought you here for you. Your expertise, your counsel and most importantly your opinion on an alliance with Blue Moon Pack and their allies.”. Alpha Boyd looked down the table at me, as did Rafe with concern flashing on both their faces. Looking away, I didn’t want pity. I wanted action. I wanted people who had some answers that we didn’t have. And most importantly I wanted t
Rafe POV I had managed to get out from under my uncle’s thumb for a few minutes as a call came in which he had to take. I hurried back down the stairs hoping to catch Kate and her friend. I know I had screwed up, but I was used to getting second chances. I was not going to accept no – not until she had gotten to know me a bit better. And then I was confident she would be mine. Looking at her, being around her, and hearing her speak today has just reinforced with me the mistake I made that night. I will not make that mistake again. Regardless of what Alpha Jackson said, I will speak with her again tonight at the dinner. I will ask for some time alone with her and hopefully convince her to give me another chance.&nbs
Kate POVWith my Alpha blood I was able heal the claw marks quickly. They were a little red but nothing that wouldn’t be 100% healed by tomorrow morning. I reflected on Rafe and his instability and wondered what we would do as a punishment. That would have to be for tomorrow to be decided.When Lily arrived, I filled her in on what had happened. Lily hugs me, “Thank Goddess you are alright Katie. Do you still want to do supper tonight? We could order in, instead?”. I appreciate her concern. I was shaken up – mostly because I had not expected Rafe to be so unhinged. I was a strong woman and was able to defend myself, but for a moment I felt like every other woman. Something was happening outside of my control, I fortunately was able to quickly gain control. And I appreciated the help when it arrived. I felt a twinge of guilt thinking I should only rely on myself as I have bee
Kate POVThe meetings passed by quickly in the morning. Much had been decided or discussed over drinks the night before. It was agreed to move forward on a trial basis for the alliance with Blue Moon Pack. They will be offered a one-year agreement, providing nothing happens that warrants removal from the alliance during that first year. This clause applies to all within the alliance and is not uncommon to have this stipulation. Although we would normally enter a longer-term agreement, one year was agreed by all.I only had a chance to briefly speak with Alpha Boyd before the meetings. He was late arriving for breakfast and only had time to grab a coffee before he headed off to the meeting room. I was a little surprised but didn’t think much more of it. We were all busy and had a lot happening at any given time.After we concluded lunch and we saw the last couple - Alpha Drew and his Luna Sarah off, we moved b
