You must change it and so you must be ready.
You need to be prepared..."

BONDS OF DESTINY - XXVII -
I should be happy right now. I should be proud and settled. I should be uplifted and reassured that everything was okay right now, but I wasn't. Not even the slightest.
I hammered my hands down on the keys, not able to concentrate as my thoughts were racing against each other fighting to get to the surface first and claim attention.
My hands found their way to my hair, tugging on the black wavy strands in frustration while my eyes closed shut only to see accompanying pictures to my clashing thoughts.
I did not know what was worse, staring at the scenes playing in my head of what had happened in the last couple of hours or the information blinking on the computer screen.
I massaged my temples, thankful that I had blocked the mind-link to Argent and the others too, knowing the thoughts were purely for myself to view. It was not that I did not want to share them, it was more the fact that I had trouble believing them myself.
The meeting with Alpha Chris had been nerve-wrecking as I did not know what to expect when I entered his office alone this morning.
He was pacing barely acknowledging me as I sat down in the chair in front of his desk, my head hunched as I stared down at my fingers, waiting for him to recognize my presence. A part of me wanted him to speak first, but I also knew if I explained myself it would lessen the possible blow I was to throw towards him and the rest of my pack.
Sneaking a small glance of my old Alpha though I realized he already knew. I never really understood the true power of an Alpha. I never realized he would already know when one of his pack member's got mated into another pack, but of course there must be something. We had long since stopped questioning how the hierarchy with mind-links and ranks worked in a pack - or at least I had, as I had settled with the fact that the lesser ranked one in a relationship would be the one to change pack loyalty. Dean had been of a warrior family in a neighboring pack, but when he met Ally and they solidified the bond, he was officially included into our pack due to Ally's blood of a Beta, now ensuring Dean an even higher rank than of what he could have gained in his old one.
"Lucas Argent is your mate," Alpha Chris spoke up pulling me from my thoughts and my head snapped up to meet his gaze, reluctantly nodding in confirmation as I could not deny him the truth. I knew by finalizing the bond with Argent last night, Alpha Chris had no power over me anymore, as we were now somewhat equals.
In the back of my head I wondered if Argent had thought about how it played to his advantage of having us mate before I went into this meeting. Had he not placed his mark on me I would have no choice than to obey Alpha Chris if he questioned me in his alpha voice. It did not matter though as the last minutes with Argent and Ryder's words had reassured me that whatever I chose to say to Alpha Chris I could speak of with a clean conscience.
