He is also the one helping me with the expansion of the city. I’m looking to purchase the surrounding land all the way to the mountains, and the red tape is a pain in the ass to acquire supernatural council land and human towns.
“Axton.” Marco nods, pulling out the chair beside me.
“Stupid thing, it’s broken. Says my fingerprint isn’t reading,” Derrick snaps in frustration, bringing everyone’s attention to him.
“Eli, go look at it for him.”
Eli huffs, but Derrick slides it over.
“For now, read off Thomas’s,” I tell him.
We review the twelve attacks for the next three hours before stopping for a break and returning.
When we do, we move onto the development of the city. Bringing up the maps, Marco starts taking down the list of surrounding towns and the map locations.
“You can’t purchase that area,” he says, tapping the screen.
“What? Why not?” I ask him.
“Privately owned.” He shrugs.
“By whom?” I demand. Great, this is just what I need.
“A new pack. Paperwork went in yesterday,” Marco tells me, highlighting the next part.
“A new pack?” I ask him, feeling that we now have everyone’s attention.
“You know they have a week of anonymity,” Marco answers.
But I know if a new pack registers, he will know who they are. That is his job in the council.
“When?”
“The land has always been privately owned. It just transferred hands to the Alpha. That is all I can tell you,” Marco tells me.
“I need that land,” I tell him, knowing we already have plans for it.
“Well, in a week, you can speak with the Alpha.”
“You’re seriously not going to tell me which pack moved here?” I snarl at him, and even Khan comes forward, knowing how close this new pack is to the borders.
Marco shrugs. “We are friends, Axton, so I can assure you it is not a rival pack to yours, but a new one.”
“Can you at least give me the pack name, anything?”
Marco shakes his head.
“So what? You’re going to make us wait a week before we find out who the new Alpha is?”
“Yep,” Marco answers, smiling, showing off a little of his fangs.
He’s never been one to hide them, though I can see he’s getting a few nervous glances from the others.
“We can just go out there and meet him. Nothing stopping us from paying a visit.” Eli nudges me.
Marco chuckles. “Yeah, he’s a top guy. Met him a few days back.”
I raise an eyebrow at him.
