The One 99
Chapter 99: Robin’s Suggestion
Hunter
The next day begins as usual, me pleasuring my mate, me beingte for sparring, and then me
working with Sophie to help her get stronger and faster after checking over the pack warriors. Some
of her movements are starting to be stiffer as my pup grows inside her, making some
ovements more difficult. I’
d ask her to stop sparring, but I know my mate and she won’t appreciate my protectiveness.
I notice that Ezra is saying “good” a lot more to Margot this morning, meaning he must be testing
her on what he taught her yesterday and she’s showing him that she’s using her newly learned skills
this morning. She must have listened to himst night, because she’s not as stiff this morning as
she was when she came into my office yesterday afternoon.
After breakfast, where surprisingly, Margot joined us, Ezra and I head to my office for the video
conference with the other Alphas.
I move myputer to a conference table so that he and I can both participate, and I enter the
conference room. Two others are already waiting. One is Kayce, but I only know that because his
name is on the screen. His mate is in hisp and the two of them are kissing as if they’ve forgotten
about this meeting.
“Good morning, Kayce, good morning, Luna Allison,” I say chuckling.

Allison gasps and pulls away from Kayce, but he holds her in hisp. When she turns toward the
camera, she’s obviously
blushing.
“I won’t apologize for kissing my mate, especially when she only told mest night that she’s
carrying my pup,” Kayce says proudly, and we all congratte them as the others join.
Robin smiles, turning to look over his shoulder. “We need to catch up, Nikki.”
“It’s not a contest, Robin,” she says, walking in and saying hello to Allison.
“Everything’s a contest where Alphas are concerned,” Robin says, kissing her neck.
“Well then, you’d better up your game, Alpha,” she says, making Robin growl.
“Where’s Sophie?” Nikki asks.
“Working on better preparing the safe rooms. Apparently, they need a better ambiance, so our pack
members aren’t sitting scared and waiting while the rest of us fight,” I tell her.
“What a great idea,” Allison says.
“Let’s schedule a call with her, Alli,” Nikki says.
“I’ll set something up,” Allison says before the two say goodbye and walk out of the rooms. When
Kayce turns back, he’s shaking his head.
“Goddess save us from intelligent, empowered Lunas.”

“You’ll find noints from me,” I say.
“That’s because our mates haven’t talked to yours yet, Hunter. Just you wait. Nikki’s already drafting
aw to allow the first born to inherit the Alpha position,” Robin says.
Calvin frowns. “They already do.”
“The first born, whether male or female,” Robin rifies.
“Oh,” Calvin says.
“And Allison is drafting a bill to allow Lun and Alpha females on the Committee of Alphas as voting
members,” Kayce says. “Did I mention that having two intelligent, empowered Lunas living right next
door to each other is dangerous?”
“Trying living with two,” Dutton pipes in.
“How are things going with the twins. Have they gotten settled in?” I ask him.
“Yes. My bed isfortably full every night,” he says smiling broadly, making all of us chuckle.
“Alpha Carter, how is Luna June? I’d like to give Margot an update on her mother,” I say, and Ezra
looks at me. He must have forgotten that Margot’s mother is living with Carter and Amy right now.
“She’s a strong woman. It will take time as these things do, but she’s making a name for herself
here in our pack. Amy had the idea to put her in the nursery with the pups and it’s working out
wonderfully. Her Lu?a nature of giving and loving is really able to shine there and it’s helping her to
heal.”

“Would it be okay if I brought Margot over to see her mother?” Ezra asks.
“Of course, Alpha Ezra, but I thought Margot was living with Hunter,” Carter says.
I look at Ezra, waiting for him to tell the group.
He looks at me, pressing his lips together. “She’s my second chance mate,” he says, making all of
them respond with shock, some sitting back heavily in their seats, some sucking in air, some
whistling low.
“How’s that going?” Calvin asks.
“She hasn’t rejected me yet, so I take that as a win,” he says.
“Good luck, Ezra,” Carter says. “I wish you the best,” he says and the rest of us agree.
“Alpha Calvin, how is your Luna’s pregnancying along?” I ask, knowing Sophie will want to
know.
“She’s doing very well. Our little girl is growing quickly.”
“Oh, you’re having a girl!” Robin says.
“Yes, we’re both very happy,” he says, smiling.
“Before we begin today, has anyone heard anything about any of the other Alphas moving against
us, or more specifically against Hunter?” Kayce asks.
“I’ve been trying to keep tabs on Joshua. He’s closest to my pack, or he is now that he’s taken over
Elias’ pack, but I haven’t seen anything. My scouts can’t get too close though. He’s got

patrols running non-stop. However, we’re pretty sure that your previous G**a is there now, Alpha
Hunter, and that he’s running one of the packs for Joshua,” Calvin says.
“That doesn’t surprise me,” I say. “He got away when he attacked with Owen’s pack, the coward.”
The Alphas growl in agreement before turning our attention to Robin.
“Well, I wanted to get us together to discuss reinitiating the Committee of Alphas. I think the premise
of themittee is a good one, even though we’d be so divided. Now, there are seven of us
who, for the most part, agree on the direction of our future, leaving only four Alphas who don’t
agree.”
“Probably soon to be three, if Joshua attacks me,” I say.
“Correct,” Robin says. “So, I wanted to get a show of hands on who agrees that we should
implement a new Committee of Alphas,” Robin says, and all of us raise our hands.
“Any concerns?” he asks.
“How do we resolve differences of opinion?” Ezra asks.
“A good question and one that I don’t think we can answer today. I think we need to decide if we are
to have a majority rule for ourws, or if we needplete agreement from every Alpha to
implement aw,” Robin says.
“I’d also rmend reviewing all of ourws once we decide how to proceed. Laws such as how
we im our mates are outdated. I’m sure that there are others as well,” I say.
“So, if we are in agreement, let’s get up a call in another week or so, depending on what happens
with Joshua. Then we can elect ourmittee leader, I personally will be rmending Alpha
Carter, and we can go from there, Robin says.
“Me? Why me?” Carter asks.
“You are the logical choice because you have experience and knowledge that the rest of us don’t
have,” Robin says, and I hide my smile.
“Young man, are you calling me old,” Carter growls, making most of us chuckle.
“No sir, I said experienced and knowledgeable, not old,” Robin says, and he miraculously keeps his
lips from twitching.
“Maybe I’ll elect Alpha Ezra. He’s…experienced and knowledgeable as well,” Carter says.
“Not nearly as experienced and knowledgeable as you though, Alpha,” Ezra teases.
“In the meantime, I’ll start pulling up the existingws. It’s going to take time to go through them, butAll rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
I think Hunter’s point is valid. I know that they’ve never been reviewed since I’ve been an Alpha,”
Robin says.
I shake my head as does Ezra. None of us has ever been asked to review aw.
Carter sighs. “I guess that does make me more experienced, because if I’m thest one to have
reviewed aw, then it’s been a couple of decades since one was reviewed. Time to bring them up
to the current century.”

“We also need to talk about Owen’s packnds,” Ezra says.
“I’ll add that to the agenda. Hunter, would you mind setting up another meeting for us next week?
Let’s n to elect our new Committee Leader and get an idea of the number ofws we need to
tackle. I’ll also say that some of the intelligent and empowered Lunas may want to join to petition
that we review their proposedws.”
“Let’s see if there are anyws that preclude them from doing that first. Then we can move forward
with having them present. I’d hate for something down the road to overrule anything we do now
because we weren’t diligent with reviewing and modifying our existingws,” Ezra says.
‘A fantastic idea. Alright then everyone, see you next week,” Robin says, and I disconnect the call,
turning to look at Ezra who looks thoughtful.
“What’s that look?” I ask him.
“I’m wondering if I can use thesews to make an intelligent Luna start to feel empowered.”
“I can talk to Sophie, have her include Margot on the calls with Nikki and Allison. Unless you’d like
to introduce her to the idea?”
“I need to go to Owen’s old pack today. I think I’ll ask Margot if she wants to go with me. We can run
in wolf form to help her work off some of the tightness from sparring, and I can use the time away to
talk to her about what we’re nning, encourage her to get involved.”
“And make sure you tell her that you’d like to take her to see her mother. I’m pretty sure they’re
close.”
