Aelfred
I saw Stormee leave with her brother and cousin. She needed this time. They were important to her, and I understood this moment was needed.
I am a possessive bastard, a greedy man, but I understand that she also needs her space and her time and that she has her own affections, and even when she is my mate... she is her own person, and I love her for that.
Peter, Romeo, and Alpha Eulisses asked me to join them at the studio, and we retired there. "Romeo told me you wanted to see investors or new clients..." Peter said without further ado.
"Yes, our companies have been servicing the regional elven market for a while, and Stormee suggested that we should explore other markets so that we are not dependent on a single business," I said, and he nodded.
"My niece has always been a sharp one..." He chuckled, and Eul
Romeo AdalwülfToday was the meeting with the monarchs, and the day after tomorrow was the Alpha Summit. I hated how crowded my week was becoming and how less and less time I had to spend with my little girl, but alas, duty calls.David, Vladimir, and Sirena arrived early. The good thing about these meetings was that there were a few hours of meetings to catch up and keep our realms updated on the needs of each one and how we could solve them. These meetings were shorter than the Alpha Summit.The Alpha Summit lasted three to four days, while the All-Realms Council Meeting lasted a day at most. Most of the ruling kings showed up just to chat and exchange ideas. The All-Realms Council Meeting was a friendlier meeting than the Summit, and for that, I was thankful."Welcome..." I greeted them, and they looked at me with respect. We had developed a good relationship, bordering on a close friendship. Sirena and Stella kept in touch regularly, while David,
AelfredThe meeting ended, and it was customary that we stayed for dinner. As permanent guests of the Supreme King, it was a given for us to attend the gathering.We retired to our room, to have an hour of rest, and then we joined the rest in the dining room. David, Daliah, Sirena, Romeo, Stella, and Vladimir were already there. Stormee chose to wear a silver dress that flattered every single curve of her body, making my breath hitch every time I looked at her, and let's face it, I was staring at her like a fucking creep.We entered the dining room, and David looked at me and smirked. "Here comes the pistol..." He said, and I chuckled.I lowered my head and whispered to Storm, "You made quite an impression..." I said,"I am still debating between a good or bad impression..." She said, and I chuckled."Good, of course... You showed all of us what a true leader must be. The fire of your questions and proposals... the excitement i
Stormee AdalwulfAfter an after-dinner quickie and quickly getting ready, Al, Enzo, Ralph, and I headed towards the club. It was packed, as usual. Al looked delicious in his navy jeans and a tight black button-down shirt with rolled sleeves. I wore another dress, this one more fit for the occasion: a mini sequined golden jumpsuit with a deep plunging v-neck.People looked at him, especially women. They stared at his delicious wide frame and tall height. His short hair, in a messy look, made him look manly and enticing. Guys looked at me, but when Al wrapped his arms around my shoulders and tucked me into his side, he made them back off... while the women glared at me and kept staring at him.Enzo and Ralph moved around like fish underwater. They made their way to a new section in the club, and beside a red rope was a bulky man who opened
AelfredThe following day, all the Alphas aligned with the Supreme King arrived. Romeo was still the king of their realm, along with being the ruler of every other realm. Romeo didn't intrude into the specific ruling of every realm, but he was the link between realms. He was the one that solidified a union among all the species.Today, they were hosting the Alpha Summit. Previously, people were running around preparing everything to greet their honorary guests. The servants, or, as Stormee calls them, Omegas, were busy cleaning, preparing food, and setting up different snack areas, resting areas and such.Stormee has corrected me several times about the term servants. She has made it clear that the basis of our people... the hardworking men and women who do all the labor, must be respected and treated with dignity. In the werewolf realm they call them Omegas because that is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, but in our realm, they are servants or slaves, and
Stormee AdalwulfThe first part of Alpha's meeting went smoothly. I knew my mother and father had more than enough experience to neutralize the cocky Alphas and create a suitable environment for negotiations to thrive.Aelfred was impressed with the various conversations the Alphas held and how the Betas handled the negotiations behind closed doors. For the system to work, the relationship of trust between Betas and Alphas must be blind.By lunch, we were all together in the dining hall. "I must say, Romeo... this is so enlightening..." Al said, and I nodded."We try to include all the core issues concerning packs: security, education, health services, financial support, sustainability, and trading. Then we put special affairs on the agenda, which means we open the floor for the specific needs a certain pack might have," Dad said, and Al nodded.Mom has set up a special buffet arrangement for lunch. As usual, it was vast and delicious. Werewolves t
Stella AdalwülfI have never felt more exposed. Seeing Tony attack Stormee triggered something within me. The nasty and bitter memories of him and Brad trying to hurt me were too vivid to overlook.Stormee´s question brought me back to a cruel reality. Even when I have always tried to bury those awful experiences in the back of my head, they remained there, pestering and rotting. I buried them instead of working on them... and right now, pretending I was okay would be futile because my daughter is an excellent character reader, and she has seen through me."He tried... twice..." I muttered, and I could see a storm brewing in her eyes. She was pissed and wanted to take action."Does Dad know?" She mumbled,"He saved me the first time, and then the waking up of my elemental powers saved me the second time," I said, and she laced her fingers along mine."Mom, let's go..." She said, and I followed her in auto motion. It's been a long time since
AelfredWe returned to the conference room where the sessions were taking place. It was more an auditorium than a conference room because hosting an assembly of over one hundred Alphas required such a venue.I was surprised when I first entered the area. It was within the premises of the Packhouse. It was conveniently built at walking distance from the main dining hall and the gardens, where the Lunas gathered around break tables to have small conversations about issues that needed addressing in their packs. Because some Alphas didn't have a Luna, the places required for them were smaller than the ones for the Alphas, and despite that, they also had a unique auditorium to hold their sessions.The areas were designed with the Alpha summit in mind, and all complexes were functional and well-distributed. It was a shame that Alpha Tony's actions tarnished such a good organization."Are you ready?" Romeo asked me, and I nodded. This was when I would get the re
AelfredI was amazed by how Romeo handled the entire situation with the Alpha, who disrespected my mate. I thought it would be a he-said, she-said type of situation. Still, it turned out he had the security tapes with audio proving he was at fault. Stormee tried to shove him away politely, but he insisted. He was harassing her and even trying to take her away to do whatever he had in mind.It was hard to see, but at the same time, I was proud that my mate handled herself graciously under such circumstances. I am sure she must have some experience shoving away assholes. Werewolf males are entitled and don't take a negative answer graciously... Elven males are more tamed. We treasure our women and respect them to the extent that we feel they are superior to us. They are not in the hierarchy but biologically. They are bright, gracious, soft, and beautiful. They are also strong, resilient, and powerful. Our women hold more power than our males. And biological
Stormee Adalwulf"Hey, Daddy-kins..." I said as soon as he picked up the phone, and he laughed."Somehow, I feel you will get me in trouble," Dad said. He was not wrong, but then, it was a good sort of trouble—not the kind that would make anyone frown but laugh."You'll see, I am planning my coronation... which, by the way, you are all invited..." I said, and he chuckled."I didn't expect otherwise." he laughed, and I giggled. "If not as your father, as the Supreme Alpha King..." he said, and I chuckled."Of course, you will get a double invitation... just because you are special, Daddy..." I said, and he laughed."Now, I am sure you want something from me," he laughed."OK, this realm is way smaller than yours—you already know that," I said, and he listened attentively. I tried to make my point and get him on board with my idea. Al was right: Women don't plan but plot when we get together. "So, the traditions of the elven realm usually look down on women. In particular, the elder Aud
Stormee AdalwulfWhen Sary and Vamir returned, I saw that their time away had helped them enormously. "Thank you for everything, Storm. The Golden Pack Resort is terrific, the service and people are top-class, and all the perks you booked and your Uncle surprised us with were excellent," Sary said, and I smiled."Oh, I am super stressed. Maybe my queen should send me away...too..." Petra joked, and I laughed."Oh, I will, but I believe the Sky Resort is a better place for you." I winked, and she smiled."Big drops, intense activity... I am fucking in!" she beamed, and I rolled my eyes."Well, we need to focus," I said. We spoke to Anders; he is preparing the new areas of the cosmetic and supplement divisions." She nodded."Your father is growing restless and, according to Anders, is close to collapse..."
Stormee AdalwulfI sent Vamir and Sary to a little honeymoon gateway and ensured Uncle Eulisses booked all the romantic perks people enjoy at his resort. I made him book a meditation session for two, then a little ride on the yacht, and a couple of massages... a night out in a private pool, a makeover for Sary, and some sports activities for Vamir. He texted me last night, telling me he treated them to a romantic dinner by the sea. Now, that was taking the initiative, being proactive, and making me envious simultaneously.I had to help Al with things at work. Even on Saturday, we showed up because being a ruler is not a part-time job or gives you a chance to have a weekend off. I have seen it with my parents and am now experiencing it. "Anders will be here any minute..." I said to Al, and he nodded.Sary has done a superb job with the pharmaceutical company audit. She also assured Anders that his collaboration would not be announced and offered him a deal: If he
VamirI was thankful to Al and Storm for this vacation. It was weird for Sary to travel through a portal into the werewolf realm, but after she adjusted, she started enjoying the place. Our room was a suite that overlooked a beautiful beach.The beach had soft white sand, and the ocean looked green, turquoise, and clean. We arrived during the day, and after settling in our suite, we walked around the beach. The beautiful sunset was the best part of the walk: turquoise water against an orange and purple sky. Our fashion was way too different from what the werewolves used to wear. Sary´s beachwear consisted of shorts and a flowy top, while the women around the beach had tiny pieces covering just the essentials.Despite sticking up like sore thumbs, not that the others minded us, Sary was entirely in love with the place. I got a note from the front desk: "Dinner on me... Alpha Eulisses." I squinted my eyebrows, and the lady who handed me the note smiled. "We will b
AegnorAudon wants me to find a werewolf willing to kill the Elven Queen. It can't be a regular werewolf; it must be an Alpha who hates his father. It is the only way we would be able to deter the focus of an investigation in that direction rather than have people looking into us.I have heard Alpha Romeo has stomped on several subordinates' toes. I need to find the right one. I called my contact on the werewolf for real. I was helpful to Audon because I knew everything about everyone, everywhere.That meant I had a dark net of informants. Why would I do that? Because information is power, and being in Audon´s shadow is just a facade. I am the one with the valuable information. I am the one in control, even when he pretends he is."I need you to find me someone," I said,"Yes, boss..." the man on the other side of the line replied."I need an Alpha who is scorned enough with the werewolf crown that will be willing to kill their daughte
Elder AudonThere was not a strong word to describe how I felt right now. Everyone in the council, except my loyal Aegnor, greeted the intruder queen with warmth and joy.I tried to force the king to take Kasula as a breeder, but he openly refused. Even when no law forced the king to take an elven queen, I was trying to appeal to the purity of our blood and magic, so the council would force him to take an elven breeder.Even with the blood argument, the council decided to ignore my concerns and allow the king to do as he pleased. The people loved the foreign queen. I have heard that she has built a new way of doing things, and help, aid, and solace have reached the masses quickly.That woman is dangerous—dangerous to my plans. That young woman and her ideas and ways are starting to change things, and it was imperative to reach the masses in need so I could come and pass as the solution to their problems.Instead, the people have embraced her,
AelfredIt was a new experience to have the Alphas in our offices. We did it discreetly so we wouldn't raise suspicions about our backup plan. They understood the current political situation and agreed to this type of meeting. We showed them the facilities via live video provided by Blass, and they were impressed with the companies.We finished, and Eulisses and Peter wanted to see Storm. So, I created a portal for Thomas and Timothy and led them to their packs. We agreed to come to their packs to check the distribution center within two weeks, and with that, we parted ways.Vamir looked at me. "Sary is taking a toll..." He said, and I nodded."Storm noticed..." I said, and he nodded."Thanks for the vacation..." he chuckled."It's our pleasure, Vamir. You are my right hand and best friend. You are my family, and I have learned from Storm that family comes first. We look after family... always." I said, and he nodded."Thanks... you k
Stormee AdalwulfThe following morning, Al and I headed to the office. We had a lot to do. First, I plan to catch up on all the ongoing audits. Sary has been swamped at work and has made some interesting discoveries.Then, I had a meeting with Galabriel and Aerin. They want to discuss my coronation ceremony. I will also meet with Eiry to see the advances in all the social and community development projects. Later, we will include a meeting with the Education Board to improve the quality of education and round up the program with art and sports. Kids need to be kids, after all.Also, I have several observations regarding the women's archery program. It was well received, but we need Myriad to move faster with women-friendly facilities to implement it. I need to raise that concern with Aelfred. If anyone could make it happen, it would be my mate, the king.Al walked into his office, and I moved to mine. Sary walked in, and her eyes looked tired. "Hey, how i
AelfredStormee´s presentation was a success overall. Once the session ended, Galabriel and Aerin monopolized my mate's attention. I could tell both women were mesmerized by Stormee.Elrond stood beside me, his head held high and his demeanor proud. "Your father would have been proud of you," he said, and I looked at him. He was one of my dad's best friends, and unlike Audon, he mentioned my father quite often. It was as if, by saying this, he strived to keep his memory alive."Do you think so?" I asked, and he nodded."I know so.""Aego was my childhood friend..." Elrond sighed, "He would have wanted you to be happy," he said, and I nodded."I am happy..." I sighed, staring at my mate, unable to form words to convey that happy is a word that falls short where she is concerned."He was, too, with your mother..." Elrond said, and I gave him a court nod."Audon is not happy. Beware of him," he said, and I took a deep breath
