Chapter 6
“My apologies alpha Jason…” he began
“Where’s alpha Black? He’s never one to hold up a meeting” interrupted alpha, Jason.
Sighing loudly, alpha Jones sits back in his chair.
“Yes alpha Jason, you did in fact miss quite the spectacle.” Said alpha, Leah.
Raising a brow, “and just what happened to have caused such tension in this room? And what does it have with alpha Black being missing?”
“Well, it seems someone wanted to recreate a scene from my life…with alpha Black’s daughter.”
“That’s not what this is about!” Says alpha Trent
“You’re right! So we should just let him be the judge of the matter then, play the video for him, your son is the one who recorded it, so it shouldn’t be an issue to play it one more time“ she says nonchalantly,
Looking to alpha Jones, “well let’s see this video. I don’t enjoy being the only one in the dark about this situation.” Said alpha Jason.
Alpha Jason’s POV
As I watch the video play out. I don’t know if I should be thankful I wasn’t present or congratulate alpha Black’s daughter on how she handled herself.
“So that’s Sapphire Black” I link my beta.
“She’s strong…. And beautiful” he linked back
Alpha Black did a great job raising and training her, I think to myself. I’ve never met her, but I’m aware of the respect she garners from the neighboring packs, both allies, and enemies.
“So because of the disrespect alpha Black…”
“Oh, it wasn’t alpha Black that caused that damage.” Interrupted alpha Leah. “Sapphire was out for blood after what they tried to do to her. Mate or not he had to pay.”
With a brow raised, “so it was Sapphire and Andre that caused the damage downstairs?”
“Yes,” she answered, “she beat the shit out of him and rejected him on the spot”
“Hahaha, I really missed a lot this time, I’ll be sure to arrive early next time.” I laugh out loud.
“My apologies alpha Jason, had I known you would be here I wouldn’t have taken so much time.” Says alpha Black as he walks in. “I needed to release some of my pent-up anger or you would’ve been walking past body bags tonight.”
Sighing and rubbing his hands through his hair alpha Black addresses the other alphas. “We need to come to an agreeable solution concerning this situation.”
“I’ll agree to whatever you decide to do,” says alpha Mike as he makes a fist. “Words can’t express how regretful I am about this situation. My son has disgraced himself, his title, and his family, death is too easy of a punishment for what he tried to do to your daughter.”
“So we all understand that their actions are punishable by death?” I ask,
Closing his eyes and lowering his head, “Yes” says alpha Mike.
“What about the others?” I say facing the other alphas
“We understand,” they say in unison looking down
Nodding in satisfaction I lean back in my seat
Sighing alpha Black leans forward on the table with his hands intertwined, “Good because I’m not sentencing them to death.”
Everyone looked over in shock.
Smirking I ask, “May I ask why not alpha? Don’t you think your mercy might backfire in the future?”
“This is not MY mercy, it’s Sapphire’s. I would’ve killed them on the spot, but my daughter and future leader of my pack has already decided before coming here, that if anyone had the balls to try and attack her here, she wouldn’t take the easy route and kill them.
She believes that the most appropriate punishment would be to have them swear full and complete undying allegiance to us and our pack for no less than 10 years. If we are in need you will make provisions no questions asked. You will swear your allegiance before your pack. If at any time you attempt to break your allegiance or conspire to make any moves that can be deemed as a possible threat to us or the least of our pack members, then you will be given the most painful death known to our kind. Sigh, of course, if you choose to refuse this punishment then, we will take them as our prisoners to live out their time in our dungeons for their crimes.”
“Impressive” Ron links me
“Extremely” I respond back
“If there are no issues I’d like to hear your answers now” continued alpha Black.
Alpha Mike was the first to answer.
Standing and baring his neck in respect, We’ll swear loyalty, we have no issues with the punishment.”
Next was alpha Trent, “We’ll also swear allegiance, I’m not happy about this but I don’t have another son to take over so I’m thankful to not have to bury him,” he says bearing his neck in respect.
“Alpha Black, surely…” alpha Lewis starts but is cut off by alpha Black
“Alpha Lewis the only thing I want to hear is Yes or No”
Sighing and bawling his fists, “Yes, we’ll swear allegiance and bear the punishment.” says alpha Lewis
“Alpha Reece?” Asks alpha Black
Bawling his fists and glaring at alpha Black, “we’ll swear allegiance but that bastard nephew of mine has shamed me for the last time. We’ll adhere to the punishment, but after it is announced he will be stripped of his title and sent to your pack to serve his time.” It was no secret that alpha Trent hated his nephew who was the true heir to the pack.
Nodding and turning to alpha Jones, “That’s all for me then”, alpha Black concludes.
Nodding alpha Jones stands, “Alphas let’s call it a night, have something to eat, and get some rest. We can start fresh in the morning and finish off our discussions with clear heads,” and then left.
As everyone else begin to exit, alpha Black gives a nod, “I’ll retire for the night…” but I cut him off, “Alpha Black I have a few things to discuss with you regarding a possible alliance between our packs.”
Sitting back down, "you have my attention"
"Give me your daughter" I say seriously
