Alpha King Rising

Chapter 6

Stark POV

"I honestly never told grandma about what dad does back home." Rowan begins as we drive off.

"Enough, Rowan, I know. Our grandma is a very observant and intuitive woman. I should've known she'd figure it out." I told him as he nodded. Still. I won't tell her what he did to her mate, my grandfather.

"To think." Rowan wonders out loud, "That there would be a law about werewolves that have gone mad without a mate, and have their titles taken away."

"Well, father is still somewhat sane. From the meetings I go to with him that are required for him, he puts on a good show. There is a law that they can be stripped, but with proof." I tell my brother.

He sighs, "Yeah, and dad has the entire pack under his control. No one questions him, because they don't see it. I know you can't have a planted camera on you, and he'd find it. Goddess knows what would happen if he did." He shuddered at the thought.

"It's best to stick with the plan." I tell him. "Most who know, are alpha commanded to not say a thing."

"Yeah." He said as he sighed again.

I know my brother wants to help, I can feel it from him deeply. If it were him, I would feel powerless, defeated. I sighed, too. There's nothing we can do until Rowan takes over the pack.

We drive in silence the entire way after that, both lost in our thoughts. So, for now, I have to try my best to keep my head down and try not to step on my father's toes and do what he says. Minimize the punishments.

Sure enough, our fathers tall silhouette was standing outside our log cabin like 3 story packhouse. Beside him was Beta Dominic, a wide built man who was half a foot shorter than my father with shaved hair, tattooed arms, but kind blue eyes.

Rowan parked in front then he quickly got my wheelchair and brought it to me. I got in and wheeled alongside my brother to greet our father and beta.

"Sons, welcome back. I have some news I would like to share with both of you." The alpha announces as we approached. Some pack members pass by as they make their way to wherever. My father plasters a fake smile at us in greeting.

"Hi dad, beta." My brother greeted both, and I did the same, then Rowan pulled out the cookies grandma had sent, "Grandma sent these for you, dad." Rowan handed father the cookies.

Our father took the cookies and looked in the container, his eyes light up a little as a small smile played at the corner of his lips and for a moment, father almost looked like the same man I once called dad. Then, I blinked, and he cleared his throat and told Rowan, "Thanks. I am about to coffee, I will have these while we meet in my office now."

Without waiting, he turned and walked into the packhouse with Dom hot on his trail. Rowan quickly pulled me backward up the stairs, I grunted and gritted out, "Rowan, if he sees."

"Shh.. he won't." He whispered.

I glanced over my shoulder, and they were nowhere in sight at all, even when we went indoors. "We have to hurry to his office." Rowan mutters as he keeps pulling me backward and heads for the steps to go the two stories to fathers office. Father has the entire top floor for himself. I live on the second floor with Rowan, I have the left side and Rowan the right. Rowan and I also have a office in the center of our floor. Fathers office is also on the 2nd floor and on fhe main floor. We use the second floor office when it is just us. His office is across from Rowan's and mine. My sister's old room was near the stairs, father wanted her close to exits. No one is allowed in her room. No one is allowed on the alpha floor or our floor.

As we entered his office. Rowan stopped pushing me before he opened the door. I followed Rowan in and wheeled next to a coffee table that father had set up for me to always be placed when he had important visitors. It was a high coffee table that was made to accommodate my wheelchair. I can pull the table out to extend it for eating on or working on my work laptop. Yes, my father makes me do work for him. Rowan and I were trained together on pack paperwork, and other things involving our pack.

Rowan sits beside Dom in the loveseat. We were all facing father as he sat down. We waited for him to talk and tell us why we were all here, but first, a maid came in with some coffee, then she left quickly. My father then grabbed one of the cookies in the container, sniffed it, and then ate it with his coffee. He closed his eyes as he chewed, enjoying the homemade taste of his mothers cookies.

I glance at Dom, who arches a brow at Rowan, who hides his smile. Then, he moves his eyes to me, indicating something to Dom as Dom nodded once.

Finally, father looked at each of us, "I am being forced to take a Luna. If I do not, I will be stripped of my title."

I snapped my eyes to my father's eyes. He looked extremely annoyed. I quiciky looked back on the floor before he caught me staring.

"So, I had made an alliance today while you boys were visiting your grandma. The neighbors pack Blue Moons alpha has no heir, his wife is cannot conceive, he too was going to lose his pack but this alliance will help, he is giving his sister and her maids to me. We will be hosting a quick mating ceremony in the morning at the same time we are having a fair well party for Rowan." He sighed. "Rowan, I want you to get your brother cleaned up nicely tomorrow morning, I want you to stay close to your brother at all times. I want you both in sight up until everything is over. Once Rowan leaves." He paused, and I can feel his eyes on me, "Stark will go back to his room. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Alpha." We all said in unison.

"In the meantime, Stark, look at me." He growled.

I looked up at my father for the first time in a few days, I wasn't always allowed to look into his cold blue eyes, he takes it like a challenge. It's also the first time in a couple months since he has said my name, "You will speak with kindness when you are addressed tomorrow. Just because there will be a new Luna doesn't mean your punshiments will falter. One wrong f*****g move on your end, you will get it." Then he stood up and straightened his shoulders, "Got it?" He looked at me again.

"Yes, Alpha." I mumbled.

"Great, you know the routine, now be here in this office by 7 am." He said as he walked out before we could say anything.

Dominic placed his hand on my shoulder before following our father out. Rowan looked at me and whispered, "Come on, big brother, off to bed."

Typical Alpha Aldean, very vague about details about this alliance he made. I am sure, I will hear more about it later. I follow Rowan out and I wheeled myself straight to my room to retire for the night, so that I can sleep and be ready for whatever comes tomorrow.
