Alphas Don’t Beg

Chapter 8 - White Rock

Alexandria POV

“The point is, what you are is not a secret anymore, the abilities Derek gained by marking you is not a secret either, so the power that runs through a female pure hunter's blood is a well known and tested fact that every supernatural species is interested in and want” Mason says, and all the memories of my suffering come crashing into my head.

She can’t have my life.

I will not let her go through what I went through.

This is not happening.

“She is a f*****g werewolf”.

“you can say that as loud as you want, that won’t make them believe it, Alexandria” Mason says, almost gloating.

“And what makes you think you are more capable of protecting her than a whole nation of werewolves?” Derek retorts and I can feel his anger and worry.

“That whole nation of yours doesn’t seem to like her that much to lay their lives out for her and hunters are the only ones who can’t be affected by the other species' powers… so it falls under our job description to protect her” Mason explains but I don’t buy it.

“Oh how noble of you, Dad would be proud” I mock.

He loved Adam as a father.

“I haven’t forgotten that she is Adam’s granddaughter and being yours is not her fault” he says in disgust.

“ENOUGH” Derek roars.

“We’ve tolerated your actions long enough for the sake of your brother, but don’t mistake it as weakness” Derek continues.

“The sake of my brother? How hilarious?” He mocks and we don’t respond to that.

“I’m the one who tolerated you and your lies, but now… now, I have got the whole hunter community behind me to get what I want, that it’s confirmed that your daughter is a pure hunter and that there are people who might be after her… we are protective like that… this meeting is just a political curtsy to what’s already coming”, how is it confirmed? he is hiding something.

“Okay, let’s cut the bullshit, what do you really want Mason?” I ask.

“Unlike you, I haven’t lied, your daughter’s nature is a known thing now… and it’s not a bad thing that it will help me get what I want too”, here it is.

“Which is what?” Derek asks, running out of patience.

“Let’s put it this way, it’s either your kid or Max’s kid, your choice … I might not know where Max’s kid is but I sure as hell know where yours are”, that son of a b***h.

“You will not be taking our daughter anywhere and if it’s war you want, it’s war you’ll get” Derek growls.

“It will be our pleasure… I will get my niece back one way or another and your girl will just be a bounce. Mark my words” and with that he leaves.

“Maybe she should go with Mason” I finally speak a word since Mason left and we went back to our bedroom.

“What the f**k are you talking about Alexandria?” Derek asks, shocked and looking at me like I’m losing my mind…maybe because I am.

“I know what it's like to be some rare creature that everyone wants a piece of you is like and he is right Derek, werewolves don’t like her as it is, they won’t protect her and there are some that is even after her”, doesn’t he see the whole picture?

“And hunters will? Did you not hear him saying he wants her as a leverage? Did you forget his promise to kill you… now you want to give him our daughter?” he says in disbelief.

“If he starts a war, he won’t be the only one after her or us… it will be a war that we can’t win. It’s the safest place for her and he won’t hurt her, I know him, he is not a bad guy”.

“You knew him over 20 years ago, before his only family member died and he blamed it on us”.

“You know he is not lying”, we know that there are those who don’t want her as queen, and they rather use her.

“And you know that we are capable of protecting her, she is capable of protecting herself... and werewolves would die for her as they would die for us... yes, there are some that don’t think she should be the queen, but that will all change when her wol-” I cut him off.

“We can’t sit around waiting for her wolf to show up, Derek, we can’t just wish for the best… the best doesn’t always happen to me… but the worse does… and I’m not losing her too” I say breaking down in tears.

“We are not going to lose her. Right now she is tucked away at white rock where no one knows where she is, with enough warriors to protect her if needed… and you know she can very well handle herself, and I believe that’s enough for now, and most defiantly better than handing her over to the enemy… plus, what on earth makes you think she’d agree to that”, yes, she won’t, she will most likely throw a fit and stab someone.

“You are right, she is a grown ass woman now with a stubborn alpha head that she got from you”.

“Yeah, right… she is just as crazy as her mother”, excuse him?

“Who the hell are you calling crazy?”.

“You, love, I’m calling you crazy and I love it” he says, taking me in his arms.

“You really think she will be okay?” I ask feeling the warmth of his embrace.

“I know she will, love… you said it… she got two prophecies about her and three very powerful hunters had to die to balance her power… she will be just fine”.

I really hope so.

I also can’t shake what Mason said… he said Niece,so, it's a girl?

Maxima POV

I’m not fine, not at all.

How far is this damn pack?

It’s been like 10 hours.

“We are here” Beta f*****g Gabriel announces as we take a turn into the thick tree line and if you don’t know where you are going, you will most defiantly miss the small pass between the trees that barely fits our vehicles.

the narrow road becomes wider and wider as we go along.

I see beautiful houses tucked between the trees, and the woods start to turn into a peaceful-looking small town.

We finally arrive at the pack house and I will be honest… it’s a very luxurious place, like Alex said.

The pack house is a three stories high brickhouse, and it looks big… not as ours, of course, but still big.

Is that a swing hanging from one of the trees in the front yard? I love swings… I know… sometimes my inner child demands entertainment too.

My people start taking our bags out of the car while I admire my surroundings.

They have a very rich tree line you can hardly see past it.

“Do you need help with that?” Gabriel asks. What is he talking about?

“Help with what?”.

“Your luggage… oh, I forgot, princesses don’t do those low-ranking things” Is he mad at me? Oh well, what’s new?

“And betas do?” I ask his luggage free ass, because his people are doing the same.

“Well… um” but before he finishes, he is interrupted by a flying body towards him, basically jumping on him.

“Gaby, I’ve missed you” she says in between the kisses she is showering his face with.

Who the f**k is she?!

“MATE” Zander growls.

Oh, s**t!
