Chapter 2 - Mr Blue Eyes

Alexandria POV

Shit, Shit, Shit. Can this day get any worse; the man I just flipped the finger to has to be the VIP client we are all on high alert for his arrival! 

I wouldn't dare look at him, I am so embarrassed and honestly if he said something I didn't like with my mood today I will have no control of how I would respond and might even get fired for sure. 

Thank god Sarah came when she did and lead them away. 

"OH.MY.GOD. can the stronghold brothers be more handsome" Sarah started gushing, 

"I mean those blue eyes"… yes those eyes I can just drown in them they were so blue the color of a clear sea and his hair, he has a medium length bro flow, it’s deep black and so thick I actually envy it and it fits just right with his stubble beard, I can see he has ripped muscles underneath that fitted black shirt he is wearing leaving the first two buttons undone and tucking it in inside his black slacks, he is 6 feet tall of yumminess. 

The blond one’s eyes were blue too but darker, with short hair and clean shave and I didn’t give a fuck what he was wearing, “I don’t like him” I thought to myself.

"I think the one with the black hair is hotter, did you see his eyes? That shade of blue. Come on” Emmy, another secretary, joined the conversation.

 "Come on the blond one is sexy as hell and he has blue eyes too" Sarah said... Nop the black haired one is definitely hotter, the other one is an asshole, I keep answering in my head.

 "Okay, we need a tie breaker. Jessica?" That would be me, it’s my alias name, as I said I was in hiding, I hate that name and I actually love my real name ”Alexandria”.

 “Yes?",

 "You be that. Which one is hotter?" Emmy said… Okay that gossiping shit is not my style but I have to keep appearances and I didn’t totally hate Emmy and Sarah. 

"Well I guess the blond one is more pretty than handsome. I mean blond hair and blue eyes! Like a plastic doll" plus he is an asshole did I mention that before? I wanted to add "So definitely Mr. Blue eyes black hair wins" they started laughing but abruptly stopped and looked behind me.

 Oh no no no. Are they standing behind me? Did they just hear that? Can this day get any worse? All my questions were answered with the sound of clearing of a throat.

 I slowly turned around. OH FUCK ME! The brothers were standing right there, the blond with an annoyed look that he had every right to have, this will be the second time I insulted him, well third if you counted when he was talking to me and I pretended he wasn't there. 

The other one has a smirk on his face, Of course he does, I just called him FUCKING MR. BLUE EYES.

 "Hello there" blue eyes said still with a smirk and looking straight into my eyes, I felt myself blushing, Wait… Me? Blushing?

 "We have to leave so we will continue the meeting tomorrow. Can you schedule it at 2 pm?" he asked, still looking at me. 

"Sure" that’s all I could barely say shuffling the papers on my desk as if I know what I was doing, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t remember how to speak. 

“Mr. Stronghold at 2 pm?" it sounded more like a question more than a confirmation, yes I definitely forgot how to speak, 

“Or Mr. Blue eyes... as you like" he shrugged with his smirk getting even bigger.

 Oh kill me now please kill me now, he just walked away then went inside the elevator but not before giving me one last look over his shoulder, he gets in and before the elevator's door shut he gave me a wink ... A wink?, Really?

Derek POV 

 "A wink? Really" Dean says. 

"Shut up. I know" it was so fucking cheesy

" And you were doing so well" he sang with a smirk, so I punched his arm "OUCH" he whinnied. 

"One more word and the next one will be to your face" I glared at him as we were getting in the car. 

"So what do you think alpha douchebag wants now that we had to cut the meeting short and run back to the pack?" Dean asked. 

"He is claiming that a couple of our warriors were caught sneaking around on his territory spying and that this is a violation of our treaty and a threat of war" I informed him. 

"What the hell? Who would be spying in broad daylight? Is he that stupid or thinks we are?" Dean said getting angry now.

"Calm down it was just a couple of kids out for a run and didn't notice that they crossed borders but they were caught on his territory nonetheless so we have to deal with this delicately and bring our pack members back without getting into war "I say trying to calm him down, I don’t need a hot head beta now.

 "And how will he justify war to the council just because couple of kids lost their track? Clearly they are no warriors, they are not of age yet" he reasoned.

 "We don't know Dean, the bastard is very cunning, and he has a representative of the council already on the way".

We went straight to the neighboring pack "blood moon", we used to love this place, we loved playing near the cave deep in the woods, it was like our special place, us and alpha Michael kids, we were childhood friends and we grew up together as our fathers were best friends, we had our best childhood memories here but all that changed when I was 16.

 As we park at their pack house we notice that a council issued car is already here, that was fast I thought to myself. 

On top of the pack house stairs we are greeted with the blood moon Beta Jackson extending his hand with a fucking smirk on his face as if he won the lottery, so I ignore his hand totally and return a smirk right back at him and his facial expression turns into confusion not knowing what I'm smirking about when supposedly they are holding the upper hand here.

 "It's been a long time since I came here last, I really should visit more often after all Michael IS STILL a close friend of my father” I say emphasizing the words "IS STILL" And his confusion turns to nervous, that’s exactly what I want.

 Make them confused then nervous which will make them look uncertain or hiding something and that’s enough to weaken their case with the council's arbitrator, that’s the first step.

 "Nice brother, way to make them shake … as if we don't know what father is up to" he scoffed. As we enter alpha Michael, aka alpha douche bag, office.

His beta was already nervous and I can see that he linked his alpha about my not so subtle threat and smug attitude as if I'm holding a winning card they didn't count on, from the subtle but still noticeable nervous expression on his face.

 BINGO! And all of that started with a smirk.
