Kelner's POV.

It's been a week since Naya took her place as Alpha and addressed her pack as her own. I've never see someone more suited to the role than her. Watching her work and how she handles the problems of each pack member is incredible, she's a natural. When you hear the phrase that someone is 'born for greatest', that is my Naya. My feelings for her have grown to incredible heights and I can't wait till I completely call her mine.

Today is her first meeting with many different Alphas and The Council of all Wolves, as a new reigning Alpha; I just know she will do great and impress them with how she is doing. Together our packs will become stronger than they ever were before, I can only hope to be as good of an Alpha as she is already becoming. When I've jokingly brought up how bad of an Alpha I will be compared to her, she is so quick to encourage me. She tells me often that I will be amazing since I love and care for my pack so much- which is not exactly a lie, I do love my pack as if they were my family, no they are family.

I get dressed in my room for the Council meeting and once completed I walk over to Naya's room, as my eyes rest on her I take my time looking at every delectable curve she has, I can't help it, she was created beautifully and just for me. She is wearing a deep blue feminine pantsuit, a pristine white shirt and a pair of black low heals. When meeting with The Council it has always been important for everyone to dress properly and accordingly. I'm wearing a dark black suit and dark blue shirt that almost matches the colour of her outfit. I open my hand for her to grab a hold and together we walk to the conference room, The Council and all the Alphas have already arrived for meeting, right on time.

I stop her just as she reaches for the handle and turn her towards me slowly, I look into her eyes and place my hands on her shoulder in a comforting gesture "don't let them push you around just because you are a female, you are a strong woman and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to stand with. I will support you in everything, although we had our moments of tension about you becoming Alpha, now all I can think is how you were born for this. My beautiful Alpha." She nods and squeezes my right hand that holds onto her.

Without further ado she turns away from me, takes a deep breath and opens the conference doors. We walk to our seats at one end of a long table, her at the head and me at her right, with Trent already seated on her left. She passes nods around the table to faces she recognizes, and she begins in a strong but polite commanding voice that draws the attention of everyone "Gentlemen, I thank you kindly for arriving so promptly and on such short notice, I know we had set the date for this meeting to an earlier time but if you look to my right, you can see the reason as to why it was set back" she grabs my hand as she finishes.

One of the Alphas at the table rudely answers "where is your father? Shouldn't he be joining us?" My mate's face slightly scrunches in offense, not enough for anyone but me and Trent to notice, "My father will not be joining us seeing as he has passed the position of Alpha to me." There are many gasps around the table from the multitude of gathered men, there must be at least twenty altogether. A young and newly appointed Alpha speaks up "but you are just a woman, why would he leave you to run his pack when he has a son? A woman can't run a pack as well as a man can. You clearly have found your mate, why don't you have him take your his place as Alpha, or has he allowed your beauty to entrap him into allowing you to run a pack."

Both Naya and I growl at the degrading remark against not only her but me as well, although her growl is slightly more vicious than mine. I quickly grab her hand to calm her down, she stands up to answer "Alpha Barsten, you are invited here as my guest, if we can not keep a polite front then I suggest you take your leave; I am just as capable as any man to run a pack. Indeed, I understand a female Alpha is unusual, seeing as I'm the most recent female in a long time who has not to give her position to her mate, but I have the strength and the ability to run my pack just as efficiently as you can. Even though it has been just over a hundred years since the last longstanding female Alpha, it doesnt mean its impossible, times have changed. If you believe I am incapable, instead of offending me, wouldn't it be smarter to first allow me to prove myself of my position?"

Now it was Barsten's turn to growl at the smartly veiled threat my mate just issued. I was truly impressed, she knows just how to handle an Alpha who was in need of a reminder of his place. I look around the table to see the Alphas that were first surprised at a female Alpha, every one of them was looking pleased at her response and I could see appreciation and acceptance in each of their faces. My mate had balls, pun intended. She was smart and knew just how to put someone in their place when she saw fit. I find myself becoming even more strongly attracted to her, she is certainly a force not to be reckoned with.

"Does anyone else have anything to say about my...feminine qualities?" Her look is steady as she glances around the table making eye contact with each person before moving onto the next. One of the Councilmen decides to speak up first "well that is one way to impress on us your ability to be a strong Alpha, female or not I'm not sure any one of us could have handled that better. I am intrigued by you Natayshia Lincole, it will be most interesting to see how you grow into your Alpha position. You father has always been a great man and an even better Alpha. It is quite clear you have had the privilege of learning from him, I have all the confidence that you will do the same. Especially after the way you handled Barsten there" he says as he points to the young but foolish Alpha's direction.

"Thank you Councilman Rattiver, but we are not here to pick fights with each other or place oneself ahead of another. We are here so all of you can see and understand who I am as a fellow Alpha, and if there will be renewals of treaties or makings of new treaties with me now as Alpha."

"Well said Alpha Natayshia, I couldn't have said it better myself," Councilman Vegulter responds. Naya takes her seat again, still holding my hand in hers- rather tightly i might add, I assume she still needs more time to calm down so I do not pull my hand away. She finally begins the meeting as it should have from the start "My first matter of business is addressing the matter of a renewal of treaty with the Iron Paw Pack. Alpha Jackaver, do you wish to renew the treaty with me, Alpha Natayshia of the Silver Claw Pack, or terminate it?"

"I, Alpha Jackaver of the Iron Paw Pack, would like to renew the treaty with you, Alpha Natayshia of the Silver Claw Pack." Naya turns to Trent, "begin the paper work for the renewal of treaty. Alpha Jackaver, thank you for your acceptance." The rest of the meeting continued on like this, Alphas accepting or asking to have a treaty of their own. There is also the option of rejecting a treaty, which could be either on our part our theirs. You can guess exactly just which Alpha rejected our renewal of treaty with his pack, and he was the only one.

Wow, honestly my sweets, when I started writing this I had no idea where I was going with it or what I was doing. Everything just flowed out on its own, it's interesting how stories begin to have a mind of their own.

I feel like this chapter is pretty rough and has quite a few grammatical errors but don't worry it will be edited by my editor when she's finished with my first book.

So tell me what you think?!! Is it good so far? It's Natayshia's first major struggle with becoming the first longstanding Alpha. I wonder what will happen next!
