Alpha HadesOnce Zeno falls asleep, I cover his frame with the sheets, lean over him to press my lips to his temple, get dressed and leave the room. I don't feel even a little bit human anymore. How could I go so far? How could I do that to the one person that managed to take my heart without trying? I can't look at myself anymore. I'm not a man, not a damn Alpha; I'm a fucking piece of shit for what I did. The first thing I should do would be to find his piece of shit father and show that fucker his place, but until I get back into the right headspace, it's better to avoid any kind of confrontation. So, instead of taking a turn towards the hall that leads to the main office of the packhouse, I take the right turn and walk towards the door I know leads out to the gardens. Zeno's pack members bow as I pass by them, and some even go as far as to try to hide the moment I come into their view. If only those unlucky fuckers knew the man they admire is more of a monster than I could eve

Alpha Hades"Nero?" Zeno calls my name behind me, and my body instantly tenses. I don't have it in me to turn around and face him now, especially after what I did. I know Damon thinks Zeno won't be angry at me, but I can't help but think he will rip my head off for being so thoughtless and taking his choices. This was a decision we were supposed to make together, but instead, I took his voice, I took his life, and though I'm happy he's mine for good, I still feel like shit. I had no right to do this, husband or not, but I still had no right. "Nero, please look at me," Zeno whispers as his hand slowly slides up my arm and stops on my shoulder. I suck in a sharp, deep breath and shake my head. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper, doubting my own voice. If I turn around, I have no idea how Zeno might react and look at me after his newfound scar. If I were a little bit smarter, I would have done as much as voiced the need to mark him. In that case, Zeno would know what to expect or at leas

Zeno I throw Nero an apologetic glance as my father grips my wrist and pulls me out of my bedroom. His hold is so tight that I'm sure he will leave bruises. Yet, despite that, I allow him to drag me around like a rag doll for the sole fact of who he is. This man created me, brought me up and taught me the most important lessons in my life, so I can't dismiss him as if he weren't there from the very beginning. The bottom line is that I have respect for him even if he mistreats me or tries to lie only because he is my dad. Not everyone is as lucky as I am, some kids grow up without a father figure in their lives, so I guess I should appreciate what I have.My father shoves me inside his office and slams the door shut. His face and neck are bright red while he's struggling to breathe. I almost freak out, but once I remember this is his usual behaviour in moments of intense rage, I decide to step back. "You," he roars as his eyes settle on me. "You, ungrateful, selfish fucking brat. A

Alpha SilverHe knows. How?How did he figure it out? There's no way someone told him because no one knows it, no one but me, and I definitely didn't tell shit to this man. I'm not that stupid. I gulp and look up at the eyes blazing in anger and disgust. Who does he think he is? The King's bastard? Sure, that he is, but he has no power over anyone, he is the disowned son no one wanted or needed, so if anything, I still stand higher. I don't give a shit about the power he holds in his pack or how many territories he has taken over because, at the end of the day, I stand where I was supposed to stand from the day I was born. Still, he runs around and takes everything he wants like an ill-behaved kid who steals candy from others because his parents refused to buy him one. My heart rate fastens when fucking Rogue Alpha gets a little closer and inhales more of my scent. Those have to be the new suppressants that don't work. "Does your son knows? Should we call him back here and discuss

Alpha HadesI should've known there was no reason to trust Damon. The guy is my best friend, my second in command, but also a complete dumbass when it comes to relationships. Ha, funny because his advice is the only one I listen to. Alright, but I have a reason for that since this has to be the first ever relationship I've been so invested in. It's not only because of marriage, even though I believe marriage is an important thing done only by people who really love each other, but in our case, it's irrelevant. Zeno and I, what we have is more than a paper that binds us in front of legal power and all. I love that man more than he can imagine. Here I am, the Rogue Alpha, the monster and the King's bastard to everyone outside our circle, but for him, I'm so much more. I never thought someone could look at me the way he does, let alone a man. And maybe all those thoughts are what pisses me off on top of everything that already happened. Zeno is in the car behind the one I had to take
