The Secrets of The Reverence Pack

Chapter 54: A Walk in the City

A month had passed since they had all set to planning on how to take Sakdah down. Alex enjoyed working with all of them. Shiro, Geo, and the rest of the soon-to-be council were great at communicating. They were also the best when it came to planning, although he still had a headache from all the questions they gave. They all had this thing about them where they would ask questions about their plans and shape it out with as many safeguards as possible. It took days and days of going through every possibility. And, while Alex could completely understand why they did it that way, it left him more than tired.

Jett and Shiro made a great team though. That was cute to see. They both bounced ideas off from each other so well that sometimes it didn't seem like the rest of them were needed at all. Watching them train together was the coolest thing, though. A lot of their warriors actually trained with the Reverence guests during the month. It helped all of them stay in shape, and learn some new fighting skills. The way the Reverence warriors fought was so different from their own way. But Jett and Shiro fighting against each other was something that you just had to see to believe.

But his personal favorite part about all of this, the part that had him smiling every day, was the adorable puppy that he always got to curl up with at night. As much as Geo was a calm and relaxed person, there were times where Alex would suddenly feel a spike of emotions coming from him. He told him a lot about his parents and the memories that he had gotten from them. Neither of them really seemed like they were the best. His mom seemed like she was verbally abusive.

And his dad?

Alex still wanted to personally chop him up in little pieces and feed him to a dog. Slimey asshole had been hitting Geo and hurting him whenever he was away from Shiro. Alex stopped going into the city that much simply because if he saw Kenji, he knew that he wouldn't be able to refrain from kicking his ass to Hell and back.

Alex's sisters absolutely fell in love with Geo, much to his shock. His parents were merely happy that Alex was finally going to settle down. They all heard what Kenji was about to do to him before he got out of that pack and tried to comfort him the best that they could. His dad thought the same way as him and started talking to him about volunteering for the ass kicking contest for his father. Alex got a good laugh out of that.

He recollected his thoughts on the past month so easily as he winded down the streets of the city. He came early in the morning today to scope out the area. It was the first time in a while since he had been there, but it hadn't changed that much. It was just like walking right into home.

Except for the fact that it could have some enemies.

Right when they told the other packs that Sakdah could be trying to overthrow them, Dynamic and Noble both put up their guard and prepared for war. All of them were willing to fight right then and there. And, boy, was it a headache trying to convince them to hold back. It helped that they had more information on that poison though. Alex used that as a means to get them to try and be less confrontational about the issue. If Sakdah has a poison that could kill off an entire pack then that was no laughing matter.

The longer this went on, though, the more tension rose. Now Valor was starting to feel the pressure as Roger and Nir pressed both him and Jett for answers. They knew that they were hiding something. The Valor pack was known for their impulsive nature. The fact that it was them who wanted to hold back and gather more information rather than someone else was suspicious all on it's own. But they trusted Jett. He had to really use their trust to get them to calm down. Thankfully it worked for the most part.

"Hey, Alex!" he turned to see a familiar face running and waving at him from down the street. Luke looked like he had been up all night, probably up to his elbows in work for Nir. The poor soul wasn't even in his council, yet he worked his ass off for that Alpha. Well, Alex couldn't say too much about that. At least he was getting paid a decent amount for working these crazy hours.
