Chapter 2

He motions with his arm for me to enter his office and I do but dread fills my heart. I give a goodbye smile to Rachael over my shoulder as I pass her and my father and stand on the inside of the office not wanting to go in further without my father’s permission.

I have only ever been ‘summoned’ to my father’s office whenever I have misbehaved and he gives me a lecture before I receive my punishment. He usually gives me a lecture about how I should know better, set an example for the pack and how I embarrass him all the time also that I disgrace my mother’s name.

“Go Rachael.” My father orders. I hold my breath as I try very hard to think of what I have done wrong and I prepare myself for my punishment. But also a little part of me wishes that my father wants to talk to me about Luther and how he wants to mate me.

“Allie… I would like you to meet Vincent and Ryder. Vincent is the alpha of the Dark Shadows pack. This is my daughter Allie.” Vincent smiles kindly at me and steps forward and take my out stretched hand and places a kiss on it.

“Very nice to meet you Allie.” I note the American accent and I smile back at him but don’t say anything as I look at my father who nods his head in encouragement. 

“It is a pleasure to meet you Alpha Vincent.” I see out the corner of my eyes that my father smiles and I relax slightly.     

Vincent releases my hand and steps back next to Ryder. My eyes are drawn to Ryder; he is very tall and towers over me as he has to be at least six foot tall and that is very big against my five foot one frame. He has black hair that is long enough to fall on his face and piercing emotionless as he stares blankly back at me. At my father’s cough I lower my eyes and fold my hands in front of me.

“This is my Beta, Ryder. He will be taking my place as Alpha when I step down in six months.” Ryder nods his head at me after Vincent has finished his introduction, but still does not show any emotion.

“Nice to meet you.” I give him a smile even though my heart is thrumming in my chest. My heart stops the second I watch Ryder’s eyes blatantly roam up and down my body his eyes stopping for a couple of seconds on my chest and my bare legs below my skirt.  

Eyes wide I stare at my father but he just seems to show a look of content. I look back at the floor as my heart start to beat louder and faster as dread starts to flow through my body shocking my awake like a freezing cold shower.

“Shall we sit?” My father smiles and indicates to the sitting area in his office in front of the fire. 

Vincent and Ryder take the couch and my father and I take the two separates seats on either side of the couch. I awkwardly flatten out my skirt on my lap as I stare at my hands, afraid to break the awkward silence. 

“So, Ryder. Does she meet your requirements?” I snap my head up at my father’s question.  My heart starts to beat erratically as my eyes dart to Ryder so see his eyes staring at me, calculatingly.

“Is she equipped enough to run a pack?” I look at my lap, my breathing speeding up slightly; I don’t know what is going on and I am too afraid of my father to interrupt and ask.

“Yes, she is very reasonable and will make the best decisions.”

“Does she take commands well, follow orders?”

“Yes. Although sometimes she becomes very excitable. But she will soon grow out of it.”

“I do not have time to baby her or look after her. It is not my fault that you failed in your parenting role, and I do not want to have to raise her.”
