A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia)

Maleah's p.o.V.

I know that every Wolf and Lycan in the restaurant has heard what I said and even though the majority of them didn't grow up in a Pack they know that what my Mother tried to do is not done.

They also know that Alpha Bradley, as an Alpha himself, should have known that she needed my permission to hand those papers to my Alphas and knowing Wolves and Lycans the way I do this little piece of information will be out there within the hour.

Let's see how Alpha Bradley will like it when another Alpha or one of his business partners confronts him with this indiscretion, because his reputation is the most important thing to him and just like every other Alpha he won't like it when someone will question him about today's events.

A male waiter shows up at the table with my order and reluctantly Alpha Bradley steps aside, "Alpha, my colleague is at your table with your order." The male says as he places my surf and turf in front of me.

I am glad I always sit at a table for two or they might have decided to join me and that is definitely the last thing I want.

I mean, just the thought alone has Fortune gagging in the back of my head and we both would like to keep our appetite, because we always enjoy our meals when we are in a hotel from this chain. Luckily for us they have a hotel in every town and city I have a boutique and that makes it easy to plan where and what we eat.noveldrama

It takes a moment before my Mother realizes I will ignore them and she follows her Mate back to their own table. Through my eyelashes I see that Alpha Bradley and my Mother get strange looks as they walk back to their table and I smile to myself as I hear a few comments from the people around me, sounds like a few of them are even on the phone telling the other side of the call what happened.

The hotel manager walks into the restaurant and most conversations go quiet again, each of them hoping to hear what the manager has to say to whomever he is here to see.

"Miss D'Angelo." The manager greets me as he reaches my table. "I was informed about some commotion near your table and I want to apologize for the disturbance." He says.

I look up at him and ask him if he was responsible for the disturbance, which we all know he wasn't.

When he shakes his head I say, "Then you don't have a reason to apologize, but I appreciate the effort. The issue resolved itself and I doubt it will occur again." The manager tells me that he has arranged another hotel for me to stay in and I know which hotel he is talking about, it is only a block from the shopping center my new boutique is located in.

Knowing there is nothing in my room I don't want anyone to see, I give him permission to have two Servants pack up my belongings.

"Once you are done with dinner you can go to the reception and they will make sure you get your luggage. They will also have your bill ready, tonight's dinner is on the house." The manager says before he walks away and I have to stifle a smile at the angry look on my Mother's face, not that Alpha Bradley is looking any happier.

As I finish my surf and turf I send Pauline a message, I need that information, I know I will have it before I am finished with dinner and before this night is over I will have completed half of my assignment.

After a waitress has cleared my table it only takes a few minutes before another waitress places a latte macchiato in front me and I look out the window as I enjoy my latte, having a very satisfied Lycan resting in the back of my head.

My phone dings to let me know I have a new message and I smile when I see it is from Mack, anyone giving you trouble the message reads. I know who he is talking about and I send him a message back to let him know I will move to another hotel with the explanation why.

Call me when you get there he sends back and I know he will try to get some answers Dax refused to give him, not that I can blame him.

I would try to get some answers if I was in his shoes and I would probably get them too, but knowing myself Mack will not get any answers from me but I won't stop him from trying.

I'd like to hear the kind of questions he is going to ask me, just a way to prepare myself for the questions I will get at the meeting with my Alphas and the rest of their leadership and of course our former leadership. Damn, I almost forgot to mention my Father.

The most questions will come from him and Colter, neither one of them ever suspected I was an Assassin and knowing now that I have my Lycan they might already suspect that I am not only a designer.

My phone dings again as I walk to the reception and I smile when I see that Pauline has send me everything my team has found so far, I will read it the moment I have arrived at the other hotel.

"Miss D'Angelo, your car is out front and your luggage is in the trunk." The receptionist tells me as she hands me my bill, I sign at the bottom line and tell her

to send it to the usual address.

I hear someone cussing and

swearing behind me and when I look

over my shoulder I see my Mother

and Alpha Bradly in the cof

his Son. Okay, now I am really confused. He doesn't look like Alpha Bradley and I wonder why anyone would believe a female went with him willingly.

He is probably about six feet tall against my 5”8, so not really the kind of guy I would go for and then I haven't mentioned the fact that he probably weighs over 200 pounds.

None of those 200 pounds are muscles and he is wearing sweatpants and a shirt that is about two sizes to small, not that that would be enough to make a female run like hell in the opposite direction.

No, it is the ice cold look in his eyes that would accomplish that.

I make it to my new accommodations without a problem and the moment the door closes behind me I call Mack, he picks up after it rings twice.

"How is the new place?" He asks the moment he picks up and I tell him the room

is fine, that it is even closer to the shopping center.

"Why didn't you stay there in the first place?" He asks and I know you have been asking yourself the same question.

"Why would I pay almost triple the amount for exactly the same room just because it is closer to the shopping center of Albarr?" I ask him in return.

"Why did Dax schedule a meeting?" he asks next and I tell him it has to do with the cancelled lunch with my Mother.

"Alpha Dax wants you all to know

what happened and maybe your Father or mine can explain the way Alpha Bradley reacted. I know there might have been a personal reason and would like to know for sure, especially if I get an invitation to a Luna Ceremony in the future." I tell him and that isn't a complete lie.

"I mean, I know what he did to Luna Elyse years ago and I would like to know if that could be the reason he was so hostile towards Alpha Dax. Or was it because he planned on drugging me during lunch as you suspected he would try one day." I say and for the next few minutes Mack ask me more questions about what happened and what was said, but I leave my answers vague.

After fifteen minutes of getting vague answers he finally gets the message and

tells me I better answer all of his questions at the meeting.

"Or I am going to find out if your aura is as strong as Commander seems to think."

He says just before he wishes me goodnight.
