Zyon: The Alpha Of The North

Chapter Seven

Calling Midnight pack territory huge would be an understatement. It stretched on for miles and miles. It was probably the size of a large city, inhabited completely by werewolves. The forest was interconnected with the territory- large, beautiful, green. Looking at made me miss my wolf, the way the ground felt underneath my paws, running fast between the trees. But once you began to look past the sheer beauty and size of it, you started to pay attention to the security detail. Burly men and tall females stood as guards around the perimeter- the men in front as the foremost security detail and then women behind them. We were escorted to the large corporate pack office at the border of the Midnight territory. As Alpha Amor and I walked into the building, I smelt the intoxicating scent of my mate-rain and pinecones. As much as I didn't want it, I yearned to be near him and take in that scent.

We took the elevator up. I glanced at Alpha Amor, wondering why I was even here. I was a hiring manager, I worked in HR. This had nothing to do with me. This was a pack alliance. Why had he even wanted me here? And that's when it hit me, What if he knew? He couldn't know though. It wasn't possible. But what if he did?

We were brought to a meeting room, the door of which was opened for us. As we walked in, I drunk in the presence of my mate. In his baige work pants, tucked in black shirt that clung to him. His hair neatly combed back and his eyes- right on me. I ran my hand through my hair, to smooth it down.

"Alpha Amor, Kat, lovely to see you.Please take a seat."

"Glad to be here. We have to be back in two hours though, so I'm afraid we are going to have to rush through this a bit."

"That sounds fine."

Zyon seated himself across to me on the long conference table. I looked up at him to see his eyes completely trained on me as his Beta droned on and on about the specifities of the alliance. I couldn't handle the way his eyes didn't move off me so I did my best to avoid his gaze, keeping my eyes situated directly on the file in front of me as I pretended to flip through it. I had absolutely no understanding of what was going on and it was hard to even try to pay attention when all Zyon did was stare at me. Is this how he felt when all I did was stare at him through highschool? The thought was somehow amusing to me as I felt my lips curl up into a small smile.

"Something amusing, Kat?" Damn, he caught me. Why was he even focusing on me? I felt Alpha Amor shoot me a glare for disrupting an official meeting. And I felt anger rise up in me towards Zyon for calling me out.

"No, not at all Alpha, I apologize." I say with gritted teeth. He seems to notice my predicament but it does nothing except amuse him.

The meeting concludes soon enough and I spend the rest of the time, again staring at the file while Zyon stares at me. Alpha Amor discusses specificities with the Beta, who had clearly been thoroughly briefed by Zyon.

"Alpha Amor, if you could please follow me into the adjacent room, for the signing of the contract." The beta says.

Alpha Amor gets up to leave and I get up too, to follow him out. "Katherine, can stay here Amor, while you finish up the paperwork?"

"That sounds fine." Amor replies. I have never wanted to kill Amor more than ever than in that moment. I sit back down and cast my eyes back to the file, without looking up. I can't handle that eye contact with him, its too intense. I start blushing and then he gets all smug.

"Why won't you look at me?"

"Why did you ask for me today?" I spit out. "I have work to do, I can't just attend to you everytime you want me to show up." I'm still pissed that he called me out during the meeting. I'm a perfectionist and a workaholic and I hate that he made me look bad Infront of my boss.
