Fell for an Alpha

Chapter 4

Archie's POV

"I think it's high time we stopped Kyle. He's so full of himself and thinks himself a king. Yes, I

know he's an Alpha, the leader of the pack, he's the strongest, the fastest, and the richest

but that doesn't make him superior to any of us.

"I am Archie Jacob, I'm a Beta, he should respect and regard me. Are you even listening to

me"?

I asked Douglas, my closest ally, a member of the Timber Clan. He was lying on my couch,

while I paced my living room from one end to the other.

"Yes, Archie, I understand you, but don't you think you should calm down a bit? Kyle is the

leader of our pack and clan as a whole, he's strong and has a lot of connections in the

government". Douglas said calmly.

"And so, do I, you think he's the only one with the connections? Do you think he's the

strongest? He's only the strongest because we allowed it to be so.

"If we all stood together against him, we could bring him down. He has been our leader for

far too long. His father led our fathers and now he's leading us, one day he'll have a son, and

that son will lead our sons, so when does it end, heh, when?

"This tyranny must stop! We are not losers. Douglas, say you are with me and I'll bring

others to our side, and in no time, we will have the power, all to ourselves. Just say you are

with me". I said.

"Alright, let's say I'm with you, so what's the plan? How do you intend to achieve this goal"?

Douglas asked.

"WE, it's 'how do WE intend to achieve this goal', because we are doing this together, we will

start from the Omegas and Gammas, they will help us spread the rumor to the entire clan". I

impelled him.

"And what is the rumor, Archie"? Douglas inquired.

"Kyle is the bastard son who killed Ronald Quincy, his father, and made himself Alpha". I

said with a grin.

"That rumor would be dead on arrival, the wolves love Kyle, and they were there when

Quincy made him the next in line.

“We knew Allen Quincy died a natural death, and we all witnessed Kyle's ascension. We saw

him fully transform into an Alpha". Douglas countered.

"But he has no Luna". I retorted.

"Umm, well, let's not forget that he was supposed to be mated to Lupe, but her father Boris

went rogue and left the clan with his entire pack". Douglas interjected."That was twenty years ago, he is supposed to have chosen a new mate by now, instead he

sleeps with everything in a skirt.

"He is a playboy who has women in every city. Does a true king act in such a manner? Who

wants a playboy for a king"? I tried to convince Douglas.

"That's true, you're right Archie, he loves women. So do we add that to the rumor or do we

just tell the wolves he killed his father to become the leader of the clan?" Douglas asked.

"We will add that to the rumor, but underlining the main point that he lacks a Luna, what king

has no queen?"

"That's facts brother, He's thirty years old and has not chosen a Luna. It's beginning to look

like he's not taking his position seriously. This sounds like a plan, Archie".

Douglas said finally convinced of my plans.

Ever since I was a boy, Kyle had been seen as my Alpha. His father Allen Quincy was my

father's friend; his father was an Alpha, and my father his Beta.

Despite being friends, Allen Quincy treated my father like a servant, sending him on errands

and asking him to wait on him like a maid.

Although my father became rich through the help of Allen Quincy, that was not enough. My

father needed the power, he was the strongest of Allen Quincy's Beasts as they were called.

They went on secret missions for the government like I was now doing with Kyle, and

conquered every enemy they faced.

Then my father wanted more than just being an Alpha's Beta. He wanted to become an

Alpha himself.

One day, when I was ten years old, he asked me to come sit with him in the garden and we

had a conversation.

"Archie my boy, do you know the name of the first man who landed on the moon"?

"Neil Armstrong". I responded.

"Good job my boy, you are correct. Neil Armstrong was the first man to ever land on the

moon". He took a sip from his cup of tea, cleared his throat, and continued with the

questions.

"But, do you know the name of the second man who landed on the moon"?

That question was unexpected, I have only heard about the first man on the moon, but

nothing about the second man.

"No, Father, I don't know who the second man was"? I responded confused."The second man to land on the moon is Buzz Aldrin, he landed nineteen minutes after

Armstrong". My father said.

"Wow, so there was a second person with Armstrong and no one talks about him. I wonder

why?" I said wide-eyed, fascinated with this new fun fact I just learned.

"Yes, there was someone else with Armstrong, and the reason no one speaks about Aldrin is

simple, he came second.

"No one recognizes the person who comes second, only the first. Remember this as you

gradually turn into a man, don't settle for second place". He had admonished me.

Two weeks after this talk with my father, we got the news that my father got killed in a duel

with Allen Quincy, Kyle's father, and he was replaced by another wolf as Allen Quincy's Beta.

News got out that my father challenged Quincy to a One-Man Standing duel, he was

accused of treason.

After my father died, Boris, my father's best friend and ally turned rogue. He left The Timber

Clan with his pack and ten other members of the Timber Clan, then formed Claws; the

number one terrorist group in Crescent Bay City, notorious for terrorizing the city, carrying

out attacks on the government, robbing banks, and orchestrating kidnaps of the wealthy for

ransoms.

They were even contracted as mercenaries by the enemies of Crescent Bay City to fight

against the city.

They were the ones the mayor asked The Beasts to go fight. I suddenly didn't want to join

the mission anymore. So, I planned to make up an excuse to avoid going, and I called Saul.

"Hello, Saul". I greeted.

"Hello Mr. Jacob, would you like to speak with Mr. Quincy?" Saul inquired.

"No, just give him a message for me, tell him I got poisoned by Wolfbane, I think someone

spiked my drink with it. I am getting an antidote so, I won't be going with the team for the

mission. Thank you".

I spoke with a false sickly voice, then I dropped the call before Saul asked any further

questions.

I was sure Kyle would call me once he heard that his Beta couldn't make the mission. I was

indispensable. So, I waited for my phone to ring.

I waited for a couple of hours but no call came through
