It's A Long Way To The Top

After living in the house for so long, he had yet to meet the Alpha himself for a certain reason. The Beta female or what he prefers to call her, Red has been a pleasure in making his stay worth while. She was nice enough to give him gas that first day as well as give him a pack that was trustworthy for him to survive within. He'd been expecting to see Alpha Gabriel for some time now but with his little activity outside his room and all the work he's been putting in for a new car down at the bar, he hasn't had the time to talk with the leader face to face. The Omegas were kind enough to polish his guitar but he refused. His guitar was one of the many things he let no one touch for many reasons on top of it all. It was one of those things that was hard to explain, so he never shared it about himself. He quickly slipped on a fresh white t-shirt and newly cleaned ripped jeans he's had for what seemed ages. And lastly putting away his guitar behind his clothes in the back of his closet. Boy was this place nicer than his last home. The trailer was fitting enough for one person like him, but this. This was like living out of royalty.

Smoothing his hair back from the little nervousness inside him, he opened the door and headed down the hall and up the stairs to see a fine dark wood set of double doors at the end of a long hallway. A trapped breathe escaped his lips. "Let's get this shit over with." Little by little he neared the double doors but was stopped as a familiar voice hovered inside his head. Oh come on, don't be such a pansy ass. You're makin' me look weak, dude. Move damnit! Alexander shook his head and glared mentally to his other half. Quit bothering me, you nit. I can handle myself. The man walked again, slowing to a halt as he stood in front of the doors. His hand raised silently and he closed his eyes, knocking a few times before putting it back down at his side. "Alpha Gabriel? If you are in there, it is I, Warrior Alexander Reese. You have never met me, but I hope to change that after we are finished here. I have come to speak with you of my rank."

The room was nice and cool from the air conditioning that swept through the house to keep it cool in the summer's heat, just the way Gabriel liked it. The curtains were a thick black to keep the heat from the sun outside and gave the room a dim appearance, making Gabriel's golden eyes the brightest thing with the room. The walls were wood and made of pine, the smell giving comfort the Gabriel's wolf half. The two were relaxing, having the very first break they'd had in what felt like ages. Gabriel had known he'd be more then a little busy getting a pack started before it finally settled, but this was ridiculous! And not to mention the amount of emails he'd gotten from packs all over the world warning about the rising aggression of the Hunters. Gabriel was more then a little worried, and was working as hard as he could to dig up information on them and protecting his borders.

Gabriel was more then a little grateful for his little wolf, Tei. The Beta had proven more then she could to prove her loyalty to the pack with her brining in more and more wolves. It surprised Gabriel how much this stressed him out, and he swore to himself that once he'd gotten more time on his hands he'd meet and interact with every last one of them. Sighing the Alpha stretched out on the leather couch for visitors and listened to the whir of the computer's monitor and the ceiling fan swirling above. His eyes scanned over the large bookcase filled with information on all kinds of species that he used in emergencies and tried to think of any that would help his case.

His wolf half perked his ears and Gabriel allowed himself to feel the air around him. He could feel a pack mate on the other side of the door, but said nothing as he felt the other's nerves. Gabriel was grateful for his Alpha abilities, for it kept him and his pack safe when the situation required it. Gabriel tilted his head and took in a deep breath to settle his wolf side as it snarled at the other on the other side of the door. Gabriel hated his wolf side, for it was as evil as he'd been when he was younger and had first set foot in America. Ever since Gabriel had turned to the good side to try and do well in his father's name both sides had been at war on each other, for both were Alphas at heart and wouldn't give in. Gabriel had never shared this fact with anyone, for Pure Bloods were suppose to be in sync with their wolf side.

"Come in." Gabriel said, his tone low, dark, and dangerous like the wolf that resided in him. His power sparked through the room as the door opened, his wolf side, warming the room slightly before residing as Gabriel shoved the wolf down. He sat up and stood from the couch, his golden eyes taking in the new member. "What about your rank do you wish to speak about?" His voice was low and commanding, but it had some friendliness in it, but the authoritative tone demanded respect.

[[ This is after Realten's border post btw. (; Heyyyy ]]

At his words, Alexander reached for the knob and turned it open, stepping inside the square and airconditioned room that held a elegant, yet manly feel in his opinion. Curtains as black as night hung from their silver rods and hooks, causing the room to appear darker than he would want. He looked at the American styles so much differently compared to England's. If it were his choice of style in decor, the curtains wouldn't even be there to block the welcoming sun's glory, nor would the windows be closed no matter if it was one of the hottest days in the summer season. The pack's scent he presumed was probably the strongest here, it stung inside his nostrils for it still hasn't settled in after a few weeks. A man far more built then him with tanner complexion rose to his feet, the power of control practically radiated off his skin, but his eyes were the two features that could slice through a single wereling's soul. The Alpha himself stood before him, a black plush leather couch behind him. Alexander caught a pain of worry that he had disturbed him at the worst time, but as an Alpha, he probably has gotten used to it by now. "As you can tell, I've been a warrior amongst this pack for quite a while now, Teimhnin accepted me in the greatest time in need and since then I've been helping both Betas, and yourself with border patrols. If it much to ask, I would like to reason with my capabilities here and now to possibly become of the Delta or doubtfully the Elite Male position." He kept his hands placed behind his back, straightening his posture to appear prouder than he really was for he had close to nothing to be proud of at this point.

Since he was younger wereling, all he's managed to do was protect his twin brother long enough til they were of age to become a full-grown adult. Unfortunately for him, he lost his brother for he sided with love, but all that mattered is that he was happy for it made Alex happy as well. Though, the roads are lonely which caused him to drink away the lonesome feeling of there never being someone for him anymore. But that changed when he stumbled upon the scent after breaking down at the side of the road. Teimhnin, the Beta female and redhead he nicknamed 'Red' both for her hair color and fiery personality. Alexander politely bowed his head in a nod for all due respect towards his only Alpha, standing to his original form. "If it is too much to ask, then I shall be on my way. I will truthfully understand your opinion, sir." His British accent slurred perfectly in all the right places, indicating towards Gabriel that he was an Englishman by heart and wouldn't loose his only origin cause of being an American. He truly despised them all, but who was he one to judge? Alexander was the typical European drunk and musician, the fact he held the enough confidence today while still remaining sober relaxed him. But would it be enough to keep him from trembling?

The Alpha remained still, something that unnerved most, but it was something he couldn't help, or really tell he was doing. He did it when he was hunting, or when he was deep in thought. He listened to the male's words and listened as Pirate growled within his mind. "Είχε κάνει μια καλή Elite." (He'd make a good Elite.). Gabriel almost jumped at the sound of his wolf's own voice. The two hadn't spoken to each other in ages, and this was the first time he'd heard his wolf speak in their original tongue of Greek. Gabriel's golden eyes narrowed as he studied the male, his thoughts flying as he pondered this situation. He knew Alexander had indeed been a good helper when it came to accepting members, but could he protect the pack? Could he keep things calm during a dangerous situation?

"Do you know how to fight? Would you be willing to give your own life for a pack mate? I know you don't have much experience with pack life, but we're all family here, and family defend each other. With a raise of rank comes pain, responsibility, and a lot of stress that most can't seem to handle. So, can I trust you? If I were to give you the rank of Elite?" Gabriel's eyes were critical and he used every Alpha Senses he had to try and taste the character of the Wereling before him. He didn't invade his mind, something he'd never do without permission unless duty called for him to. Gabriel was unsure about this wolf, and he knew it should bother him, but it was good. He didn't want to put just anyone in a position where they had to protect his pack. He'd met many wolves that couldn't handle it, but he was almost confident that Alexander could. Almost.

He chuckled a bit at his first few questions. If anything, that's all he knew was fighting. "My heart goes into my music and most of all work, sir. You can count on my to have everything fulfilled before you can make a pot of coffee. I am a man of my word and promise you nothing more but to protect my peers and this pack with my life. Throughout my years of living I've never once gained a friend or person to trust my entire life with but Teimhnin. If anything were to happen to her I'd do everything in my mind to save her and kill the, excuse my language, jackass who ever tried to hurt her. The same goes for you and anyone else from this pack..." Just when he thought his voice was going to trail off into thought, Alexander smiled and stayed still as the image of being given such a higher rank stirred in his mind. It felt strange, yet satisfying to both Jasper and him to realize. What bothered him was that Jasper seemed to of not smiled as bright as he expected, he stood still, training on his ears to connect with Gabriel's. Alexander never really bothered to ask his wolf what he did half of the time with the relationship they have, he just trusted him automatically. He felt a disturbance between both wolves, knowing that Gabriel's wolf was speaking, but not directly to them, just his self.

Putting the thought aside from asking, he kept his eyes narrowed towards the Alpha, nodding in respect once again. "It'd be an honor working so closely at your side along with the Betas. I've come to know him as you can tell, and I know for sure I wouldn't cause any disruptions between them. Over my many years of survival, I've taught myself the basics and worked up to this point in life to be able to live off my own instincts and strengths without a pack to follow. As my Alpha, you have my trust to know that I keep my word when given, and sir? You have mine, that promise will and shall not ever be broken." Alexander breathed a long sigh of relief to get that off his chest, feeling Jasper back up submissively and lay down at the back of his mind where he rightfully belonged. He eyes hardened into a glacier blue as he blinked, scratching the stubble over his chin with impatience to get out of the room.
