Slaved To The Alpha

“Ha ha, very funny… I know that you know that I will be the one hosting this stupid Annual Pack Gathering, I was forced to host this stupid excuse of a party, you were lucky that you weren’t even forced to come.

“But you are forcing me to come, which literally contradicts your statement.” He sounded amused, but I had to convince him somehow, I need to be able to get him here as soon as possible, before anything bad actually happens.

“I know I know, but I really need your help. I’m not exactly comfortable with wolves from other packs that I don’t know and trust, handling security. But with you stationed here, I know that the party would be in safe hands.” I really need him at the party, I am not okay with just anyone tasked with the most important role with the whole Annual Pack Gathering.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Fine, I’ll be there in ten, just make sure to get everyone stationed at the border, and all of the security crew out, so my men would feel welcomed.” Again, he was sarcastic, but I was actually grateful that he agreed to come. I don’t know who else I could turn to regarding this matter. Now I just have to wait for them to arrive.

To my surprise, Ralph and his crew arrived at the party after almost hanging up the phone call. Their entrances were quite bizarre for a security team, I knew that professional because I think that they are the best of the best, no one, no other team will beat them when it comes to security, but I never thought that they would be performing at this level, even how they arrive at the Annual pack gathering is very professional.

They were all in tuxes, with matching shades, And their walk, they’re all so coordinated with one another, I don’t know how they do it, but they always look like they’re always in sync together. At some point while they were approaching me, they actually looked like they were walking in slow motion, they were the epitome of cool and professionalism, the security they were going to replace looked pale in comparison to them.

Besides, I already know how Ralph and the team he put together for the Annual pack gathering is gonna do, they are going to be perfect, and nothing will go wrong. I’m confident about him and his team. Ralph himself was looking like the actual host of the event, the beard, a couple of wrinkles on his forehead and cheeks, and a nice suit.

“Hey! Ralph! I didn’t think that you would be this fast.” I was amused by him and how fast he was able to arrive, just almost after calling him earlier. I felt like a child at some point, idolizing a man with a great sense of self, I don’t know how he would actually respond, I sounded like an ignorant fan meeting his hero for the first time. But I’m not that type, I just couldn’t believe how good they actually are even before meeting his team.

“Ralph!” I kept waving and shouting at him until he noticed me, and long story short, he then went my way with a smile on his face.

He shook my hand and chuckled. “Look at you, hosting the Annual Pack Gathering, how does it feel?” He was still sarcastic, but I wasn’t exactly amused by his question even though I knew that he was just joking.

“Yeah, I feel stupid for even going here in the first place, but I feel stupider since I’m actually worried about how the event will turn out, even with some of the guests arriving already, and I see them smiling and actually having fun, I’m not one hundred percent sure that everything will go according to plan, and that plan is to keep everyone happy and safe. That’s my top priority at the moment…” I said what I wanted to say, even if he makes fun of me actually being concerned about the well-being of the guests attending the party, especially since my mother is here, I want to make sure nothing happens to her.

“Anyways, have you got your staff to move? I’m gonna get my men familiarized with the layout, then we’ll go to our positions, is that alright?” He asked me in such a way that it made me respect him even more, I think I’m just too caught up in him and how professional he is.

I just nodded my head and he and his team just went to the patrol, my guess is that they’re trying to find any other possible ways to get in besides the front entrance and the back door. I trust that they know what they’re doing and what they’re looking for, since they would be responsible for everyone’s safety tonight.

After watching them leave, someone tapped on my shoulder, the hand felt smooth and soft on my suit. When I turned around, it was this beautiful woman, wearing a dark green colored dress, it was Letizia, my mother. Even if she is old, nothing could take her natural beauty away from her. She was actually standing out in the party, she knew this as well, that’s why she was feeling lighthearted when I saw her, but I suspect something else is behind her smile.

“Okay Grant, I know that you don’t like what I said, what I want you to do, but I know that it must be done, because it is what kept us going for generations.” She dried to beat around the bush, but I already knew where she was getting at, I was hoping that she wouldn’t push this on to me.

She was excited as well, she looked like she could jump to space, she was looking at all the girls going past us and wondering inside of her head if any of them would be my bride to be, my soul mate. But all of that is just fairytales, which I know isn’t true even in the slightest.
