Alpha Blake
The Crescent Moon Pack

It was close to the afternoon when we arrived at the Crescent Moon Pack. We were greeted by their trackers and warriors right away as we neared their territory.

Of course, they sensed the scent of Blake as an Alpha, and greeted him with outmost respect vowing to him. He greeted the men and introduced Selene as his luna.

"Alpha Blake, we have been expecting you. Welcome to our pack. Please if you will follow us, we will direct you to our pack house. Our alpha is waiting for your arrival." One of the guards spoke.

"Thank you gentlemen. May I present my wife, and luna of The Primords Pack, Selene Landon." He said, as he wrapped his arm around Selene, the gesture sending her in a bright blush.

All men vowed to her without making eye contact of course. They knew quite well to never look a Luna in their eye. The Alpha's were particularly territorial about their luna's. Eyeing their Luna

"Alpha Blake, Luna! It is an honor to have you with us. Please, follow us. We will take you directly to our pack house where the other two packs are waiting." One of the warriors said to Blake as they gestured the SUV to follow.

Blake gave the order with a simple hand gesture for his driver to follow them. Although they were in friendly territory, he never let his guard down. Specially now that Selene was by his side.

"Stay close, but stay alert." He said to his men using his alpha tone. All men nodded, and continued on their way.

They made their way on the dirt pavement trail, passing endless matured trees and houses that belonged to members of the Crescent moon pack.

As they neared the pack house, they could see kids and members of the pack rummage around as any other day. Blake felt the warmth friendly atmosphere the Crescent moon offered.

They nodded as they passed and vowed as they glanced over at the SUV seeing Blake and Selene inside.

He looked over, grasping Selene's hand and gripping it tight. She smiled back at him, she felt so proud of the respectful aura he gave around everyone.

The car stopped in front of the pack house, it was a massive mansion, with three stories high, huge glass windows all around, and ship lap walls in a gray and white tone. It was quite marvelous to look at, but Selene had to admit, their pack house was much more beautiful.

She took pride in the beautiful gardens and flowers Blake had sent to add around the house and all around their territory at her request, making it feel more pleasant and beautiful for all women in her pack.

For her, the pack house was not just a large lavish mansion, but her home. One where she hoped to grow old and some day see her own pups run about.

The vehicle came to a stop in front of the cement paved corridor. He exited the vehicle, gesturing his men with his hand to stop as he made his way to open her door for himself.

Blake went over and opened the door for her, offering her hand to step down from the vehicle.

As she made her way out, they were greeted by the other leaders of the pack, the Crescent moon alpha, and their lunas as well.

"Alpha Blake, so good for you to finally join us." Alpha Steward said,

"We didn't expect you until later. But I'm glad to see you are prominent and punctual. You arrived early, just like you said." Alpha Stewart said, giving Blake a firm shake.

Steward, was the alpha of the Crescent Moon. By him stood an old friend of Selene, Caleb, her beta in the team she belonged to when working for Colonel Coelhelm. They took a quick glance towards each other and acted as they were strangers meeting for the first time.

By their side stood their Luna Macy. She greeted Selene with a tight squeeze. Even though it was their first time meeting, Selene felt unease with the way they were greeted. She returned the gesture greeting everyone as they met for the first time. Including Caleb. They greeted each other as if it was their first time seeing each other.

Blake was not fooled never the less, he'd investigated the whole thing without her knowledge. For more the reasons, he knew to keep on guard. He had trackers, warriors, and guards set ready to attack at any given time, if it was needed.

"Steward, good to see you again." Blake answered.

"I'm so glad you accepted my offer to meet here. It was an honor seeing you at your wedding. I really wanted to pay you back for your great hospitality, I hope you replace your stay here pleasant and warming." Alpha Stewart responded to Blake.

Blake nodded, placing his hand in Selene's back. Sending shivers down her spine. She flushed at his touch, his own hand feeling the eminent spark between the touch of their skin.

She glanced at him, a smile forming in her gaze as he winked at her. She took a long sigh before reverting her gaze towards Macy.

Luna Macy looped her arm around Selene, pulling her towards the house. Selene glanced over at Blake. He nodded towards her, letting her know it was ok for her to follow.

"Blake, do I have to?" She mind linked him, he chuckled as the two women walked towards the house. Selene looking back towards him.

"Go on darling. We will join you inside in a minute." He mind linked back at her. She groaned a bit, but did as he asked.

Blake's men got off the vehicles and joined them as the women went inside.

"Come now Selene, let me show you to your room. I presume you'd like to freshen up? After you do so, I'd love for you to join me to finish preparing for lunch." Luna Macy told Selene.

"Of course. I'd love to be of help. And thank you for your hospitality. " Selene responded.

Macy smiled as she made her way up the stairs. She stopped in front of a double door entrance.

She opened the two doors, allowing Selene to enter after her. The whole room had a gold and blush regal decor. Everything beautifully elegant.

Two young man came after them, placing Selene and Blake's luggage in the entrance.

"Luna Selene, if there is anything else we can do for you. Please, do not hesitate to ask. We are at your service." One of the young men said as they both vowed to her.

"Thank you gentlemen. That would be all for now." Luna Macy excused them.

"Luna Macy, this is a beautiful room. Thank you for allowing us to stay here for the time being." Selene said.

"Oh, honey, call me Macy. The whole Luna thing makes me feel so old. Besides, I'm sure we are about the same age, right?" She asked her.

"I suppose so." Selene smiled.

"Very well, I'll leave you to it. I will send someone in a few minutes for you so you have time to freshen up." Macy said as she left the room, closing the doors behind her.

She made her way towards the luggage, noticing that Blake's luggage was a bit heavier. She picked it up with just a bit of struggle, placing it on top of the bed.

Slowly, taking her time, she took his clothes out, placing his suits neatly inside the empty walk in closet. Putting everything away carefully.

She then continued to do the same with her belongings. Although they were only there for a week, she wanted to make sure everything was ready to their disposition.

As she was folding her clothes putting things away, she heard someone clear their throat. She was taken back, startled, she jumped up. She looked over, noticing it was James, her old partner and other alpha of Colonel Coelhelm's elite team.

"James? What are you doing here? Why are you in my room?" She glanced angrily at him. He leaned on the door way with his hands crossed.

"Well, it's good to see you too Selene. Or should I say, Luna Selene, is it?" He sneered. He had always been serious and rarely spoke a word. Having him here in her room made her a bit uncomfortable though. Things were different now, she was married and Luna of an allied pack.

"Again, what are you doing here James? You have nothing to do in my room, so if you'd excuse me, I need to freshen up before my husband comes in." She said as she unfolded a dress she was thinking of changing in to.

His eyes turned dark, and his gaze filled with anger and lust. He clenched his jaw as she walked towards the ensuite restroom.

"Is this a way for a Luna to greet an Alpha? May I remind you I was superior to you with our team, and still am now." He sneered.

"I don't know what you mean. But I do know you have nothing to do in my room. My husband will be here shortly, so if you will excuse me?" She said.

He unfolded his hands, and just as he was prompt to walk towards her, he heard a loud growl. He was taken back, glancing over seeing a very pissed off Blake behind him.

Blake cleared his throat, Selene felt embarrassed at the situation she found herself in.

"Who are you? And why the fuck are you in my room bothering my wife?" Blake snapped at James.

James took a step back. Glanced at Selene and then to Blake. "My apologies," he said as he vowed his head a bit.

He offered his hand for Blake to shake. "My name is James, I am the new alpha to the Blood Moon Pack." He said, Blake glanced at him.

He clenched his jaw tighter, his eyes going darker, his hands folded before his chest, "That didn't answer my question.... why are you bothering my wife?" He asked trying to maintain himself from launching at James.

"Darling, alpha James was just wondering how our trip was over here. He wanted to personally come and greet us." Selene lied, trying to ease her husband's anger.

"There was no need for him to come and bother you. Alpha James, you could have been a gentleman and waited until I was present to address my wife, or waited until our luncheon. I don't appreciate you bothering my wife." He said angrily to James.

"Yes, of course, my apologies Alpha Blake. I do hope I have not startled you Luna. I will be on my way. I do hope to spend a pleasant time here with our packs, since we are here to sign our peace treaty between our packs after all."

James turned on his heel and proceeded to take his leave. Seamlessly grazing Blake's shoulder. He was intentionally trying to bump into him, except Blake was unmoved, James was taken back by the strong force Blake maintained. Flopping back as he bumped into him.

Blake was enraged. Taking James by his shirt tossing him against the door. He placed his forearm against James throat, making him startled. Selene jumped up, he knew this didn't look good for James.

He may have been good at his job, being a professional exterminator. But he was no match to Blake.

"I see you around my wife again and it will be the end of you. Do I make myself clear? I don't give a shit that you are an alpha, no one... but I mean no one intimidates my wife. Do I make myself clear?" Blake whispered in his ear.

James gave an evil smirk, looking at Blake in his eyes. Although he was taken back and felt intimidated, he was not going to let Blake know he was being over powered.

"Crystal." He says, gazing his sight from Blake's eyes to Selene.

Blake let go of his hold on James, tossing him out of his room towards the hallway. James fixed his shirt, giving an evil cackle and walked away.

Blake made his way to Selene, she hugged herself. Embarrassed from the confrontation before her eyes.

"Blake I'm sorry, I thought the door had been closed. I don't know how he got in."

He pulled her, embracing her around her shoulders. He took a long endearing sigh, kissed her on her head.

"You know, for everyone's sake, I better not have to ripe his fucking head off. It be a shame to leave one of our allied packs without an alpha." He smirked as he said it.

"Blake, I'm serious. I don't want to cause any problems. Maybe it was best I didn't come." She said, regrettably.

"If I brought you here is because I wanted you to meet them. Alpha James is new, he's power hungry. Alot of alpha's go through this their first year. He just needs to be brought down from his cloud of pride and arrogance. "

"Are you sure it's a good idea for me to stay? Ty and Jazzy are almost here. I can always go back home with her." Selene insisted.

"Look, if things get out of hand here, which I hope they don't. I will make sure you and Jazzy are kept safe. No one will touch you, not when I'm around. Ok?"

"Blake, I'm not scared of being threatened. I'm used to that... what I dont want is for this peace treaty between our pack and theirs going wrong because I'm here."

"Enough Selene. You are not going home. Your place is by my side, Understood?"

She sighted, giving him a small smirk and kissing him on his lips. "Yes alpha!" She teased, making Blake chuckle.

He reassured her he'd try and compose himself. Maintain a level head, and control his temper. But he left the fact he already knew who Caleb and James were. Something told him, James had more up his sleeve.

He closed his eyes to avoid Selene knowing he was mind linking his guards.

"The new Blood Moon Pack alpha is here. Something tells me he is bad news. Keep an eye on his people, and follow his every move. We need to stay one step, if not two, before him."

"Yes Alpha, we'll keep an eye out."
