ALPHA DAMON. We make our way to the garden and everyone is gathered here, I mean even the children are here, I mean they don't know yet but somewhere deep down I'm sure they can all feel that something has gone wrong. My throat feels stuck, that I have to clear it a few times before I'm able to get any words out. Kylie comes forward and stands by my side, her presence giving me exactly what I need to get through this moment. “I want to thank all of you for gathering here on such short notice, I always imagined that the next time we would all be here would be to celebrate the defeat of the rogue Alpha but unfortunately that is not why I have gathered you here this morning.” I tell them and then I take a deep breath and it's like everyone else is holding their breaths, waiting for what I'll say, I swear you could hear a pin drop. “It is with a grave and heavy heart that I announce the death of my father and former Alpha, Alpha Derek Donovan who passes aw
ALPHA DAMON. Just as we thought, Stephanie was inconsolable, I mean when she saw my dads body she went as white as a ghost and she passed out immediately. It took a few minutes for us to get her back and then she started crying, she couldn't stop, she said her goodbyes in tears as the doctor came in with some nurses and they took my fathers body back to the pack. She refused to leave his room so I had Kylie stay with her while Daniel and I went to find Chef to see if he had the feeds for us. “Damon, I hate to say this, but it has to be said, it's been more than five hours, we need to announce this, before it gets out as a rumour.” Daniel tells me. “I know that, but not yet, not until we know what killed him.” As we make our way down to the basement. “We don't know how long that autopsy is going to take Damon, I'm your brother but I am also your Beta, so I have to tell you that right now you have to think like an Alpha and not a son.” He says and I immedia
ALPHA DAMON. “You can't do this to me.” She screams at me as she backs away from the guards. “I can do whatever the hell I want, Guards, seize her.” I command them and the two of them go to her and take her hands. “You are making a huge mistake, I didn't kill him, I swear I didn't kill him.” She shouts but all her words are falling on deaf ears. “Get her out of here.” I tell the guards and they drag her out of the room as she screams and then it's just me in the room and the silence too. I look at my father and I want to make my way over to him but my legs are stuck, I can't move and it's hard to breathe. I shouldn't have let him leave, I shouldn't have let him leave. Those are the words that keep running through my head. I hear the door open and I don't turn around until I feel her hands on my shoulder. “How did you know?” I ask her. “I could feel your pain, it woke me up from my sleep.” She tells me and I let out a breath. “I
ALPHA DAMON. Daniel and Chef get back to me in minutes and they don't even need to ask what's going on when they see the dead body hanging behind me. “Fuck.” Daniel exclaims. “What? How? Where were the guards?” Chef asks as he moves closer to the body. “For the how, I'm pretty sure he bit out his tongue and then proceeded to choke on it, as for the guards they were outside and failed to do their hourly check ins.” I explain to them and then they look at each other. “Are they still alive?” Daniel asks me. “Oh yes, they absolutely are, I'm saving all thsi rage for my captain of guards because all he has been doing is disappointing me lately.” I say to them, feeling my wolf just below the surface. “You can't blame him for this Damon.” Chef says to me. “Oh, I very well can because our one lead, the only person who could tell us the identity of the rogue Alpha is dead and all because he put incompetent guards here.” I snap at him. I hear fo
ALPHA DAMON. Daniel and Stephanie go up to their room, I mean it's been a real emotional day for all of us. “Well, that went good, don't you think?” I ask my dad. “Yeah it sure did, I mean I expected sad tears, but not happy tears.” He says with a smile on his face, still looking emotional himself. “Well, I better head on home.” He says as he gets up. “You're going back to your house? I mean you don't have to.” I tell him and he smiles and puts his hand on my shoulder. “I know and I'll be back first thing tomorrow, I just have some things to take care off back at home.” He says and for some reason that doesn't seat well with me. “Well, I can go with you.” I tell him and he laughs. “I love that we are in a good place now son, but you don't need to come with me. I promise you I'll be back first thing in the morning alright.” He says to me. “Ok.” I say reluctantly because every fiber of my being wants him to stay here, and I know that
ALPHA DAMON. Daniel had a pouty look on his face like he wanted to cry but I know he was just faking. “Well it's not like we did it on purpose, Chef told Damon last night and Morana told Kylie and this morning, plus I told you immediately you got back home.” My sister tries to pacify him. “Well it still doesn't change the fact that I was the last to find out.” Daniel adds. “Baby, being pouty isn't a good look on you.” Stephanie says to him and the whole table bursts out laughing and Daniel joins in too. “Alright then, let's eat.” I announce. The plates are passed around and everyone's plates are full, it's clear that everyone is starving and this meal was needed. “So, how are you feeling Morana?” My father asks her. “Well thankfully the first trimester wasn't that bad and I'm just really sleepy all the time, that's all.” She tells him. “Yes, that'd expected, you'll get your energy back during the second trimester, you'll have more ener
