Hey everybody,I know it's been a hot minute but I got up the next chapter as soon as I could. Hopefully I'll have chapter 16 up soon.Enjoy! ^_^
“I’ll explain it later.” I told her.
“Well, I see you are more than capable of taking care of yourself,” Alex came over beaming. “I’m proud of you. Little Zurie all grown up.” He laughed making me blush; which made him laugh even more. Did I mention that he was my godfather? Yea, he was a pain in the neck.
After a moment he began to speak again. “Ok, on to other important matters. By your father’s orders these guards are now under your control. They are to guard you with their lives; if they fail that order then they are as good as dead.” He was very matter of fact about it. “So, with that being said…” He waved his hand waving them over. “Consider them one of many birthday presents.” He said with a wink.
One by one they all stepped up. There were fifteen of them, both men and women. They formed a line, shoulder to shoulder at military “Parade Rest”. One of them stepped up and stood at attention and began to speak.
“From this day forward, we pledge our services and our lives to serving you, our Alpha. We vow to protect you from any and all harm. We vow to follow all orders given by you, lest those orders endanger you. We follow no one’s orders but yours. You are always top priority. If we fail to keep our vows and harm befalls you, we willing accept any and all punishment given.”
I didn’t know what to say. One by one they bent down on one knee, their fists over their hearts and their heads bowed as they stated their names.
“Alexis”, “Rico”, “Lex”, “Matthew”, “Matin”, “Kya”, “Tim”, “Na’tya”, “Tony”, “Demarcus”, “Gabriel”, “Toya”, “James”, “Patrick”, “Tina”
“One this day we make this vow and shall fulfill it until our last breath.” They said in unison.
“Oh man that is so cool” Eric said.
“Wow” said Dekota.
“Well damn!” Jerome said.
“Awesome!” Jean exclaimed.
“Wait a minute, where in Sam’s Hell are all these damn people going to sleep?” Tiffany asked.
“How are we going to feed everybody?” Natalia asked.
Ignoring Tiffany’s and Natalia’s questions for the moment, I looked over the men and women kneeling before me. “Wow” was all I could say. Lani was preening at being recognized as Alpha. She could feel her blood filling with power as she accepted the position. She was the closest thing to an Alpha here so it wasn’t much of a surprise.
“Uhm, you guys don’t have to be so formal, you can get up.” I told them. When they didn’t move I frowned.
‘Well so much for following my orders.’ I said sarcastically and pouted.
‘Oh yea nice way to ‘order’ them’ Lani laughed. ‘You’re an Alpha now, grow some lady balls. This is just practice for when you become Luna for Cameron’s pack. You’d better get with the program quick.’
Before I could reply to Lani’s comment, Alex whispered in my ear. “They won’t move unless you accept their vow and services.”
“Well that’s just stupid.” I whispered back, but I knew that everyone most likely heard me say that. I hated formalities, it was such a pain and very irritating, but sometimes it’s necessary.
