“I would prefer that you remain in the room for the time being,” he stated candidly, and he genuinely preferred it. “Please,” he added.
“You cannot confine me.” “It is unjust,” she asserted bluntly.
“I shall not be, merely for today.” “Kindly remain in your room should circumstances escalate.”
“How am I expected to consume food?”She retorted, her arms crossed over her chest. She glared at him, and he recognised her disbelief, yet refrained from expressing it.
This space lacked a kitchen. She was correct; she was probably en route to the lower level for lunch. “I have repaired that door; please ensure it is locked. I will send up some lunch for you,” he stated before exiting the room. Undoubtedly a vexing day.
The meeting with the Crescent Moon Pack was intriguing. As soon as Addison entered his office, she was completely enamoured with that Beta, her eyes filled with admiration, while Caelan’s father remained silent, merely observing his daughter’s conduct.
Beta Ruby refrained from any encouragement, merely standing with his hands in his pockets while Addison leaned against him, smiled up at him, and touched his chest and face. Ruby smiled at her as she caressed his face, and all present observed Addison nearly dissolve into the man, closing her eyes and softly sighing to herself.
To Caelan’s astonishment, his mother requested Beta Ruby to initiate a call to his brothers and instructed him to activate the loudspeaker. He accomplished precisely that, even informing his brother, Rhett, that he had discovered his Mate. As a triplet, she captured the man’s full attention and promptly called for their other brother, Leon, to answer the phone.
Dana was the first to respond to the man’s voice, approached immediately, and touched the phone. Her gaze was fixed upon it, her head inclined to the left; when Leon referred to him as a fortunate individual, Zoe audibly moaned at the timbre of his voice, and abruptly, the two of them were clustered together. Ruby was simultaneously interacting with his phone.
Indeed, it is highly probable, colleagues. Both gazed up at Ruby after he ended the call, sorrow evident in their eyes; he smiled and assured them, “I will bring them for you,” yet did not prevent them from turning to their mother, appearing as though they had lost the most significant thing in their lives.
They had issued an invitation to the mating ball, and Ruby had sought her Alpha’s consent to accept it. It was improbable that he would prevent his Beta from asserting his claim over his mate or from allowing his pack to acquire three alpha-blooded females. His Alpha acquiesced without objection.
His mother guided his sisters out of the room. Despite their reluctance, Ruby merely stood and smiled, appearing content to await his Mate until the occurrence of a full moon. Caelan was intrigued by that, but chose to disregard it. A completely new alliance must now be established, one dedicated to safeguarding the triplets, ensuring their safety, so to speak.
Their current meeting was postponed until after the next full moon, as there was no advantage in discussing all the details only to revise them within weeks. Consequently, the decision was made to maintain their existing alliance until that time.
His final meeting of the day was with Alpha Luka and his Beta, Arthur. Their coalition had indeed originated from the Wolfen Council itself. Alpha Luka operated a highly proficient law firm specialising in contractual law, and the Wolfen Council sought an independent third party, unassociated with Caelan, to draft contracts concerning the non-allied packs to Caelan utilising his new airline. Caelan did not object; it was a prudent decision, and he had no choice in the matter. In the absence of the third party, his business was unfeasible.
Caelan was required to convene in the Wolfen Council chambers. Caelan was astonished by Alpha Luka’s size. He believed he was tall at 6 feet 6 inches, but evidently, he was mistaken. The man noted that both he and Mason were astonished by his size. Merely smiled at their dilated pupils.
They needed to review all the particulars with Alpha Luka’s legal team. He remained for the entire event. Caelan anticipated details regarding the controversy and complexities surrounding non-allied packs utilising the airline, including regulations and compliance, aimed at ensuring the safety of both his crew and the travelling wolves.
The potential altercations mid-flight and on the ground at the terminal, should rival groups utilise the same flight, posed a logistical nightmare that required over a week of negotiations. Insurance and punitive policies govern all matters, and two council members were present in the room throughout to express their concerns or exercise their veto power as deemed necessary.
After everything was resolved to the satisfaction of the Wolfen Council, a formal business alliance was established between his pack and Alpha Luka’s pack. However, following the renaming of his pack, new documentation was required; it was merely a formality. Caelan could easily envision Alpha Luka being perpetually engaged in alliance meetings at this time.
He was in the process of signing his name when Alpha Luka remarked, “Your Artist?””
“What is her status?”Caelan gazed directly at the man while Mason sighed and signed the new contract as a witness.
“I would like to commission my Beta to create portraits of our Mates; specifically, I desire one of my Mate alongside her wolf.”
“That can be organized,” Caelan affirmed. He perceived no issues with it whatsoever, to be candid.
“I would also like my entire Alpha Unit accompanied by their Mates.” To enter my pack-house foyer.
