Chapter 6 The meeting room

Nicklaus's POV

I stood in front of the mirror, getting dressed, when the Beta walked in. "Greetings, Alpha Nicklaus."

"You don't need to be that formal, Martins. So, tell me, are they here?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes, Alpha. The top members are waiting in the meeting room."

"I see." I adjusted my tie, then I noticed the expression on his face. "Is there something I need to know before attending the meeting?"

"Some of the elders are not pleased with your engagement to the first daughter of the Silver Moon Pack."

"I knew it. They should be happy my mate is an Alpha as well. She is strong, a warrior, and most importantly, both tribes will be at peace. Let's go." I ordered, making my move, and he walked behind me.

As soon as they noticed my presence, they all remained calm and showed respect.

I took my seat and when they moved to sit, I stopped them. "Did I give the go-ahead for you to sit?" I questioned.

"We are sorry, Alpha Nicklaus."

"Just joking. Wanted to liven up the room. Please, have a seat." I could smell their fear. I don't really understand why they fear me so much, but it's all good.

"So, before we commence with today's meeting, is there anything you wish to say to me?" I questioned.

"Not at all, Alpha." None of them seemed to connect the issue with me. I guess there's no need to dwell on it.

"Are you sure? I am your Alpha. You can tell me about any problems you are having, and I will do my best to solve them." I urged them one last time, but they still said nothing, so we proceeded with the meeting.

One of the wolf guards walked in and whispered in the Beta's ear before leaving.

The Beta came close to me and also whispered, "A lady is here to see you, Alpha."

"A lady? Go and find out who she is and get back to me."

"I will be right back." He took his leave, and I kept wondering how a lady could muster the courage to come here and see me without an invitation from me.

I continued with the meeting, discussing recent happenings, and providing solutions. They all celebrated with me, then Martins returned.

"I will be back, everyone. Carry on without me. The maids will soon be serving us drinks for a job well done," I said, and they felt happy.

I walked to the lobby with Martins. "Who is she?"

"She claims to be your mate, Alpha. She also said you are expecting her. Should I let her in?"

"Hold on, she said what?" I rarely get angry, but the fact that someone is claiming to be my mate is unacceptable, and I won't tolerate it.

"She said she is your mate, and you made a mistake by engaging her sister, Alpha Tracy."

"What's her name? Is she Tracy's younger sister?" I inquired.

"Her name is Miss Gabrielle, and she is the younger sister of Alpha Tracy."

"Martins, I want you to escort her out of this building and warn her sternly. I never want to see her here again. Understand?"

"Yes, Alpha. I will do that right away." He said, taking his leave to inform her.

I still can't believe the Alpha's youngest daughter has no shame at all. Rumors have it that she's flirtatious and sleeps with different men. It's impossible for her to be a virgin. My mate is a virgin.

I thought about that night again, just to be sure.

I finished getting dressed for my birthday party. The party planner suggested it should be a masquerade party so that other tribes could attend and it could also be a way for me to find my mate.

I loved the idea, and a strict rule was created: no one is allowed to reveal their identities to each other, just have fun and leave.

In the men's restroom, Martins met with me, and I gave him a simple warning, “Martins, I know you always like to protect me, but tonight, I want you to also have fun.”

“I am not allowed to have fun, Alpha. It’s my duty to watch over you. If there are truly other tribes here, then I must never leave your side. What if they try to harm you?” he said with concern. This is one thing I love about Martins. Yes, he is my Beta, but I also consider him my friend. I don’t really have friends, and even my schoolmates from back in the day are all scared of me.

Martins has dedicated his entire life to protection, but tonight I must not deny him any fun at all. “Martins, as your Alpha, I command you to have fun with the ladies tonight, and I will do the same. No arguments.” I wore my blue dragon mask and left the restroom.

I took a glass of wine and watched everyone having fun. I think I love this party more than yesterday's. Everyone is here, and the vibe is incredible.

My eyes landed on a pretty damsel. I got carried away by her steps, and my wolf named Lethal got excited, saying, “Our mate is here. She is here. Finally, we are going to have a mate, and our pack will become stronger.”

“Lethal, wouldn't it be weird to call her 'mate' in a place like this?”

“If it’s weird, then approach her like the gentleman that you are and not like what the rumors say about you.”

I approached her, and I could feel my heart about to jump out, but I had to control myself.

It wasn’t easy trying to get her attention, and during the dance when we kissed, I desired her even more.

I noticed she got shy after the kiss. Maybe she doesn't like parties, so I suggested taking her to the guest house close to the club. I doubted if a little drink would make her tipsy, so this is not me taking advantage of her. I also became intoxicated; I actually had some strong whiskey before coming to the party. I turned off the lights immediately.

Knowing she wants me as well, we ended up in bed, and I kissed her slowly, taking off our clothes. I made love to her, and it’s the best memory ever.

Waking up the next morning, I thought she must have left. I didn't get to see her face last night, but I will this morning.

I saw the moon mark behind her shoulders, and when I tapped her to see her face, she covered herself with the blanket. When I took it off, she had already left.

If I wanted to catch her, it would be easy, but I allowed her to run. At least I saw the markings on her face and back, so it’s easier for me to find her and propose marriage to her.

I noticed blood stains on the bed as well. Oh no, she is a virgin. I took her virginity the wrong way. She will probably be sad about it. I guess I was a bit tipsy myself not to know. No wonder she was so tight.

I left the guest house with my Beta, and seeing him smile, I knew he had a lot of fun last night.

“Martins, which of the tribes bears the moon marking that glitters like silver?” I questioned immediately after we got home.

“That would probably be the Silver Moon Pack.”

“You mean our rivals bear those birthmarks?” I asked to confirm.

“Yes, Alpha, but it is common with royals like the Alpha himself or his children or relatives. Is there a problem?” he asked with concern.

“Not a problem but a solution. Find out about the Alpha's family.”

He nodded and left. The following night I received feedback saying the Alpha has two daughters. The first twin is a powerful warrior and hardworking, while the second youngest twin is an Omega that can’t shift. Everyone hates her as well because she is a flirt and loves sleeping with different kinds of men.

“Martins, send luxurious gifts to the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. Tell him I wish to marry his daughter, and it will also serve as a peace offering for both tribes.”

“I will get the best gifts, and also, do you think the elders will buy it?”

“I am the Alpha and I make the rules. Lastly, now that I've found my mate, it’s time for you to introduce me to yours. You better start finding your mate.” I tapped his shoulder and left with a smile.

“Alpha Nicklaus, I have sent her away. The elders are still waiting.” Martins said to me, bringing me back to the present, and I walked with him to the meeting.

A new matter came up as well. I was told that the Nightwalkers will be seeking an alliance with us because they were recently attacked.

The Beta quickly informed me that they were at the gate, and I gave him the order to let them in.

A few moments later, after the meeting, the maids served the drinks. But I noticed a particular maid who was totally different from the others, so I stopped her, “You, stay. Others, leave.” They all obeyed and left.

“Who are you?” I questioned her, and she looked a bit frightened. She avoided my eyes as well.
