Hello Blackwood Alphas Part 2

Elias’s POV

I sigh as I step out of the kitchen area, finally done meeting with the head Omega, her staff, and the Gammas.

Yeah, I did all of that, and that should be my Luna’s job, but I don’t have one.

So it falls on me. Like everything else. My mom is still Luna… technically, but she’s semi-retired.

Truthfully?

She should’ve stepped down already. She’s been through too much, but I let it go. There's no point in pushing that right now.

Kelly, our head Omega, is training her daughter, Kaylee, to take over soon, and I’ll say this...

Kaylee is going to be perfect for the role. She knows her shit, and how to run things properly. She keeps everything organized, smooth, efficient, and more importantly?

She treats the other omegas with respect. Definitely not like some of these other packs where omegas get treated like they’re nothing.

That shit doesn’t fly here.

In our pack?

Everyone matters, everyone works, and everyone contributes. In our pack, everyone gets taken care of. That’s how my grandfather built this pack, and that’s how we’re keeping it.

I rub the back of my neck as I walk, exhaustion settling into my bones.

Grandfather still checks in from time to time.

Him and Grandma spend most of their time in the human realm now, bouncing between my aunt’s pack and my uncle’s up north thats next door to the Werewolf Council.

They don't really like it there especially since its so close to the Werewolf Council. Too damn close for comfort, but it works in our favor.

He keeps us informed and heeps us ahead of those crooked Council Members, and I respect the hell out of that.

I glance back at Kaylee, who’s still smiling, still hanging onto every word I said.

She giggles softly at something I mentioned earlier, cheeks flushed.

Yeah, she’s beautiful, there's no denying that, and if I wasn’t so damn… fucked up from everything?

I probably would’ve taken her out.

Showed her a good time, but I already know how that ends.

I would fuck her a few times and then I'm gone, and I’m not doing that to her.

She doesn’t deserve that.

I’ve messed around with a few she-wolves, the quiet ones, discreet ones, but Kaylee.

Nah.

She’s too close to the inner circle. She's too important, and I don’t mix business like that,

…except for Sabine, and that was a mistake.

A big one, I fucked Caden’s sister.

Out of all the damn people. I should’ve known better. I did know better, but after the rejection?

I wasn’t thinking straight. Neither one of us were. Draven went completely off the rails sleeping around with any woman who showed interest in him.

He didn’t care who it was, what their status was, if they looked his way, he entertained it.

Didn’t matter how they looked if they were married or mated.

I've heard some crazy stories. Some of them I wish I hadn’t.

Me?

I kept my sexual partners secret and very limited and controlled.

Except for her, and now she’s a huge problem.

She's clingy, possessive, and delusional enough to think she’s going to be Luna.

I shake my head slightly.

“Yeah… not happening.”

And then there’s Darius. He had something real with her, or at least… it should’ve been. I’m damn near certain she was his mate, and she rejected him. For me, position, and for power, and that alone pisses me off more than anything.

Because Moon Goddess my brother and I did everything right.

Everything. We stayed disciplined, stayed focused, and stayed pure til that damn rejection.

We went to Alpha school and finished ahead of time.

Excelled in everything, respected our parents, and followed every damn rule.

And we still got rejected.

Why?

Because we’re twins. I let out a bitter breath.

“I’ve never seen no shit like that in my life…”

Other packs, mates would get rejected for status, for rank, for sexual history.

But us, we were the best option, and she still said no, because she didn’t want both of us.

We could’ve figured it out.

Taken turns.

Made it work.

Hell, we’re twins. You can barely tell us apart. I shake my head, forcing myself out of that spiral.

“Alright, Kaylee,” I say, giving her a small nod. “You did good today. I’ll see you next week.”

Her whole face lights up, cheeks turning red again as I play with her ponytail.

I chuckle softly and walk away.

The second I turn my back...

That smile drops. Just like that.

I already told Draven about the meeting tomorrow.

Crupt council members are coming in which means bullshit, politics, and pretending we care more than we do.

I make my way to my room, already exhausted.

But before I even reach the door, I smell her. I close my eyes briefly.

“Of course…”

Sabine.

She’s always in my space. Always where I don’t want her to be. I just want to sleep and that’s it. Nothing else.

I open the door, and there she is. Standing there completely naked like she owns the place.

I don’t even react.

Just walk past her, heading straight for the counter. I grab a glass, pour some were-whiskey, and take a slow sip.

“Want one?” I ask flatly. She shrugs. “Sure.”

I pour her a glass, hand it off, then move to the couch and sit down. She drinks quick, a little too quick.

Then comes over, sitting close, too damn close.

“So…” she says softly. “You okay? Want me to help you relax?”

I glance at her. “No,” I say bluntly. “I want you to put some clothes on.”

She frowns slightly. “Why? I was trying to take care of you tonight, Draven. I miss your huge cock.”

I take another sip, letting the burn settle.

“I want to be alone tonight.”

Her expression shifts immediately.

Annoyed.

Frustrated.

“What is wrong with you and your brother?” she snaps. “Your brother is out there doing whatever the hell he wants, and you’re in here acting like this big ass.... an asshole”

I set my glass down slowly.

“I said leave.”

Her jaw tightens.

“You two make me sick,” she mutters. “Your brother and mine are out there doing God knows what with multiple she-wolves, and I’m trying to be with you, and you don’t even want me.”

I don’t respond.

Because I don’t.

Not tonight.

Not like this.

“Fuck it,” she snaps, grabbing her clothes and throwing them on. “I’m done.”

She storms out, slamming the door behind her. Silence fills the room.

I lean back, exhaling slowly.

“…finally.”

Peace, for once.

I run a hand over my face, mind already shifting. Council meeting tomorrow.Two of those arrogant bastards coming in.

Then the up and coming ball in six weeks, and that damn prophecy.

I glance toward the wall, knowing exactly where it’s hidden.

Deep in the dungeon behind another spelled wall. Where no one can find it. Not even the Council.

Only the Alpha bloodline, and the Luna. Which we don’t have.

I huff out a quiet breath.

“Good thing we didn’t end up with her…”

She would’ve told everything. With no hesitation. I lean back, staring at the ceiling.

“…maybe the Moon Goddess was protecting us.”

Or maybe she wasn’t.

At this point, I don’t even know anymore. All I know is, that I’m tired.

I finish my drink, pushing myself up.

“Shower, sleep, and just done.”

Because thinking about any of this any longer?

Yeah…

That’s not happening tonight.
