Chapter 121-2

We woke up the next morning and ordered breakfast in our room. We got ready to join the first of many meetings. I made sure we timed it so we would be about five minutes early. I didn’t want Amie to be there longer than needed. The meeting was held in a big auditorium with a small stage at the front with podiums for speakers Most of the alphas and their plus ones had already arrived. As usual, the room was filled with arguments, some merely friendly hater, others almost to the point of turning physical. It was always like this on the first day. I took a deep breath.

“I had hoped I wouldn’t have to come this year,” Elder told us.

“I was thinking of bringing Carol, but then thought better of it,” James said, glancing in my brother’s direction. I got it. His mate had suffered at the hands of my brother, he didn’t want her to be around him. “I’m surprised Amie is here,” he added.
