Alpha James’s POVThe classical music played loudly, the rising and falling of the volume creating a feeling of importance and seriousness. I stood before the mirror, my gaze fixed on the pristine white Alpha robe that adorned my body, a maid fussing over the final adjustments."There, all ready to go, Alpha," she giggled, her cheeks flushed as she stepped back to admire her handiwork.I nodded my thanks, my mind already turning to the task at hand. The coronation had begun, and the pack members were waiting for me downstairs. This was the moment I had been preparing for, the result of years of hard work and dedication.As the maid exited the room, Nicholas entered, wheeling my grandfather in a wheelchair. My grandfather, dressed in an expensive tuxedo, looked frail and ill, the effects of his cancer were plainly visible.I rushed to his side, dropping to my knees before him. "Nicholas, why are you the one bringing my grandfather?" I demanded, my brow furrowing.The beta avoided my ga
Alpha James’s POVI rushed towards the entrance of the packhouse, my warriors bordering me as we looked out at the chaos happening in the courtyard. Several of my pack warriors lay wounded on the ground, groaning in pain, while the remaining guards waved their weapons, attempting to fend off an unseen attacker.I ran my fingers through my hair, my mind racing to determine the identity of this unexpected intruder. Before I could formulate a plan, Nicholas approached, pressing an AK-47 into my hands."I think you will like this approach, Alpha," he said, his expression grim.I accepted the weapon, nodding my approval. "Excellent thinking, Nick. We will meet force with force, how dare they attack my pack on the day of my coronation?"As I adjusted the magazine, my gaze drifted to the trembling pack members behind us, some shaking like leaves. With a curt gesture, I signaled two of my warriors to take the lead, and I followed closely, intent on confronting this new threat head-on."Please
Alpha James’s POVAs I paced relentlessly outside the clinic room, Davin's voice echoed relentlessly in my mind."This doesn't mean your lives are bound together," he growled. "Carol is not our mate. You had no romantic relationship with her in the past. She got pregnant after drugging and seducing you."I gritted my teeth, fighting with the instinct to simply kick Carol out of my pack. "I can't just abandon my own flesh and blood," I muttered, the words falling from my lips like a lead. "I wasn't raised that way."The sound of a gentle tap on my shoulder drew my attention, and I turned to find Michael standing before me, a bottle of refreshing water clutched in his grip."Calm down, brother," he said, pressing the bottle into my palm. "You know our doctor is the best in the whole world, he will save her life."I accepted the water, taking a sip as I met Michael's gaze. "You wouldn't understand what I'm going through," I murmured, the weight of my words heavy on my tongue.Michael shr
Alpha James’s POVThe pungent smell of blood assaulted my senses as I stepped into the clinic room. My gaze was immediately drawn to the lifeless body of Carol lying on the bed. The pack doctor hovered over her, sweat beading on his brow as the machines surrounding them beeped frantically.Clearing my throat, I caught the doctor's attention, and he hurried to my side, his expression taut with concern."Alpha," he breathed, his voice trembling with a barely concealed panic. "I was told you wanted to see me. What is wrong? Is Carol going to be alright? She says she is with a child." I bombarded him with questions. "What's the situation?"The doctor nodded, his hand shaking as he reached up to wipe the beads of sweat from his brow. "I'm doing my best to save her and the baby, but it's a delicate situation. If one of them doesn't make it, the other will likely follow." He replied, his tone desperate. "She has lost a lot of blood, she needs blood as soon as possible."My jaw tightened. "W
Alpha James’s POVEmily's brow furrowed, and she fixed me with a defiant glare. "I don't share the same blood type with Carol or whatever you just called her," she stated firmly."How dare you lie to me!" I roared, my grip tightening on her hand. I felt my claws digging through the towel, piercing the delicate skin of her buttocks, and her wince of pain did little to calm my raging emotions."I can't give my blood to her," she insisted, her voice wavering. "How can you ask me to do that when I'm supposed to be your... your mate? After hearing that she is your girlfriend. What about the kiss we just had a few hours ago? Did that mean nothing to you?" Her gaze weakened, and a hint of vulnerability crept into her face.I gritted my teeth, the realization dawning on me. "Is that what you think this is?" I sneered. "That little kiss in my office? You call that a kiss?" I leaned in, my face mere inches from hers. "If I wanted to kiss you, I would do it properly, not like some bloodless fool
Alpha Michael’s POVThe sound of frantic, panicked voices assaulted my ears the moment I strode into the clinic room, my gaze immediately landing on the sight of Emily, her wrists and ankles bound to the bed like those of a helpless prisoner."Shut up, all of you!" I roared, silencing the noise. Pointing an accusatory finger at the doctor, I demanded, "Why is Emily bound to the bed? What is the meaning of this?"The doctor cowered under my glare, his voice trembling. "T-the sick woman on the bed needs blood, and Emily's is a match. We were just—"I cut him off, my anger boiling over and the rage coursing through my veins like molten. "Is this how you treat someone who has what another needs?" I snarled, the venom in my tone making the man cower. "Who gave you permission to do something so... disgusting?"Without a moment's hesitation, I ordered the doctor to free Emily from her bonds. The man was hurrying to obey, his legs shaking as he approached the bed where my brother's mate lay,
Alpha Michael’s POVI marched into the strip club with Robert by my side, but the sight that unfolded before us had me freezing in my tracks. The once-lively club had been turned upside down, a perverted mockery of its former self.At the center of the chaos sat a man I recognized all too well – Marcus, the leader of the rogue wolves. He relaxed in a high-backed chair with a group of half-naked women surrounding him. A blonde omega with large breasts sat in his lap, his hand on one of her nipples, toying with it like he was playing a game.I couldn't help but stare, a feeling of disgust overwhelmed me. I'd thought the rogue pack had disbanded since I'd last seen them, but it was clear they were thriving and still under Marcus's control. In his hand, he nonchalantly tossed darts at a man who was suspended from the wall, the poor soul's agonized screams echoing through the room.My eyes widened in recognition, and a wave of fear crashed over me. I had known Marcus well he was the one I
Alpha Michael’s POV"Don't be so sure, little pup," Marcus sneered, the twisted curl of his lips sending a shiver down my spine. "I have taken down bigger and better wolves than the two of you."I charged at Marcus, but he easily sidestepped my attack, his massive fist connecting with my gut in a punishing blow that left me gasping for breath. I stumbled backwards, clutching at the aching, throbbing pain burning through my stomach, only to have Marcus close the distance between us, his fist slamming into my face with a sickening crunch.Blood spurted from my nose, the metallic tang assaulting my senses as I swung my hands wildly, desperately trying to hit him back, but Marcus effortlessly avoided my clumsy, furious attempts."Michael, are you okay?" Robert's voice cut through the haze of pain, and I glimpsed him rushing to my side, his right arm hanging lifelessly, a trace of blood crimson oozing through his hand."I'm fine," I managed, my words devolving into a helpless gurgle. "We h
