My fated alpha by Natalie novel Chapter 8

Hayden

Luke was growling and it took me a great deal of effort to stop him from lunging at Garron. I didn’t want more trouble.

Charlie threw me a look that said he was going to talk to me about whatever Garron had said. Well, I had known that I cannot really keep things away from them, but I hadn’t expected Garron to show up all of a sudden.

He usually steered clear of my pack and my territory and as much as he loathed me, he wouldn't show up just to goad me.

The look that had passed between him and Raine was also bothering me. Nevertheless, I could talk about that later.

Right now, I walked into my office with Garron in tow. I ensured that all my pack members were well out of earshot. If Garron was going to be nasty to me, I didn’t want the others to hear it.

I would deal with him my way.

Leading him inside, I asked him to sit on the chair opposite my desk. I turned around and closed the door on Charlie’s face who was staring at me from beneath the tree.

I mind-linked him just to be on the safe side, “Don’t barge in unless I ask you to, which is never going to happen. Just trust that your alpha can take care of himself on his own.”

Before Charlie could even respond, I closed both the door and the mindlink.

Garron was looking around with an amused smile as he asked, “Pretty neat office you got here.”

I placed both my hands on the table and asked him, “Stop beating around the bush, tell me why you are here.”

His face contorted in annoyance as he responded, “I am here to do my duty as the alpha of the Black Forest pack. I am officially inviting you and your pack members to the ball which is going to be held next week….you know…to help you find your Luna.”

There was a distinct twinkle in his eyes as if he was trying to goad me. I had not found my luna. But, I had made it pretty clear from the very beginning that I wasn’t interested in finding one.

By now, every she-wolf in the north knew about it. So did Garron.

“I accept your invitation, anything else?”

I asked again with a pointed look. I didn’t want him even a second more in my territory. But he only leaned back on the chair and smiled.

Rubbing his temple with one hand he added, “Easy there, alpha. You need to learn some basic courtesy to show to another alpha who is at your door. I come in good faith.”

Flipping a file open, I pretended to not listen to him and just began rummaging through the pages.

Seeing that I wasn’t paying him any more attention made him feel a little annoyed. Luke particularly enjoyed seeing him squirm but I ordered him to stay silent. Thankfully, he listened.

“Well, that’s not the only thing I wanted to speak to you about. I went to meet Alpha Jack and the other alphas from the southern territory last week to invite them for the ball.”

“And?”

“And, they asked me to help them train their new recruits as well as current warriors.”

“Then why don’t you?”

I replied without looking up. I knew what he was trying to avoid speaking, but if he wanted my help he had to ask for it.

Swallowing his pride, he added in an awkward voice, “They want you to train all their new recruits as well as help polish their betas’ and gammas’ fighting strength. They think they are getting lazy.”

Luke grinned in my head and I asked him to shut it. I couldn’t deny that I loved the situation myself. Garron had come to mock me in front of my pack members.

But, he was pleading with me to make him look good to the others. Suppressing my smile, I replied,

“If they are, in fact, getting lazy, I cannot help them either. I would not waste my time training those who don’t want to be trained. I have better things to do.”
