Chapter 10

    I was slightly upset that Seth didn''t tell me I looked pretty, or even nice, when he saw me. I didn''t need


    him to boost my ego, or settle my insecurities, in anyway. It just would have been nice since I had


    dressed up for his benefit. But he waspletely indifferent towards me, like always.


    His office, inside arge building full of other small offices and conference rooms, wasrge and grand.


    The sound of a grandfather clock ticked loudly in the room, as a serious looking Seth sat behind his


    mahogany desk working on paperwork.


    "Sit" he told me, waving me over to the leather couch on the other side of the room.


    "Woof" Imented, walking over to the couch. Seth looked up at me in confusion. "If you''re going to


    give me orders like a dog, I may as well act like one" I snapped. He didn''t reply, just narrowed his eyes


    at me, before going back to his paperwork. I sat awkwardly on his couch for a few minutes.


    About ten minutes of ufortable silence – well ufortable for me, Seth didn''t seem to notice –


    the inte on his desk crackled. "Alpha, Dean said you wanted to see me?"


    "Yes, Josh" Seth replied to his Beta. "I need the files of every Shifted Wolf between the ages of sixteen


    and eighteen".


    "On it now, boss" Josh replied, before the inte clicked out. After that silence filled the room once


    more. I shifted ufortably for a few minutes, before deciding that if Seth was going to ignore me, I


    might as well getfy. I settled on the couch, and yed a few games on my phone for a while.


    About forty minutester a knock came on the door and Josh walked in. His arms were piled high with


    brown files, each with a whitebel containing a name of a Pack member. "Don''t ce them down just


    yet" Seth said, standing up from his desk. He buttoned his jacket, almost automatically, before


    gesturing for me to stand to.


    "ce them in the office next door" he told Josh. The Beta nodded before disappearing back outside


    the office. Seth then turned to me. "Come, I have work for you". He turned and followed his Beta, I


    moved of the couch and slowly trailed out. In the adjoining office, Josh ced all the files down.


    "The only file we haven''t got is Rafa Nix because it''s with Oli because of the--" Josh paused and


    nced at me, "--situation" he settled on.


    "I thought Oli sorted that outst week" Seth sighed, and my interests were peaked.


    "Mostly, but he is just finishing the report".


    "Fine" Seth nodded. Josh then left us in the room. Seth gestured for me to sit at the desk, I had a


    feeling he was about to put me to work so I wasn''t happy. But I sat down anyway, even if I gave a big


    sigh to show my displeasure with the turn in events.


    "Here I have files of all the Pack members who could possibly be a guard for you during the day" Seth


    began.


    "I thought Dean would be my guard, he''s the third inmand right?"


    "He will be. But unless he wants to get arrested for hanging around a school all day, spying on teenage


    girls, we''ll have to get someone else to watch over you when you''re at school" he exined.


    I groaned, "do I really have to go to school?"


    "Yes,e on it''s not long until summer. You need to finish your Junior year off and then you only have


    your Senior year to get through. It''s not like I want you to go to college or anything" he rolled his eyes.


    "Yeah but it''s not like I need the diploma. I''m going to spend my life as a glorified babymaker and


    housewife" I retorted. Seth paused and looked at me through suspicious eyes.


    .


    .


    "I don''t know how they did things in your old Pack, but in my Pack the Luna is as much the leader as


    the Alpha. When you graduate high school, you''ll be in this office every day working and helping me


    run the Pack. I don''t need a housewife, May, I need a Luna. I don''t know if you''re up for the job, but I''ve


    imed you and made you my mate so you need to be up for the job".


    I was shocked, in my Pack the Luna pretty much just made cookies and popped out babies. Which was


    one of the main reasons I didn''t want to be a Luna – I hated baking and I hated babies even more. But


    finding out that Seth actually wanted me to work and lead, made me slightly more excited about the


    prospect of being his Pack''s Luna.

    "Anyway, today''s work" Seth brought my attention back to the files. "Like I said you need a guard


    during the day. And don''t say that you don''t, because you do. I''m about to go to war, I have a lot of


    enemies and you have yet to shift. You need constant protection and if neither Dean or I can be there


    to protect you, then there needs to be someone who will".


    He fired up theputer and opened a nk document for me. "I need you to look through all these


    files and select two names for people to guard you. Don''t forget that they both need to be attending the


    same High School, there are a few schools around here so make sure you research the school you


    want to go to. And don''t just chose two random names, I need a full report on why they have been


    chosen".


    I groaned, "reports? Are you serious?"


    "Always" he replied with a sigh. He nced at his watch as he walked towards the door. He paused


    and nced over his shoulder at me, "I''ll be back at twelve for lunch. I expect you to be either finished


    or near to finishing by then". With that he left.


    I read through a few files before instantly getting involved in the task. Inside there were details about


    the Wolf themselves including; age, gender, height, weight, strength, speed, fighting skills and any


    additional information just as medical conditions or important notes. I looked over the schools that were


    in the area, and quickly looked them up on theputer.


    I settled for one as it had a girls'' ser team and an archery club – both sports I was a fan of. So after


    I decided on the school, I eliminated the Wolves that weren''t enrolled there. I flicked through the


    Wolves deciding to choose both a She-Wolf and a male Wolf.


    I decided on my first guard quickly; Shawna Turner. A seventeen year old She-Wolf, who was marked


    highly on strength and speed, but she was also in the girls'' ser team. I quickly wrote up a quick


    report on her, and my reasons for my choice, before looking through the remaining files.


    It took me longer to decide on the male guard, but I finally settled on Javier Estervers. He was a recent


    transfer to the Pack, with high fighting skills and previous fencing championships from his previous


    school. I decided to choose him because I had always wanted to learn fencing and selfishly thought he


    might teach me. But my reasons in the report were because of his fighting abilities and due to his


    recent transfer would be sympathetic to my change.


    I was finishing the report when Seth walked back in – I was shocked it was lunch all ready. Shockingly,


    I had really enjoyed the work. Not only because it was actually interesting learning about all the


    different Wolves in the Pack but also because I was being given a say in something. My parents


    dictated a lot of what I did and I hated that, but Seth was actually giving some responsibilities and


    freedom.


    "How far through are you?" he questioned, leaning over my shoulder to look at theputer screen.


    His familiar scent, masculine and strong, hit me like a bus and warmed me inside slightly.


    "Yeah so I''m just finishing the report on the second person" I exined. "I can finish it off after lunch, it


    won''t take me long".


    "Good" Seth nodded, "who did you choose?"


    "Shawna Turner and Javier Estervers".


    He nodded, eyes looking down at me with encouragement. "Those are sensible choices. Are you


    happy with your school choice?"


    "Yeah they have a ser team and an archery team" I exined.


    "You y those sports previously?"


    "Yeah I was captain of my ser team back home and...let''s just say that archery was my life for a


    while" I shrugged, not wanting to disclose what archery really meant to me. "My therapist said I had a


    lot of pent up rage so my father put me in sports to stop me beating up my brother".


    Seth''s lips quivered as he tried not tough, "I''m not surprised. I thought your brother was older?"


    "Oh he is. And I''m pretty sure that is why he doesn''t like me now. I used to bully him as a kid. He was a


    bit of pussy so I would torment him and when he Shifted, and I didn''t, he turned the tables. I guess I


    kind of deserved it".


    "Maybe" he considered, "but siblings are meant to fight".


    "Yeah but the younger sister isn''t supposed to beat the shit out of the older brother who is set to be


    Beta" I retorted. Seth finally chuckled, shaking his head, before moving away from me slightly.


    "Right, let''s get some lunch and then we''lle back up here".


    "Seth" I called, making him pause in the doorway. "Thank you for letting me choose my own guards. It


    really makes me feel nice you''re actually giving me work and not pointless filing or leaving me around


    to do nothing".


    He nodded, actually looking happy with my words, "you''re a Luna, you deserve responsibility".
