Hades, alpha of the Silver Pack, couldn't believe his eyes. Two of the sons of his greatest enemy were kneeling before him, imploring him to overthrow none other than their father. That was a joke in very bad taste. He was not a closed person of character but he would like to give some good corrections to those two puppies who dared to make fun of him. Or maybe that was simply his father's strategy to end his power.
He was known for his kind nature with puppies but not with those who tried to manipulate him. But for the moment, he would play along. Nobody knows how it could go.
-And what is the purpose of coming to ask me for something like that? - sitting on the throne in the great room, he commanded respect like the tycoon he was. The others present were uncomfortable about the present situation but without his order they would not do anything.
The two young men lowered their gaze avoiding his, a symbol of total submission, although the hands of the one who seemed to be the oldest closed on his knees showing that he did not agree with that position. Being alpha children, that attitude was memorable and Hades admired that he hadn't already rebelled. Perhaps his request was not so far-fetched.
-Not long ago- he started to say, tensing his shoulders -We discovered our father's actions and we will no longer tolerate that, not when our mother is the one in danger-
There was an awkward silence and Hades leaned his elbows on his thighs, interested.
-Go on-
The boy raised his head but lowered it as soon as he realized that the alpha was questioning him with every pore of his body.
-We have discovered that our mother is alive and is imprisoned in one of the underground dungeons. Our father has held her captive for a long time and has taken her place as the total alpha of the pack, using her body only to procreate-
-And do you think I'm going to believe something so crazy?- the two boys now looked at him with their wild eyes, as if hope escaped from them. Hades ignored him, if they lied, sooner or later the truth would come out.
-It is well known that his mother fell ill after the first heir, and that after that she was confined until she died. That story that they are all brothers of the same mother is silly. Not after the multiple love affairs of the alpha-
-But we are not lying- the minor screamed in despair, receiving an arched eyebrow from the alpha.
-Really? Give me proof and maybe I'll think about your offer- if he wasn't mistaken, his mother was the only pure-blood omega in the pack and leagues around, this was serious.
The boys looked at each other uncomfortably, asking them for proof when they didn't have it, it was cruel. The older one bit his lower lip until it bled. He knew it had been a crazy idea to ask his father's greatest enemy for help, but no one else could face him.
Hades possessed a pack just as large and powerful as theirs. Besides, their lands adjoined, going to find another alpha would have taken too long, and time was something they didn't have. Alan did what he would never have done in another situation. He lowered his head almost to the ground and pleaded.
-You are our only hope. Please reconsider-
His brother next to him copied his position, repeating the same words.
The alpha's silver eyes stared at the scene uncertainly. He smelled the fear of leaving the puppies, but not a fear of lying, but of the one that you know you can lose everything.-Guards- he called- Take them away-
The two young men raised their heads with expressions of mixed terror and disappointment.-Alpha- Alan tried again.
-Don't reply to me boy, wait like a good puppy, I can't take this decision so lightly-
He could see how the boy's eyes sparkled, a hint of hope, although he did not promise anything.

Siran closed the door behind him and sat down after his alpha did behind his precious carved mahogany bureau.
-My faithful advisor, what do you think about what happened-
The wolf, barely 300 years old, but who looked no more than a 25-year-old human, frowned as he always did every time he drew a conclusion.
-I think it's a good opportunity for you to get hold of the Gray Pack, alpha-
-Always so wise, my friend-

Thank you-AHHHHHHHH- a cry echoed throughout the mansion, making the hair of all the wolves inside stand on end. Nebraska had done everything possible to hold back the screams in her mouth, but the latter was impossible, causing her to lose all her strength and fall on the bed with her body bathed in sweat. Panting heavily as a cry reached her ears. Sara ran over and wiped a dry cloth over her forehead and neck in an attempt to cool him down. The omega had had five deliveries before and one miscarriage but none as difficult as this one.The pregnancy hadn't had a bad time.The months had passed quietly as she watched her belly grow, she heard her husband fight because she wanted to do things and he would not let her and her children fought with their father to make a schedule to share with their mother, claiming that he hoarded it for him alone, which was not true. The mansion had literally become a battlefield and there were moments when to have a quiet tim
Hades felt her knees go unsteady and his body trembled violently as his palm was on Nebraska's belly.Invisible threads of power twined between his fingers causing them to sting.His face went so pale Nebraska thought he was going to faint.She put her arms around him and held him quickly.Seeing him collapse twice would be too much for her, she'd been through the scare before.The great wolf looked like jelly and its tremors were very noticeable.Hades's head fell heavily forward and hot tears stained his wife's small shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her again and pulled her against him.He wanted to verify that it was true, that what was inside his wolf was true.That he was not dreaming.It was barely perceptible but the power emanating from within had connected with him, filling him with a comforting warmth that drove away all his fears.It was as if the puppy that was forming was telling him that he would be fine and
For the first time in years, Nebraska felt like sleeping in a bubble.Everything around her was irrelevant.She didn't feel anything, she didn't think about anything, there was only tranquility and it was a gratifying feeling.If she could stay like this for longer it would be wonderful but she realized that this was going on for a long time and she wanted to see familiar faces.So with more effort than she thought she slowly opened her eyes. Quickly the recognizable ceiling of her room with Hades came into focus.Ah, she was back.How long had she been sleeping?It must have been a lot because her body was completely numb and it hurt from everything.Despite the fact that she had been sleeping, she felt tired, very tired, to the point that her eyelids were weighing again and threatening to close and she couldn't help it.A large, warm hand moved over her head, tangling itself between her hair and giving her a massage that had her
There was only one thing she could do.And that was winning.For the pack, for all the people who trusted her, for her children, for Layan, for the daughter who had in her belly and for the wolf who had made her see the world in a different way.So no matter what happened, she must destroy Liam and more essential, stay alive. With those thoughts in his mind she lunged at the enemy.This time she focused all his senses and strength to give the necessary bites.She knew that the longer she lingered, the more likely Layan and Hades were in danger.But Liam moved very fast and his teeth landed on top of his shoulder blade.These trembled when they came into contact with the surface with little muscle.Still he squeezed and yanked the skin off trying to do as much damage as possible. Liam grunted in pain and moved his head to bite her when one of Layan's paws fell on his eye, burying himself in it.The bigger wolf shook his hea
Nebraska's teeth clenched around meat and hot liquid filled its snout.A heartrending howl invaded the expanse of the area so that everyone froze with their tails between their legs and their ears down. Liam shook himself trying to remove the smaller she-wolf on top and turned his head, grabbing her paw, burying his fangs into the thin skin, smashing the thin bones and throwing her aside.Nebraska landed a few feet from him and sat up spitting in disgust at a piece of meat she had brought with her.The leg that had been bitten was rebuilt with incredible speed.Layan's blood had given him the ability to regenerate and the strength in his body accelerated this process. For his part, the wound he had left on Liam's neck did not close as the ones caused by Hades or Layan had.Blood was spilled on the ground in great quantities.The wolf growled loudly in outrage. -Damn- he almost screamed in his mind but the voi
Hearing that voice, Nebraska tried to back off without success.Her surroundings turned totally gray and all the connections she had created with her pack were broken.Everything vanished, only her consciousness remaining in an empty place.She narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.Footsteps were heard behind her and she turned slowly knowing who was there. -My beautiful wolf- Liam stopped a few meters from her with a strange smile on his lips. -Liam- Nebraska's voice came out calm despite the situation -Apparently eating Rudoc's heart drove you crazier than you already were- -Crazy?- He laughed louder. -I've never been saner in all my life, my precious jewel-- That he called her with all those words only made her feel disgusted.If it came from her husband, it wouldn't be like that, when Hades said beautiful things to her ear, when they made love or just being by his side, it made her legs shake. -Don't think of a
