Rakari's POVIf I had to describe this dinner in one word it would simply be: awkward. I don't think I've ever had dinner where people are actually afraid to talk either because they're afraid that they'll upset Sharise with the words that they say or because their scared that they might get on the wrong side of Darius. I decided to send Darius a mind message of what I felt'Honestly, this is so awkward; I don't know what to say!He chuckled under his breath, 'And you think I would know?'If you love me, you'll break the tensionI smirked at him and he shook his head slightly before speaking up and I internally did a happy dance at how easy it was to get him to do as I asked, I don't know why I haven't tried that before"I'm thinking of having a pack partyEveryone looked at Darius,"Why?""Well, mainly to welcome Sharise back to the pack but also because I feel like I'm not connected enough to my pack members".I smiled,"That's sweet".He smiled,"Thanks, don't think you're getting
Darius’ POVI walked into mine and Rakari’s room and walked over to the bed so that I could wake her up; a task which I knew wasn’t going to be easy so I need to play this tactfully,"Rakari?”She groaned and just rolled over to her other side so I sat down on the bed next to her and placed my hand on her waist so that I could gently shake her awake,"Rakari, baby, it’s time to wake up”“No, 5 more minutes”I chuckled and moved a strand of hair from her face which didn’t go down well with her because she just turned around to punch me but with my quick reflexes, I ducked before her fist actually hit me,“I swear to God Darius, if you don’t move away from me right now, I’ll be sure to hit you next time” She said in a sleepy voice before pulling the covers up over her head even more,“Come on baby”She moved her hand out from under the covers and flipped me off before putting it back and I just chuckled at how she generally hates being woken up in the morning, or any time for that matte
Darius' POV She looked at me confused but nodded anyway and she followed me into the house and into my study where I closed the door and locked it,“Me and my wolf are not happy right now”“And why is that?”“You undermined me as an alpha just then, I was trying to explain to her why I didn’t give her numbers and you hit me across the head like a dog that had disobeyed it’s owner”“You disrespected your own mother, you think I was going to stand by and let you talk to her like that?”“I was in alpha mode Rakari! You can’t just hit me when I’m in alpha mode! Did you think me and my wolf would be overjoyed at the fact that you practically shamed us in front of nearly the whole pack?!”She narrowed her eyes at me, “Don’t you dare raise your voice to me Darius, I told you once before that if you ever raised your voice to me again, you’d regret it, try and talk to me in that tone of voice again and see what happens”I sighed and ran my hands through my ha
Darius's POV Everyone looked down to the ground but I wasn’t finished yet,“The party will continue as planned and it will go smoothly no matter what the case may be but I swear to God and trust me when I say this, if anything else like this or along the lines of this happens again or even comes close to it, every single fucking person will be punished, have I made myself clear?!!”Everyone nodded, “Yes alpha Darius”I scanned over everyone, “Proceed as before but remember my words”“Yes alpha”I turned on my heels and walked back into the pack house fuming. I just can’t believe what happened, the fact that they had the audacity to cause an argument even if they started it or not is not how I brought my pack to the top.I walked into the study and put in the book code so that I could walk into the meeting room and I walked straight towards the war plans, if Marcus thinks I am going to let him get away with everything he has done, he can think again,
Rakari's POV"There's something wrong with Sharise"I looked away from the mirror and turned to face Darius, who was currently struggling with his tie so I sighed and walked over to him so that I could help him with it,"What makes you say that? She's been through a lot in the past few weeks; of course she's not going to be the same as she was before"I put his tie through the loop and gently pulled it before straightening it out for him,"I know but she seems a bit too, I don't know, organised"I raised an eyebrow at him, "Organised? How can she seem too organised?"He shrugged and walked over to the wardrobe so that he could take out his blazer,"I don't know, it might just be me but one minute she doesn't want a war to start and then the next, she wants to help us to find Marcus, doesn't that seem a bit weird to you?""Kind of but she did say that she thought about everything he did to her, she finally came to her senses"He nodded and
Rakari's POV"That can be arranged"Darius started shaking in anger,"Someone get him out of my pack house and off of my land!! Who invited him?!"Everyone shrugged in confusion, "No one knows""Well somebody get him out!!""What's the matter Darius? I'm your uncle""The day you'll be my uncle again is the day that the sun freezes!""You hold too many grudges dear nephew"He growled,"You nearly killed my mother!! Leave before I shift and make you!!""I'm going but it was lovely meeting you Rakari, hopefully we'll cross paths again"I smiled innocently,"Hopefully not"He chuckled and walked out of the room and hopefully out of the pack house and Darius let out a deep breath before facing everyone,"I apologise for that everyone, it was wrong of me to display myself in such manners, please continue to enjoy the party"Everyone nodded and went back to what they were originally doing and I stepped in front of you.
Sharise's POVUp to my standards? Of course it is, this plan is literally perfect for what I want to happen. Basically, since his pack fighters will be out of the pack house, this gives alpha Marcus a better advantage over Darius because this means that he will have no back up,"Very much but how many pack fighters are we sending? It would be better to send as many as possible, I haven't actually seen Marcus' pack. Darius nodded, "It's big so we plan to send out at least 50 or maybe 60 pack fighters considering we have 100 at the moment, most of them are merely volunteers"Even better. Volunteer fighters are never trained so they have no experience when it comes to fighting another pack so for Darius that is a very risky move,"So, what time do you want me?""You don't actually have to be there if you don't want to, to be honest you've done quite a lot to help the pack out anyway"If only he knew, "No, its fine, I want to be there, I hate being
Darius' POVStressful. That is the only word that I can use to describe what today is going to feel like... Stressful. Even though I am confident about tonight, I have a feeling that something is going to go wrong, I have a very strong feeling that tonight is just not going to go as planned but I don't know why.I stick to what I said about Sharise acting differently, because she is but then I just think about what she's been through in the past few weeks and I let it leave my mind because think about it, if you were kidnapped for days and you come back to your family and friends after days of not seeing them, you're obviously going to feel different and act different to everyone you know, it's only natural.I was cut out of my thoughts by Rakari sitting on my lap and I smiled and wrapped my arms around her waist and leant my head on her shoulder,"Hey baby, you okay?"She nodded, "I'm good but I think it's me who should be asking you that"I sighed,
