The Forbidden Alpha

No where to hide

He threw me off so badly I didn’t realize he’d already made it half way up the staircase. I leaped as far as I could and landed right in front of him. He was not about to take away the only person I cared about in this world, the only person whose had my back and we just made a connection like we never did before and I most certainly wasn’t going to allow him to spoil the moment, even though I was angry that he was so close to the door, it already happened. I don’t know where it came from but I let out a roar that even Arion looked shaken by it and I stood in front the door ready to tear him apart if he even thought about turning that knob.

He knew he couldn’t fight me one on one because I was always bigger, faster and stronger than he was, the only thing he had on me was his smarts. He bowed out very angrily, looked back at me and without words, left just as upset as he came.

SERANI’S POV

That roar shook the very foundation of the house and the she-wolf in me wanted to rush to his defense but I knew he had it under control. Arion would never dare go up against Ren wolf to wolf without the pack, he tried already and almost died. The silence that came after brought confusion, I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or distraught knowing that Arion even had an idea of where I was. I wasn’t safe no matter where I sought refuge and if I was going to show my father that I can lead this pack and deserved to be Alpha I would need to stop running and face Arion at some point and Renaldi was going to teach me how to face him.

He opened the door and I knew I was safe, he embraced me and I couldn’t help but release in his arms, the tears rolled down my face like a waterfall, it was ok for me to be a female, for me to be vulnerable, for me to unwind and be soft. He was my safe place, my refuge. I gathered myself and slowly regained my courage, this was not about to throw me off of my mission.

I threw on my leather jacket and hopped into my black Mustang, his hand braced the top of the door and his muscles flexed, my mind went everywhere and no where at that moment.

Are you sure you don’t want me to follow you? Make sure you’re safe? His deep brown eyes covered by ruffled brown hair made that moment freeze for me and I just smiled and said “I’ll be ok” he kissed me on my forehead and I closed my eyes as if to absorb all the love that just escaped from his lips.

As my engine turned over my mind flashed on Arion’s voice bellowing from the corridor and it irked me that he had the gall to come to Ren’s home as though he had any type of say so there. How dare he? If I were Alpha, I would have him torn to shreds, he didn’t know his place, his rank.

Renaldi would be next in line for Alpha of his pack, he is what we call a pure breed while, Arion was raised and trained by my Father. Arion’s dad was the Beta of our pack, when an attack was made by the Quarter moon pack against my father and he died protecting my sisters and I, Arion took over as Beta and my father trained him like a son. My father never had a son as he was only ever able to acquire 5 girls, Suraiya, Sur’hai, Sumaira, Saadia and of course me, Serani being the oldest. My mother took blame every chance she got as my father reminded her that it was my fault, he was never successful at having a male heir.

As the oldest, as a little girl I got to follow my father everywhere and every opportunity I got to learn at his feet I took advantage of it. My father was the most feared Alpha, as he adorned a no nonsense mentality and worked hard to be the strongest and most revered. My father challenged my wolf, my human. He taught me the art of combat in both wolf and human form. He taught me control of both minds, mine and my wolf. So, I’ve always wondered, if not for becoming Alpha, why waste time to show me all that he has learned in battle? As my engine roared so did I, I was angry and I had to figure out a way to channel that anger otherwise everything I’m doing will be for nothing if I don’t go about this strategically and not let my emotions get the better of me.

ALPHA KIRK’S POV

Where is my little girl? Why can’t I hear from her? This is unlike her; I demand to know of her whereabouts right now! I shouted at the room. My baby girl was missing and I couldn’t help but be worried. All I could think about was the last conversation we had and how it ended in a heated exchange. She didn’t know how badly I wanted her to become Alpha of this pack, but she is not ready or prepared to fight 500 years’ worth of tradition. Every Alpha will come up against this pack and challenge her leadership, the pack will fight to the death for her and that is what I’m most afraid of, when it’s finished, she will have no pack to be the Alpha of. She is strong minded just like me, her wolf is a worthy opponent to anyone who dares challenge her strength but how can a father sacrifice his princess like that? I am not prepared to lose her.

I see Arion coming back to the estate through my office window but he is alone. I thought I told him don’t come back without her. He has been away for two weeks and still returns empty handed. He is my Beta but I promise that I will devour him alive if he tells me anything is wrong with her, he was supposed to make sure of her safety and return her to me. My wolf calmed me down because he knew that she was ok, he didn’t feel a loss and he wasn’t hurting in that way.

Arion strode into my office in anger, I sat in my chair with my fingers laced directly in front my face waiting to hear what bullshit story he was about to feed me.

Alpha, she refused to come home.

She what? I didn’t hear you clearly, it sounded as though you gave her a choice.

Well, not quite as I didn’t get an opportunity to even see her. Arion bowed his head as though he were ashamed to tell me what transpired.

You better start talking, speak slowly and ensure that I completely understand before I make my Gamma, my new Beta and make you a memory. My roar shook the office.

Well, I followed her scent to an apartment in New York. She blocked her mind link so I couldn’t communicate with her but her scent was so strong, it was almost as if her temperature had intensified 100 times over. When I got to the door Renaldi answered and…

What the f**k is Renaldi doing with my daughter? My eyes were turning black at this point and it was taking everything in me not to turn and rip his head off. My wolf was screaming to be released.

I made it all the way to the bedroom door and he stopped me.
