"Alpha Lucas," my second in command, Beta Michael, said lowly.
" What?" I growled back.
"The southwestern pack, they are here, you said that you would meet with them."
I sighed. I had agreed to meet them to discuss a rogue pack that was terrorizing their northern borders."Let them know I'll be there in a minute." I threw on a jacket not bothering to zip it or put on a shirt under it, despite the cold weather.
I walked down the stairs and into my living room. "Alpha McGregory."
"Alpha Lucas, thank you for meeting with me."
"Did you come alone?"
"No. My daughter is here. I am old, she must learn to rule over a pack."
"You plan to leave you're pack with a female?"
"She is my oldest. That is the way my family has done it for as far back as we go."
"Beta Michael, go and get Alpha McGregory's daughter, she is to learn to rule a pack."
"Yes sir," he said as he walked out the door.
" Alpha Lucas, this is my daughter Isabelle ," Alpha McGregory said with pride.
"Hi," she whispered.
"You may call me Desmond," it's been a long time since I let anyone call me that, but she was my mate. I never expected to find one.
Isabelle' S POINT OF VIEW
My mate was amazing. He had light blue eyes, they almost looked grey. They looked like they were hiding so much guilt and sadness. He was taller than me, but no where near as tall as my dad. And he wasn't wearing a shirt. That's great, now I'm just gonna stare at his abs for the whole time we're here.
"Are you okay?" Desmond asked me.
"I'm great," I responded.
"You were just staring at me, that was different, no one looks at me without getting scared," he said looking me in the eyes.
So my mate was apparently supposed to scare me? "Oh okay," I didn't know what else to say.
Desmond's point of view
My mate was beautiful. She had big dark brown eyes, dark brown hair. She was a few inches shorter than me. But this didn't make sense. I wasn't supposed to have a mate. That's what he told me. It was part of my eternal suffering. "Let's talk about these rogues," I said with a smile. It's been a long time since I smiled.
Alpha McGregory spoke up,"They attack every night. Take some of our women and children and leave."
"I'll go stop them, as long as my mate stays here."
"Who is your mate?"Alpha McGregory sounded curious.
"Dad, I'm his mate." Isabelle sounded shocked when she said that.
"Of course she will stay here Alpha Lucas. Why would I say she couldn't? That would be stupid seeing as she should be with her mate. Seeing-"
"Alpha, please shut up, you're giving me a headache." I snarl.
"Yes sir, Alpha Lucas, Thank you. Isabelle's things will be here tomorrow." He sounded very happy walking out of the door.
"Why is my dad so excited?"
"I do not know, possibly because he knows I will not kill him."
"Why would you kill him?"
"I never planned to, most others are scared of me."
"Why?"
"You ask to many questions."
