Isaiah POV
I’m looking at Niall. He looks like he is trying to keep his nerves at bay. I’m sure it’s intimidating for him to be in my office and have two betas flanking him. I put the guy out of his misery, though.
“As you know, we have been evaluating warriors for Lead Warrior and Gamma.”
His eyes widened, and he looked at Aric and Adrian and then back at me. Now he is fidgeting in his seat. “Ye…yes, Alpha.”
“Tell me, what do you think of Brent and Sloane?” I asked. I did it on purpose to fuck with the guy. He doesn’t need to know just yet. Adrian’s lips are twitching, and Aric’s eyes are full of amusement.
Poor Niall, though. The light seemed to extinguish from his eyes a little. It’s okay, they will light back up in a minute.
“Both are excellent warriors and would be great additions to the ranked team, Alpha,” he said politely.
“Great. I will have them brought into my office shortly and offer them the Lead Warrior roles.”
Niall’s head cocked to the side. “Roles?”
“Yes. We want to make them lead warriors. We couldn’t make a final decision without asking our future Gamma his opinion,” I smirked.
“Future Gamma? You mean, you want to make me Gamma?” he asked.
The three of us smiled and chuckled. “Well, yeah. Do you want the job?”
Niall practically launched himself from his seat. His eyes were full of happiness, and a huge smile spread across his face. “Yes! Yes, I want it, Alpha Isaiah. I won’t let you guys down, I swear!”
“Very good. I’m glad to hear it. It won’t be easy, and this pack has a lot to fix. After Adrian leaves, it will fall on the three of us to run this pack and to keep the warriors in line, Niall.”
“I can do it, Alpha. Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity.”
“You earned it, Niall. Well done,” I said. “Now, I need to call in Brent and Sloane. I wanted you to be here first and see them both be offered to the position as a united, ranked team.”
I mind-linked Sloane and Brent to come to my office, and while we waited, I started talking to Aric about my upcoming departure and planning a ceremony for Niall to be accepted at the Gamma. Niall is unmated, so if he finds his mate, then she will be the Gamma female. Aric still hasn’t found his mate either. Who knows what will happen there?
After a few minutes, both Brent and Sloane come in. “Welcome, guys, time for the hot seat. Please be seated.”
Both of them looked scared, but they noticed Aric and Niall, and they relaxed a little. Interesting. “Are you more comfortable knowing that Beta Aric and Niall are here?”
Brent spoke first. “Honestly, they don’t seem upset. I know how both of these men look when they are upset, Alpha.”
I raised an eyebrow. “You’re an observant one. Good. What about you, Sloane?”
“I agree with Brent. But Niall isn’t ranked, so I’m guessing we are here for an assignment?” he questioned.
I smiled. “Yes, an assignment of sorts.”
They sat a little taller in their chairs, ready to take their marching orders. I smiled. This is exactly what I want. I want a team that knows how to be a team and will follow my lead.
