Alpha Female

Chapter 12

Demon's POV

"It seems they are finally ready for the war to come, the smaller battles leading up to this are nothing compared to the growing rouge army. The strategy I suggest is getting some of the surrounding packs on board as well. I have some vampires on standby, we want the rouge twins alive as we have plans for them" Explained the Idiot vampire as he hung upside down from the chandelier in the room. "Great we need two insurgent teams, one for attack the other for infiltration, we'll have the Vampires go with the insurgent team as the twin rouges don't like to get their hands dirty if they don't have to" Continued Pearl ignoring the fact Vlad just said he was going to use them as blood servants. 

"I'll contact the four surrounding packs to tell them about the attack. We should have their packs as the main fighting force and I'll go with a small contingent of warriors and  the vampires and storm the stronghold whilst you two fight with the packs keeping the rouges from seeing us" Added Rex. Over the past few days the man has gotten his act together, he's finally up to a standard of a strong Alpha and is becoming a better mate to Brittney and a better leader to his pack. "Alright is that meeting adjourned, Alpha Rex you'll  contact the packs, the rest of us will rally the packs and we'll put the pups in the safe room with the mothers in case some of the rouges get passed our line of defence.  I'm sure it won't come to that and we'll leave five warriors with them 2 from this pack 2 from pearls pack and 1 from my own" I recounted the conversations we've had for the past four hours  in the meeting room.

"Yes it is, now if you four don't mind I need a word with Demon" Vlad spoke jumping down from the chandelier and shooing Pearl, Rex, Clara and Matthew out of the room. Pearl shot me an encouraging smile as she left before Vlad shut the door and i couldn't see her. A low whine left my lips before I had the time to suppress it.  "I knew it" Vlad shouted as he danced his way over to me. "You know what exactly" I inquired cautiously  "You my furry friend are in love with Pearl" Sang Vlad as he jumped back onto the chandelier his hair falling into his violet eyes as he giggled out a laugh. "How could you possibly know that" I exclaimed a timid blush rising up my neck and onto my cheeks. "Oh please its obvious and plus the way you look at her as if she's all you can see. The way you light up whenever she enters a room and your thoughts are chaotic and the only clear ones are when she pops and a dopey grin takes over your face. And lets not forget that whine as she left. 

"Fine I'm in love with Pearl but she wouldn't want me, she hates the concept of mates" I said sadly balling my hands into fists of frustration. "Oh don't be ridiculous that woman loves you, she might not realise it yet but she does. You should tell her after the battle in a big dramatic way it'll be perfect" Responded Vlad his advice was actually helpful. "Alright that's enough about me have you found your Mr right" I asked raising my eyebrows in question. "Unfortunately no i have not, tomorrow i have a chance to look through the prisoners though because I've been staking out the hideout and I can feel my beloved inside I just can't get an accurate read" Uttered Vlad in a small voice one void of his usual playful demeanour. 

It was startling to see him so down but he brushed it off just as quickly as it came. We settled into a relatively tame conversation afterwards and I felt good finally telling someone how i felt about her. I love her, eyes, her smile, her strength and I love who she is. That's it I know what I'm going to do.  We left the office a small while later both feeling lighter now that someone knew what we were going through. I smiled as I saw Pearl in her training clothes teaching her daughters some more drills and in amongst the four of them was her son. I loved those girls like my own and I'm sure i'd learn to love Quartz one day as well.

I want to be with Pearl, I met my mate several years past she was human and was dying of Cancer I offered her my bite to save her but she refused saying that she wasn't what I needed. I never told my pack of course so they think I'm still waiting but I have already found my mate she's a blue eyed Raven haired beauty named Pearl and I don't want to spend another moment without her knowing how I feel. This battle will be won and then I hope I can win her heart. 

I nodded my head and then made my way up the stairs to my temporary room and picked up my phone and dialled Dean my adviser because I knew my father and Beta have been wanting to get a hold of me ever since seven days ago when i announced we were switching pack lands with the England pack because they couldn't expand north anymore because of the growing Scottish pack. After the third ring Dean picked up "oh finally, you bastard left us with all this paperwork and for what" Dean shouted his anger coming through strongly and I inwardly chuckled. "I thought I should tell you I have found a potential mate and I want to be closer in case she needs help" I spoke smoothly and as evenly as I could. 

"Who is she, no never mind keep it to yourself for now I'll find out sooner or later" Replied Dean his previous aggression forgotten as joy over took his words, finally their 28 year old alpha was going to take a mate. "Tell no-one not even she knows yet and I want it to be perfect" I commanded. "Yes Alpha my lips are sealed" whimpered Dean as took on my command. I hung up the phone after our brief conversation and felt better now that I knew everything was being taken care of. I could feel myself coming alive for the fight tomorrow after which I would confess everything to the reason my heart still beats Pearl.
