Opposites Attract

Chapter Twenty Nine

Tarkik's POV.

With all the leaders from each pack together, I had not even thought of how awkward and uncomfortable it would be. Some of the wolves were shifting their paws as they glanced around. The werewolves were fidgeting with their hands and looking to Chase for guidance, but he could offer none.

Sunna decided to shift to make the werewolves a little more comfortable. I eyed her clothes skeptically. She continued to itch her arms every now and then, so she did not seem used to wearing clothes anymore. However, from her shivers and the way she sat closely to me, I could also tell she needed them to stay warm.

Should we get started? She asked me and looked around at the odd pack.

Well it's only going to get more awkward if we continue to wait for no reason. I remarked.

She turned and glared at me. Thanks, smartass.

I shrugged. You asked. She just shook her head at me.

"As you all hopefully know, I am Tarkik and this is my mate Sunna, your Alpha and Luna," I started to get everyone's attention.

Sunna stifled a laugh. Amazing introduction, my mate.

I growled through the mindlink and ignored her. "Hopefully by the end of this we will have a mostly organized pack. For now, let us just start with introductions." I turned to Blade who was right next to me.

She raised her chin, showing off her confidence. "I am Gamma Blade."

"I am Beta Honey," Honey, who was next to Blade, said quietly and did not even look up. My worry for her has continued to grow more and more each and every day.

Leap glanced at me, allowing me to see her uncertainty for this situation. "I am First Theta Leap."

"I am First Theta's mate and my name is Crack," the wolf next to Leap said.

"I am First Kappa Petal."

The next in line was a very nervous male werewolf, fortunately his mate saved him. "I'm First Omega Julie and this is my mate Adam."

The blondie came next. "I'm First Delta Quin."

"And I'm Gamma Chase," my almost brother stated.

"Wait, what are we going to do with the duplicates?" Petal asked, her frown showed off her unease.

I shook my head. "For now, we can just focus on-"

"Should not we sort through the leaders first? No disrespect, Alpha, but we are the leaders of the pack, we should be the most organized," she interjected.

I swallowed a growl and sighed. "I suppose you are right. What duplicates do we have?"

"Only one," Sunna said with surprise.

It's like fate wanted us to become a pack... the leaders from each pack fill the missing roles of the other pack.

"The gammas," my mate muttered.

"I'll step down," Chase said and looked at Sunna.

Sunna sat up, "hold up, we haven't even discussed it."

Chase shook his head at Sunna. "There is nothing to discuss. I have little to no experience. I am not as strong as her. In every situation, she would be the better option."

"No." Everyone's gaze turned and looked at Honey, who now stood tall with determination in her eyes. "You both have unlimited potential. Chase, you may be right about everything you have said, but you are still a strong leader. Blade, throughout my time with you, you always find a way to surprise me with all your talents. I have come to realize that without... Ram by my side, I will do no good for this pack as Beta."
