Harry fixed his hair up as he stared in the mirror. He couldn't stop trying to fix it even though to Liam it looked fine after the tenth time. Harry was nervous and it was extremely obvious.

"Harry, your hair looks fine," Liam told him. Harry shook his head and sighed.

"It can't just look fine. It needs to be perfect. I'm meeting with council, all of which have been waiting for me to take over since my mother fell pregnant," Harry informed before walking away from the mirror and turning to face his best friend.

"Take a deep breathe. No matter what they say, you're going to be Alpha. And once they find out about Alyssa-"

"Don't even remind me," Harry cut him off shaking his head as if he was trying to get the thought out of his head.

"You have to meet her after the meeting," Liam told him making Harry look at him with wide eyes.

"What? Can you please repeat that because I swear you just said that I have to meet her after this meeting?"  Harry scoffed telling himself that he must have misheard what his best friend had said.

"You heard me right, Harry. Your father told me when we were leaving yesterday. I just kept chickening out, I was afraid to tell you," Liam admitted. He felt bad for just dumping this on Harry last minute.

"No, it's fine. I just have to meet the girl that I have to be with for the rest of my life. No biggie," Harry laughed before groaning, "This is beyond fucked."

"Yeah. I know," Liam sighed. He wished everything was different. That Harry had a choice when he wanted to become Pack Alpha and a choice in who he was going to mate with but all those choices that would have, should have been Harry's was ripped away from him.

Liam looked over at the clock that was on the wall. It was time to make their way to the Pack House where the council would hold a meeting. The council was filled up with the eldest wolves of the pack, mostly high ranking and they would get together when problems occurred to brainstorm ideas to fix it.

"Time to go. Are you ready?"

"You seem to keep asking me that. I don't think I'll ever be ready," Harry said truthfully. Liam didn't say anything when they began their journey towards the Pack House. Most of the children from the Pack were at school or were playing around in the yards and so the Pack House was quite empty.

Liam and Harry made their way into the common room where about a dozen of wolves were already seated. Harry's father sat at the head of the table, being Pack Alpha made him the council leader which would be passed over to Harry when he would take over his father's role.

Harry made sure to smile at a couple of the elders, them having been so involved in his life ever since he was born. They were like family. Liam and Harry finally sat down when the Pack Alpha gave them a nod.

"Since we appear to all be here, we shall begin. I have received a form of request from the Crescent Pack and they have asked permission to cross our lands," Rick informed the council. There was chatter amongst some of the members as they all tried to take in this information.

"But they've been there for 300 years, why are they moving from their territory?" Maxine, one of the council members wondered.

"Who the hell cares? Just let them leave. I say we take their land after and expand," Paul chimed cheekily. He sent a mischievous wink to Harry and Liam who both had to force themselves not to laugh. Paul was one of the only council members they genuinely liked.

"I say we have to send troops. They may be up to something. We need to evaluate what's really happening before they cross our territory," Susan, The Pack Beta said. She was the second in command in the Pack and her idea had to be taken under consideration.

"Seems like a smart decision. Any objections?" Rick questioned looking around the table for any disagreements and when there wasn't any, he looked back at his Beta, "Very well. Susan, take some men with you and look for any reasons why they are requesting to flee their land."

Susan nodded her head before she stood from her chair, nodded at two wolves to follow her before she walked out of the common room to begin her mission. Harry watched as his father stared after her longingly.

"As you all know, rogue attacks against Bloodmoon have become increasingly common. Just last night we had an incident," Rick said. Harry and Liam knew that there were rogues near their land but they were under the impression that nothing had happened.

"What exactly happened with this incident?" Bobby wondered. Harry and Liam knew him quite well as his son Niall was around their age.

"When our wolves reached the threat, they discovered that there was a young hunter from the Silencers. We have captured Mark Tomlinson's son and I would like to discuss what everyone believed should happen to him."

"Kill him!"

"Imagine how many of us he's slaughtered."

"He's too dangerous to keep alive."

"There will be no killing," Harry stated. It was the first time that he had spoken and it made the whole council turn to him.

"You need to-" Someone began.

"I will be your Alpha in a matter of a few weeks. What I say, goes. You will keep this boy a hostage but there will be no killings. I don't want these Silencers coming after us for a war if they find out that he's dead. We will release him when I have decided he is not a threat to our Pack anymore," Harry spoke with such power that it made the other wolves bow their heads in submission. Liam couldn't help but smirk. Harry was born to be alpha.

"Any objections?" Rick looked around the table but the council members kept their heads down, "That is the ending of the meeting. You're free to leave. Except Harry and Liam. I need to speak to the both of you."

All the council members gathered out of the room but Harry and Liam remained seating. Harry's father turned to the two before sighing.

"You know what you're doing with this hunter?" Rick questioned. Harry nodded his head even though he knew for a fact that he was not sure at all but he certainly didn't want his father to know that, "Now I have someone waiting outside for you, Harry. Be nice and don't fuck up like usual. This wedding is going to happen, get over it."

Harry sighed before he follow his father outside of the common room. There waited a man that Harry recognised was in the council meeting and a girl around his age. She was looking anywhere but Harry. 

"Rick," The man smiled shaking the Pack Alphas hand, "Nice to meet you officially, Harry. I'm Simon."

"Likewise," Harry responded before Simon turned towards his daughter.

"Alyssa, time to say hello," Simon informed making the girl look up at Harry. Her soft eyes met his and she gave him a gentle smile.

"Nice to meet you," She said quietly, "I'm Alyssa."

"It's nice to meet you, too. I'm Harry," He replied politely. He could tell easily that the young omega girl was nervous and he didn't want to make her feel.

"Alright, now we are going to leave you two to get to know each other better. The ceremony will take place in three weeks time," Rick announced. Simon laughed in excitement whilst Harry and Alyssa both widened their eyes at the fact of it being so soon.

"Have fun," Simon told them before The Pack Alpha gave a look to Liam to follow. Liam patted Harry on the back for good luck before he followed the older men down the hallway leaving the soon to be married couple alone.

"So...."
