Roy was quiet all through the meeting because he wasn’t paying any form of attention to whatever it was they were saying but luckily his beta was listening and giving his own opinion and suggestions when necessary. For all he cares they were talking rubbish, no one had the right to tell him how to run his pack. They were all lucky they hadn’t talked out of line because if any did, even if it was by mistake, he wouldn’t hesitate in using that person as a perfect example for the rest. He knew they were all acting like assholes because he was mateless. They were all after his position as alpha but they would only have a taste of it in their dreams.

He couldn’t think of anything besides Kimberly. He wondered what she was doing at the moment. He could somehow tell she wasn’t crying because of the bond. If she was, he would feel her pain. Roy knew it was Christine’s doing and he was glad he made the right choice by asking her for help.

‘Roy you need to make up your mind. Is she your mate or is she not?’ he mentally fought with his wolf when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder, bringing him back to reality.

“Uncle…”

Roy was surprised to see his uncle here. It has been weeks since he last saw him because he was brooding over his mateless life. His uncle understood what he was going through and gave him his space which he was grateful for. If he didn’t have an uncle like Alan, who would’ve been there for him during his difficult times?

“How are you doing son?” Alan asked with a small smile.

Roy could tell his uncle was feeling sorry for him because of the rumors people were spreading about him.

“I’m good I guess” he replied, looking anywhere but his uncle, whom he didn’t want to read his expression because Alan was good at doing that.

Only when he looked around did he realize that the meeting was over.

“Can we talk somewhere private?” his uncle asked, gesturing for them to go outside.

“Sure” Roy nodded, following Alan out of the meeting room.

“Roy… are you alright?” Alan asked as soon as they got to his house.

Roy didn’t say anything, instead he took a seat on the armchair in his uncle’s living room.

“You barely paid any attention to what the members of the council were saying all through the meeting” his uncle continued

“Why should I?... They know those bodies have nothing to do with this pack yet they scold me for it because I’m an easy target” he finally opened up

Roy was quite defensive when it came to his pack, which was the duty of every alpha. Alan understood that pretty well, so he let out a sigh before he spoke
