Him
Gabriel sat brooding. He never had much interest in running the family business nor being told what to to do at every turn. Now here it was his father telling him that he was to be married. “ How can you sit so coldly after telling me this?” He asked his father. “I have a mate somewhere and also have no interest in marrying anyone!” He yelled. “Gabriel, I did not ask you if you wanted to do so, I am telling you this is to be done for an alliance with the Moonstone pack!” His father was always distant and cruel and he never seemed to come back after his mothers death. So this really came to no surprise to him that he stood in front of him making the demands he was currently. He knew he had no choice. “ She is from a good strong pack and you need an heir!” “ Your are 28 years old the time for playing is over!” “ In a weeks time you will be married and I expect the preparations for your heir to be started immediately as such!” “Or do I need to pay a visit to Dom?” You won’t touch a f*****g hair on his head!” Gabriel boomed. “Well that my son will all depend on how closely you follow directions.” He loved Dom like a little brother. They took him in when his aunt passed away. His own father was going to just leave him to fend for himself at five years old. His own nephew, because he saw him as a threat. His father was sick for power, that never escaped him. Now he was threatening them again and there wasn’t much choice but to follow his orders. As each year past his father became more obsessed with him and having an heir. After the official Alpha ceremony he hoped to make changes in the pack, however his father and his goons still had a hold on many pack members. It was easy for him to control Gabriel still as he threatened Dom with every turn. Now he was asking him to create an heir and bring another woman into it. Destroying his chance at finding his true mate in turn. I will never love her father!” “She will not be happy here.” “I care about neither son, just produce an heir.” With that he turned to leave, however before he did he looked back at Gabriel. “Don’t make the mistake of underestimating me son, for Doms sake.”
Gerald walked in seeing how angry Gabriel was his Alpha aurora was unmistakable. “It can’t be that bad son.” “I know you have no interest in marrying, but Mrs Evelyn from the moonstone pack is reported to be very beautiful.” I don’t care how beautiful she is Gerald I don’t want her!”I will never love her and will only see her as someone my power obsessed father pushed off on me to further his agenda.” Gerald sighed. He had hoped Gabriels father would change, but the only changing that man did was for the worst. He stayed serving him as his Gamma because of Gabriel. He only prayed Gabriel would never be as cruel as his father. He loved Gabriel like a son but feared his father’s ugly claws have already tarnished him. He did his best to teach the young master, but feared the worst. “Gabriel” he said. “That’s enough Gerald, you may take your leave.” “Yes Alpha.” He turned to walk out but not before sparing Gabriel another glance and shook his head.
Lord knows Gabriel loved that man like a father but he is crossing the line. If he is to be miserable than so will everyone else. How dare they think they can control him. He was the Alpha not the other way around. He had to find a way to get out of his father’s clutches and free Dom and his pack from his father’s control. Before it was to late. If some spoiled entitled little princess thought she would stop him than she was in for a surprise. He was done being told what to do, he was going to show everyone what being an Alpha meant. Starting with that entitled brat they were sending him. At least when the royal family was alive his father pretended to stay in line. Now everything has changed for the worst. His father is obsessed with Thorn enterprises expanding their pack to the previous Royal family lands. Despite his objections to everything. He has no choice in the matter. Now his father thinks he will produce an heir so that he can tarnish his kid and turn him into a power ploy he has another thing coming.
He sat a few days later trying to make sense of the paperwork in front of him. So many records where missing. He knew his father had wanted to expand their land for years but the King had always denied his father access to more land. His father was angry because the land was never to be used and was to be given to the Princess when she came of age. Yet the records for all transactions between the packs had vital Information missing. Where was the deed to the land? He had wanted to consecrate the land as a Royal burial in honor of the royal family, however his dad was against it. Stating they were dead it wouldn’t matter to them either way. He definitely had some questions he needed answered and knew he wouldn’t be getting them from his father. He immediately sent for Gerald. “ You requested my presence Alpha?” “Gerald, you were very close to the Royal family, do you know what happened to all the paperwork and transcripts of dealings between our pacts?“ They are missing sir?” “They are!” Gerald had a bad feeling. “Why do you need them?” He didn’t want to deliver the news to Gerald this way but saw no better way than to be forthcoming. “ My father wants us to expand to the previous Royal lands of Ambrosia. “You can’t do that sir it’s a Royal graveyard!” “That will bring dishonor on our pack, not to mention the curse!” “ Don’t you think I know that Gerald, I have tried reasoning with him but its futile.” “He cares only for wealth, honor plays no part in his plans.” “Gerald I need you to tell me who was in charge of the record keeping, before the Royal families death. Gerald swallowed, the knot stuck in his throat. The events of that day still haunting him everytime he closed his eyes. “ Your father sir.”
