Running Bride

40. New Alpha

Grayson's POV

Next morning was beautiful, because my mate was sleeping peacefully in my arms. Sleeping beauty. I saw her face gained little pink colour. Her breathing sounded normal to me.
I just continued to stare at her with mixed feeling. Happy feeling because I was lucky to have her as my mate. Sad for so many reasons....

She was still sleeping....

She had enough crap during her stay in Bluestar pack. I can't imagine what she went through when all those harsh things happened to her. Will she accept me ? My wolf? Being my mate? Or my pack? I was worried about so many things.

Calm down, just be positive. Things will fall in place. My wolf tried to change the direction of my thoughts

I wonder what it would feel like talking....
Making her feel happy...

her smile...

walking side by side..

eating together..

Hugging her...

And other stuff we would do together.
Just imagining made me feel so good. I remember our conversations and closeness from last day of mating ceremony. I wanted hear her smile once again.

I could continue whole day watching her but I need to do my alpha duties as well. With heavy heart, I left her in that hospital room. A breakfast meeting was scheduled with old alpha of Bluestar pack. I didn't feel like eating still, I needed to clear this whole situation so that I can go back to my pack. Without an alpha, a pack becomes target of rogues. Rogues killed just for fun, destroyed families, pack just for fun. I will never allow that to happen.

Henry was waiting outside Hospital, he told me that old alpha was waiting for me. He led me towards a small house.
Their old alpha was waiting outside the house, "Hello Alpha, Nice to meet you. I am Johnson. Father of dead alpha Gabriel." He spoke with a sad smile. He was behaving very polite with me who killed his son.

"Hello Johnson, I am Grayson alpha of White Moon pack." We did a handshake."Sorry for your loss. It was needed, hope you understand." Sorry my foot, but I was trying to be polite.

"Don't feel sorry. He deserved that." I raised my brows, wasn't expecting this kind of response from him.

"He was your son, wasn't he?" Any father would feel bad.

"He was." He paused. "You can say, we were not in friendly terms. I never liked the things he did."

"An alpha always cares about pack and people's safety, with or without title." He was worried about his pack.

"I agree."

"You killed last alpha, now this pack is yours. When you are planning to claim title for this pack?" Johnson asked.

"I want you to accept alpha title on my behalf." Everyone was shocked to hear this except Henry. We already discussed.

Johnson told me about Gabriel. How he use to enjoy killing witches, rogues.  Punishing his own pack members for small small things. Pyne, Johnson's another son was planning to challenge him for  Alpha  title. To sum  it up, Everyone was very happy that he died.

I told Johnson that I don't have any intention to be alpha of Bluestar pack. A pack without alpha will become rogue's target, no one want that. We both refused to take the title. I remember Pyne whom I met during mating ceremony party. We both agreed and decided to pass the title to Pyne. But he didn't have much knowledge about handling pack.

We decided that Pyne will under go alpha training in different packs. Till then, Johnson will take care of the pack, in case of any issue he will connect with me. I promised to provide support, till Pyne complete his alpha training. Pyne will come to White moon pack and start training under me, then he will go to different packs for different kind of training.

Now we needed to inform everyone in Bluestar pack about this. In the evening, Everyone gathered for pack meeting. I told them what Johnson and I had decided and announced Pyne as their future alpha.

Pack members happily accepted this decision. Which made me think again, how bad Gabriel was as an alpha?
Looks like everyone became very happy once he was out of picture.

On the other side, I felt relieved to know that he deserved that, not just for my personal reasons.

Now everything was in its place. My pack members and I were free to go.

When I reached hospital, Serena informed me about my mate's health conditions. Pack doctor gave heads up to move her. All the arrangements were done. In two days, my mate will be in our pack. Our territory. My pack members  will always take care of her. I don't need to tell them, they know how long I have waited for her. How much she has suffered. Thought of having her in safe environment helped me a lot to relax and sleep.
