The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 6: Preparing for Alpha Drake

Alpha Blain POV

After hanging up the phone with Alpha Drake. I felt relieved at the fact that he would be arriving on my territory ahead of the alpha meeting scheduled for the following week.

Alpha Drake is the leader of the biggest and strongest pack in existence and having him on my territory will be beneficial in the event of anymore attacks.

We might also be able to work together in figuring out what it is the rogues want and why?

It’s time to make arrangements for the arrival of Alpha Drake and his men, I think to myself.

“Come to my office son, I have some matters to discuss with you.” I mind-linked Declan.

“Yes father.” Declan replies.

I also mind-linked Isabella to meet me in my office at the same time.

15 minutes later and there was a knock on my office door. “Come in” I said.

The door opened and Declan walked in followed by Isabella. They both took a seat in the chairs across from my desk.

“You called for us father?” Declan asked.

“Yes son, i just got off the phone with Alpha Drake from the Crescent Moon Pack.” I said before continuing “ He will be visiting the pack tomorrow ahead of the Alpha meeting that’s scheduled for next week.” I finished telling them.

“Why? He’s such an arrogant a*****e!” Isabella asked with irritation clear in her voice.

“That’s enough Isabella, watch your tongue.” I command before continuing. “After I told Alpha Drake about the most recent rogue attack, he offered to come and assist us in figuring out what the rogues want and how to neutralize them.” I said.

“We really don’t need his help father, we can handle a couple rogues.” Isabella said still clearly irritated, before I could reply she continued. “If he shows up barking orders at me or anyone else in this pack, I won’t hold back father, be warned.” She said defiantly.

“Isabella you will be on your best behaviour. any disrespect and I won’t hesitate to punish you.” I told her with anger lacing my words.

I ran my hands over my face trying to calm down before I continued. “We need help Isabella, the attacks are getting worse and your lucky nothing more serious happened to you and Clair when you were attacked yesterday. You aren’t invincible. If anything happens to either of you I don’t know what I would do.” I said to them with a defeated sigh.

“I understand father.” Declan said and paused before he continued. “I don’t like having another Alpha on our territory, but I understand we need to work together and eliminate the threat for the benefit of all the local packs.” Declan said and I nodded my head.

I look over at Isabella who rolled her eyes, but was smart enough not to push me, she kept her mouth shut. I know better though. She’s going to be a handful while the alpha is visiting. I’ll have to make sure to keep a close eye on her.

“Well father, I’m at your disposal, what ever you need me to do, in preparation for the Alpha’s visit, just let me know.” Declan said to me.

“Thanks son, can you talk with the head maid and have rooms prepared on the second floor of the pack house for the Alpha, his Gamma and three warriors?” I asked Declan.

“I’m on it father, anything else? Declan asked while standing up.

“No, that’s all for now.” I told him with a small smile.

“Isabella stay behind I want to have a word with you alone.” I said to Isabella.

“Yes father.” She said as Declan left the room shutting the door behind him.

“I don’t want you venturing out into the forest by yourself, Isabella. It’s not safe with the rogue attacks happening more frequently.” I told her with a heavy sigh, knowing that she won’t just accept my order without a fight. That would be too easy.

“Father I can handle myself, specially against a couple smelly rogues.” She said with frustration clear in her tone.

“That’s an order, Isabella.” I told her using my Alpha command. She doesn’t say anything further just sit in her chair glaring at me.

“That’s all, you can leave.” I said with finality.

“Fine.” She said to me with frustration, she stood up and left my office, slamming the door behind her.

My alpha command doesn’t really work on Isabella or Declan for that matter, they possess a more powerful Alpha aura than I do, because of their heritage. I’ve kept their heritage a secret from them to protect them. Their mother was part of the royal family, she was the lone survivor when the royal kingdom was attacked and wiped out 25 years ago. She was the daughter of the Alpha King and no one knew she survived the attack, but me. When my mate died that left Isabella and Declan as the last two werewolves in existence that have royal b***d running through their veins. No one knows this except for me and that’s how it will remain. I don’t need targets being painted on the backs of my children. Other packs would want to get ahold of them because of their heritage, to either destroy them or in Isabella’s case, mate with her for strong future heirs.

Even though my command doesn’t work on Isabella, she usually obeys. I know it’s because she respects me as her father, but even more because she respects me as the pack leader. She knows that I only do what I do in the best interest of my family and pack.

Don’t get me wrong, Isabella still tests me sometimes, unlike Declan who is easy going and good at following orders, Isabella has a will of her own and I literally don’t think she has control over her mouth.

I almost pity the poor soul that ends up being her fated mate. I chuckle inwardly. Don’t be mistaken, I love my daughter dearly and want to see her happy, but she’s a handful and it’s gonna take a seriously strong, dominant man to tame her beast. The exact kinda man she is constantly ranting on about not wanting as a mate. I know first hand how difficult she’ll be, given that she’s a spitting image of her mother, my deceased mate.

I inward cringe as I think back to when I met my mate. That first year was a challenge that’s for sure. Her mother was a dominant female and we clashed hard until we eventually started figuring out how to work together. I can only hope that Isabella will figure that out with her mate too.

Isabella POV

I left my fathers office in a huff. How dare he tell me not to enter the forest alone. Gosh, I’m not a kid and I can defend myself. My wolf needs to be surrounded by nature. Telling her not to do what her natural instant want, is setting us up for failure. Of course I know my father has good intentions, he’s only looking out for us. Therefor, I’ll try my very best to obey him.

As for this stupid Alpha Drake that’s arriving tomorrow, shoot me now. The last thing I need around me is another dominant, arrogant asshat thinking he’s above everyone else.

“ Watch your tongue.” I think back to my father’s order in his officer. That’s gonna be a hard one to follow, I know that already. I inwardly face plant, I’ll just avoid that clown at all costs. I’ve heard the rumours and he’s the last man I want to be hanging around.

I mind-link Clair and ask her if she wants to meet up and do a little training.

I figured blowing off some steam might make me feel better about this Alpha that’s coming. I hope he’s not planning on staying long.

Clair replied that she was gonna meet me on the training field in 30 minutes.

I head back to my room and pull out some black leggings and a yellow sports bra from my dresser and get dressed. I slip on my white runners and attach my dagger holster to each of my legs and I’m ready to get training.

I’m a serious killing machine with my daggers. My father started training me with them when I was ten years old. Since I didn’t get my wolf till I was 16, my father wanted to be sure I could handle my own even without a wolf. He made carry them whenever I left the house. After I got my wolf, I still liked to train with my daggers. I rarely leave the pack house without at least one strapped somewhere on my body. You just never know when you might need a dagger. What can I say, most girls like wearing jewelry, I like wearing deadly jewelry in the form of daggers.

I left my room and headed for the training fields. Its only been 15 minutes since I mind-linked Clair, but I figured I could do a little target practice with my daggers while I wait for her.

The training field were empty, most warriors would be done for the day or at the dinner hall at this time, so it gives us a little peace and quite to train.

I set up a target on a large tree trunk and practice with my daggers. I’m so accurate with my throws that there’s only one slice mark right in the middle of the bullseye. Once I was satisfied with my target practice, I holstered my daggers and toss the target in the trash. As I was cleaning up, I spot Clair walking up to me with a big cheery smile on her face. Classic Clair i think and roll my eyes.

“Hey girl! What happened that you need to blow off steam this late in the day? Clair asked. .

She knows me so well, whenever I’m frustrated I like to come and beat things up, It just helps. What can I say, violence is my release since I don’t replace any of the male werewolves around here interesting enough to pursue for a s****l release. Therefor, training will have to do.

Don’t get me wrong, I may be a virgin in the meaning, but a girl still has needs and so far my pink little energizer bunny (aka Bob, my vibrator) certainly hits the spots when I need a release. Best part is Bob doesn’t talk back. I’m not a prude, I just don’t need any clingy werewolf thinking I’m gonna warm his bed while he’s out fighting the war.

“You know me all to well.” I said to Clair with a sigh.

We start sparring and I told Clair about the meeting I had with my father and his most recent rules he set in place for me.

Clair chuckled knowing just how much I love rules, Not.

I told her about the Alpha arriving tomorrow and her eyes grew wide. We’ve all heard the rumours about Alpha Drake. He’s suppose to be a massive beast. Something like 6’6 tall and build with nothing but muscle. Rumour has it he’s ruthless and doesn’t tolerate disrespect, he’s suppose to be quite intimidating and scary. Great I think to myself. I’m more of a, you earn my respect first before I just give it to you, kinda gal. That might be a bit of a problem.

“Oh my goddess, what does he want with our pack?” Clair asked still wide eyed.

“I guess after my father told him about the rogue attack on us, he offered to come and help. My father is hopeful they can figure out together what exactly the rogues want.” I told her.

“Well Bella, I love you like a sister and don’t want to lose you, don’t take this the wrong way, but stay far away from this Alpha if you don’t want to die.” She said with a nervous chuckle while shaking her head from side to side.

“Hey now, I’m offend. What makes you think I can’t play nice with the big bad Alpha?” I asked while batting my big doe eyes, hand on my heart, with a fake shocked look plastered on my face. Clair just chuckled.

“This is gonna be interesting.” She said.

We finish up our training and head back to the pack house. I’m drenched in sweat from a good round with Clair.
