A Gamma's Revenge by Ylyanah

Chapter 13 Agitated Zalia Finished I am waiting on the front porch for Uncle Joseph and Uncle Richard to arrive. I need to talk to them about Donovan and Gibson, and Slater promised me he would keep the others occupied while I talked to them. The moment I see two SUVs approaching. I know that will get my chance to vent my frustrations and Uncle Joseph and Uncle Richard will give me advice on how the deal with this. Uncle Richard is the first one to get out of the SUV and jump into his arms as he takes a step forward. “Alpha. I believe this Little Spitfire needs some time with her Uncles. Can you handle things inside with Slater?” Uncle Joseph asks and I am glad their Alpha knows me well enough to understand that something is on my mind. I am still in Uncle Richard’s arms as we walk towards a clearing not far from the Pack–house and I sigh in relief when it turns out to be empty. I tell Uncle Richard what happened at the meeting and that I get the feeling they blame me for Luna Hester being pissed off with them. I also tell them what I saw when Slater made the announcement. “Little Spitfire, if you and Twilight saw that, I believe that you did see it. The only thing I can think of as a reason for them to be angry with Slater, is that they wanted him to become their Gamma. However, we all know Alpha Brad and Luna Hester would never allow them to push you aside without a very solid reason. If that is the reason for them to be angry at Slater, than can guarantee you that this Pack will be without Gamma in the near future. Your Father wouldn’t allow you to stay here if they want to refuse you your birth right and he will follow you in a heartbeat, leaving this Pack without a gamma.” Uncle Joseph says. Uncle Richard tells me to keep a close eye on both Donovan and Gibson, to keep a journal for myself on their behavior, and to stay true to myself if I ever feel I can no longer trust them as I once did. a “Even if it means that you have to decline the position of Gamma of Moon Stone Pack, the King might be able to find you somewhere else to go.” He says. “Yeah, to the Palace as Prince Ammon’s baby Sister.” I respond and I have to explain to both of them what I meant with that remark. Both of them are laughing their asses off and I feel a lot better after having talked to both my Uncles. It helped me and Twilight to make up our minds. In the first few days after Slater left, I was too busy adjusting to his abscence to realize that Donovan and Gibson were avoiding me. But once the realization hit me, I took Uncle Richard’s advice and I started to keep a journal. At first it was just writing down how it felt like that they were avoiding me, but soon I started to write down examples of how I noticed it. In front of others they always made up an excuse to leave the room when I entered, but if no one was around, they would just walk past me without acknowledging me. Even at training it was obvious to me that they were avoiding me, but no one else seemed to see it though. Two days before the Full Moon, Alpha Brad got the call we all were waiting for, and thank the Goddess they didn’t get the females pregnant, but both of them till refused to come to Moon Stone Pack for the Full Moon. I hoped that it would change things between the three of us, but apparently it only made it worse and I know Dad has noticed it too, I spend the Full Moon on border patrol. I didn’t feel like celebrating anything and my team had no trouble with joining me. It was an uneventful night and I went back up to the Gamma floor feeling frustrated and even Twilight was done with the whole situation here. 1/3 16:01 Thu, Jan 30 n Chapter 13 Agitated Finished My team and I were on the training grounds when Alpha Brad linked me to get to his office, “Okay, I am needed at the Pack–house, I will let you know what Alpha Brad has to say later.” I say as I walk away from team mynd head towards the Pack–house. I hear excited voices coming from the office as I approach. “Zalia, have a seat.” Alpha Brad says as he is holding an envelope in his hand. “Alpha Chris of Blue Blood Pack is stepping down, and that means there will be a competition for the title of Royal Pack. All eight Packs surrounding Mystic Moon Pack will be competing for the title and you will be leaving in tomorrow morning to Blue Blood Pack. There you will hear what the competition will be and it will be different from any other competition. It never is the same twice, just to make sure no one can cheat.” Alpha Brad says and I know it means that if we win the competition, our current leadership will step down to make sure Moon Stone Pack can keep the title for a few decades. The Pack that holds the title of the Royal Pack are an extension to the King’s Pack, and will have many benefits and obligations with the Royal family. When the Alpha of the Royal Pack steps down it doesn’t mean his heir takes over that title as well, every Pack gets the chance to win the title of Royal Pack during a competition. Our Pack. Moon Stone Pack, could have been the Royal Pack, if Alpha Brad had felt ready to enter the competition back then. But during the last competition, Alpha Brad hadn’t found his Mate yet and his Father didn’t know how long he would still be running Moon Stone Pack, so they decided not to enter the competition. Neither one of them regretted the decision, but Alpha Brad knew there might be a chance his Son could enter the competition before he would take over. Blue Blood Pack is currently the Royal Pack and Alpha Chris is stepping down to look after his Mate who is fatally ill “Alpha Brad is convinced that with the future leadership of Moon Stone Pack, it will be easier to win the competition. I am not sure what to do, and Twilight points out to see how Donovan and Gibson would act when we are at Blue Blood Pack before we make a decision. I think it is the best way to go about it and I ask Alpha Brad if there were any instructions for us, but other than to go to Blue Blood Pack, there was nothing else in the note. Alpha Brad tells us to Pack a bag and to take it easy for the rest of the day. I head up to my room–to pack an overnight bag and after that I go in search of Donovan and Gibson to see if there is something I can help them with, but neither one of them is in their rooh. I head back to the training grounds and inform my team of the competition. Kianda is the first one to notice me enter the training grounds and with her attention shifted towards me. she doesn’t see the punch coming that Nyx throws her way, she s as Nyx connects with her jaw. I chuckle as I see her glaring at Nyx, but she just shrugs her shoulders at Kianda and asks me what Alpha Brad wanted to talk about. “Alpha Chris is stepping down.” I say and I have the full attention of my entire team. Hestia and Gaia walk towards us as I sit down in the grass. We all know what it means when Alpha Chris steps down and they want to know if I have any other information “You will have to wait until we get back from Blue Blood Pack, we are leaving tomorrow morning.” I say. 2/3 16 01 Thu Jan 30 ho 1ED1 Chapter 13 Agitated 167%日 Finished Gaia looks around her to make sure that no one is around, before she asks me the question I already asked Twilight and I tell her what Twilight and I decided to do. “If their attitude doesn’t change while we are at Blue Blood Pack, I will decline the position and that means Moon Stone Pack can’t enter the competition.” I say Dad once told me and Slater about the competitions that were held to get the title of Royal pack and we both had gone to the library to read as much about it as we could find. We really enjoyed reading the rules of the competition and I truly believe that Slater and I are the only ones that know all the rules. A Pack’s leadership can enter, but have to give the title back when they step down. If the future leadership competes and wins the competition, they have to take over from the current leadership. If a leadership is incomplete they can not compete for the title, because at the start of the competition there has to be an Alpha, a Beta and a Gamma. If during the competition, a member of the leadership gets taken out, the remaining members of the leadership continue, until the entire leadership is taken out of the competition. There is also an extra challenge during the competition, winning the extra competition might even result in a leadership getting the title even though they were taken out of the competition completely. That only happened once and was over a hundred years ago. Onyx Moon Pack was one of the first to get their way taken out of the competition. Each Pack had been dropped at a location and they had to make back to the Palace on foot without shifting, but one after the other had given up. The extra challenge that time was finding a certain flower and when no Pack had made it to the finish line, the Packs were asked about the extra challenge. Onyx Moon Pack was the only one that had paid attention to their surroundings and the Gamma had picked the flower from the extra challenge, which earned them the title of Royal Pack. Normally my team would all head home for dinner, but tonight they join me in the dining room and instead of sitting down in my usual seat, I walk to a table near my usual table. Dad and Alpha Brad smile as they see us sitting down and Luna Hester tells the girls teasingly that I am not going away for weeks. “They refuse to say a word to you, Zalia.” Gaia says in my head. “If they keep this attitude up, everyone will start to notice something is wrong.“I know she is right, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon and all hell will break lose for them when Luna Hester puts two and two together. During dinner we talk about what kind of a challenge the competition will be and everyone has an opinion about it, but Donovan and Gibson keep quiet. Dad glances at them from time to time and I can tell that he is getting agitated with them. 728 目 1
