The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 53

***Rowen**

All day Thursday I was worried about Chastity. It had taken all I had not to drive to Dark Moon Wednesday night, but I wasn’t able to get a visitors pass to be at the school so late in the day, and unfortunately I couldn’t go Thursday either. I had tried texting and calling her most of day She didn’t finally answer until that evening. She was with Lexi, and Norm when I did get her

At their coaxing she had told me about her session with Dee Dee To hear the things she said shattered my heart. It was only made worse by the fact that I couldn’t be there to hold her as she was falling apart. Her telling me she had to be talked out of rejecting me gutted me, but a part of me wasn’t surprised by her thoughts. I was thankful that she was talked out of it. I would have to figure out ways to show her we were right for each other.

Unfortunately I wasn’t going to be able to do that this weekend I had to go to another pack for the weekend with my dad, Dimitri, and Jax for the renewal of all trade agreements, and our alliance. It was a smaller pack who relied more heavily on trade for it’s survival, as well as protection. It was also was one of the packs I hadn’t visited during my Alpha tour, and I didn’t know much about it

As it was 6 hours away from Moonlight pack the trade agreements were what were the most important. We were too far from them to be much help in the event of an attack, but goods were a different matter. One of the things dad, and I had noticed is that in the last year the goods they were trading to us were dwindling while the goods we were trading to them were rising. We needed to figure out why, and what we could do to help them with production of those goods. We didn’t really need what they were sending us, but they needed the income from what they sent us. They were hurting themselves by sending less, and we were determined to help them fix whatever was wrong.

I became worried when I saw the state of the pack upon arrival. It looked a bit run down, and there were very few wolves on patrol when we entered. I saw less people than I had expected. The pack house was a different story though. It was massive, and pristine. Not as massive as ours, but still quite large. Most of the people were found there. It was easy to tell who the leaders were. They were finely dressed, and made up while the rest of the pack were wearing clothes that looked aged, and worn.

“If I didn’t know any better I would think the Alpha, Beta, and their families were keeping the money earned from trade, and their pack for themselves, but providing little for the pack.” Dimitri said from the front seat.

“From what I am seeing right now, I’m tempted to agree.” My dad said.

“The question is why.”

“If I had to guess, greed.”

It was then that a tall, blonde she-wolf came bounding out the house to the group waiting out front. She was in a short, tight red dress. The dress looked more like something one would wear to a club, not a meeting with other pack leaders. It was bright red, had spaghetti straps, the top barely contained her large breasts, and the bottom ended just below her ass cheeks. She was also wearing some of the highest heeled shoes I had ever seen. They made me think of Chastity’s complaint about such shoes hurting. The thought of my sweet girl made me smile.

The she wolf stood next to who I assumed was the Alpha, and her father. He was an older man with light brown hair, and appeared to be maybe an inch or two shorter than me. His Beta was around the same height with salt and pepper colored hair. Both men were dressed in suits in contrast to our polo’s and khaki pants. I saw no other females, and no younger males with them either I looked at Jax in confusion, and he just shrugged then we got out of the car. I was looking at my dad when I heard an ear piercing

squeal, and lifted my eyebrows at my dad. He just shook his head in confusion as well.

When we turned to the trio the she-wolf was bouncing even more. I started to worry she was going to pop out of her tiny dress, but I shrugged it off. I moved to my father’s side, as we made our way forward. Dimitri, Jax, and the warriors we brought with us, fell into step behind us. When we reached the stairs we bowed to the Alpha.

“Alpha Marvin, Beta Zander a pleasure.” My father stated.

“Alpha Joseph it’s good to see you again. Welcome to Cedar Grove pack.” Alpha Marvin responded, “This is my daughter Bianca. Bianca this is Alpha Joseph, Beta Dimitri, and their sons.”

“Nice to meet you, this is my son future Alpha Rowen, and future Beta Jax.” My father said formally.

“Rowen, hi.” Bianca breathed.

“Nice to meet you.” I responded with a bow.

Her lack of respect to leaders was concerning, but not something I needed to worry myself with. That would be something her father, mother, and future mate could deal with. She did look to be about 18, or 19. She had light blue eyes, and too pointy of a chin. She also had a ridiculous amount of make up on. Werewolves as a general rule were more attractive than humans, and did not really need much, or any make up. This girl did not get the memo. All made worse by the lipstick that was about the same color red as her dress. I could only hope that whoever her future mate was he could curb the need to cake on that stuff.

“Thank you for coming this weekend Alpha Joseph. Hopefully our talks this weekend can help solidify our agreement, and alliance.” Alpha Marvin said with a smile that made me a little uncomfortable.

“That is the hope.” My father responded the tone concerning.

“Why don’t we move to the dining room for dinner while everyone gets acquainted. A lovely meal was made for you.” Beta Zander stated, as he turned to the house.

We followed him into the interior. I fell into step next to Jax, behind my father, and Dimitri. Bianca walked with her father, but kept glancing back at me, and smiling coyly. I just pinched my brow. Something wasn’t right with her.

“Someone has an instant crush.” Jax snickered through our private mind link.

“No thank you.” I growled.

“I don’t blame you.”

“This is going to be a long weekend if she is going to be like this.”

“What I want to know is why her father allowed her to dress that way?”

“Maybe he over indulges her, and does not know how to put his foot down.”

“Maybe, but surely her mother would step in. No mother, much less Luna would want her daughter seen like that.”

“I didn’t see a Luna any where though.”

“Neither did I.”

“Maybe she is in the kitchen finishing up dinner.”

“Maybe. We’ll find out in a minute.”

We cut the mind link as we entered an elegant private dining room. There was a huge crystal drop chandelier hanging over a large dining room table that was covered with a bright white lace cloth. There

were silver candle sticks doting the table between elaborate floral arrangements. The dishes was gold. rimmed plates, and glasses. Even the utensils were gold plated. The whole thing was way too much for what we were doing here today.

Alpha Marvin, and Beta Zander took their spots at the head, and foot of the table. Bianca took the spot to the left of Alpha Marvin, usually reserved for the Luna. This confused me, until Alpha Marvin spoke up.

“My wife, and chosen mate passed away a year after Bianca was born. I never took another mate.” Alpha Marvin spoke up.

7 am sorry for your loss sir.” I said with a bow.

“It was a long time ago. We had only been mated two years when she passed. She was also a chosen mate so the bond was not nearly as strong. I have long since grieved my loss.”

I simply nodded, and opted to sit next to my father who was to the right of Alpha Marvin. Leaving a seat open next to Beta Zander for his mate. Dimitri, and Jax sat across from us with Dimitri next to Bianca. I struggled not to roll my eyes at Bianca’s pout, and pleading eyes directed my way. A long weekend indeed.

Dinner was served shortly after we were seated. The food wasn’t bad, just not as good as Chastity’s. I had to resist the urge to text her as we ate, and idle chit chat was made at first. My father finally broached the topic I had been wondering about.
