---- Theseus After two days of searching through the files, we still hadn't found the alliance contract we have with White Crescent Pack and I wanted to call my Father into my office to demand answers from him.

Ajax told me to ask Alpha Atlas at the Alpha bloodline competition as he doesn't trust my Father to give us the truth.

We left the contracts out on my desk and with only two more days till the competition I decide to look through them on more time.

I look through all the alliance contracts in front of me and I realize there are a few I didnt know we had an alliance with, making me wonder why my Father never told me about these.

I link my men to meet in my private office to tell my men what I found and they don't have an answer for me as well, but again Ajax tells me to approach them at the competition.

Looks like I am going to have a very busy day a head of me during the first day of the competition.

I walk into the dining room looking at the chair next to mine, a chair that remains empty until the day I find my second chance Mate and for the first time since losing my first Mate I actually hope to meet her soon.

Penelope walks in with Damien and Joseph and for a moment I think she will leave me alone tonight.

Theseus, have you made sleeping arrangements for us during the competition? She asks as she puts her hand on my arm and Damien doesn't show anything as he watches us.

I sit down in my seat and Penelope is about ---- to pull back the chair next to mine, but she releases it the moment my men start to growl.

Penelope, Ajax made all the arrangements.

The hotel is run by a Werewolf who only takes reservations from Packs that are invited to the competition.

I say as I see that Damien gets a mind-link and the paling of his face tells me that Apollo warned him to keep Penelope in check.

We will leave the day before the competition starts, we will arrive there somewhere in the afternoon and Damien will be well rested before his first fight.

I say as I look at Penelope and she nods her head as Damien tells her to take her seat.

During dinner Damien and Penelope talk about the competition, while my men and I talk through our mind- link and Midas tells me that Penelope's eyes wander in my direction every now and then.

I quickly finish my dinner to excuse myself and retreat to my private office.

One of my Warriors links me that the neighbors are back again and I actually chuckle at the phrase he uses, I contemplate on whether I should go or not, but I decide to stay in my office to get some work done.

Work I dont want my Father to get involved in during my absence, just because I don't trust him with it.

After I took over from my Father it took me a few months to realize that he had been mismanaging the Packs finances, it had taken me three years to rebuild our business and another two years to expand it.

We ---- were back to where we were when Grandpa was still in charge, we were a strong, large, and wealthy Pack.noveldrama

Expect my men, no one knows how close my Father brought us to bankruptcy and that is the reason I will leave the business side of things in the hands of Ajaxs younger Brother.

He has helped me all these years rebuilding the business and I trust him with it completely.

When I asked him to take care of business for a few days he told me to take as long as I wanted, that he would make sure everything would be taken care of and I know that he will do just that.

I told him I expected to be back the day after the competition started, and he said he was with me on Damien's chances.

I hope Damien will do better than any of us expect, but knowing Damien he will definitely be dropped after round two.

He thinks that being of the Alpha bloodline means you don't have to train, but no matter what Ajax and I have tried over the years he still doesn't believe us.

Ajax walks into my office and tells me that my Father is setting up a huge screen in the Ballroom, he wants the entire Pack to watch Damien's fight.

I even heard him say he wants to cancel border patrol that day.

I look up at Ajax and I see he is actually serious.

He follows me down the stairs and Apollo is waiting for the both of us at the bottom of the stairs and I hear my Father arguing with Midas and Xanthos.

They probably heard him as well and decided to set him straight on ---- canceling border patrol, not that he would listen to them.
