Aspen's POV

"Let's begin"

Alpha Jason stood at the other end of a large, round table facing my father. Following the attack on Sage and the other warriors, we had realised that the situation was far more dire than we previously imagined. Our warriors in the east had also suffered from a harsh attack, leaving us unable to defend ourselves and too many bodies to burn. It seemed though, that we weren't the only ones suffering. When my father had written to the alpha of our enemy pack, SKyfall pack, demanding blood for the alpha's son entering our territory, the alpha had explained that they too had been under rogue attack. No excuse for entering our territory, but an explanation that could pacify my father, for now at least.

So here we were, in a large cabin in neutral territory, trying to manage a common enemy.

My father also got to his feet.

"Yes," my father said, trying to hold the disgust from his voice, "but first I think your son should come forward."

Alpha Jason nodded curtly, his eyes hard.

I saw the man on his left get to his feet. He had the kind of face that made girls swoon. His dirty blonde hair was shorter on the sides, and he blue eyes were like ice. He was wearing a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and faded black jeans. I could see his muscles bulge against his fitted clothing. Everything about him radiated power and sex appeal.

I met his eyes and quickly looked away.

What was wrong with me? He was my enemy, good looking or not.

I could see the corner of his mouth twitch ever so slightly and I felt my anger burn inside. He walked round to our side of the table, maintaining his composure. Most people would have been trembling at the sight of my father, but not this guy.

Cocky much. Perks of alpha blood.

I saw him swallow his pride as he lowered himself down to one knee. Someone with a sense of humour might have thought it was a proposal.

Ouch.

I could almost feel how hard it was a fellow alpha blood to kneel before another. You had to respect him for being able to.

"Alpha Quill," I heard him say.

Even his voice was sexy.

"Stop it Aspen." I said annoyed at myself.

"I'm sorry for entering your territory. It broke out established rules and was a an act of aggression and defiance. It was careless. I ask for your forgiveness."

I was so close to him that I could reach out and touch him, and wanted to. I could feel the hairs on my arms stand up. It was like every [art of my body was reacting to him, even if I didn't want it to.

My fathers eyes remained fixed on his.

"Thank you, Cole." He relented.

Cole.

Cole slowly stood up, meeting my father's eyes. A small nod passed between them. He walked back round to where he had been sitting and sat back in the chair.
