Chapter 117

Lexi

After testing out almost all the furniture in Ryan’s office we were starving and exhausted. As luck would have it, it was almost dinner time. Being wolves we bounced back quickly. I can’t say the same for some of the furniture. Some of the things in the office will need to be replaced. The coffee table, one end table, a book shelf and one chair to be exact. Luther said it was good to know what not to add to the offices at the packhouse. That made me and Ryan laugh.

I am in a silly mood going down the stairs so I lock my hands in Ryan and Luther’s elbows just before going into the dining area. We got a few looks but mainly members shaking their heads and smiling at us. I was scanning the room looking for the one person I needed to talk to. I find him sitting in the area Luther, Ryan and I usually sit. Kent, my father-in-law. I will talk to him in a minute. There is something else that has caught my attention. “ Is it just me or are there more families here today and more kids?” I asked Ryan and Luther through our link. I just sat in my chair when Ryan answered back. “ No, you are right. There are more.” Kent laughs from beside us. I turn to look at him. Kent smiles at me “ What you did today with the kids.” Kent said waving his hands around. “ And what you did with the staff earlier. More of our members decided to join us.” he said.

I don’t get it but I’m not going to question it. I’m just thrilled more people are joining us. While Luther and Ryan get our plates I leaned over to ask Kent something. “ Kent, after dinner could you meet me in Ryan’s office?” I asked. “ Of course. Is there a problem?” he asked. “ I’m not sure of somethings and that is the problem. Do you have a budget set aside for the Luna so she can take care of the house staff?” I asked. “ Yes, we do. From your question, you haven’t seen it yet.” he said. I shook my head just as Luther placed an over flowing in front of me. They know I can’t eat all they give me. Even after shifting they still eat twice as much as me. Don’t get me wrong my appiutite has gotten bigger but still nothing compared to those two. Even Kent eats more than me. Yet, they still insist on fixing my plate most of the time.

“ Then we will remedy that as soon as we are done with dinner.” Kent said. “ And you will help me go through it?” I asked. Not that I needed to ask. Other than Skyline, everyone has been extremely helpful as I learned the ropes. “ Of course. I will answer any questions I can.” Kent said. That was good enough for me so I focus on eating and catching up with everyone. This is one of my favorite times of day no matter what packhouse I am at. I’m close to being finished eating what I could of what Luther gave me when the head gardner comes over. “ My Luna.” he bows. “ Hello.” I said. “ Is this a bad time? I have the papers you asked for.” he said. “ Oh, wonderful.” I said and held out my hand. He places a small stack of papers in my hand and instantly I know it is more than just the gardners budget.

I flips through the first few pages and see I was right. I look up but before I can question he says “ I took the liberty of gathering all the ones that were ready so we didn’t repeatedly disturb you.” I smiled “ You are my pack you can never disturb me. Especially since it was something I asked for. But thank you for be so considerate.” I said. The way he smiled you would have thought I told him he had a year of paid vacation. The kitchen staff starts gathering plates. “ Do you need any help before we head up to the office?” I asked Tina who was collecting our plates. “ Thank you but no. We have it. Go to your meeting. I’ll send some drinks up shortly.” she said.

“ Oh yes. That would be lovely. Could I have some of your special hot cocoa tonight, please?” I ask holding my hands together and giving her my best puppy eyes. Tina laughs at my antics because I am definitely going overboard but she makes awesome hot cocoa. “ Yes, Luna. I will bring you some hot cocoa. Alpha’s would like some?” she asks. Ryan and kent turn her down but Luther takes her up on the offer. “ Tina take it up to the Luna office please.” Ryan said. He looked over at Tyler “Could you sent a gamma or two to my office for some light clean up?” Ryan asked. “ Sure. What happened?”” Tyler asks. I look down at the table like it is the coolest thing in the world.

Luther chuckles “ Just a furniture mishap.” Ryan coughhs to cover up a laugh and I can feel my cheeks turn bright red. Talking openly about sex is normal for wolves. I’m still getting used to it. “ On that note, we will be in the Luna office if anyone needs us.” Kent said holding his hand out to me. I took it and stood up quickly to follow him making sure I had the papers I was given. Luther and Ryan took up the rear. “ Dad will take Lexi to the office? I have to grab the paper she had earlier and the Luna budget.” Ryan asked. Kent nods “ Sure son.” When we get to the Alpha floor Kent walks me passed Ryans door to two doors down.

I have been past this door many times but never thought about what was behind it. Kent opens the door for me. “ This is supposed to be your office. I don’t know why we haven’t shown it to you before now?” he said. “ We have all been busy. Besides I don’t mind sharing with Ryan.” I giggled. I have never been in here before and I have to say I am not impressed. The room is solid white with gold accents every where. Even the furniture was white with the same accents. The couches looked like they were made of leather. Same with the high back cushioned chair behind the desk. In front of the white desk was a white fur rug.

On the white walls was paintings framed with thick wood painted gold. One one wall was a white table with a gold tray on it. On the tray was crystal glasses and decanters with different alcohols in them. If Skyline was going for elegance she failed miserably. The room screams trying too hard and tacky. I shake my head at it. I will deal with this shit later. “ Damn, my eyes.” Luther called out from behind me. He isn’t kidding. “ I look over at them and see Ryan looking around. “ How did I not know how awful this room is?” Ryan asked looking around.

“ Lexi, you know can change anything or everything inn the room, right?” Kent said. “ I will deal with the room later. We have more important things to deal with than this eye sore.” I said. Instead of sitting at the desk I sit on one of the couches. I place the new budgets on one side of the glass coffee table. “ Ryan could I have those other papers please?” I asked. He handed them to me and I flipped through them to separate them out. Then I placed them in two stacks. The Luna budget and the budgets I was given by the staff. I explained each pile to Kent,Ryan and Luther. Luther picks up the current budget “ This is what had you frustrated earlier?” I nod. “ Look, something about it is bothering me. I don't want to make any assumptions and step on anyone’s toes, but my gut is telling me something isn’t right. But I could be wrong and this is normal. I need your help to help me sort all of this out.” I said.

And that is what we spent the next two hours doing. I was right. The budgets were bullshit. Skyline was skimping on everything to give herself more money to spend. And to me she had plenty. If she couldn’t be happy with her Luna allowance that she had to basically steal what the fuck was she buying. She got five thousand a month just for just for herself. Ryan, Luther and Kent helped me set up the new budgets and add some extra to them. I had the Luna budget dropped to two thousand a month. I want one thousand but none of them were having it.I let it go. Ryan was going to get Skyline off all the paperwork and she was not allowed access to it unless she went through Kent. And soon she wouldn’t even be able to do that once her trail was over and Kent rejected her as his mate. If she made it out alive from the trial sshe would be on her own from then on. She hurt so many people with her selfish was I don’t feel sorry for her.
