Can't Get Near The Alpha King novel Chapter 4

"Is he your mate?" One man asks, eyeing Blake wearily.

"That's none of your business thank you." I reply with no emotion.

"What does your Alpha want with me?" I question the men.

"He wants to see what it's like here, he could unite if he felt like it. Our pack is the strongest in America - with over 500 members. Unbeaten for decades. He was also pushed by his father to meet his mate, if he doesn't within a year - he will be put in an arranged mating." The man who previously spoke, answers.

"And why would I let him come here?" I retort, shocked with the information also on the arranged mating.

"You might not but what's the harm in letting him - you've already got us here. We have a letter here, with your permission he would like to visit. All the details are on the sheet."

The man passes the guard the letter, he then proceeds to passing it to me. I open it and I skim the text, also sensing Blake reading the text with narrowed eyes - not liking the sound of this offer.

"Why the sudden interest in us?" Blake asks, wearily.

"Believe it or not but many packs speak of you, not knowing if you are real or not. Many making up rumours, many curious and seeking your pack but never returning. Some members from our pack have travelled here but never returned, we want to see if they are here as well.

Most men with me here also are mateless, most have searched most or all packs - they wanted to come here to see if theirs were here. A harmless act.

Our Alpha also wants to see if these rumours are true. If he likes your pack he might even want something else, don't worry we won't wage war but he might unify. You and your pack are highly respected."

The man replies who has been speaking the whole time for the men. His eyes holding pride when speaking of his Alpha, something I respect when my fellow pack members do and this pleases me to see a sense of loyalty in these men.

"Guards take them to House 45. Keep guards round the building, if any try anything suspicious then contact me and don't hesitate to put them in the cells - do what you please with them dependant on what they have tried to do."

I reply with his and take my leave with Blake, my loyal Beta. We both look unsure of this proposition but not much could go wrong, and we don't want to give off the wrong message.

"I think we should thoroughly think about this before reaching a final decision.

I am weary of how they have approached us, we haven't had this in years.

I know all Alphas and am aware of each pack and their ways. This pack doesn't wage war unless they have a good reason, they don't in this case so they couldn't attack us.

If they unify they could bring knowledge, weapons, members. Many positives, they are also the strongest pack and from what we heard we are also respected - this could ward off any enemies.

On the other hand, if we allow them. They would see our pack and how strong we are, take advantage of that. They could attack - I'm not willing to take part in a war over something silly like this. What do you think?"

I finish my speech, I look at the two men. I see the wheels turning in their heads, processing what I've said and thinking about outcomes.

"I think we should allow them, but limit them to a certain amount of people. No big weapons, I read the letter with you and nothing seems suspicious. All the men that are in the cells didn't have any weapons which is good - they also didn't lie. Their heartbeats were always the same."
