Chapter 39
“Chancellor Williams, I take it that you’ll be our umpire?”
Chancellor Williams pushed his seat away and stood. He looked between Alpha Windril and I before nodding. Fixing his suit jacket he straightened up and pulled on his cuffs.
“Of course, Selene. Gentlemen, shall we take this outside?”
He asked the group of Alphas who looked more than curious as to what will happen. Quickly, everyone got up and started to head toward the exit. I walked behind the
Chancellor with Alpha Windril following close by. He emitted his energy trying to make me submit only to have his efforts deflected.
My apologies for losing my cool, Alpha.

Noah linked. I glanced behind me to find him frowning. He felt like he was the reason this was happening.
Don’t apologize, Noah. This was bound to happen. The pri ck needs to get off his high horse and face reality. He has little regard about women. We don’t need Alphas like him leading a pack.
Noah didn’t respond but I knew what I said made him feel better. I felt a tinge of relief wash over me from our bond. As an Alpha, I had a bond with my Beta and Gamma. It was similar to a mate bond but it was purely for business. It was to ensure that we all could work efficiently and compatibly with one another. Being connected would allow us to have a far more intimate understanding of how the other would think. Since the Beta and Gamma were chosen and not passed on through generations, there would be a need to affirm the individual’s allegiance.
There were different types of bonds, however.
The bonds between the entire pack and the bonds between the Alpha, Beta and Gamma were different. As the three highest ranking wolves, they needed to have separate links to ensure nothing would accidentally slip in the pack link. Think of it as a private channel only the three could access.
To form a stable bond, you only needed to have a ceremony with a witch, but that bond didn’t go deeper than communicative reasons. It didn’t create as severe an allegiance nor did it promise loyalty to each other. Many packs chose this bond mainly because many Alphas wanted to separate themselves from being on “equal” standings with his gamma and beta. They believed it would bring them to a lower level than an alpha should. Foolish thinking, but a traditional belief.
They doubted a traitor would ever climb to those rankings so they never second guessed it.
It’s what Nightwake believed in.
To form the bond we did, Noah and Isaac had to take a blood oath with me, swearing their loyalty and life to the pack, in turn, binding me to them. The blood oath wasn’t something just anyone could do. The Chancellor was the only one who could perform it. Not to mention to it hurt. It was held at a temple near the Capital. One of the many temples built for the Moon Goddess. Roughly a week was taken when setting the bond./
