Chapter 001 Back To The Settlement

I still couldn't see clearly after being knocked down by Darell. That was quite a blow for speaking the truth, I mean I did call his mother a bitch but only because it was true. "Darell that punch was not necessary. You and I both know that I didn't say anything new, you need to learn how to manage your anger," I said to him sitting on the floor where I fell and nursing my temple.
"And you need to watch what you say about my family," he retorted in anger. Darrell hasn't been the same ever since his mother, who's the Luna of our pack was accused of murder; it is claimed she allegedly killed the Beta of our pack who was formerly the Gamma but rose in ranks through 'dubious' means. Before he maneuvered his way to that position, my father was Beta; but Darrell chose to keep me as his Beta and made sure everyone in our generation referred to me as such. It honestly felt weird, bearing the Beta title while my dad bore the Gamma title.
It was quite unheard of in the history of the Moonstone pack. A luna being involved actively in murder was not something that any pack member expected to witness in our pack, not in our lifetime anyway. The Luna's reason or reasons for killing the Beta was yet to be disclosed to the public, probably only the high families knew; even Darrell didn't know. His father always kept him in the dark about a lot of things, and this was one of them. I have always thought that was a risky way to bring up one's child, considering he would be taking over as Alpha in a few years from now.
"Look, Darrell, I'm sorry for speaking about your mother with disrespect, and I know you are going through a lot right now, but you can't keep reacting to everything violently. I'm not saying this because you punched me in the temple, although that shit hurt like hell, but you've been this way ever since your mother was thrown in jail. The other day, you were summoned for knocking the lights out of an omicron just because he looked at you funny. Come on man, you need to get a grip on your emotions; this is not healthy for you. And if I may suggest, I think you should confront your father to let you know why your mother did what she did. That is if she did do it. I think if you know why she did what she did, whether it be for genuine reasons or not, it might help you control your emotions and even get closure. Plus you need to start knowing things happening in this pack, and why they happen. Being in the dark and oblivious to many things is not good at all, I mean, how are you supposed to perform well as the Alpha of Moonstone pack when you eventually take over from your old man if you don't know shit most of the time?" I told him, feeling annoyed and confused about the whole situation at the same time.
"Wait wait wait…what did you say?" Darrell asked me and I had a big question mark on my head because I had just said a bunch of things and I couldn't pick out the one that made him ask that question. "What do you mean by 'closure', Christopher?" he finally asked when he realized I wasn't following. I was surprised he asked that because it meant he still had not realized how messed up the situation was.
His mother was accused of murder and it was going to end up in either of two ways if she was found guilty: life sentence or death by beheading. The fact that he hasn't come to this realization yet bothered me a lot because he was already behaving erratically when no one knows if the accusations are true or not. How would he be if the accusations turn out to be true, and his mother gets either the life sentence or the axe? I finally replied to him, "Darrell, you honestly know that there always has been bad blood between your mother and the late Beta; if you know nothing else, this much you know. If the accusations turn out to be true, she would get either the life sentence or the axe. You need to know for sure if she did kill him and why," I said to him, and watched reality dawn on him.
I was worried for him because I highly suspected that his mother was guilty of the crime she's been accused of; she didn't have a very stellar reputation. But she was the one parent he was close to and if she's found guilty, it will take a toll on him. He loved his mother dearly, despite her numerous shortcomings. He still had that worried look on his face and I pressed his shoulder to let him know that things might just work out in his favour and his mother might be innocent. He buried his face in his palms and shook his head. Good thing we were out of sight, it wasn't a good view of the future Alpha, but only he knew how he felt. I couldn't even possibly begin to imagine. I sat there with him quietly, and let him have his moment.
After a short while, he snapped out of it and sprang up. He looked me dead in the eyes and I was honestly terrified a bit. "I need to see her. I have to hear from her, to know if she is innocent in all this," he said and I relaxed a bit. I guess all the things I said had gotten to him.
"Okay, how do you want to do that? Because she's currently in holding and no one is ever allowed to visit people down there." I said to him wondering how he was planning to do what he wanted to do.
"I will have to speak to my father about it. I will try as hard as possible to convince him to let me speak with her. Even if he doesn't, I will find another way to see her. I have to see her to know for myself," Darrell said, with so much conviction and confidence in his voice. "I'm going to need you to come with me though, Christopher," he said to me and I looked at him in wonder.
"Why do you need me to come with you?" I asked him because I couldn't understand why he needed me or what I could possibly do for him. Plus, I've always found the Alpha intimidating. In fact, to be honest, I'm scared of the man and can't bear to be in the same room as him. But I couldn't say those things to Darrell.
"You will be my moral support," he replied. I couldn't say no to him if that was the reason he needs me to come with him. He needed all the support he could get right now and I wasn't going to turn my back on him because of my fear of Alpha Deckard Richmundson; I will be alright. My friend needed me and I was prepared and willing to be of assistance in any way I could. I looked up at him because he was already standing in a way to say we were going right away.
"Alright then, Darrell. I will come with you. I've got your back bro" I said to him and we made our way back to the settlement because we were in the woods.

Darrell All the things Christopher had said really got to me and I knew I had to make some things clear for myself. First, I needed to speak with my father because he was the only one I could go to for all the information I needed, and also ask his permission to see my mother. She was the only parent who cared about me. My father never really cared. He has always been a selfish person. A lot of times, I curse the goddess for sending me to such a family. But I guess, you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. I had a few friends, Christopher was the best of them. We practically grew up together. We got to my house and luckily, we found my father in the living area with Delta Bernard. They were discussing in low voices, like they didn't want the walls to hear what they were saying; which was why they were jumpy when they saw us. Actually, my father saw me first and tapped his Delta who then turned back to look at us. I was a bit surprised by their reactions but I paid
Broken Alpha Chapter 003 Covering All Grounds
Darrell We would have to get past the guards in order to see my mother, and Chris and I were not coming up with any brilliant ideas. All the things we have been suggesting were either too dangerous or just stupid. "You know you can just walk up to them and order them to take you to your mother, right?" Chris said. It sounded right but I knew better. "I don't have that kind of authority, Chris. Moreover, don't you think my father would have ordered them not to let anyone visit any detainees?" I pointed out. I knew my father would have put orders in place to keep my mother from making contact with people and that would be no surprise. But I was open to any ideas that were not the foolish ones we have been coming up with. We went to the prison yard together to try out our luck with hopes that word would not get to my father. "Darrell, you know this was my idea, right? So if it does not pan out, it's on you to come up with a better one" Christopher pointed out. "More like a suggest
Broken Alpha Chapter 004 Darrell's Call
Christopher Darrell and I have been friends ever since we were little kids and we have grown to become more like brothers. We have always had each other's backs in tough times and also whenever either or both of us got into trouble. Seeing him go through a lot of emotions because of his mother's situation touched me deeply, he needed emotional support at a time like this and I would be there for him. I couldn't help but wonder why his father, the Alpha, would not let him see his own mother. No matter the crime one has committed, their loved ones should be allowed to see them. Not allowing people see their loved one who have been put in prison seemed unfair because if that person is found guilty of the crime they were accused of, they get either the death penalty or the life sentence. And they are usually taken to a different confinement when they get the life sentence. We would not be here trying to break the law if the law was fair to begin with. Darrell needed to see his mothe
Broken Alpha Chapter 005 Meeting Lilith
Darrell I searched through my mother's bathroom cabinets but could not find any sedatives. All I found were aspirin and some antibiotics. I went to my father's bathroom to see if I would find something. I doubted I would find any but I had to explore all avenues. I looked through his cabinets but found nothing useful to me. I was disappointed, not because I was expecting my parents to be into drugs but because I would now have to reach out to Lilith, and I really did not want to. I brought out my phone and searched for her contact. I found it and dialed. She picked up on the second ring and spoke with a sultry voice which did not have its intended effect on me "Hi handsome. Missed me?" Paying no attention to her question, I replied "I need to see you immediately. Meet me at Nelly's restaurant". I have not eaten since morning and it was already 3:00 in the afternoon so I would use that opportunity to recharge my belly there. Before I could hang up, she replied "in a heartbeat". It

Darrell I walked out of the restaurant feeling satisfied. It was still 3:45 in the afternoon. I believed I gave Lilith enough time to get the pills. So I decided to meet up with Christopher to get the full details of his encounter with the server. I brought out my phone from my breast pocket and dialled his number. The call rang out. I dialled his number again and he picked up on the third ring. "What's going on, Chris? I told you to stay by the phone" was what I said when he picked up. "I'm sorry bro, I fell asleep," he replied. "So what's up? Any luck with the sedatives?" he asked. "Yeah, meet me at the armory in 2 minutes" I replied to him and hung up. I could have gone to his place to meet him but I did not want to be held up by his mother. The woman asks a lot of questions and it always gets on my nerves. The last time I went over to his place, that was the day after my mother was put in prison, Christopher's mother asked a bunch of questions that annoyed me to the point o

DarrellChristopher always had a way of making me feel better whenever I was feeling down. I appreciated his friendship a whole lot and I'm glad I met him in this lifetime. He has been nothing but supportive throughout the years I've known him. Just as he has promised to always have my back, I will always have his. I brought out my phone to call Lilith to find out how she was doing with the favour I asked of her as it was already 4:30 pm. As I was about to dial her number when my father linked me. "Yes, father." I answered him. "Come to the house now," he ordered and broke the link. What did he want from me now? I should be heading to Nelly's to meet up with Lilith for the sedatives but my father decided to see me now. I guess I will have to ask Christopher to represent me instead, I would not want to reschedule with Lilith. Whatever my father wanted from me would probably take a while so I had to make sure all grounds are covered and nothing is left hanging while I'm absent. I li
Broken Alpha Chapter 008 Why Won't You Let Me In?
DarrellI rushed out of Nelly's after taking the pills from Lilith. I had to find a place to crush them but I knew I couldn't go home lest my father sees me. I wasn't supposed to be around anyway, I didn't want him finding out I delegated the errand he sent me to Christopher. He would definitely flip out if he should find out; I've seen him angry a lot of times and it is not something to look forward to. He could break a wolf's spirit when he's angry. I headed to the armoury and found a quiet corner to crush the pills to dust. The time was already a quarter past six, so I headed to the prison building to wait for the time. As I was walking, I bumped into Lilith. She had a backpack, so I guessed she was going to work on somebody. "You got a gig?" I asked her, trying to make small talk even though I didn't really have the time. I just thought it would be awkward bumping into someone you know without saying something to them. "Yeah, I got a gig. I'm painting a couple of people for one
