Chapter 366 The Company They Cannot Ignore

By the time I returned to my office the following morning, Rhys had already sent me three messages about the bloodline records. 

I read them while Cheryl arranged the documents I needed for the day’s meetings, but none contained the authorization we were looking for. 

I was about to call Rhys when he appeared at my door with his tablet. 

“You need to see this.” 

“What happened?” 

“Three packs have publicly named F-Tech as their preferred provider for security and communications. Two issued statements overnight. The third announced its decision less than an hour ago.” 

I took the tablet from him. The statements came from packs in different territories, each explaining why they had chosen F-Tech. They mentioned encrypted communication, 

emergency response coordination, secure record storage, and the ability to withdraw from the system without losing control of their own information. 

None of them had agreed to surrender authority over their pack affairs. 

“Did we know they were planning to announce this?” I asked. 

“No. We knew they were testing the system, but none of them informed us about a public declaration.” 

I scrolled through the statements. 

One Alpha had praised our security team for protecting sensitive information without demanding access to the pack’s internal records. 

Another emphasized that its members could contact medical support during emergencies without waiting for permission from a neighboring Alpha. 

The third statement was brief but direct. F-Tech had earned their trust, and they intended to continue working with us. 

“Have the other packs responded?” 

“Several have contacted our office asking about the process. A few want demonstrations before

making a decision.”

I handed the tablet back. “Make sure we don’t promise more than we can provide. Our current system hasn’t been fully deployed across every territory.” 

“Already noted. I’ve told the team to give them the actual rollout schedule.” 

After he left, I opened the latest operational report. F-Tech had started as a company built around secure technology and practical services. 

Over time, our work had expanded into emergency communication, data protection, and support for packs that lacked the resources to maintain their own systems. 

The bloodline project had brought new responsibilities, but we had never required participating packs to recognize me as an authority over them. 

They could choose our services, set their own access limits, and leave the network if they no longer wanted to participate. 

Apparently, that freedom had become one of our strongest selling points. 

My phone rang before I could finish the report. It was an Alpha from one of the packs that had been considering our proposal. 

“I saw the announcements,” he said. “Your company is attracting attention.” 

“I noticed.” 

“My council wants to know whether F-Tech intends to become the central authority for bloodline security.” 

I leaned back in my chair. “No. We’re a service provider. Each pack retains control of its own decisions and records.” 

“That’s what your proposal says. But three public endorsements will make other Alphas look to you before making their own decisions. Some will start treating your recommendations as instructions.” 

“Then we’ll make our position clear. We can provide information, security, and emergency support. We don’t replace the leadership of any pack.” 

He paused. “You may not be asking for power, Flourish, but people may give it to you anyway.” 

I didn’t have an immediate answer. 

After the call ended, I sat with that thought for a moment before returning to the report.

I had spent months trying to convince independent packs that working with F-Tech wouldn’t cost them their freedom. Now, their public support was creating a different problem. 

Other Alphas might assume we were building a political alliance, even if every agreement we signed said otherwise. 

Damian arrived shortly before noon. He had come from Dartwood for a meeting with our security team and found me reviewing the statements again. 

my 

“Rhys told me about the announcements,” he said, taking the chair beside desk. “Congratulations.” 

“I’m not sure that’s the word I’d use.” 

His eyebrows rose. “Three packs have publicly chosen your company. That’s good news.” 

“It is. But the moment people start treating F-Tech as the center of the bloodline network, every decision we make becomes political.” 

“People were already watching you. This just makes it harder for them to pretend your work doesn’t matter.” 

I closed the report. “I never wanted to become another authority telling packs what they could or couldn’t do.” 

“Then don’t become one.” He reached for my hand. “Keep the agreements clear. Let them choose whether to work with you, and don’t make promises you can’t keep.” 

“It’s not that simple. Some Alphas will expect us to take sides when disputes arise. Others may believe that choosing F-Tech means supporting me personally.” 

“Then you deal with each situation when it comes. You can’t stop people from making assumptions, but you can decide how your company operates.” 

I squeezed his hand before letting go. He wasn’t dismissing the problem, and I appreciated that. Still, I knew the situation could become complicated much faster than either of us wanted. 

A notification appeared on my screen. Another pack had requested an urgent meeting about joining the communications network. 

Beneath it was a message from Rhys asking whether we should prepare a public statement clarifying F-Tech’s role. 

I forwarded the request to him with instructions to arrange the meeting, then opened a new document. 

The statement needed to make three things clear.

F-Tech would provide security and communications services, participating packs would retain control over their own information, and no agreement would grant the company authority over another pack’s leadership. 

I read the draft aloud to Damian. 

“Sounds clear,” he said. “But people will still have questions.” 

“Let them ask.” 

I sent the draft to Rhys for review. Then I checked the list of packs requesting demonstrations and saw that it had grown again. 

F-Tech had become important because packs trusted our work, not because I had asked them to follow me. 

I wasn’t willing to turn that trust into control, regardless of how much influence it gave the 

company. 

But I could no longer pretend our decisions affected only our clients. 

The next time I spoke, I made sure Damian understood exactly what concerned me. 

“We need to prepare for the possibility that someone will try to use F-Tech’s growing influence against the packs that trust us.” 

His expression changed. “Then we’d better find out who stands to lose the most if those packs become harder to control.” 

I looked back at the public statements, thinking of the hidden records and the people who had worked for years to keep the truth about Amara from reaching us. 

F-Tech had become a company other Alphas could no longer ignore. I needed to make sure that didn’t turn it into a target we weren’t prepared to defend.
