The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 54

***Rowen***

The next morning I woke up to Jax sneaking out of my room, as we had agreed. I heard him have a whispered conversation with the warrior we agreed to place at my door, and with me at all times. After a few minutes I got out of bed, sent a text message to Chastity saying good morning then took a shower.

I had just finished dressing when there was a knock at my door then it opened slightly. I looked up from grabbing my laptop, and some files I wanted to bring to the meeting with me. The warrior, Blake had stuck. his head in the door, and looked concerned.

“Yes Blake?” I questioned.

“Umm. Miss Bianca is here to escort to you to breakfast.” He informed me.

“LUNA BIANCA!” I heard Bianca screech.

“I’m sorry Miss. I didn’t realize you were mated to Alpha Marvin. I am sorry for the disrespect.” Blake responded respectfully.

“EWW! Don’t be gross. That is my father.”

“I’ll be right there Blake.” I said with a smile.

“Just move you over grown oaf!” Bianca growled, and I shook my head at him.

He nodded slightly, and backed out of the room, obviously holding someone from entering. I sighed when he pulled the door shut, and I heard Bianca yelling until the door closed. Thank the goddess for sound proof rooms. Once I had everything I needed, and my shoes on I opened the door. I almost laughed at the glare Bianca was throwing at Blake. As soon as she saw me her face cleared, and she smiled brightly. I only nodded.

“Good morning Rowen. I’m hear to escort you to breakfast.” Bianca said with a too high pitched voice. “Thank you.” I said with a dip of my head.

“You can go now. I will keep Rowen company.” Bianca said to Blake.

“I’m sorry ma’am, but my orders are to stay with Alpha Rowen.” Blake said respectfully.

“Nonsense. He’s just as safe here in our pack as he is any where else. Now go.” Bianca growled.

“I’m sorry ma’am, but I cannot.”

“I gave you an order, and you will follow it.”

“Unless that order comes directly from my chain of command I cannot. I am sorry.”

“It does! I am…..”

“Enough!” I growled, “Bianca, Blake stays with me at all times as he is my personal guard. He takes his orders from myself, my father, Beta Dimitri, or Beta Jax. Now if you will be so kind as to lead us to the dining room for breakfast I would appreciate it.” I stated firmly.

“Oh. No. You and I will be having breakfast in my private parlor this morning. I thought afterwards you would agree to the pack tour we discussed yesterday. No need for you to be locked away in some office all day. You’re too young, and active to be locked away with a bunch of old men like that. They don’t need you there, and you should be seen by our pack members. I’m sure they can iron out the details without you there anyway.” Bianca said.

“Thank you, but no. I will join the others for breakfast then proceed to the meeting with everyone else.” | responded walking past Bianca as she had stopped in front of a door just down the hall from my room.

“But…but why? You don’t need to be there. You need to be seen out, and in our pack. They need to see. who you are.” Bianca said running to catch up with me.

“Because as future Alpha of my pack I want to be involved in all discussions, and agreements made.”

“But wouldn’t your time here be better served getting to know the people, and spending time with me?”

“I’m sorry Bianca, but no.”

With that I opened the dining room door to find everyone already seated, and my place from the night. before empty, along with Bianca’s. The whole conversation with her set off warming bells in my head. I was beginning to think there was something else behind this meeting that we were not being told. I watched as Alpha Marvin’s eyes narrowed, but he quickly cleared his face, and smiled. That only raised my suspicions more.

“Rowen my dear boy. I hadn’t realized you would be joining us for breakfast. I thought you would have preferred a more private breakfast with my daughter.” Alpha Marvin said with a chuckle.

“It was offered, but I declined Alpha Marvin.” I stated as I took my seat, and an Omega placed a dish and utensils in front of me.

“Oh. Um. Ok. Have you changed your mind about joining Bianca on a pack tour today?”

“No sir. I appreciate the offer, but I will have to pass.”

“But son how will you learn what expect from the pack if you do not meet the people?”

“Again, while I appreciate the offer, this weekend is for trade agreements, and renewing our alliance. If I return someday I may take a tour of the pack, just not today.”

“If? Surely you’ll come back for visits often.” Bianca whined.

“I cannot promise that as I have quite the busy schedule in the months to come.”

“But….”

“Leave it Bianca.” Alpha Marvin growled.

I caught her nod then pout out of the corner of my eye. I focused in the food on my plate, as Dimitri, and Beta Zander discussed the current state of their cedar grove which was their main trade item in the forms of furniture, and building supplies. It didn’t sound promising.

“I’m starting to see what you meant last night son.” My father privately mind linked me.

“I have a feeling I know what is going on, but I want to wait to see how they go about playing their hand here. I also heard about the disrespect you all received in regards to your rooms.” I responded.

“Yes. That was addressed before you arrived. Beta Zander was quite upset about it. Alpha Marvin waved it off, and claimed it to be poor understanding on Bianca’s part as she was in charge of arranging the

rooms.”

“Is it being changed?”

“Beta Zander said he would see to it personally.”

“Good. If I’m being honest the all around lack of respect since we arrived is concerning.”

“I agree.”

Our conversation was cut off at Alpha Marvin rose from his seat.

“Alpha Joseph, Beta Dimitri, if you’ll please come with me, and Zander we can begin our meeting.” Alpha Marvin said with a smug smile.

“We will be joining you sir.” I stated as I rose from my seat, grabbing my laptop bag, Jax doing the same.

“Oh. No. You can finish your breakfast, and join us when you are done. Bianca will keep you company.” Alpha Marvin offered.

“No thank you. I’m quite finished.” I responded, biting back a gag as the eggs were under cooked.

“Is the food not to your liking? I can have the Omegas make you something else if you want.”

“That’s quite alright. I am not a big breakfast eater.” I responded, and caught Jax raise an eyebrow at me. “…um….alright. Come along them.”

We followed Alpha Marvin out of the dining room, and up the stairs to his office.

“We need to read every single line of that alliance agreement. Fine print included.” I said to my dad, Dimitri, and Jax through the party mind link.

“What is going on Rowen?” Dimitri responded.

“Bianca, and Alpha Marvin are way to eager for me to spend time alone with her. Things she said on our way to the dining room didn’t sit well with me either.” I responded.

“What do you think they are up to?”

“I don’t want to say anything yet. I want to wait to see how this plays out, but we need to make sure that agreement is complete above board.”
