Page 32 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 1

Alpha Eric didn’t look surprised in the least, but I about fell over. Princess Luna Haley sat back, “I am sorry that happened to you. Betrayals are hard to get over. I speak from personal experience.” Sophia looked started, “I know. You made me tell you that?”

Princess Luna Haley nodded, “Yes, I filtered out your deceit. Your treacherous Gamma is the reason you backed out on the annulment?” Sophia put her head in her hands, “We are putting data together on those who were involved. He won’t tell us, but we have a list. I need to be sure because I love my pack. My father loved these people, and so do I. I can’t banish someone or sentence them to die without proof. I appreciate your offer for help, but I want to do this on my own.”

The Princess evaluated her, “Fine, but what I said earlier stands. If Alpha Chase’s mate sheds one tear over you, I’ll kick your fucking ass until you’re purple and blue.” Sophia snorted, “I’m not easy to take down.”

The Princess responded, “I’m not just a fairy. I’m a Hackura Princess. Only Eric, my brothers, or my father could stop me if I was truly angry. If Alpha Chase’s mate is hurt by this in any way, I WILL be FUCKING pissed off six different ways past fucking angry. Get your shit done quickly, Alpha Sophia.” Her threat hung in the air.

She casually added, “By the way, an annulment is quiet. No one would even have to know you and Alpha Chase weren’t together. That’s just a thought from my genius mind that people tend to ignore. I’ll pop you two things back to your office. I am hopeful we won’t have to another chat because I REALLY do want you to join our girl gang of bad asses.”

Her gaze turned deadly, “Unless you turn out to be a treacherous bitch, like Claudzilla and Chrisassty Then I’ll take you out. Alpha Chase will have his own head decorating his office like my husband and my lion do.” Sophia stared at her in surprise.

I linked Alpha Eric, “Head decoration?” He replied, “It’s even fairy charmed. If you try to move it, it zaps you and her voice yells at you that you can’t move it.” Sophia shook her head, “I’m not like them.” Haley didn’t seem moved by her declaration.

She said, “I’ve been lied to by the she wolves before with that line, so you’ll just have to prove it to me. I truly hope you aren’t. I hope I can tell my daughter to look at you as an example one day as a she wolf who took her rightful place in her pack. Speaking of…”

She conjured a bunch of papers, “If anyone wants to get popped home, you will sign this lovely proposal my husband put together.” I smiled at her then signed my name. Sophia admonished me, “Chase, you didn’t even read it!” Bolt growled at her in my head.

I glared, “I already know what it is. It’s a proposal that any first-born female, particularly Beta’s and Gamma’s, are allowed to take over those positions as is her birthright if she wants. That the strongest warrior in the packs can be female or male. Females should be given the option to participate for the lead warrior position.”

Alfred and Sophia gaped at Haley, while Matt and Derrick immediately signed the proposal. My dad shuffled into the office and signed it too. He shot me a wink before he left, “I heard the growls and the sounds of bodies hitting the wall. I was too entertained to leave.” I teased, “Who could blame you? We all were.”

Sophia signed the proposal, followed by Alfred. He looked up stating, “I don’t like how you treated my Alpha, Princess.” Haley replied, “I don’t like how your Alpha is treating Alpha Chase and by extension someone I love.”

She leveled him with a glare, “To be perfectly clear, I don’t give a shit about you or Alpha Sophia. My friend has been on my side since I met her. She was there for me when I didn’t even realize it. She picked me up at my lowest, and now I stand here with my mate more loved and happier than I have ever been. She has saved my life on more than one occasion. I want her to find the happiness I have because without her those small steps I took to regain myself wouldn’t have been taken. She and my family put me back together.”

She stated, “I would kill your entire pack for her. My loyalty is unwavering once earned, and Alpha Chase’s mate has it unquestioningly. Don’t push me, and don’t you DARE hurt her. I’m being nice because you are Eric’s ally.”

Alfred stepped back in shock. Sophia snarled, “Don’t threaten my pack.” Haley retorted, “It’s not a threat. I’m straight up telling you I will do it. No one fucking listens to me, Eric.” Sophia glared at Alpha Eric, demanding, “You should tell your mate that’s not how allies talk to each other. She’s your Luna.” I linked her, “Are you insane? Have you literally lost your mind?!” She glared at me.

Alpha Eric spoke, “Don’t tell me how to handle my mate. She’s the one who convinced me not to dissolve our alliance, so I’d watch yourself. I don’t like people who go back on their promises, Alpha Sophia. It makes me feel like I can’t trust them. You’ve been doing it since you took over, not just to me even. To everyone, and we all are losing patience with it.”

He glanced at me then added, “You don’t have your mate yet, so you don’t know what you’re doing to Alpha Chase. I do. If someone kept me from Haley, I’d kill them. Hell, Ididkill them. I slaughtered them in droves without blinking. Alpha Chase is a better man than I am because I’d have killed you and taken over your pack by now.”

He ordered, “Stop acting like a pup. You wanted to play with the big boys, so play. You have it in you, I’ve seen it. It’s why after your father passed, I agreed to continue to be your ally. I didn’t do it for your father, or his legacy, I did it because I saw the leader you were meant to be. Be that leader Alpha Sophia, and do not ever disrespect my Angel again.”

Sophia’s eyes filled with tears, “You continued our alliance because of me?” Alpha Eric asked, “Did you think otherwise? I do not need you as an ally. I do not align myself with the weak or timid; I don’t give a shit who their dad is. I’m Alpha Eric Conners and being my ally means something.” Sophia nodded, “Thank you.” Alpha Eric said nothing.

Princess Luna Haley clapped, “Alright, I’ll be taking Alpha Sophia wearing her new big girl panties back to her pack.” She kissed Alpha Eric on the cheek. “Be right back.” Alpha Eric laughed, “Yes, then we will talk about your evasive answer about your meeting.”

Princess Luna Haley’s jaw dropped, “It wasn’t evasive! I told you I had a meeting.” Alpha Eric smirked, “But not with whom the meeting was with. I would’ve come with you.” The Princess sighed, “Which is why I ASKED what you were doing first. You had an important meeting. You used the damn word important, AND I brought Blade with me.” Alpha Eric kissed her, “Pop them home and come right back.”

The Princess grumbled, “I swear that man is never happy with who I take with me when I go places. There are so many marriage rules, you know? I’ve started writing them down but damn it if more don’t pop up every fucking day.” Sophia snickered, “I wouldn’t know.” The Princess stared at her for several seconds before Sophia realized what she said and winced. She was right though. We weren’t in a real marriage, and we didn’t have rules.

We all laughed when they popped away. Somehow it was only nine in the morning. I looked at the time then ordered, “Derrick, please go teach Matt’s training class. I’m afraid I need him.” Derrick pouted, “If someone doesn’t take extensive notes on what happens when she gets back; I’ll never speak to you all again.” Then he left.

Princess Luna Haley popped back in and started a chant. I cringed, “Am I going to grow a beard? Princess Luna Haley smiled, “You may call me Haley.” I smiled broadly. Haley continued, “I made this space unable to be heard on the outside of this room because I just HAD to say something to Eric, but first….” She popped Matt out.

I linked him, “What the hell?” Matt snorted, “She wanted to make sure you knew I was gay. It seems Alpha Eric told her I didn’t advertise it. He didn’t appear to go into detail about how werewolves feel about gay wolves in charge. I sense it will go poorly.” Since she was a partial Fairy and Hackura, and her Hackura brother was quite famously in a throuple; I’d guess it would go poorly when she found out.

Haley popped back in with Matt then turned to Alpha Eric. He smiled, “Yes, Angel.” Haley pointed at Matt, “WHAT was with your lapse with Claudzilla? He’s cute and he seems perfectly normal! Why is your taste impeccable outside of her? Why did it HAVE to be her? Why couldn’t you have been close with someone like Beta Matt? NOOOOOO you had to date Claudzilla. THE WORST ex of yours I’VE MET! Seriously, what’s wrong with you? Why couldn’t you date him? I like him!”

Matt was redder than a tomato, but he was laughing. I bit the inside of my cheek hoping I wouldn’t join him. Alpha Eric said, “Matt, I’m sorry I didn’t get to warn you, but my Angel knows we’ve been together.” Matt chuckled, “I know she told me when we popped out, but I figured that our earlier before you got here.”

Haley said, “But really, my point stands.” Matt explained, “We didn’t want to date. We are both dominant males. Alpha Eric only dated the one she wolf.” Haley sighed, “Fine. I’m just saying I would’ve preferred had it been someone like Matt. He doesn’t want to kill me or get you back. Nor would he send his siblings to shoot me up with iron and kidnap me or try and rape you. I’m just saying there were non psycho choices out there. Options you’ve even fucked. WHY DEAR GOD WHY was it her?”

Matt laughed and helped Alpha Eric out of the subject, “You aren’t mad about him and me?” Haley frowned, “What about you? Why would I be mad?” No one spoke so I jumped in, “Because they fucked.” Haley shrugged, “They haven’t since I’ve known Eric. Why should I care they fucked once upon a time?”

Matt spit out his coffee. Alpha Eric told us, “She doesn’t care about my past.” Haley popped into his arms, “I only care that it’s just you and me now because you said so. No off periods, so you’re all mine.” Alpha Eric growled, “No one will have you but me.”
