Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 182
Katya POV
Andrei called me and told me the news last night. What I wasn’t expecting was a call from him at lunch time to say Dominic had interfered and he was behind all of it. How the heck did he manage that within a few hours of the Alpha meeting.
Andrei told me of his demands and I was half tempted to go through with it. From what I heard of this Clive from Andrei it made my blood boil.
Andrei said to look for any dirt I could find on him, and I had already petitioned for the laws to be changed not even an hour later was it rejected saying I needed support from other Alpha’s. Sitting at Ezra’s desk, I combed through the pack laws looking for anything that could help.
It didn’t matter what I found though, I knew Dominic would find a way around it. He was dirty and he didn’t like that he was supposed to answer to me now. I never said he had to step down. Either way he would have some role in the packs. He was Alpha of Alpha’s, I never wanted his title to begin with, but the moment things got out about Jackson’s pack the rumours started and he obviously felt threatened. He can keep his title, none of us want it anyway we were well and truly above Alpha’s of Alpha’s. We weren’t taking anything from him, we were just adding a new title to the mix, one higher than his. If he didn’t challenge me in the first place we wouldn’t be in this mess.
“Still no word from Seline?” Ezra asks, walking into the office. I hop out of his chair and he sits down before I plonk back down on his lap.
“No, she will come when she isn’t busy. I feel she is hiding something from me though”
“Like what?” He asks, resting his chin on my shoulder.
“ I don’t know, she has become more distant and her answers have been shorter, or more cryptic” I tell him.
“ Since when is that anything new, you know she likes to speak in riddles”
“I know, but it’s different. I don’t know last time I saw her she looked tired” I tell him which was really strange. Seline always had this certain air around her, she was always glowing and looking perfect but lately it was like something was haunting her.
“Who knows, maybe confront her, you are
technically a Goddess now and her prodigy so why not demand answers?” He says and I sigh. He taps the book in front of me.
“Exactly what are you looking for?” I shrug “something that will help I guess, have you actually read this, I don’t think any laws have been updated since the l8oos” I tell him looking at some of the ridiculous laws.
“Nope, I just know the ones that we actually use now”
“Well did you know it is illegal to ride a horse backwards, up a main street?” I chuckle.
“What? That can’t be real?” He says, turning the book and looking at it.
“Yep real and it’s right there” I tell him pointing to it.
“Oh here is another stupid one. It is illegal to possess 50 kgs of potatoes” Ezra laughs.
“Who would want 5okgs of potatoes?” I tell him, shaking my head.
“Probably someone with a taste for homemade Vodka. From the prohibition maybe” Ezra chuckles.
“And here is another, Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons. I think you’re right these laws are severely outdated and some are utterly ridiculous” he shakes his head.
“Yes, I think someone actually needs to go over and amend some of these, like this one for instance. If a man finds their mate and the mate is underage, you have a right to take them, apparently to preserve their maidenhood to ensure purity” I tell Ezra and he scrunches up his face.
“Maybe flick through the newer laws, where did you even find this?” he asks.
