Alpha's Second Chance

NOAH

Enzo and I are stepping into The Dark Forest Pack territory, and it's my first time here. Dad had been here a few times over the years, but I had never been with him. Mom had not been back since she had fled from here with Uncle Matt and my grandpa. I asked Dad about it, and he told me Mom had too many bad memories.

"King Noah And Beta Enzo. Welcome to The Dark Forest Pack." Alpha Carter says as he meets us outside what I assume is the packhouse.

"Thank you, Alpha Carter," I answer.

"It is an honor to have you both here. Your rooms for the night are ready. And I will show you the bag containing the books and scrolls." Alpha Carter tells me as we are on the Alpha floor of the packhouse.

"That sounds good, thank you, Alpha. We appreciate the corporation and help." I tell him, and he bows.

"The last thing I want to happen is something like what happened to your mother's family. Back then, I did not have the power to help. But I do now, and I swore that I would not let my father's way of rule become mine." Alpha Carter says, and I nod my head.

"I know, and Dad and Mom consider you to be a friend. A well-respected friend. I am here to protect my mate from having to live in fear, and maybe the scrolls can help her, too." I tell him.

"If she can, I am happy to know they will be used for something good," Carter says as he shows me the door to the room that is mine for the night.

"My daughter is not here at the moment. She is traveling to visit some of the packs we have an alliance with. Looking for her mate.” He explains, and I nod my head in understanding.

"It is all good. I wish her good luck," I say and smile.

Alpha Carter bows, and I go into the room where I am staying for the night. Alpha Carter had not had it easy, and his mate died giving birth to their only child, their daughter. He had raised her on his own, refusing to take a chosen mate. It had also raised questions about who would take over when he stepped down as alpha.

He had raised a request to Dad about letting his daughter take over if she wished to. After long talks and consideration, Dad gave his approval. Many Alphas had not been happy about it, but Dad didn't care about that. He said as long she could protect their pack, he saw no problem with letting her rule. And he reminded them about that Mom had beaten several of the Alphas in the tournaments. And that our race's creator was a woman as well.

Enzo mindlinked me shortly before the dinner was being served, and I left the room to meet him. We walked down the stairs in the packhouse, and wolves curiously looked at us.

Alpha Carter came out from a room and bowed his head.

"Perfect timing. Let us go sit at my table," He says and leads us into a big dining hall where many wolves are waiting on their seats.

Whisper broke out as we followed Carter to his table and sat down while Carter kept standing up.

"As many know, and others now see, we have company from The Royal Blood Moon Pack. King Noah, who I know everyone has heard the story about, and his Beta, Enzo. They will be here at Dark Forest Pack for one night. I expect everyone to show the respect they both deserve and to show who we are as a pack." Alpha Carter says and sits down.

Wolves from the kitchen came in and put food on the tables for people to take, and it looked delicious. We began putting food our plates and started to eat. Halfway through the second plate, the door opens, and a group of three women come in. Carter ignores them even though they are trying very much to get his attention.

The first woman huffs but then sets eyes on Enzo and me, grabbing the two other women who are younger than herself. I see her eyes go into a mindlink, and the same thing happens with the two different women. The two women look at us and plaster on what they think is a sexy smile.

'Trouble on the way.' I mindlink Enzo.

'I see it.' He answered, tired.

The two she-wolves came over to the table, standing on the other side, smiling at

us.

"Ann, Kelly. Leave. Do not bother our quests." Alpha Carter says, but they ignore him.

"Your Highness, it's such an honor to have you and your friend visiting. If you would wish company for the night, we will be happy to be at your service." One of the women says.

"Ann, don't insult the king. Leave." Carter growls.

"But Alpha, we just want to take good care of them." The woman Ann says.

"You can see that we are both marked, so do not be rude and suggest that we would cheat on our mates. Do as your alpha says and leave us alone." I say with just enough of my power for them to feel it.

"Yes, Your Highness, we are sorry." They say and leave. And we finish our food before leaving with Alpha Carter.
