Capítulo 11: Pack Meeting

***Ryker***

My two hundred pack members (pups not included) chattered away in the open meeting pack grounds awaiting my speech. I stood on the podium stage made of oaken woods. Behind me, my beta stood alongside Theodore and his father Pete who wasn't even supposed to be standing on the rostrum.

He was the first born of my grandfather Zaid Manoa and my grand mother Marie Manoa. I hadn't met her, was told that she passed on even before my dad became the Alpha. As if that was not enough, shortly after my grand mum's death, uncle's mate of one year went missing shortly after giving birth to my cousin Theo.

Following the loss of his mate, granddad went stark raving mad for a few day after which he died. It was common for mates to run mad after the loss of their other mate and would shortly die after that.
