Mates with Alpha Dylan

Chapter 20

James's POV

"Thank you all for your time today. Meeting is adjourned, you may all leave," Dylan was still frozen in his spot. Beau certainly expressed himself before he stormed out and I couldn't agree more. It seems as though my son isn't as responsible as I initially thought he was. He was rubbing his when I told him, "meet me in the office in five minutes please."

I still can't believe that he marked Tiffany. Nor can I believe that it was Mark who had Sam the entire time. He pointed us to places that made sense to everyone at the time, including me. His cabin is a fifteen minute drive from here, yet that thought never came to me. To any of us. I'm not sure about what I'm going to do, or say, but what I am sure of is that Tiffany is not the Luna of this pack.

That position belongs rightfully to Sam.

Sam was going to be the Luna regardless because if we were to leave it to a majority vote, we all know who would lose.

Beau said that Sam might not make it and that scares me. We haven't known her for that long yet she fit right in with us. She cares for everyone, especially the kids, who by the way have been doing fine considering we just told them that she had an impromptu meeting that she couldn't miss. There was no way in hell we were going to tell them what was really going on. Our pups are young, but they are the smartest ones I've come to know.

Dylan finally stepped into the office with the brat in tow. God, she's like a leech. "Tiffany, can you please leave, this is a family matter." I asked her as nicely as I could considering that I don't really like her. She doesn't respect anyone, especially herself. She looked at me with "puppy dog" eyes, which just creeps me out because she looks more like a pufferfish, but I sent her the best daggers that I could and she scurried off.

Thank God.

I turned my attention back to my son, "what do you have to say for yourself? I cannot even begin to fathom what you've done, Dylan. I gave you the Alpha position because I thought that you were mature and responsible. I thought that you were going to be a leader for them-"

He suddenly snapped and said, "well you obviously thought wrong!"

"Yes I did! What the hell has gotten into you Dylan!? Ever since you've been with Tiffany it's as if you don't care about your pack anymore! We would've been drowning in paperwork had it not been for me and the help of Beau. You've become a selfish, self-absorbed ignoramus. If you didn't want to be the Alpha you could've just said so, damn it! Not only do you sleep with Tiffany when you met Sam, but you also slept with her the entire time that she was missing and on top of it all, you fucking MARKED HER! And let me tell you something, you might've marked Tiffany but she is NOT nor will she EVER be the Luna of this pack! Do everyone a favor, including yourself, and grow up! If not for your mother and I, or the pack, then do it for Sam. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check on her," I've never been so blunt with Dylan, but this was the last straw. Sam has done nothing wrong yet he treats her horribly.

I hate to say it but I agree with everything that Beau said earlier. Dylan doesn't deserve Sam, nor does he deserve to be the Alpha. Actually that doesn't really apply to him because he hasn't been acting like an Alpha at all lately. I guess I gave him the position too soon.

Way too soon.

I hope that my words make him think and change his ways. I don't know what Tiffany has done with my son, but I do know that I want him back. The pack needs Dylan, not this disappointing ignoramus that has taken over. I also hope that Sam is going to be okay. She's done so much for this pack and I'm proud to be able to call her the Luna of our pack. If it wouldn't have been for her, we could've had casualties during that rogue attack and Ben and Tim would be dead.

I don't know about everyone else, but I am more than grateful that she's stumbled upon our lives. I was walking towards the infirmary when I bumped into my beautiful mate, "hey honey, have you checked on Sam?" I asked and she beamed. I'm guessing that's a good sign.

"Yes and she's made a full recovery! She's actually asking for you."

"Really? What for?" It's safe to say that I was curious.

"She wouldn't say, but don't keep her waiting too long," she kissed me softly and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner with her lady friends. As I looked at her I thought about everything that Dylan has done to Sam, and I really have no clue how he could do that. Just thinking about doing something so low, makes my insides churn. I could never bring myself to do that to Selene. I love her too much, and that suddenly makes me wonder if Dylan ever cared for Sam. Hmm.

I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind for now and made my way to Sam's room. She was lounging on the bed talking to Beau when I came in.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"

She smiled at me, "no you're not. Beau do you mind giving us a second?"

"Of course not, I'm starving anyways. Have fun, James," he said as he patted my back and made his way out of the room.

I walked towards Sam and sat in the chair beside her bed, "how are you feeling?"

She smiled brightly and said, "I've never been better. I'm no longer in pain, I'm fully recovered, and I'm anxious to start training again. I miss those kids so much. But enough about me, how've you all been?"

"Well for one we're glad to have you back with us. Beau and I've cleared up the paperwork and the kids miss you too. Don't be surprised when they all jump on you," I laughed which made her laugh too.

"Hey, kids will be kids-"

"Oh no, I'm talking about the teenagers!" She gaped at me which made me laugh harder. It's been a while since I've had a good laugh.

"Well then I can't wait!"

"Selene told me you wanted to see me?" I didn't want to put a damper on things but I need to know what she has to say.

"Yeah, I wanted to apologize. I know that rejecting your mate is a horrible thing but Dylan, he just--- there was too much pain and I want to be happy for once. I would love to still be the Luna of this pack if that's okay with you. Maybe I should've ran this by Selene first. Oh God, I just messed this up I-"

I had to laugh, "Sam it's okay, you don't have to apologize. We all understand that you did what was best for you. We still love you very much and even though Dylan marked Tiffany, you're still our Luna. I mean if we were to conduct majority vote, you'd win by a landslide."

"Thank you so much James, for everything."

A tear slid down her cheek, and the next thing I know I'm holding close to my chest as she's crying. A few tears of my own fall and I don't bother to wipe them away, because I'm cherishing this very moment with the daughter I never had, but always wanted.
