9. Rex

I paced nervously as I waited for my pack to gather. It had been a long time since we had a formal meeting, and this was the first one with so much on the line. I could count on Zeke for support, and probably Alexa, she was always gushing about love. The rest of them were a mixed bag, and Clark was likely to outright oppose me.

The darkness of the forest felt more ominous than usual. Even the birds and bugs had gone silent, as though the whole ecosystem knew what I had a stake. I tried to calm myself with a deep breath, but it was no use. Everything had already changed, but if this didn’t go well I could be an outcast on top of everything else.

“You okay Rex?” Zeke asked, clasping my shoulder.

“We’ll see,” I shrugged off his touch as I saw others approaching. I appreciated the gesture, but this was something I needed to do alone. There were no guarantees how this would shake out, and I didn’t need to take him down with me if it went badly.

I could hear my pack whispering and laughing between themselves. Normally I would enjoyed their excitement, but today it only played up my nerves. I stood before them and the crowd fell silent. Now was the time.

“I have an announcement to make. Some of you won’t like it, but I am your alpha and expect you to respect the choices I make for this pack,” I began. Shoulders back, breathing steady, I needed to show them that I was confident in this. My nerves melted as I fell into my rhythm. This was my role; I was meant to take charge.

“I have found my mate.” I let the declaration hang in the air. The expressions were as varied as I could have expected. Alexa was silently grinning from ear to ear, and many others were nodding along. I could barely make out Clark, standing far back in the shade of the trees, but I was sure he wasn’t happy.

“Why wouldn’t we like that?” one of the younger betas asked from the front.

“Don’t interrupt,” I shot him down with a glare before continuing. “My mate has no pack, and will offer no strategic alliance. I still expect you to welcome him, and treat him as you would treat me.”

This set the crowd on edge. A loud murmur rose up as they began talking amongst themselves once more. I let them talk. It would do me no good to silence them just to get stabbed in the back later. Better to hash it out now.

“So you’re just gonna let us die out then?” Clark boomed from the back, silencing the rest of the crowd.

“No.” I spoke firmly, but made no other move. “We have always been small, and we’re stronger for it. We don’t need numbers for strength.”

“Has there ever been an Alpha more selfish than this? You’re more interested in satisfying your cock than taking care of the pack.
