The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 403 - 403: Mate bonds we don't talk about...

I stared at Ramsey on the large screen, seeing him without really seeing him.

In the room, five Alpha representatives from the Major Werewolf Packs allied with us, as well as representatives from the smaller packs that had come the previous week to solicit funds and a host of other things, were talking to Ramsey.

We've held meetings that I'd briefed Ramsey about, but until now, we still haven't reached a compromise. The Alphas were insisting that the budget allocation I had suggested was too small, so it was now up to them to convince Ramsey before we followed through with the final approval protocols.

The conference call had been going on for nearly two hours, and my patience was wearing thin as we discussed details of resource distribution.

"The medical supplies allocation for the Northern Ridge Pack seems excessive," Alpha Morrison was saying, his face creased with concern. "Thirty thousand dollars for basic first aid materials when our entire food budget is only twenty-five thousand?"

"With respect, Alpha Morrison," one of the smaller pack's Alphas replied, pulling up the detailed spreadsheet on the monitors embedded on the conference table, "the Northern Ridge Pack took heavy casualties during the final battles. They have seventeen pack members still recovering from severe injuries, including three who require healing treatments from witches themselves, and these treatments cost more than anything."

Alpha Chen from the Mountain View Pack, another smaller pack, leaned forward into her camera. "What about the infrastructure requests? The Pine Valley Pack is asking for two hundred thousand dollars to rebuild their pack house, but the Riverside Pack only requested fifty thousand for similar reconstruction."

I glanced over at Caius, who was sitting at the side table, taking detailed notes of every concern raised. He looked up and caught my eye, nodding to indicate he was tracking all the questions for follow-up research.
