The King (Book 1)

CHAPTER 8

Eric took his place at his table with Dolph by his side and Alpha Seth on the other. He watched some of his pack members, as well as the Black Water, come together in the hall, taking their seat. Each and every one of them looked like walking corpse. Not to mention not even half of the ones who were training weren't here.

Eric heard Alpha Seth sigh, muttering, "she overdid it again.

Alpha Seth comment had Eric turn towards him, "Does she always train your pack?"

"Not all the time, my Zate and Eta mostly train the others but time to time she likes to train them."

"That is an odd thing for her to do?" Eric whispered.

"It is, but she likes to do more then what is asked of her. She likes to keep herself busy."

"Yet she is not sociable?" Eric raised his eyebrow. Beta Blake didn't come off as anti-social to him.

"You don't have to be present at an event to be social. You'll see." Alpha Seth frowned looking out into the crowd.

Eric looked back at the crowd and his world seemed to spin. Across the room, Eric tried everything to keep his mouth closed, Beta Blake walked towards their table with a black, skin-tight gown, revealing her shoulders and legs. Her hair curled and a lock of her hair over one shoulder.

Was she trying to seduce him? Eric sore to himself that he wouldn't get up and carry her over his shoulder and take her somewhere privet to take her.

Her scent filled his senses and he wanted more. He wanted to sit her in front of him, on the table, with her legs spread. He wanted to cup his hands over her creamy white legs. He wanted to explore every part of her body and bury himself between her legs for a feast he will never forget.

"Alpha Seth," She said bowing her head. She then turned towards Eric, "Your Highness, forgive my rudeness for not returning last night. There was something that needed my attention."

Eric studied her face, only because he didn't trust himself looking anywhere else. "You're forgiven, Beta Blake."

"Thank you," she replied, bowing once more and taken her place beside Alpha Seth at the table.

Eric felt a wave of jealousy run through his veins. It was so foreign to him. He never felt so jealous before let alone this horny for anyone.

His pants were become to tight for comfort and right now all his blood was rushing down to his groin. Goddess, help him, he wanted to attack the little she-wolf, his little mate, right here right now in front of everyone and he didn't care. He needed her. But does she need him just as badly? He couldn't tell, he glanced over towards her and she looked calm. Stone-faced. No emotion of lust filled her eyes. She was more relaxed then he was.

Blake looked out, watching the two packs mingle together like they have known each other for years. She didn't care much for talking. Blake didn't know how many times Seth came over to make breakfast and coffee for her and Ross while trying to strike a conversion.

Really, Seth was the kind of man who liked to gossip and complains about things. But that had all changed when he became Alpha. At times it was about work within the pack, which she sometimes didn't listen too, gossip about other packs and how he wanted her to be his Luna.

At last year's Hunt, Seth had attended but never found his mate. Both his parents where sadden by the news but they never lost hope for there was next year.

And if Blake attended this year, which she wasn't, he would surely make her his mate. Even for the males during the Hunt, it's hard to keep control but Alpha's are able to hold back, if they choose too, that is.

"Blake," Seth whispered, "Are you not hungry?"

Blake looked at him before looking at the plate sitting in front of her. She didn't even notice, which was a surprise. "Sorry, I have a lot on my mind," she whispered back.

"You want to talk about it?" he asked.

Another thing she hated talking about, peoples feeling let alone her own.

"No, it's nothing," She said picking her fork up to eat.

"Blake, I'm here for you," Seth said, placing his hand on my leg.

A growl filled the room, shocking the room. But Blake kept her cool and took Seth's hand and pushed it away, "Thank you but I think I'm going to retire for the night." Placing her fork on the table she got up from the table and fixed her dress. The last thing Blake needs is a jealous mate coming after her. Knowing that growl, Seth finally found a mate and is denying her.

What a pain.

*Zeta (1-3) - The war general of the pack. They take direct orders from the Alpha in case of a war. The Alpha may be the one to declare war, but the Zeta leads the army and plan the plans for war. They also train new recruits for position as a Eta and Eta or more to take his or her place in future. Normally there is only a single Zeta, but if the populace is high there can be as many as three. (War General)

*Eta (2-8) - There are at least two in a pack. The Eta are the warriors of the pack. They are led by the Zeta or the Epsilon during skirmishes and wars. Although they will take orders from the Alpha or other higher ranks if given, but the Alpha's above all. (Warriors)
