Alpha Alec's Redemption

“Now, if you’re done wasting my time, I’m going home,” I told him, standing up.

“Alec wait”

I stopped and glared at him. My lips pulled back, exposing my fangs. I didn’t want to admit it, but my friends were right. I was always dancing on the edge of losing control. I f**g hated that.

“What now?”

“I’ve been thinking about your situation, and I think you should make an alliance with the Hope Pack,” he said, fidgeting a bit.

He should. He knows I don’t like asking for help and I don’t unless I really have to. I’m usually able to handle things on my own. On most occasions, other packs are usually the ones seeking help from me.

“And why the **k would I do that?” I bellowed, my anger rushing to the surface.

Like I said, I trusted Hunter with my life. That was the only f**g reason why I told him what the hell was going on in my pack. It was the only reason I asked for his help. I knew he wouldn’t betray me. With the other packs, it wouldn’t be the same. The moment they got to know we were weak, they would pounce on us like a pack of rabid rogues.

It has literally taken everything in me and my officials to keep appearances up. Making it seem like we were still the same strong pack we’ve always been.

“Think about it Alec, Hope is a very strong and huge pack. It will be an advantage to have them as an ally. If this situation continues and you don’t get a solution soon, you won’t be able to hide it for long. Soon, other packs, both allies and enemies, will sense the weakness. Having a pack such as Hope backing you up will make sure that none of the others dare cross you.”

I just stared at him. Hope pack is a pack that cropped up around two and a half years ago. Personally, I think Hope is a f**g st**d name to name a pack. Couldn’t the leader find a great name?

No one knows how or when, but all of a f***g sudden it was there. Rumors of how savage, fierce, and fearless they were have been circulating.

No one knows an estimate of how many members they have (but there are rumors that it might be bigger than my pack) or who the top officials are. Even during meetings, the alpha sends representatives. That has caused others to be more curious about them.

“Please consider it,” Hunter all but pleads. “Think of the army that will be backing you up. things don’t go your way.”

The army he’s talking about is the different species in the pack. Usually we stick to our own species, so having a pack that accepts all three species is unheard of.

“Please.” Hunter’s voice pulls me back to the present. “Always have a plan B; that’s what my father taught me. If things fall apart, my pack alone won’t be able to help you. We don’t have that many members.”

Hunter’s pack has a few hundred wolves, while mine has thousands. I get what he’s saying. If other packs decided to take us down, his help won’t be enough.

Instead of answering, I just nodded, then walked out of the VIP section and out of the hotel’s restaurant.

The valet had just brought my car when my phone rang. My anger rises when I see Micah’s name flashing.

“When I get back, you and I will have some alone time in the training arena,” I said, not even greeting him.

I hated being controlled, and I hate it when others try to force their f**g decisions on me, assuming they know what’s best for me.

“Alec, did Lola have a crescent moon mark behind her left ear?” he asked urgently, ignoring my threat completely.

I frown. It’s only after he said those words that I realized that something was wrong. Really wrong.

“Not that I remember, why?”

Theard as air left his lung, like he’d been punched in the gut. Something was fucking wrong and he wasn’t talking.

“Why are you asking me this, Micah?”

His next words left me completely floored.

“Because one of the elders found something in the old texts… Apparently your true mate is supposed to have a crescent mark behind her ear.”
