Xavier's POV


Walking to the conference room, I open the door to be greeted by the three visiting Alphas. Alpha Weiss, a middle aged gentleman whose pack was not terribly far from mine, sat with a small smile on his face. Alpha Jackson, the oldest in the room, homes a large pack to the east; his salt and pepper hair tracing down into a large beard. Alpha Leo, a man about my age, sat with a grim smile on his permanently grumpy face.


"Gentlemen," I greet with a nod, walking to the head of the table to take my seat.


"Alpha Xavier," Alpha Weiss and Jackson greet me. Alpha Leo gives a nod of acknowledgment.


"Alpha Weiss, how's the family?" Alpha Weiss and his mate, Joli, take care of their niece. Her parents were both warriors and passed away in a rogue attack years ago. Since then, their mate Mischen has been their pride and joy. I believe she's in her teens now, I can't imagine it's easy. Though, maybe it was just me who was a difficult teenager. . . No, teenagers are nightmares.


"They're great, Mischen just had her thirteenth birthday."


"How did her first shift go?" The question came from Alpha Jackson, always a caring man.


"It. . didn't," he sighs. "She's worried, and says she doesn't even hear her wolf yet."


"Give it time," I advise. "All in good timing," I promise.


"Alpha Leo, any luck on the mate hunt?" A small smile graces his lips and my question is answered.


"I believe so. She's a human in a town near my pack, now I just have to not scare her off." He is a very intimidating man, always gruff in the voice.


"What's her name?"


"Clever," he says with a smile. "Her name is Clever, an odd little human. She's quite sassy so far but I believe I can woo her my way."


"Best of luck," I wish and the other two nod in agreement.


"Thank you." He runs a hand through his red hair as he stares off momentarily.


"Alpha Jackson, I heard you'll be welcoming a grandpup soon?" He smiles with a nod.


"Yes, my daughter is hoping the pup will come any day soon."


"Best of luck in the delivery," Alpha Weiss wishes. "Alpha Xavier, I heard you found your own mate recently?"


I nod, a smile making its way to my face. "Yes, she's lovely though we've had a bit of a rough start. We're hoping to have her induction into the pack in the months to come."


"Congratulations," he says brightly.


"Let's get to business then, shall we?" They all hum and nod in agreement.
