Valyria dressed in black leather pants, a purple lace corset, black leather jacket, and purple leather ankle boots. She left her hair down and straight. She looked herself over in the mirror, and shrugged. ~that's as good as it's going to get~ she thought to herself. She walked out of her room, and went down the stairs, to the first floor office. She walked in and saw John (the soon to be not alpha), Henry the beta, Tyler the head enforcer, and Kurt the pack elder in charge of the Alpha Ceremony.
Valyria walked over to the desk and looked at John. waiting for him to give her the rightful spot. He stood, straightened his suit, and sat down at the couch. Once Valyria was seated, she cleared her throat and said "Let's begin, shall we".
"The Ceremony will take place tomorrow night, at 7 PM. which means you have little over 34 hours to pick a Male Alpha. Packs from all over have already arrived this morning waiting to meet you." said John with a smug look on his face.
Valyria's eyes turned black, as she stood "let me make one thing clear... I will not choose a pathetic alpha to rule by myside. I am very capable of ruleing by myself, I have been training for this practically since I was born. Hell I was born for this. I will not take orders from anyone! are we understood" she said as her alpha vibes wafted through the room, suffocating the men.
"The rules stat-" started kurt but was interrupted by a growl from Valyria.
"I don't give a fuck what the rules stat, I am the Alpha and you will do as I say. Are we clear!?"
All the men nodded, and wouldn't make eye contact.
"Good" she said while sitting back down "Now that its settled, please inform our guests there will be no picking of a mate, and the Ceremony will be for me, and me alone." Henry stood and nodded, exiting the room.
"Valyria, I need you to please think this through. Never in our history has there ever been a lone female Alpha head of a pack. The balance will be off, you won't be able to defend yourself against males trying to overthrow you to lead the pack" Kurt looked at her with pleading eyes, his white hair showing just how old, and wise he was.
Valyria softened her voice and answered him "I appreciate your concern, Kurt. But I dare any man to try and challenge me. It will not end well for them. Need I remind you I went through the transformation by myself, I've been trained by the head enforcer Tyler for years, no man or woman can defeat me."
Kurt just nodded in acceptance. Knowing she was right. "The Ceremony will be held in the clearing just inside the forest. preparations have already begun. The cooks have started preparing the feast as well. The pack awaits in anticipation." said Kurt.
~anticipation my ass~ she thought. Valyria knew they were only waiting for the Ceremony to be complete, then the challengers would come in waves.
John cleared his throat and said "have you thought more about who will become your beta?"
Valyria sighed, knowing she had no one. No friends she could ask to do the task, no one she trusted to be her second in command. "I still have no one currently, uncle. But I will have someone by tomorrow evening. If that's all I would like to be left alone."
The remaining people left, and Valyria was once again alone. Exactly how she preferred it to be. She spun her chair around and looked out the window at her pack. The enforcers were training, and working out. The unmated females were standing around watching them with lust filled eyes. The pups were playing tag, and the parents were sitting on the ground laughing, and enjoying each other's company. Everything looked so simple, and perfect to her. Something she would never have. A knock at the door pushed her from her thoughts. "come in" she said still looking out the window. The sent filled her nostrils, and made her mouth water, and her core started tingling. She spun her chair around, and laid eyes on the wolf that made her feel things she had never felt. He was tall, muscled and tan with white hair and red eyes. Valyria tried to look casual, but failed miserably as her eyes roamed the body of the male before her. "My name is Nicolas, I'm here to speak to the alpha of the Blood Moon pack?" he asked non chalantly.
"You're looking at her. How can I help you?"
Nicolas smirked and said "I mean the actual Alpha, Your mate."
Valyria stood and crossed her arms "I don't have a mate, I am the alpha of the pack. I would watch what you say next, Nicolas. For it might be your last words."
A look of shock and disbelief spread across his face, as he looked her up and down.
"Well, I was not expecting that. I came here to see if I could join your pack. You see I rejected my mate, and I cant stay in the other pack. The pain is bearable, but she is persistent, to say the least."
Valyria raised her eyebrow. "What pack were you previously in?" she asked as she sat back down, opening the filing cabinet of packs to her left.
"Black Sun" he answered.
She flipped through the files until she found black sun. It was a relatively small file. She opened it, and immediately saw his name. Alpha Nicolas King, and his picture right next to the name. Valyria looked up and said "You're the Alpha, can't you just kick her out of the pack, force her to become a rogue?"
Nicolas sighed as he sat on the couch, lifted is left foot to rest on his knee. "I could, but I'm quit tired of being Alpha. I have no interest in that title or the work that comes with it. I simply want to be an enforcer, but that would never work if I was still apart of my old pack. which is why I would to switch to yours."
Valyria nodded in understanding, while looking over his file. She saw he was 28, and was Alpha for 10 years. He trained enforcers in his old pack, and had killed 130 rogues that had tried to cross his border, or start an attack. He was good, very good.
Valyria leaned back in her chair and looked at him. She would be lying if she said he wasn't attractive. "How do I know I can trust you?"
Nicolas raised his eyebrow "Honestly, you're the Alpha. I would protect you with my life. That simple. You don't have to trust anything else about me, just know that."
Valyria nodded "Ok. I accept you into the pack, under one condition. You become my Beta, You can also help train enforcers on the side. I just became Alpha, my Ceremony is tomorrow and I dont trust any of my pack mates with the beta position. I would be taking a leap of faith, but I feel as if I can trust you."
Nicolas thought for a second before answering. Then nodded "It would be my pleasure"
Valyria's core tightened at the word pleasure. She cleared her throat and said "Good, I will announce it tomorrow at the Ceremony. and Nicolas, be discreet until then."
He nodded as he stood, a smirk washed over his face as if he knew what he was doing to her. he turned and left, leaving Valyria hot and bothered.
