Dan and the Neko's

Chapter 8 - Is she an Alien?

When he answered Roberto was actually looking away for a moment. He started replying as he turned his head. "Can you believe that BS? Whoever broadcast that should be shot..." By now he was looking at Dan and his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw who, or what was sitting in his lap as well as the other two sitting next to him. "What the fuck? How the hell... Is she..." He couldn't figure out what to say.

Dan started laughing at his reaction. "Oh god, I am so going to keep this footage, your expression was great. Meet Lt. Commander Nang, Science Officer of the CSS Tail Chaser and my mate, well soon to be mate." His grin was getting bigger as he was talking and if it got any wider his face was going to break.

Roberto leaned forward and growled slightly and then frowned. Something about the woman was familiar. "Nang? As in your cat Nang? They are shape changers as well?" That was a disturbing thought. "Mate? Are you nuts?" His eyes narrowed a bit more. "What about the other two? Who are they mated with?"

Tigger was offended when the man assumed he was female and hissed at him. "I am Tigger and this is my mate Oreo. We are friends with Dan and he invited us down for the show." He hissed again and pulled Oreo closer to him.

Roberto actual twitched. "Sorry if I insulted you Tigger", he stumbled over the name a bit, "this is just a bit of a shock and not what I was expecting when I called Dan." He looked back at Dan. "I have to say you don't do things halfway do you? I almost wish I was single..." Before he was able to finish that sentence a hand came out and whacked him on the back of his head.

Before they could continue there were several more beeps and slowly the other nearby Alpha's were calling in and an unscheduled teleconference was formed. As each new Alpha came online the shock of seeing Nang sitting on his lap was amusing. As each started to speak Dan would hold his hand up. "Please wait till the others are online. I rather expected us to end up in a meeting like this."

Eventually all of them were there but when the last person came online he stared and gave a course laugh. A number of words in his native tongue rolled out and he gave another course laugh. Dan snapped upright since one of the words he recognized was 'puta' and knew it was very insulting. "Jose I challenge you in the circle tomorrow at noon for insulting my mate." He stood up and set Nang down and stepped forward and his power was showing.

The other laughed. "Amusing. Posturing in front of the puta. You are so funny. If you want to fuck a cat then go for it." The man obviously didn't take Dan's threat seriously.

A low threatening growl rumbled out of his chest. "Challenge circle tomorrow at noon here or I will take this and the recordings to the counsel. Refusal to accept my challenge is immediate submission and removal as Alpha. Accept or submit." Everyone in the room had stopped and turned to him and were kneeling down based on the power that was showing.

That got the other man's attention and he sobered up somewhat. "I apologize for the perceived insult Alpha." He started sweating since he knew that Dan was more powerful than he was. He was used to Dan restraining himself when it came to interfering with other Packs.

"Not accepted. Final chance, accept or submit. Submission will include removal from your position as Alpha and I take over your pack." He was pushing as hard as he could. "You have ten seconds or I will contact the counsel and challenge you in front of the counsel."

The other finally sat up. "Fine I accept and will be there at noon and will be bringing witnesses for when I beat you." That was a snarl.

"Goodbye you mangy dog." He terminated the connection. He took a slow deep breath as he faced the others. "Anyone close enough is welcome to come and watch the challenge. Bring your mates and two others and we will take care of food. Bring whatever you would like to drink." He knew that would get a definite reaction. "I will warn you no overloading my guests. They have assistants to help them deal with lycanisms."
