Beta

Chapter 9

"Mommy." Tanner tugged at my ankle "Hey, baby." I said picking him up and watched as Court spun around with Addison in his arms. I grinned at Tanner and danced around with him. We laughed and were soon having the time of our lives thanks to Trixie, Nixon, and my loving pack. My heart swelled to know that I have so much love here and just when I felt happy I heard the worst voice ever. "Alfa Jaxon and Rose would like a word, Luna." Phoebe said interrupting my dance. Sighing I handed Tanner to Court and kissed his tiny cheek "Thank you for the dance little man." I smiled brightly before turning and following Phoebe out of the living room and upstairs. I could feel Court's eyes on me as I walked through the crowd so I sent him a mind link telling him that I was fine and I'd be back shortly. I blocked my mind from him after that because I haven't discussed just how bad my past was with him and I don't want him ease dropping on our conversation and finding out; I'll tell him when the time is right.
Phoebe pushed open Jaxon's door and there he stood by his window and Rose stood by the bed. I almost laughed at Phoebe for leaving them alone together. "Am-Beta we need to talk." Rose said coming towards me "Well then talk." I said nonchalantly I couldn't help but see the hurt flash across her face. I loath her though I despise them all, they let father torture me until the day I took my life into my own hands. "I know you hate me but I need you to listen to me." She said calmly I nodded my acceptance and let her talk to me.
"It's about the rouges Remy killed." My interest peaked at her words "We have word that there will be retaliation for their deaths." She said nervously obviously fearing another attack on her pack. "Okay." I said pulling out my phone, Jaxon didn't like the way I just dismissed it as if it was nothing and his face showed just how furious he was "Okay? That's it!" He seethed his wolf threatening to emerge "Calm down. And yes okay we can handle this." I barely looked up from my phone. "Nix I just might have a mission perfect for you." I smiled into my phone as Nixon's laid back voice answered with an evil laugh "Great! It's been a while where to this time?" She asked "Local actually, we have ourselves a rouge attack forming quickly." I said there was a long pause from her end but her next words made me smile deeply "Well if we're going into rouge territory I'll need you Beta." I laughed and said I'd be there and we made plans to meet up in Remy's room to plan. I looked up after I pocketed my phone and met the eyes of my old pack. I rolled my eyes "Nixon and I will handle the rouges we've done things like this since I turned fifteen." I said bored of this situation "Okay then." Rose said while phoebe stared at me dumbfounded "Okay." I said turning to leave but stopping when my hand touched the door knob "Please come join my pack and enjoy the rest of your evening." I said with a sincere smile. I shut the door behind me and walked to Remy's room just down the hall. I pushed open the door and found Nixon still in her short lacy black dress, she sat in the recliner with her feet propped up on the bed next to Remy's feet, and she had her headphones in jamming to her playlist. I smiled and made my presence known my plopping myself on her lap. She smiled and took out her earphones "Hey best friend." I greeted quietly "Hey." She said giving me a bright smile. I stayed seated where I was as we discussed our plan to control the rouge problem. "You two are trouble." Remy spoke hoarsely but clearly "It's my problem and I'll handle it, not you two." He said with a firmness in his voice "It hasn't been that long that you'd forget once I set my mind to something I do it." I grinned not letting him get the better of me. Honestly what is with all the guys in my past thinking they know what's best? The only man I let control me is Tanner because he's my little man and I spoil him like the prince he is. "I'm aware of this but seriously I don't want your help cleaning up the mess I made." He looked me in the eyes pleading that I listen to him. As if little brother, I thought as I shook my head slowly. "We do things a little differently here and that includes not killing rouges and negotiating with packs we need as well as rouges; We keep the peace so we don't have to worry about being attacked or worse a war." I finished concluding that we would indeed help him clean up his mess. "Okay enough rouge talk how's everything are you comfortable? Do you need anything? If you're hungry Lisa-" I stopped because I realized he was trying not to laugh at me. "Yeah 'mom' I'm fine." He teased grinning at me. "Well momma has to go back to her party but Nixon here, will be checking in on you until your recovery." I smiled at her and stood up from her surprisingly comfy lap. "Save me a dance." She called as I shut the door behind myself.
