My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 14

“Lord, that concludes our report” One of the five men who sat at the forefront said, with the

remaining five standing, respectively, behind each one of the seated ones.

Mats waved with fresh green grass with purple streaks on them, and were spread all over the floor

where they sat comfortably. As for the one before them, his seat differed from theirs. A massive boulder

chipped to form a great throne, decorated with various ornaments and stones which glowed thanks to

the illumination brought by the night sky. He had two men close to him, serving as his aid. One of them

stayed by the right hand side of his throne, while the second stayed behind the throne, a small distance

away.

“I see, so the Hunters have started making their move. Interesting, very well then. It appears we’ll

have to send a message to them sooner enough.”

The seated ones nodded their heads in affirmation, agreeing with their lord.

“Gerund, your pack will take the lead on this one. From the report, it appears they intend on

striking from the east, which is the territory of your pack. Gather the Warrior units, enough to send a

small message to the trespassers. Give your ‘Gamma’ the order to dispatch the available ones and

lead them himself. As the Alpha of your pack, I’ll leave the remaining details to you”

“Understood” The one called Gerund responded.

“The rest of you should remain on high alert. There is a possibility that this is merely a ruse and

their aim is to cause misdirection and strike somewhere else while our focus is fixed on a single spot.

That can not be allowed to happen. We must be vigilant, as is our nature.” The Lord said.

“Understood” They all responded.

“Order your signalers to be extra vigilant, and the Guardians should take more care in their duties

as guards to the pups. Hunters should move carefully and should prevent straying from the path and

wandering too far.” He added.

“Also instruct your Betas to supervise the domestic and trivial matters while you deal with the more

pressing affairs. I believe we have an understanding…?”

“Yes Lord” They all answered.

“Good. That is all, you are all dismissed” The Lord said, waving his hands to signal they should

leave.

“M-My Lord… There is one matter we have yet to address.” One of the seated ones said, the

oldest looking one among them.

“Oh? And what’s that Benson?”

“Grand Alpha, Lord Asher… It is a matter that has shaken the entire Tribe of Oregon Woods. The

members of the packs all seek an answer and we the Alphas also have the burdened question within

us…” The Alpha, Benson said.

“Spit it out Benson… My patience wears thin” The Grand Alpha and Lord, Asher, commanded his

Alpha subordinate.

“My Lord… It concerns your bride and mate… What are your plans for the Grand Luna?”

Suddenly Asher’s eyes turned bright red as an ominous feeling swept through the Alphas who sat

and even the Betas who stood behind them. They felt the cold winds of winter blow harshly, their

bodies shivered and shook due to the pressure he exerted from his throne.

With a glare, he laid his eyes on Benson, the man who spoke concerning a gnawing problem

which plagued him and disturbed the very structure of the pack, threatening the balance within it.

“The Grand Luna… You dare ask me such a question?” Asher said in a low tone, but his

undertone depicted danger. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“N-No, my Lord. I just wanted to…” Benson stuttered, trying to defend his earlier statement.

“Just wanted to know what?” He asked, still glaring at the elderly Alpha who shivered at the sight

of his Lord.

“N-Nothing my Lord… I apologise for my impudence” He let out in defeat, unable to withstand the

pressure of intimidation which the King exhibited.

“My bride will be ready before the next convergence. That is all you are required to know. Any

further… contributions?” Asher said, narrowing his eyes.

No Alpha spoke as they all bowed their heads, too afraid to meet his gaze.

“Good. You are dismissed.” He said.

Within the blink of an eye, the Alphas had vanished from their positions, alongside their aides, the

Betas.

Seeing as they had all gone, Asher let out a deep groan as he stood up from his throne and

clenched his fist in anger, leaving the remaining two subordinates to clean up the scene of the meeting.

They both looked at each other meaningfully and understood their Lord’s frustration and seething

emotions.

Asher was the Wolf King, the Alpha of Alphas, the Grand Alpha and Lord over the entire Oregon

Woods. As the youngest Grand Alpha in all of history, his position was never challenged due to his

ruthless nature and immense strength which easily trumped the other Alphas, even as he was just 23

years of age.

However, the biggest problem he faced, one which threatened the hierarchy of the entire Werewolf

Community he ruled… Was his lack of a mate, his other half, his Luna. Without one, he would still be

recognized as an incomplete king. As one who had achieved the pinnacle of his entire Tribe and race

within the borders of Oregon, he lacked the most vital, most crucial piece of his existence.

As he walked back into his cave where he liked to stay and think, he couldn’t help but replay one

of his Alpha’s questions in his head. A question he couldn’t even properly answer.

“Damn you Benson!” He said with gritted teeth.

Now, with only three weeks to the next convergence, Asher needed to show his bride to the

Alphas. The only problem is… He didn’t know where to find her.

The frustration and anger of having something denied him provoked and irritated him beyond

words and expression. Only one thing, one question rang through his head.

“Where are you… My Luna?”
