The Pet🐾 (Completed)

Chapter 30

Ashley

Once we all finished lunch, Jared took my plate for me and said he had business to go over with me. He escorted me out of the dining hall, and up the stairs. We went down a hallway, passing rooms and hallways. I almost bumped into Jared when I didn't notice he stopped in front of a door, Jared opened it to reveal an office. It had a dark wood desk and bookshelves to match, while while I could tell the prime color in the room was green. There were scattered papers on the desk while two other men were in the room waiting looking at the papers. They seemed to stand up straight when I walked in, Jared looked at me and pointed to the seat behind the desk, he whispered lightly "Sit."

I took long strides over to the chair and sat down, time for me to man up and do this. "This is Javiar." Jared said padding the shoulder, of a tall muscular man.

He had short black hair and shaved sides, dark chocolate brown eyes, staring at me and a white button up shirt tucked into a pair of nice dress pants all wrapped up with a nice belt. Then Jared leaned over "And this big guy over here is head of the guards, Cole." Cole had long blond hair up in a ponytail, and brown eyes as well. He had on a navy button up shirt tucked into a pair of dress pants as well.

Everyone was so formal, I felt so out of place. Hell, even Jared had a nice shirt and pants on. I smiled to the both of them while the both said hi, and walked over to the table. Javiar was the first to speak, "So, if you are serious in taking over the pack while Alpha Roman heals, we need to go over some things that he wasn't able to see before we were attacked." He picked up a piece of paper showing it to me, it looked like a letter "This came from, a witch asking for passage through our territory." he told me.

I skimmed over the letter, her name was Christine and she was requesting to sell her goods and safe passage. "Have there been any attacks from witches in the past?" I asked Javiar looking up at him.

He shook his head, "No, but unless someone had declared war, and a witch was in their territory. Then that said witch would fight for the pack they resided in." he told me.

I nodded, "She will be granted passage, let me know when she gets here, I want her to take a look at Roman." I told him also handing him the letter.

He nodded and put an approved stamp on the letter, Cole then walked up. "We believe that someone has been sneaking in and out of the territory undetected, we would like to reroute some of our guards to the area they might be getting in and out." he said.

"Would it weaken or jeopardize our defense?" I asked in a serious tone.

This was fun, kind of nerve-wracking, but mainly easy so far. Cole taught for a moment and then replied "We'll take one warrior from each division and post them in the area we suspect. So it will only weaken the defence by one in each area." he said.

Ok, now it's getting harder "How often do we get attacked? How many enemies do we have?"I asked.

This is like back in medieval times, I just got to think like a king, right?

Cole replied "We have about seven known packs that are against us, and before today we had not often been attacked since last year." he said.

Okay​, so if it is a years span between it then, "I think we can spare a few guards, investigate around the area and try and figure out why someone would be sneaking in and out." Cole nodded and walked out of the room nodding before he left.

Jared then took Cole's place on my right side, while Javiar was on my left, "Now there are a lot of money things to go over." he said handing me another paper.

I must have been in that office for 3 hours, Jared had me figure out their bills, and figure out other number stuff; I don't even want to try and remember right now! All I want to do is go and see Roman, Javiar said he would walk me there. We stepped out of the pack house while Javiar held the door for me. I stepped out and saw the sun starting to get lower, "Wow, how late is it?" I asked him.

He looked at his watch, "Um, its about 5:30." he said.

I looked back at him, "No way!" I said.

He nodded his head "I know, sometimes we're in there for over 8 hours." He pointed down the road, "That way is to the hospital." He said, while turning and pointing in another direction, "And that's where the shops are, maybe tomorrow I can take you over there to meet the witch, she should be set up by then." he told me.

I looked up at him and smiled, "I would love that, lets go see Roman, I have to give him his medicine again." I said.

Javiar nodded and walked with me to the hospital, by the time we got to the hospital the sun was about to start setting. We stepped inside the sterile atmosphere, we then found Meril the nurse and she showed us to Romans room. Meril told me that nothing to exiting happened while I was away, and that he just slept. I stepped inside to see a woman sitting in one of the chairs, she had short brown hair all put up in a messy bun, and glasses. I smiled at the woman, she stood up shocked walking over greeting me and introducing herself, "Oh- my dear, my name is Merida, I'm Romans mother." she said to me...

I'm entering the wattys!!!...
Yeah I'm not expecting to win, but I was thinking, what the he'll you know...

I'm just glad I get the chance to compete against the top of the top...

I'm no shakspere, or F. Scot Fitzgerald or anything, but I can still always try...

All they could say is no, right?...
