Page 35 of Her Bully Alpha

I parked and headed inside, taking the stairs in the back to the correct floor. I waved at the gal running the desk and headed down the hallway towards the room we had the meeting in before. I didn’t bother knocking as I opened the door and stepped inside.

The Council were all seated, and the one in the middle spoke up. “Morning, Jay. You’re a little early for the meeting.”

I shrugged as I took a seat in the chair that was set out for me. “I have a long day ahead of me and don’t really have time to waste. So, why did you want to see me?”

One of the women scowled and tilted her head. “Have you been trying for a child yet?”

I scowled. Was that why they wanted to have a meeting with me?

“You called me here to ask how my sex life was?”

“No, we are asking if you’ve taken your role seriously and understand the pressure we are all under to ensure we continue to thrive.”

“Are you calling other people in and asking them personally the last time they got laid?”

Someone slammed their hand down, irritated. “We are asking the Alpha of a pack! Stop being a smartass and answer the question.”

I couldn’t help but internally smirk. Maybe I was spending too much time with Sam, and her sassy nature was rubbing off on me.

I shrugged. “I don’t see why you need to know the details of the progress. You should trust that as Alpha, I take my role seriously, as do all the rest.”

The one in the middle leaned back. “Seeing as you are the first person to be paired with a human, we wanted to know if this is the correct course to take. We don’t want to waste time having you fornicate with a human if it’s not working. When the virus is over, or we have a solution, you can easily sweep this under the rug. If you're uncomfortable admitting..”

I scowled, feeling like a nerve was plucked. “I’m not sharing the details of my sexual activity because I find it disgusting if that’s what you were about to say. I don’t share the details of my sexual activity to anyone because it’s none of your fucking business.” I ground my teeth together. “And if you say human one more time in that tone, I swear, I’ll jump that table and punch.”

They all straightened a little, and one of the women smirked. “I would safely say you’ve been intimate if you're willing to threaten us so easily. When do you think you will be with child?”

Of course, I was going to threaten them. They acted like Sam was just a piece of property to me that I could get rid of when they found a solution to the virus. She was my wife, and I wanted her when this was all said and done. I would continue to want her.

She was soft and caring. Even if I was grumpy, she didn’t mind it. She understood me but also didn’t back down if I was being a dick. She was perfect for me, and I didn’t need them to make her sound like she was anything less than perfect.

“Is that all you needed? You just wanted to see if I was getting laid?”

They remained silent for a moment, and I pulled myself up, adjusting my shift. “If you request another meeting with me it better be something important because this was a waste of my time.”

“When do you think you will be having children?”

“When I feel good and ready,” I snapped back. “And maybe instead of looking at my wife for an answer, you guys should focus more on figuring out a solution for all those other people out there struggling to conceive.”

“We are focusing on an answer.”

“Having humans bear our children is not the answer! It’s a fucking band aid!” I curled my hands into fists, thinking of Nessa. I thought of all the women I knew who couldn’t bear children. “What is your solution for them? Are you going to tell their husbands to go out and fuck a human? Call that the solution?”

They remained quiet.

“My exact point.” I looked at each of them. “Find a solution for them rather than asking if I’m focusing my attention on getting laid because I’m not! I’m out there trying to find something for them; I’m trying to keep my people from losing their minds because they can’t have children!”

“You need to be a good example.”

“An example!? Really? I should fuck my wife and knock her up and parade her around like she’s the solution? She’s a person! She didn’t ask to be dragged into this! No human out there is going to scream at the chance to mate with us when you act like they are to be used like fucking cattle!”

One of them stood up. “Lower your voice!”

“Use your fucking brains.” I snarled back. “Find us a solution!” I turned and marched out. I could hear them yelling at me, but I didn’t stop. My entire body felt like it was on fire with rage.

How could they think that this was going to save us? That pairing us up with humans was the solution to everything.

I stormed to my car and yanked my phone out. I wanted Sam. I just wanted to talk with her, to hear her voice.
