Chapter 37 The morning has been good. I caught up with Amara and she took away my worries. At least for a little while. I am now heading up to Alarick's office. I stop in front of the big oak door and take a deep breath. His scent calms me down and it irritates me and Fen. "Can we try to make him mad again? I like doing that." Fen asks me. "You should have learned from yesterday that even though we make him mad he still wants to meet the next day." I said to her. She just huffs and tries to hide away. "You just going to stand out there all day?" I hear his voice from the other side of the door, annoying me. I walk in to see him already sitting on the couch with books on the little table in front of it. He looks at me and has a disheartened smile. "I was taking a minute to collect myself before I faced your wrath." I say, walking over to a chair and pulling it up to the table with books on it. I can feel a slight disappointment from him and I wonder if it is from my choice of seat or from my statement. Once I sit down he looks up from his spot he was staring at. He looks me in my eyes and I get lost in his light brown eyes. The flecks of green are harder to see because of the lighting in the office, but I can still see them. "I um. I wanted to apologize for how I acted yesterday." He says pulling me away from whatever place I went to. "What part?" I ask. "Well any part that I acted like an as*hole." He says. "But specifically at dinner. I was upset that I was not informed of your projects and I realized that I may have overreacted. I just nod and keep quiet. I am not going to stand in your way of trying to better the pack. You may see things differently because you were not raised here. So that means you probably have some ideas on how to change things. I took what you said at dinner about the school schedules and I will allow the changing of the schedules. All I ask from you is that next time you would like to initiate a project to propose it to me first. I don't like not knowing what is going on." He says and I am in shock. "You are okay with the schedule change?" Is all I can think to say. "Yes, I had no right to get as upset as I did. Luna's take on projects and it has been since my mother that a Luna project was taken on. You will technically be Luna, and although we will not be the typical mates, I will not get in your way of being Queen unless I have to." He says. Shocking me even more. What changed his mind? Why is he being so nice? "Alright. Well I appreciate your apology and I will come to you with other projects that I may want to take on in the future. Which also leads to me saying that I have committed to another project." I say shocking him. "Another one?" He asks and I nod my head. "I would like to develop a daycare for pups next to the school." I say and he looks confused. "There is a daycare for pups. It is down the road from the school." He says. "You must pay for that one and from what I have heard it is more expensive. There are parents who cannot afford it. I would like to develop a free daycare." I say and once he registers what I say he nods his head. "I agree. You will have whatever resources you need to get the daycare up and going." He says shocking me once more. I nod my head and he smiles. "So research. These are some of the books I have found that might give us a hint on what to do for the ceremony." He says pointing towards the books on the table. I nod my head and grab one. I start to read it and he continues reading the one he had closer to him. After about an hour of going through the books his office phone begins to ring. He gets up and answers it. "King Alarick." He says into the phone. Even though I could zone into the conversation, I don't, out of respect. "I will send someone there right away. Take pictures and make sure he is tended to." He says. I can feel his anger rising as he hangs up the phone. His eyes glaze over and I know he is mindlinking somebody. I sit in silence and contemplate helping his nerves when Gamma Garret walks in. I look at him then at Alarick. Because of the positioning of the chair Alarick walks towards the Gamma, past my chair. "I need you to go to Emerald Rock Pack. One of their warriors was assaulted yesterday evening." Alarick tells Gamma Garret. "Why would you get involved in a pack dispute?" Gamma asks. "The shadow was the one who accosted this man." Alarick says and I grip the book a little tighter, knowing it was me. "I understand, I will go right away. What happened this time?" Gamma asks. "That monster cut off the man's pen*s and carved the word rapist into his back." Alarick grumbled. I feel the hurt from him calling us a monster and Fen starts to push. I know my eyes flickered as I wrestled with her. The Gamma nods his head and takes his leave. Alarick sits back down on the couch and grumbles something under his breath then pick up the book he was reading. In Addicted to You movie, Audrey's biggest regret? A one-night stand with Floyd, her secret love for eight years. Despite his arranged marriage and his family's troubles, he kept rescuing her. She tho...
