simply because a shifter who happens to be an Alpha claimed a human. Most of you are mated to others outside of your species. That was the whole reason Betaille was founded. As a safe haven for us to live and love as we choose no matter the who or what of our species.” She cleared her throat and glanced back at Myka. “I have a personal stake in this. As some of you may know, Myka and I are now mated…”
Myka listened to the snickers that seemed to roll through the area and watched as she waited for the crowd to grow quiet.
Tee continued, “As I was saying, if the council is allowed to do this to the Volkshire pack what’s to stop them from trying to overthrow other Alphas and impose their will on other clans. If we step up now, we can change the face of council. We can make a difference and finally have a say.” She turned around to face the tables where the Alphas sat. “I offer ten-percent gross of our contracts proceeds and work options on choice government jobs for one year. Five percent for the year after that and three percent for the year after that and for as long as we continue to do business. I ask that you partner with the Volkshire pack to start a training program so that we may share information to expand the knowledge of our sentinels.” She pursed her lips as if in thought before she continued. “Starting with our ten best male and female fighters. I’m sure you can see how lucrative this offer is. Thank you for your time.” Tee nodded her head and resumed her seat.
Myka stared at her, clasped her hand and rubbed it against his thigh. He leaned close and whispered. “You just gave me the hardest erection I ever had.”
Percel and the other Alpha’s were deep in a murmured conversation. A commotion started in the back of the room. Those seated in the front turned, rising and dropping in their seats to see what was happening.
His fingers still tangled with Tee’s, he rose from his seat. A head was thrown down the aisle, it rolled to a stop where Tee had stood only moments earlier. The hair on the head was matted with mud and blood and the eyes were wide open giving the face a look of abject terror. It looked as if some its teeth were missing. Loubel stalked down the aisle, his people slipping through the crowd to flank him. Myka felt his canines lengthening. He pulled his hand from Tee’s and took off his glasses.
Loubel swung around and faced him. “That be the snake that attacked Tee. He was trying to start his own clutch and thought he could do that wit my cousin.” Loubel kicked at the head with the toe of his boot. “He thought wrong. I yanked out his fangs for the disrespect. Seems you folks be having a party witout me. I heard the offer and as Alpha of the pit viper clutch I want in. Accept this head here as my token to cement an alliance.”
“We already have an alliance with the constrictor clutch.” Myka growled.
Loubel waved his hand. “Jamison is a pussy.”
Myka took a step forward. Tee stood and wrapped her fingers around his arm. “Thank you, Loubel. We accept your offer.” She turned toward the panel. “What say you?”
Percel looked at the other men sitting with him. They nodded. Percel leaned on the table “As leaders of our people we accept your offer. Your war has become our war. Loubel, get that damn head out my community center.”
Myka pulled the phone from his pocket hastily dialing his father’s number as he moved through the group.
“Give me good news, Myka,” Colin answered.
“We have the alliance. Percel Babin of the wild boar herd, Etienne Mouton of the american gator clan, Armand LeBlanc of the wolverine pack and Loubel of the pit viper clutch.”
“Best news I have heard all day. How soon?”
“I’ll get the papers signed and faxed to you within the hour. How many seats does that give us, Dad?”
“Five seats on the Council, son. With our supporters, it’s more than enough to shut Heinrich down. He’s going to shit a brick.
