Chapter 242
“Well, we will have to check in with Eclipse and Moon Valley and see if they have implemented your
strategies.” Alpha Reggie takes a few notes in his portfolio.
We each grab a drink and use the private restrooms to freshen up. Luna Anne has her hair and
make-up artists ready to touch me up when I come out. Once I am deemed satisfactory we head
back out to the room, where almost everyone is waiting. Alpha Brecc’s seat is empty, so he is either
annoyed at the outcome of his request or he is planning to make a grand entrance and wants to
come in after the King to feel more important.
My second assumption was right, not a minute after the King had sat down he walked in with, I
assume, his son, looking all too happy to keep us waiting. Alpha REggie was having none of his
shenanigans and started speaking to the Alphas of Moon Valley and Eclipse before Alpha Brecc
could take a seat or be acknowledged.
Alpha Reggie asked about the improvements and repairs and both Alphas spoke volumes about the
assistance they received from my pack and how well things have been going. They even thanked
me personally and asked me to pass on my thanks to my Alpha for lending the assistance and to
my Gamma and Delta for all of the help on the ground. I couldn’t help but smile at them in return,
this is why I want to be a warrior, to help those who need it. It’s not about the praise, but the looks of
pride on their faces means everything.
The rest of the day was less eventful, and admittedly more fun. Alpha Brecc avoided me like it was
his job, but there were curious stares from everyone else.
The battle strategies meeting was by far my favorite. I took more notes than I thought possible of all
the contingencies that had to be thought of for the Kingdom at large and then for each individual
pack.
Because of how our kingdom was situated with many of the packs having ocean access, our
defensive strategies varied wildly from those who were surrounded by land on all sides.
I did find out about an area of land the Elders called no man’s land that seems to not be populated
by anyone from our kingdom or the surrounding kingdoms. But there was speculation of Rogues
taking up residence there, but in hiding.
Alpha Reggie said that the other Kings and himself decided that as long as the Rogues keep to
themselves, they don’t see the harm, but the land is heavily monitored because of the recent
attacks and everyone wants to blame a Rogue.
We had a late lunch after the second round of meetings, but Luna Anne and I had to go do a
wardrobe change.
Apparently we had to wear a different outfit to each meal. I didn’t argue, because they left my hair
and make-up alone and still allowed me to wear pants. This time I was in an emerald green three
piece suit. The material looked stiff
and unforgiving, but was actually very comfortable. The pants were tapered to fit tight at my ankle
where I wore a matching green set of thick heeled booties. The vest served as a top under the suit
jacket. What made it a little extra was it was made like a halter-style corset. It fit tight and gave my
figure even more definition than I actually had. The bottom of the vest wrapped around my low
back, again leaving most of it exposed if I chose to take off the fitted jacket.
This time Xander did make me take a photo with him, with and without the jacket, before we even
went down to the ballroom. He didn’t even hesitate to fire them off to the guys. Which resulted in the
both of us laughing at their responses through the whole of lunch.
I The final meeting we attended was with the Elders and the warriors connected with the safety of
the Royal pack. This room is smaller with a long rectangular table to seat the couple dozen people
allowed in the room.
