"Alexis!" I snap my head up from the book I was reading. Someone called my name? They did right? Or am I hearing things? Gosh, I should stop being so engrossed in books. "Alexis!" Someone calls again, I guess someone did call my name. They sound as if they're right by the door.

My theory was proved right as Jackson walked in. "What's up Jackson?"

"Dylan wants to see you. Well, he actually needs you. Alpha and Luna business."

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute. Where is he?"

"Office."

"Thank you." I bookmark my page and place the book on the desk. I get up and admire my ring for a second. I walk out the room and make my way to the office and walk in.

"There you are. I was wondering if Jackson actually gave you the message."

"Oh, sorry." I smile sheepishly. "I was reading."

"Sorry to pull you away from reading. We have a meeting with Alpha Chris. Your old Alpha."

"Okay. What's it about?"

"Come here." He was sitting on his chair. Gosh, lazy bum. I walk over raising an eyebrow. Was he going to answer my question? He pulls me down to his lap. He sniffs me.

"Dylan?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you answer my question?"

"Oh right, its just pack stuff." He kisses down my neck and kisses my mark.

"Dylan.."

"We have time." There was a knock on the door. "Or not." He composes himself and clears his throat. "Come in."

Chris walks in with his little boy. He was one years old. I wonder how he was coping with the loss of his mum.. He looked fine. Chris didn't though. Apparently the loss of a mate is unbearable. How was he coping?

"Dylan, Alexis."

"Hey Chris, you okay?" I ask.

"No. Not really. But I have to be, for Joseph." Chris sits in front of us with Joseph on his lap.

"Hey Joseph." I wave at him and he gives me a bright smile, waving back at me. Occasionally I would look after Joseph so he was completely fine with me.

Dylan cleared his throat again, gaining my attention. "Okay, so down to business." He spoke.

"What is it you would like to discuss?" Chris asked.

"The attack on your pack." My heart sunk at those words. I still haven't gotten over it. I mean, who could?

"What of it?"

"We're allies right?" Chris nods. "Now, this depends on you. I would like to make an offer."

"Offer?"

"Yes." Chris looked at him and then to me. I gave him the I-don't-know-what-he's-on-about look cos frankly, I don't. Chris nodded for him to continue. "I would like to propose for all your remaining pack members to join my pack and we also get your pack land, basically making a slightly bigger pack."

"What's in it for me?"

"Well, your pack has decreased so much and I thought it would be best. However, you'll have to resign from your Alpha position." Chris looked at him, thinking the whole offer over. I looked at Dylan. He was staring intently at Chris, waiting for his answer. But would he? He wouldn't he Alpha anymore.

"I accept this offer."

"Very well. We shall announce this in the evening, yes? Or we could hold on till tomorrow."

"This evening would be ideal."

"Good, we will see you and Joseph out." Dylan's hands, which were firmly placed on my waist, picked me up and placed me on my feet. Chris and Joseph got up. Joseph stood and walked towards me. He looked up and me and hugged my legs. I knelt down and hugged him kissing the top of his head. I picked him up and secured him on my waist.

He started playing with my hair as we all walked out the office. We got out the front door and I handed Joseph back to Chris. "We'll see you tonight then." Dylan spoke. Gosh, why was he so formal?

Oh yeah, he's an Alpha.. But still. A art of me liked it. Weird. Or not?

"Yes, see you tonight." Joseph waves bye to Dylan and I and we wave back. We walk back into the house and I run upstairs to get back to my book.

I sit down where I previously sat- at the desk. I picked up my book and started to read it.

I heard Dylan walk in- probably. I was engrossed in my book as usual.

"Alexis?"

"Hm?"

"You're so good with kids."

"Mhmm."

"Are you listening to me?"

"Hm?"

"I'm sleeping with someone else."

"Mhmm."

"Alexis." He said, speaking more stern. I look up.

"Yes?"

"Were you actually listening to me?"

"Kind of?"

"Oh really? You're fine with me sleeping with someone else?" I immediately felt hurt. He's sleeping with someone else? Why? How could he? I felt tears brimming at my eyes.

"Y-you're sleeping with someone else?"

"No. That just proved you weren't even listening to me." He knelt down and wiped a few tears from my cheek. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." He kisses my cheeks and then my lips. But I don't kiss back. He pulls back. "Baby, I said I'm sorry."

"That's not something to lie about. Its extremely hurtful."

"I'm sorry.. I don't know. You know I love you. I'd never cheat in you baby."

"You're mean." I sigh. "But I can't stay mad at you. I love you too much." I mumble. "Even if you're a meanie."

"I love you more." He kisses me and this time I kiss back. I quickly pull back though, teasing him. He pouts. I grin. Mwhahaha. "Who's the meanie now?"

"You." I giggle as he only just realises I said he was. Gosh he's so slow.. He playfully frowns and snatches my book from my hands. "Dylan! You're definitely the meanie now!" He runs off out the bedroom. He stole my book. Meanie.

I huff and stay in my chair. Now what was I to do? Today I just planned to sit and read. I bet he was hoping I'd run after him. Well think again, buddy.

After just staring at the wall for about five minutes, he walks back in with my book in his hand. I narrow my eyes and him. He walks over to me and holds the book up to my face.

I go to grab it but he pulls it up. I frown. I stand up and try grabbing it but again, he pulls it up higher. Why does he have to be so tall?! I jump up and try to get it but it doesn't work.

Then I had an idea. A brilliant idea. Okay, brilliant in my opinion..

I stopped trying to get it. Instead, I wrap my arms around his neck. His eyebrows furrow. I smile at him and go on my tip toes and lean in. I place my lips on his and he immediately kisses back, lowering his arms. I smirk and bring my arms back around and place my hands on his chest. I move my hands down his chest and I hear him moan.. He pulls back and kisses along my jawline and down my neck.

I feel his hands on my back and feel the book too. I quickly turn around grabbing the book and leg it out of the room and to the closest room I could find. I lock it and turn around, resting my back against the wall. I blew a sigh of relief.

"Lexi?"

"Oh hey Ollie." I always seem to bump into him. I don't care anyway, he's just the cutest little guy ever.

"What you doing?"

"Hiding from Dylan."

"Why?"

"Because that brother of yours stole my book and I got it back."

"I don't get it?" He asked, looking complete and utter confused.

"Don't worry.. I just did something naughty to him."

"Naughty?" He jumped up and stood in front of me. "What did you do?"

"Don't tell okay?" He nods. "I kissed him and stole the book. He isn't going to be very happy."

"Why not?"

"You'll understand when you're older. But, basically he likes me kissing him. But I used that against him."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Yes and no. But don't worry about that, you should wait till you're older."

"Okay. Do you want to play?"

"Alexis! Where are you? You're in big trouble!"

"Shh! We got to hide you!" Ollie whispers. "Hide in my closet!" He opens it and ushers for me to go in. But I don't. "Quickly!"

"Hide this for me." I hand him my book and get in the closet. He shuts it and I hear him shuffling his things to probably find a place for my book.

"Alexis!" I hear him call. I then hear the door knock. "Ollie, open the door please." I hear Ollie open the door and I hear Dylan's footsteps. "Have you seen Alexis?"

"Lexi? No. Where is she? I wanna play!"

"I don't know. That's what I'm asking you."

"I don't know where she is."

"Hm okay. Oh by the way, mum wants you down for lunch."

"Now?"

"Yes, now go along." I hear the small footsteps of Ollie and the door shut. I blow out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the closet door opens and I'm faced with a smirking Dylan. "Found you, love."

"Uh, I was looking for something?"

"Come on, baby. Its lunch now."

"You're honestly a meanie."

"Is that your favourite word?"

"What?"

"Meanie."

"Oh, well its actually your nickname now. Is that okay, meanie?"

"No, not at all. Or, maybe then I can call you anything I want to? Hm let me think.. Little Miss Sexy?"

"Ew no." That just sounds weird. He smirks.

"How about fuck buddy?"

"What the hell no. That's not even a lovely nickname that is just weird."

"I'll stick with baby. Or love. Or babe. Or sexy ass."

"Uh.."

"Now come for lunch." I shake my head. He grins. He picks me up bridal style and we walk out if Ollie's room to downstairs for lunch.

"Settle down everyone. Settle down!" Dylan shouts, trying to get everyone's attention. Everyone from our pack and the remaining of my old pack.

All the hushed voices quietened and they all looked at him wondering what was going on. Well they looked at Chris and I too. But I avoided their curious gazes.

"As you know, I'm Alpha Chris. But, today our packs will merge and I will step down from my Alpha position to take care of my son, Joseph." He looked at everyone smiling sadly. "And as you know, I have lost my Luna. I don't feel as if I can carry on with this pack without her beside me. And I need to be strong, for Joseph."

"So, as of today I will be your Alpha and Alexis here will be your Luna and you will treat us with the same respect you have for Alpha Chris. Our territories will merge together so we have more land and you can choose to live where you are now or even in my pack house. We have plenty of room." He looks at the crowd of people who seem to be nodding their heads in agreement.

Then I wanted to add something.. "If you don't want or like this idea you are free to leave the pack but you'll be a rogue. So you know, its your choice but staying in this pack is probably the best option for you all." I spoke with clear authority. It felt awesome. A few murmurs were heard through the crowd. "If you wish to leave, you may leave now." No one moved. No one left.

"Very well then. Get to know each other. You'll all be working as one unit together. Any petty arguments you have, put them to one side. I will not tolerate stupid arguments in my pack. And as you may know, Chase is my Beta and Callum is my Third In Command." I look around at everyone and they seem to be looking happy. "Feel free to go home."

Everyone disperses and go in different directions, even Chris. Dylan walks up to me. "That went well." I state.

"Indeed it did. Now, I think its time for a bit of fun."

"Fun? Its quite late though. Its like bed time."

"Exactly." He wriggles his eyebrows and smirks at me.

"Ohh! You mean-"

"Yeah I mean that."

"You're so cheeky you know."

"But you love me."

"Yep."

"Now come on." He picks me up bridal style for the second time today and walks towards the house and to our room. He places me onto our bed.

"Thanks, now I can sleep." I grin.

"Hey, no you don't." I roll my eyes. He grins and locks our lips together.
