“Oh, perfect timing,” he said.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Wyatt asked.
“I was coming up to get you for the meeting,”
“What? The meeting isn’t until noon,”
“Well, Ash and Eric want it now,”
“f**k,” Wyatt grunted. “I’m sorry, love, but we have to postpone breakfast,”
“That’s okay, I’m still full from last night,”
“Kendrick and I need to go to this meeting, so I want you to go back to the room and wait for me. Do not let anyone come in, I don’t trust anyone this house right now,”
“Okay,” he kissed my cheek again making me freeze and then walked away with Kendrick. I stared into blank space for a minute before I shook my head and went back to the room. ***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
Kendrick and I made our way down to the conference room with all of the other Alphas and Betas. The door was still ajar, and we entered the room,
“Ah, Alpha Wyatt how kind of you to finally join us,” Eric said.
“There better be a good reason for you moving up the meeting,” I sneered at him.
“Well, I’m sure you would like to get back home, and so does everyone else, so why not?” he had a point. I didn’t want to have to stay here any longer than I had to. “Alpha Wyatt, where is the Luna?” Alpha Richard of the Golden Moon pack asked me.
“She’s resting in our room, her body is still healing from the events of the last couple of days,” after I said this, I heard a growl come from Ash. I just smirked.
“Shall we get started?” Alpha Xavier of the Midnight Moon pack asked. Kendrick and I took our seat and the meeting got underway. This was going to be a long few hours.
***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
After two hours, in this damn meeting of whether not packs were going to renew their peace contracts or not, it was currently half and half in the room. Half the packs wanted to keep it neutral, while the other half wanted nothing to do with the Halfmoon pack. “Alpha Wyatt? What say you?” Elder Scott asked.
“Nay,” I respond in one word. The room fell quiet and dark. Even though six other packs rescinded their contracts, losing me would be a huge blow to the Halfmoon pack, and they knew it. “I refuse to be neutral let alone become allies with a pack as cruel and demented as this one,” I explain. “Does this have to do with your mate?” Elder Scott asked.
“Part of it does yes, but personally, I’ve wanted out of this treaty with Halfmoon since I took over as Alpha. I would never associate myself or my pack with a pack of murders and abusers,” everyone gasped at my words, and Eric’s eyes turned black. “Alpha Wyatt, everyone in this room knows that what happened to the Silver Lake pack was done legally,” Alpha Richard said. “As heinous as it was, it was still legal,”
“I’m not questioning the legality of it, Alpha Richard,” I snarled. “Legal or not, Eric didn’t have to kill the entire pack. He could have released them and let them live as loners, or as non-violent rogues so they could at least have a life, but no, he didn’t, he slaughtered them all,” I looked at back Eric who was seething in anger, and Ash, was just sitting there not saying anything. He was such a weak Alpha. “And not only did he do that, but he kidnapped the Alpha’s daughter and forced her into slavery at the age of ten, made her cook, clean, abused her, starved her, made her sleep in a shoe closet under the stairs, and made her clean herself in the pond out back behind this sorry excuse of a packhouse,”
“Alpha’s daughter?” Alpha Xavier asked. The entire table started to mumble in confusion.
“Oh, did he not mention this to you all? Rylee, my mate, she is the lost daughter of Alpha Mitchell Duquesne,” the room burst into gasps of horror and surprise. “Eric is true!?” Richard asked.
“I don’t know what’s talking about! Rylee was born here, her parents died in a rogue attack,” Eric stuttered.
“And Rylee is not your mate!” Ash shouted standing to his feet. “She is my mate! I have already claimed her!”
“You can’t claim something that has been rejected,” I tell him. His eyes turned black and so did mine. He was never going to give her up. He only wanted her for her Alpha blood. “You’re just like your father Ash. You only care about money and power. You rejected Rylee because you thought she was an orphaned Omega, but then you found out she was an Alpha’s daughter, and now you’re trying to stake your claim,” I stood to my feet and walked towards him. He was a lot shorter than me, so I towered over him. “Rylee has already accepted the rejection, and she has accepted me as her mate, your impotent attempts to claim her are just a waste of time and energy,”
“I see no reason for Wyatt to lie about these claims,” Xavier said.
“I too believe he is telling the truth,” Richard stated.
“Elder Scott, I would like to retract my vote on remaining neutral with Halfmoon,” Alpha Ramsey of the Black Moon pack stated.
“As would I,” Alpha Maximus of the Crescent Moon pack announced.
“Gentlemen, please be reasonable,” Elder Scott pleaded. Out of the dozen pack leaders, eight have now entered a rivalry with Halfmoon, which meant, they could easily challenge Ash for his title if they ever wanted to.
“Elder Scott,” Richard stood to his feet. “I suggest you decide on when you plan on retiring,”
“I beg your pardon,”
“When I return home, I will call a meeting with the other Elders and see what will be done about you having turned a blind eye to such heinous crimes,”
“If this meeting is adjourned, I will take my leave first,” I tell the room. “Let’s go, Kendrick,” we both leave the conference room and head towards the stairs. “Pack your things and get the car ready. I want to be out of here in fifteen minutes,”
“You got it,” Kendrick ran up the stairs first. I took a deep breath and went up myself. When I got the fourth floor, I could hear a group of girls snickering and some shouting along with it. I peaked around and saw a group of girls right outside my guestroom. “COME ON RYAN! WE KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” shouted an all too familiar high pitched voice as she banged on the door. “OPEN THE f*g DOOR!”
“GO AWAY EMMA!!” I heard Rylee shout.
“YOU b***h! OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE I BREAK IT DOWN! YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED UP HERE!”
“f**k OFF MOUSE!” Rylee shouted.
“Break it down!” Emma shouted. Three of the other girls kicked the door but it didn’t budge. They kicked it again, but nothing. “I said break it down!” “We’re trying!”
“Get away from there!” I shouted at them and growled. The girls gasped and immediately bowed their heads, but not Emma. “Wyatt,” Emma said.
“That’s Alpha Wyatt to you!” I growled. I grabbed her by the throat and lifted her in the air. “I warned you to stay away from Rylee, but you didn’t listen, and now you’re going to reap the consequences,” my eyes turned black and my canines protruded out. “Rylee, my love, I will be right back,” I said to the door knowing she could hear me. I dragged Emma back down to the conference room where I figured everyone still remained. I kicked open the door,
“Alpha Wyatt, what is the meaning of this?” Richard asked. “What…” he paused when he saw that I had Emma by the throat.
