It's been a very tiring day. Myself and the rest of the pack council have been going at it for a while now.
The pack council includes the experienced elders of the pack. Although the former beta, head warrior and my parents all have very high statuses, they are not fully original members of the council but thier ranks and duties require them to attend council meetings and contribute in decision making. The council is made up of most of the oldest and wisest pack members who are very experienced and have contributed greatly to the development of the pack that's why They're in a way my counsellors and when majority of them agree on something I'll have no choice but to go through with it especially when it's for the pack's betterment. I may be the Alpha but the council holds a lot of power as well.
We have been sorting out pack issues for the last 3 hours and to say that I'm worn out is an understatement. Sighing, I look at the huge clock on the other side of the room and sit up. We should be rounding up soon.
My attention is brought back to the meeting at hand when I hear one of the council members Mr Reynolds call "yes?" Was my reply and he quickly continued "we're about to round up but there's one issue that has to be addressed and is long overdue" he says and I nod my head for him to continue but he looks hesitant as he slowly looks at some other members and they all give him slight nods in return. Becoming really confused as to what is happening, I turn back to him and ask "is there a problem Mr Reynolds?"
"Well, as you already know you've been a major target for rouges and other packs since the day you were born..."
"stop stalling and get to the point everyone knows that" I say massaging my forehead running out of patience.
My parents were and still are a very strong and intimidating pair and as such, have received series of attacks from other packs and worse rouges and still came out alive and well, unlike the numerous packs they have rendered powerless after defeating all the alpha's that dared to challenge them. I'm following thier footsteps and people aren't happy about it plus I'm an Alpha female it's a blow to thier ego and so they want to bring this powerful pack down by any means and take the glory. But I won't let them.
He hesitates a bit but continues "It's about your mate alpha" my whole mood changes the moment he says that and the whole room can feel it "Hear us out alpha" another pack member mr. Carlson butts in trying to help Mr. Reynolds
"Every werewolf is incomplete without a mate and can't unluck thier full potential without one. It's unheard off for an alpha to be mateless for too long, people are already talking and what's worse is that you've rejected every single alpha suitor that's come for you. The pack needs an heir should anything happen to you..." He's cut off by my father growling and he quickly says
"Not that we're planning for something bad to happen to our dear alpha but these things are unplanned. An heir will be reassuring to the pack members that thier future is in great hands no matter what happens but you can't have one without a mate "
Mr. Reynolds decides to carry on from mister carlson "...for a wolf with alpha blood like you, a mate is exactly what you need and if mated to a high ranked mate, much better it'll make you even stronger than you are now and that will really help you run the pack better and you'll have more protection from your mate too. so many advantages"
"I feel like you're trying to convince me to buy a product" I say quite amused by thier little speech. "It's nothing like that alpha Elera we just want what's best for the pack" was Mr. Reynolds reply as he turns to another member of the council and he adjusts himself ready to speak.
I scoff under my breath. They've had it all planned out.
"Alpha Elera we've done some research and tried to find some unmated alphas from other packs who will be very beneficial to our pack if we make an alliance but the problem is that they won't be willing to give up thier pack and power meaning they will want to take you to thier own pack and be the dominant alpha between you two and we can't have that so we came up with something better" I let out a little laugh " and what could that be?" I said raising an eyebrow in pure amusement at thier efforts
"Beta..." Getting confused again I had to ask "what do you mean?"
"A beta is the next best thing! They're high ranked and don't actually have packs of thier own to rule. The perfect candidate was with us the whole time. Beta Dallen! He is unmated and hasn't picked a chosen mate, he'd be perfect for our alpha. You can announce him as you're chosen mate and perform the mating ceremonies and all will be fine. You'll have a mate that you'll be comfortable with and who already has the trusts of the pack members, bear an heir, become stronger and rule the pack better. It's a win win for everyone"
Growing annoyed I ask "how long have you all been planning this?" I am left unanswered so I continue asking "Have you even considered the people involved in this and how they will be affected? and what if I want to wait for my destined mate huh?" No one answers my questions.
Getting angrier by the second I rise from my sit " someone should speak" hitting the table with the palm of my hands I let my alpha-tone sip into my voice "ANSWER ME" I growl and they all bow, thier wolves no doubt hearing the alpha command except my parents of course they're the only ones that can resist the command.
An older member of the council speaks up "S-sorry Alpha but we've spoken to beta and his family as well as your parents and they are all fine with it and as you already know Beta Dallen's mate died before they even met and seeing as you've waited this long and still haven't found your mate, it's safe to say that he might be dead too..." Growling I hit the table again "Don't say that! I would feel it if he was dead" he immediately bows and takes his sit in submission just as I turn to my parents "You're fine with this?" I ask feeling very hurt but hiding it with an angry expression and my mum speaks for the fist time today "Yes Elera. Everything has been well thought off and we see no problem with this as we said to you the other day we just want what's best for you... and the pack"
I can't believe what is coming out of her mouth.
"What's best for me or what's best for THE PACK?! Making me mate with someone else when my mate is still alive isn't going to make me happy mother that's wrong" I yell saying the word "mother" like saying it burnt my tongue.
My father spoke this time "Enough Elera! We've talked about this long enough and it's time to take action. You are an Alpha think about what's best for the pack besides every member of the council has agreed with it so you have no choice but to go through with it"
Before he could utter another word I stormed out of the room and out of the pack house.
