The Mighty She-wolf of King novel Chapter 54

Dolph stood there for a moment before saying, "Is that what she would have wanted?"

Eric didn't respond to his friend. Hearing that one question made him think that he didn't know Blake all that well. What he did know was she was headstrong, loyal, straight forwarded, strong, and she loved her pack and brother. She was selfish and selfless. And most of all very protective of the people around her. That's what he knew. She was perfect with flaws.

When Eric couldn't answer Dolph he walked away and headed straight back to the Pack just in time for the young unmated females lined up in white-barely-see-through gowns. None were as beautiful as Blake would have been if she was standing there for the Hunt.

Eric took his place by Alpha Seth, waiting for the rest of the females to line up. With Dolph by his side, Eric took a deep breath. Once all the women were aliened it was Alpha Seth that told the woman that is was time. Eric watched the females shiver where they stood, each one ready for the chase.

"Run," the Alpha Seth growled letting them know they had until nightfall until the males were sent out to Hunt them. This gave the females time to prepare themselves, get to the center of the Hunting Grounds, and rest up before they had to run again when the males find them in about eight hours. "Your Majesty, I would like to see you in my office."

A growl escaped Eric's lips, he didn't take to kindly to the fact that this young Alpha was already bossing him around. First, his disrespectfully talk and now this. If it wasn't for the fact that this man had meant to something to Blake, he would have died by now. "Whatever you have to say, say it now. If not then you are out of luck."

"It's not necessarily me that wants to speak to you."

"Then who?"

"You are just going to have to come and find out, now don't you," Alpha Seth challenged, rewarded him a black eye and his ass to the floor.

"Don't. Fuck with me," he warned. "My passions run thin these past few days and just looking at your face pisses me off. I would watch myself if I were you."

"Shouldn't have been you, your majesty? If it wasn't for you, she would still be alive. She would have been my mate, my Luna. You're just pissed off with the world because you couldn't protect what the Moon Goddess gave you. It's all you're faulted that she has died and you're blaming it on everyone else."

"I'll fucking kill you!" Eric nearly jumped the young Alpha until Dolph moved his large body in the way. "Don't stop me, Dolph!" Dolph didn't have to say anything as he held Eric back. Eric could see the look his friend gave him and he just knew. "Dolph, you can't protect him forever."

"No, " Ross was able to look Eric in the eye during their whole conversation. For some reason, it made him proud knowing that there were some of Blake's traits in Ross. It made Eric realize something about the young boy and that was that Ross had some Alpha traits to him. Before he was just like any boy, rebellious but obeyed his Alpha, and never looked at Eric in the eye. But in the past few days since Blake has passed Ross was different. Almost like a different person which was understandable since what he has been through but he did show some Alpha traits in the past few days. "Shall we head up?"

"Yes."

Eric walked into the old office, it was a large room with two black leather chairs facing an old wooden desk. There the Luna sat at the desk before standing up with a smile. Alpha Seth senior stood beside. "You came," she cheerfully said, "I was hoping you would."

"Luna, Alpha Seth senior," Eric greeted.

"Come sit, please," she smiled extending her hand out with a nod towards the chairs in front of her. She then quickly turned to her mate, placing a hand over his chest, "Honey," that was all he had to hear from his mate.
