Chained By Her Alpha Novel – Sitting back in my seat, I remind myself that four more hours and the annual Alpha meeting would finally be over, and I can go home. Well, as long as Dad doesn’t force me to go to the ball and babysit Lydia. Dad loves to drag me to these silly meetings, even though I find them boring. Mostly, they just argue or boast about their latest business affairs.
The meeting is held in the main part of Nightshade City, which is neutral territory. All the packs are on the outskirts, surrounding the city. So, it makes sense for the city to be a neutral ground because otherwise, movement within the city limits would be restricted. All five packs rely on it not only for business to thrive, but also to keep supplies coming in.
I’ve spent all my school holidays in these sorts of meetings. Despite literally nothing important happening in them, my father has still insisted I attend even though my stepmother volunteered to go in my place. Dad, however, wasn’t having it, lecturing that I needed to learn the ropes of running a pack and how these meetings are a big part of it.
I guess I am an accessory, and I’m one step away from becoming his fanny pack at this point. I’m already his notetaker, calculator, mediator, and coffee maker. He might as well just hand the pack over already.
A few of the other Alphas have brought their sons and daughters. It is strategic on their parents’ part, a way to strengthen alliances through marriages.
However, I had no such interest, and it is clear I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t interested in parental antics. The only person I will marry one day is my mate, if I find him or her, that is.
I often wonder what my mate will be like… who my wolf will choose… if I find my mate before Deacon marks me, that is. One part of me is conflicted if I should wait a year to see if I find my mate. Deacon wants to mark me once I get my wolf, we’ve been together two years but occasionally, I am not so sure. Finding my mate, that person who was made for me, sounds so exciting and enticing.
