The Alpha's Slave Mate

Chapter 9: Caleb’s Point of View 

Curiosity was getting the better of me, I needed to know who that wolf girl was that I seen this morning.

I simply could not get her off my mind.

Theo tried to distract me by going over next weeks training schedule, but my heart and mind were not in it. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Finally, he gave up and asked me if I wanted to walk around this pack’s territory.

I readily agreed, which lead him to teasing me about possibly running into a certain girl.

Simply being outside relaxed my muscles and put a smile on my face.

Looking around I noticed that the Silver Moon pack had done a great job in the way they had structured their buildings.

The Manor House was center but towards the back giving the inhabitants a great view of the woods.

Their meeting hall was off to the left, with an array of small shops surrounding it.

The pack members houses were spread along the north side of the town, and beyond those were the guard shacks.

Being at the base of the blue mountains gave them a strategic advantage if rogues were to attack because they could be spotted easily.

"This is a nice little village for a pack."

Theo was trying to draw me out to speaking.He could tell that I was surveying my surroundings.

I enjoyed that my Beta knew me so well.

"Yes, they have done a great job at using their location to their advantage and building accordingly."

I quickly noticed that there was some commotion near the meeting hall and started in that direction, Theo following quickly beside me.

When I arrived at the meeting hall, I found some of m y warriors and some of the Silver Moon pack warriors had been wrestling around.

It took little observation t o realize that during one of the playful tassels, someone had taken it seriously and now warriors on both sides were growling ready to rip each other to shreds.

Werewolves are naturally prideful, and this can quickly lead to grave misunderstandings.

I quickly stepped between the two sides of boys getting ready to brawl and glared at my warriors.

"I do not think that it would be wise to start an all- out brawl before the Mabon ball."

I then turned my gaze to the Silver Moon pack warriors.

"Wouldn’t our time be better spent getting ready to dance with these beautiful young ladies."

I turned and pointed out that their growling had attracted a lot of spectators, many of them young ladies.

"Now I expect each of you to shake each other hands and disperse immediately to make yourselves presentable."

I stepped back to allow the boys to shake hands and make amends with the others.

As they were doing that my eyes were scanning the gathered spectators, hoping that I would recognize the eyes of the young wolf this morning.

Disappointment quickly laced its way through my veins when I did not see her in attendance.

I went back to watching the last of the boys shaking hands and sighed happily that there did not seem to be any lasting animosity among them.

Just as I was turning back to Theo, a blur caught my peripheral vision.

Dashing out of the meeting hall heading towards the manor house was a girl.

She had long toned legs, and wild hair flowing behind her as she ran towards the house.

Why had I not seen her yesterday or this morning at breakfast? It struck me as odd that she kept towards the outskirts of all activity, as if she was purposely avoiding all contact with anyone.I immediately wanted to meet her.

There was something about her that reminded me of the wolf this morning.I would not be sure though until I seen her eyes.

"Theo do you see the woman running towards the back of the manor house?"

"Yes, Alpha."

"Do you recall meeting her yesterday, or seeing her at breakfast this morning?"

"No Alpha, there were not many females in attendance this morning.

The Luna, the Beta’s wife, that blonde woman that was trying to flirt with you unsuccessfully, and a few others but I do not recall any female with hair like that."

"Theo I want to meet her.I am also very curious as to why she is hidden away from everyone.I think she may have been the wolf I met this morning.Even if she is not, I am intrigued by the mystery surrounding

her."

"I will inquire quietly about her Alpha.I do not think that it would be wise if anyone knew you were inquiring about her directly, so I will ensure that it is done discretely." I nodded at Theo’s words.

My Beta was very good at acquiring information, and I knew before the day was done he would have something on her.
