CAMRON: I let Alpha Drake lead me to the pack house where he tells one of the omegas to fetch some ice for me. “I feel a bit stupid” I admit to him. (I am not afraid to admit shit in front of him, I am not one of those vain Alphas that won’t admit when he’s wrong for fear of appearing weak.) “Why is that?” he asks, “Well not knowing she was your daughter, for one, and letting her take me by surprise for two.” I kind of chuckled at him. “Sorry for that.” He apologizes to me, nodding towards my eye. “Why were you talking to her in the first place?” he asks. “When we were talking and setting the date for our meeting, I caught her scent, I didn’t know who it was so I went in search of whoever it might have been that was eavesdropping on our conversation.” I tell him, “I should not have just picked her up and startled her the way I did, so in a way I guess I deserve what I got from her, but I was not expecting it.” Again, I chuckled. I was watching his face as I spoke. He did not seem happy to hear that she had overheard us. “What excuse did she give for eavesdropping?” he asks. “She said that she wasn’t, that she had just went to give food to the warriors that accompanied you and she was on her way back when she heard your voice, and not wanting to get scolded for no reason again, she stayed quiet and still.” I told him what she said to me. Again, I watched his face. He seemed to be a bit perplexed but did not comment on it. After observing Alpha Drake I decided to link the men that accompanied me.
“Chase was there someone there just a bit ago.” “Yeah boss, a female pup about 15 years old.” He links back. “How did the men react to her?” I asked him. “Nothing special, maybe a bit dismissive” he answers back. “Thanks” I cut the link. “Problems?” asked Drake “No, just the guys wondering about getting something to eat.” I tell him. “Oh, have them come to the back of the pack house there are tables set up for them.” He says. I link Chase back. “Have all the guys, not just you, but all the escorts come to the back of the pack house to get food.” “Ok I will let them know boss.” I close the link. “Thanks Drake, I’m good now, Cereus will heal the rest.” “Again, I am sorry about Keska, are we still on for next week?” he asked almost pleading. “Yes.” I answered him, I put the ice and towel down and walked out to the grounds where they were still dancing.
KESKA: “May I have this dance?” I hear from behind me. Turning I find Alpha Camron. “Umm…” “Come, dance with me, let me show you that there are no hard feelings.” I take the hand that he has held out to me. We move on to the dance area. He takes me in his arms, and right away I feel safe, protected almost, it was strange. As he held my hand in his I felt his thumb rub over the scar I have. “What is this from?” he asked. “I and my best friend made a blood promise to each other, when we were kids.” I tell him, not looking him in the eye. “You can look at me.” He tells me. “I do not wish to be rude, nor do I want your wolf to feel challenged, I am after all alpha blooded remember?” I say. “I promise Cereus won’t feel threatened by you, but if it helps, I will let him tell you.” Before I can say anything, I hear a deeper gravely baritone “Young pup, look up.” The Alpha’s hand comes up to my chin and tilts my head up, so I am looking him, right in the eye. “I know you are alpha blood, but you are young, I do not take offence to you, there is no challenge from you.” I heard his wolf say. “Thank you, Cereus, it is nice to meet you.” I say to his wolf. “My pleasure.” I then watch as Camron’s eyes return to their warm chocolate brown with gold flex, he is a very handsome Alpha with his sandy brown hair, almost the color of wet sand when you’re digging at the beach to make a sandcastle. It has a soft wave to it, a strong square jaw line, and a straight nose.
CAMRON: I wonder how many “friends” Keska has made blood promises with and does her father know? and does she know what exactly she has done? But before I can ask her, it’s as if she read my mind. “Don’t worry Alpha I am not stealing the pack, just my best friend, and yes, we both know what we did, and we would do it again. She is my Gamma, not my father’s nor my brother’s, but mine.” She tells me. “It almost sounds like you are going for a pack of your own.” I say with a chuckle. “You never know, I just might.” She says with a straight face. Cereus lets me know that someone is not happy that I am dancing with Keska. “Is it Adrian?” “NO, it is her sister.” As we were dancing, I turned us to find Jessie staring hard at Keska and me. I also see that Adrian has his mate on the dance floor, keeping an eye on his cousin. “It seems we are the center of attention.” I tell her. “I doubt that the only one that would care is Adrian, and that is to protect my honor, but I think he knows you are not the type that would try to take advantage, more to the point of making sure that my family does not make a scene.” She says. The music ends and she inclines her head to me. “Thank you for the dance, alpha Camron, and thank you Cereus.” She says to both of us. I let Cereus answer for us. “Our pleasure.” He smiles at her. She just turns and walks away from us. “Someone is going to very lucky to have her.” I say to Cereus. “Yes.” Is all I get from him before Jessie comes up to us. Cereus gives a slight growl, “stop, we need to play nice.” I tell him.
KESKA: As I walk away from alpha Camron, I happen to catch Jessie walking up to him out of the corner of my eye. I wonder if he has his mate yet, not that it would be me, but I just hope it’s not Jessie, he’s too nice for Jessie, although it might be good for her if she got someone like him, it would teach her she can’t always get everything handed to her on a silver platter like mom and father do. I headed back to the pack house to help with more of the cleanup. I like to keep busy, and that way I am also “NOT GETTING INTO TROUBLE” as father would put it. Plus, I know we will be leaving in about an hour, as it is getting late. I get to the kitchen and jump right in, retrieving the dirty dishes, glasses, and tableware from the tables as the guest just put things down hap hazard and getting them to the kitchen to be washed and I then start to put things away.
