Chapter 0334
When we finish showering, Eli calls Alpha Rik. He wants to meet, but I have Eli put him off. I haven’t even settled into this environment, and I don’t know what to expect from those two Alphas. They seem to have expectations of me as a Guardian, and I’m not ready for that yet.
When he’s done, he takes my hand, and we go in search of Carlos. We arrive at a door that is cracked open and we hear raised voices coming from inside.
“I don’t care that he’s back, this pack is mine!” An unfamiliar voice yells.
“And I told you before, you are not Alpha here. You do not make the rules and I will not step aside for you to ruin everything that we have built.” I recognize Carlos’s voice. It is strong and unwavering. Eli made a good choice making him Beta, wolf or no.
Eli walks in without knocking. “Is there a problem here?” He asks.
I take in the room. Carlos is standing behind a desk. Three other men are in the room, standing around his desk in an intimidating stance. The leader turns and looks at Eli.
“You’ve been gone for too long. You are no longer Alpha here.” He says to Eli.
“Is that so?” Eli says and I feel his aura push out. Once again, I have to wonder if he has Alpha blood. His aura is stronger than any Beta I have ever met, and I met a lot when I was a child.
I watch the other man flinch when Eli’s aura hits him. Eli steps up to him, getting in his face. “I’ll be more than happy to accept your challenge of my position as Alpha if that’s what this is.” Eli says in a quietly menacing tone.
The man looks from Eli to me. “Big words from a man who can hide behind a Guardian.”
I scoff. “Why would he hide behind me? He’s obviously the stronger fighter. I have no doubt he would put you down easily.” I say, letting this man know that there is no question in my mind that Eli could defeat him on his own.
“So, what’s it going to be?” Eli asks him. It would be impossible for him to not be intimidated by Eli. Eli stands nearly a head taller than this guy and is at least four inches wider at the shoulders, and that’s not even talking about his muscle mass. Eli is all hard muscle. This guy looks like his only exercise is when he lets his wolf
run.

“Fine.” He turns to his friends. “Let’s go.” He says and they begin to file out. He tries to shoulder check Eli as he passes, but it ends up back firing as Eli doesn’t budge and I watch the guy flinch from the contact.
When they leave, I reach over and close the door. Carlos sits heavily in the chair, running his hands over his face. “This is what I wanted to talk to you about.” He says, looking at Eli.
Eli pulls a chair out, standing behind it, waiting for me to sit. When I do, he takes the seat next to me. “So, talk.”
“There have been rumors of several wolves who plan to vie for the position of Alpha. You’ve been gone a long time and I’ve been able to fight some and maintain the peace, but without a wolf, I can only do so much. Christopher isn’t the only one.” He says motioning to the man who just left.
“How many?” Eli asks.
