‘not that road’ I’m going home! Vi: LOL You read too many Steven King books! Laura: Oh, Goddess it’s all I’ve heard about all week! Chris: But it's true!!! Jake: Don’t worry Bro, if a ghost starts to chase us, I’ll push you down and save myself! Sweetie <3: That brings back memories. LOL I giggle to myself as I feel my mate pull me across the seat and wrap his arm protectively around me. A slight tickle crossed my senses and I go back to my phone. Me: Just a reminder, pull in our auras. I’m sure the alpha here is already stressed out with all of us here. Chris: What, we’re here already??? Sweetie <3: Seems that way. Didn’t feel like we crossed a strong barrier, does it? I smirked evilly and sent another text. Me: It's because we crossed over ancient Indian burial grounds.... Kujo is coming for us! Chris: THAT IS NOT FUNNY SAMANTHA!!!! I roared in laughter as Ben gave me an approving smirk. Holly just glanced in the rearview mirror. “Do I want to know?” Frank glanced back from the passenger side. “Probably not.” He said as the car came to a stop, and he rolled down the window to speak to one of the guards. “Good evening, Alpha and Luna from the SilverFang pack.” The guard stilled slightly before he glanced in the back, looking at Ben first. The sexist asshole. “Oh. Welcome. Please feel free to pull around to the front door.” He stuttered out before backing away from the car. Slowly I felt Ben rub his hand up and down my arm. I pouted and nodded. He laughed in my mind. That made me smile wide before I leaned over and kissed him. I felt the car stop and Ben’s door open. He nodded as he got out of the car and held his hand out for me. Almost immediately I started to hear whispers. They were talking about us, or more specifically the Demon. I’m surprised my name is known this far north. As we waited for Violet and Jake’s car to stop, I tried not to be amazed at the audacity of this pack. The packhouse reminded me of a giant mansion... and all of the buildings were just.... flashy. I glanced around. Violet said as she and Jake got out of their car. Jake added. “Alpha Sam Silver from SilverFang! Welcome to my pack!” My head turned quickly, and I smiled, trying to keep my temper in check as I realized he was looking at Ben. Calm down Samantha... he is just mistaken... “Yes! Thank you for having us!” I chirped as I got between him and my mate. “Alpha Wess I presume?” I smiled as sweetly as I could while imagining slapping the shit out of him. “I am Alpha Samantha Silver of SilverFang. This is my mate, Alpha Benjamin. My Beta, Violet and my Second Beta, Jake.” I heard even more whispers from around us, many shocked and wondering if my nickname was a ruse. They better prayed to the Goddess they never had to find out. Alpha Wess tried to mask the shock in his eyes, but he failed slightly. I kept my smile plastered to my face as he started to speak again. “Yes of course Alpha Samantha! Please let me show you inside.” We followed him inside to where there were many different packs sitting around large circular tables. Many stopped talking and looked at us as we entered. More whispers. Great. “Oh yes, Alpha Wess, my brother’s pack followed us here, the Black Hill pack.” I smiled at him, hoping he would get the hint and go away. I don’t know why but he just.... I don’t know... irked me. Violet said in mind link. I glanced subtlety at the crowd, I could tell many of them were trying to look impressive, like that would sway me. Wait.... *Sit over there...* Huh, who’s that? Did I hear someone call me? I glanced over to the back of the room to a table where only two wolves sat, one was a female with long auburn hair and blue/green eyes. She looked completely lost here. The man, he had shoulder length black hair, he seemed surer of himself but still intimated. I smiled a genuine smile as I started to walk over. The woman noticed me first and stood nervously. I only smiled as I held out my hand in greeting, my white gloves keeping my silver nails hidden. “Hello, I am Alpha Samantha Silver, of the SilverFang pack. Located in Cherokee, North Carolina. This is my mate, Alpha Benjamin, my Beta Violet, and my Second Beta, Jake.” “Oh, um. Hello. I am Alpha Abigail Winters, from the Lunar Snow pack, Lowell, Vermont. And this is my Beta, Wyatt Winters.” My eyes widened. Could it really be? The pack that borders my new property??? I smiled, warmly. “Alpha Abigail, do you mind if we sit and talk for a while?” Finally, she smiled and relaxed slightly as we all sat down. “That would be great.” We sat and talked for a while, Chris came by, and he also signed a shiny new treaty with Alpha Abigail, but soon the overpowering smell of booze and testosterone was choking me. And it was only a matter of time before someone did something stupid. “All I’m saying is how the hell can a girl be an alpha???” One drunk idiot said to another. “I don’t know... I mean... they are weak!” “And soon we will have a queen instead of a king!” Another groaned. Ugh, save the pity party. Just... go away, I begged in my mind. But of course, idiots will be idiots and they decided to walk over to our table, stinking like whiskey and bad decisions. As they looked over us, they chuckled. “So, we gotz a question... how can a girl be alpha???” “How can a drunk run a pack?” Vi said, not missing a beat. “Shaddup we not drunk!” “Don’t talk that way to my mate you rat bastard.” Jake growled. “Careful Beta, that sounds like a challenge!” The other growled. “Really, a challenge?” I said, arching my brow. “You think you are a challenge?” I felt Ben’s excitement through our bond. He really gets off at me kicking ass. Maybe I should put these idiots in their place. Slowly I stood. “Three against one? You really think that’s enough?” “Bring it tootz!” They growled. “That’s Alpha you bunch of flea bitten mutts.” I let my aura start to leak out and overpower their three combined. “Or you can just call me Demon.” I said as I flashed my fangs and watched all of them go pale and run away. I never get to have any fun.
