The Shadow Alpha
CHAPTER SIXTEEN

After a quick breakfast I headed to my office, I went through all the information we had on recentrogue attacks and made note of any significant events that would help us in tracking them easier,we had Tatiana now and hopefully that would give us an upper hand, but I still needed to speak toDevin about the particulars of the attack.

At 8 am I decided to get the group together to get started. My first stop was Tatiana’s room, thedoor opened to reveal my Tatiana and my mother who looked to have been talking.

"Hi, sorry for interrupting, but we are about to have a meeting and I would like it if you joined us.”She smiled and nodded.

"Okay, Hannah will show me down.” I gave a curt nod and walked back to the elevator.

As I made my way to the fourth floor I mind linked Papa Jamie, Dad, Connor and Bradley, “Goodmorning gentlemen, I would like to formally invite you to the planning of the overthrowing of theupcoming revolution. The venue is the Alpha's office at 8:30 am, sharp. I look forward to seeing youall there." I spoke formally and received a series of amused confirmations.

I was contemplating whether or not to have Devin, Hunter and Justin at the meeting, but suddenlyfound myself in front of Devin's bedroom door.

I took a deep breath before knocking, my mind wandered back to the dream I had, but before mythoughts could get ahead of itself the door flew open. Devin's eyes widened at me standing beforehim and my eyes instinctively fell on his shirtless chest.

WOW, he is hot!

They lingered there for a moment before I gathered my wayward thoughts and met his amusedeyes; my cold voice cut off any comment he was about to make.

“There is a meeting in my office to discuss our plan of action, get your Beta and Theta and meet usdown there at 8:30 sharp. Don't be late.” Sensing my mood, he gave a curt nod.

I could feel his eyes on my back as I walked down the hall, until I stepped into the elevator. I leanedmy head back against the elevator wall and sighed in relief.

I don't think there will be a day he will stop affecting me.

I was going to need the strength of the Goddess to remain calm throughout this meeting.

At 8:15 Tatiana entered my office, “Jake just informed me that him and Dris are on their way withtheir mates, so let us just wait a few minutes.” As the words left my mouth there was a knock on thedoor which opened to reveal Jake and Rosie followed closely by Dristan and Lily.

“Good morning. Ladies, first I would like to introduce myself, I am Alpha Allison of the Blue Moonpack. I am sure Jacob and Dristan have explained the happenings of yesterday, but I would just liketo say how glad I am that you are both well. These two guys are not just my Beta and Theta, butalso my unofficial brothers and as their mates you both are just as much a part of this pack andfamily.” I smiled at both timid looking women. “I have already had the pleasure of speaking toTatiana; she has explained some things and going forward I would like to ask if the three of you arewilling to join the Blue Moon pack as official pack members?” Lily and Rosie shared an uncertainlook, before turning to Tatiana for help.

“Do you remember the stories I used to tell you about Alphas and packs, how they love and protecteach other?” They both nodded in reply to her question. “Alpha Allison is offering us a chance tohave that, you can be with your mates, they will love and protect you for the rest of your lives.”Tatiana looked at the guys expectantly and they nodded, confirming her words.

“We would like to join your pack Alpha Allison.” Rosie spoke; she seemed more open than Lilly whowas standing close to Dristan’s side, avoiding eye contact whenever possible.

“It would be a pleasure to have you ladies. Please step forward so that we can say the oath and youwill officially be Blue Moon pack members.” They followed my instruction and stood in a line in frontof me, with their mates behind them protectively.

“Place your right hand over your heart and repeat after me, insert your own name where I say mine.”with their affirmative I continued.

“I Allison Trust Wells vow to honour and protect the Blue Moon Pack and its members with dignityand loyalty. I promise to respect and serve my pack, its traditions and property to the best of myability. Fidem sicut Luna noctis, umbram secutus. (Loyalty like the moon to the night, follower of theShadow.) They repeat after me line for line and by the end I felt as the pack bond was created.There was a special feeling attached to a new pack member saying these words and I felt proudevery time I heard them.

They all beamed as they felt the bond as well, Rosie and Lily were both engulfed in hugs by theirmates.

“Jake and Dris will show you your rooms; you can get some rest while they join me for a meeting.This is a new experience for you, don't be shy, just enjoy it.” they returned my smile and left behindtheir mates after thanking me quietly.

One by one everyone entered the office and took a seat either at the table or on the couch, whenDevin, Hunter and Justin entered my pack members eyes shot to me questioningly, but I ignored itand stood to address them.

"Good morning everyone and welcome to overthrowing the upcoming revolution, 101.” They rolledtheir eyes at my goofy behaviour.

“First things first, 1 would like to introduce you all to Tatiana; one of the newest members of the BlueMoon Pack. Tatiana along with Rosie and Lily joined the pack this morning after being attacked by agroup of rogues yesterday on the east border. These ladies have been prisoners of the rogues foryears and finally escaped. I have asked Tatiana to assist us with whatever knowledge she has aboutthis revolution after being there for so many years and she has agreed. Tatiana is also responsiblefor helping parents escape the rogue settlement.” Everyone smiled in her direction and she returnedit

“Tatiana, this is the ex-Alpha and my adoptive father Jamie Wells. The two head pack warriors;Connor and Bradley. We currently have another pack residing with us after they were attacked, theyalso the pack to which my parents and I originally belonged. Alpha Devin Summers, Beta HunterTrust and Theta Justin Childe. Of the Full Moon pack.” I gestured to each person respectively andturned to Tatiana with a smile.

My smile dropped at the woman who stood frozen with her eyes wide in shock, she was staring atnothing in particular with a mixture of sadness, fear, confusion but most prominently anger in hergrey eyes.

Her expression caused everyone's smiles to drop; I took a step closer to her and placed my handson her shoulders. I looked into her wide eyes and felt Shadow stir restlessly.

“What is the Shadow? Shadow's agitation was affecting me.

'Mate!"

I was taken aback by her reaction; “Shadow, this is Tatiana not D-' I cut myself off and swung aroundto look at Devin. I looked into his confused eyes and was met with grey eyes strikingly identical tothose I stared into just seconds ago.

The puzzle pieces started fitting together in my mind, it was suddenly making sense why Tatianareacted the way she did.

Something is amiss here.
