Chapter 6


    Osiris’ pov


    There was another rogue attack near our packhouse while I was away. That’s one of the reasons I hate


    going to other packs, it’s like the rogues know I am not around and try to grab their opportunity. Luckily I


    had doubled the patrols at the border sincest time, so there were no casualties on our side. I’d hate to


    have to show the rogues why they should fear the Iron River pack again. Although Santos didn’t mind


    tearing another rogue into pieces.


    My pack had gained in size over the past few years, I’ve had new members join and I’ve taken over my


    neighboring pack. After I found out the Alpha was mistreating his omega’s and women. Every Alpha has


    their own way of ruling, but Alpha Zeke went too far. He treated the omega’s as ves and the women


    as second ss citizens. I tried to have a conversation with Alpha Zeke about his pack, but he started


    attacking me as soon as the meeting started. Like I said, I am not afraid of using violence. So when


    Alpha Zeke attacked I didn’t hesitate and I ripped out his throat. The Beta and rest of the pack were d


    to get rid of Alpha Zeke, apparently he had been mishandling the pack finances as well and they were


    almost bankrupt.


    It took me a year and a lot of my own money to get everything back to normal, but everyone found their


    new ce in the Iron River pack and we are thriving. Word got out that I took over the Midnight pack by


    killing their Alpha, without mentioning who attacked first. I would never kill an innocent man or take over


    a whole pack for no reason. But my reputation doesn’t matter, all that matters is that every single wolf is


    safe in my pack. And if fear from others makes that happen, then fine with me.


    Beta Riker doesn’t agree with me on this, but he knew better than to argue with me on this. Our pack


    now constitutes of several cities, thergest is the one my packhouse and home is in. The other is the


    old Midnight pack and then a small vige that is home to farmers. If we can provide as much food and


    necessities from our ownnds we don’t need to ask others for help. But the rogues have realized there


    is a lot of food there and have been stealing our cattle and crops. That’s why Beta Riker is so keen on


    me finding new alliances, there is a chance food will run out and we will be forced to buy from the


    humans.


    My pack has lived separate from the humans for decades and I’d rather not be the one to break my


    grandfather’s rules. The less you interact with humans and stay in your own world, the less likely they’ll


    figure out who we are.


    Our cities and viges are in the forest, near the Blood River border and as their Luna’s father, Alpha


    Edward might be helpful in setting a meeting up. Until now the Blood River has been very hesitant to


    meet with us. My father had quite the temper and may have insulted the Alpha of Blood River on one


    asion. People thought I was rude, well they should have seen him. But that’s where Beta Riker


    comes in, our socializer. Beta Riker has been my friend for a long time. He knows how to deal with my


    moods and he knows what’s important to me.


    I know that being Beta is very important to Riker, but what most important to him is his mate. Riker’s


    eyes light up when he speaks about her and he lets her take over every conversation when they’re


    together even though he loves to tell the story just as much. I am often jealous of how easy Riker can


    converse with people, making small talk about absolutely nothing. While I have to think about what I want


    to say for minutes and stille up sounding rude. Beta Riker has other qualities that make him a great


    Beta, but him being able to talk easily is an important one to me.


    “We really need to set up that meeting with Alpha Edward, there have been too many attacks now. We


    still have summering up, which won’t help with the crops. But we also need meat for the families, we


    can’t expect our werewolves to suddenly be vegetarians,” Riker said.


    “You’re right, go set up a meeting as soon as possible. I’d rather not leave here again, but I will if it’s


    necessary for our pack,” I replied.

    “Perhaps you can apologize to that daughter of his?” Beta Riker said carefully.


    Iughed “I am pretty sure she is over it. It’s just a figure of speech.”


    “You called her ugly Alpha. That’s not something any teenage girl wants to hear,” Beta Riker said trying


    to still sound respectful.


    Being an Alpha means you are in charge, so there are not that many situations where you have to


    apologize. Perhaps I was a bit harsh with my words. Bute on, even she must know she looks very


    different from her sisters.


    “I will think about it,” I finally replied to Riker, just to get him to drop the topic.


    “I know that you have had been thinking about that evening,” Santos said.


    He was right, I had thought about that moment and especially how Lily had looked at me. I had have


    many men and women look at me with anger, but it had never bothered me until now. I could still see


    these green eyes staring at me when I closed my eyes at night. But I would never admit this to Riker. I


    didn’t even want to admit it to myself, the thought that some teenage girl was messing with my head this


    much after only one brief moment.
