Semua Bab Fated to the Alpha: Bab 21 - Bab 30

“You don’t have to say a thing. I understand more than most people how overwhelming it can get,” Father Thomas said. Then he patted my head affectionately. “For all intents and purposes from here on out, you are one of us.”I walked along the reservation with Brandon, his giant arm hung over my shoulders, greeting everyone who came forward to meet us. I met with the rest of the elders, let them pat me on my head, welcome me with their words, and feeling a little bit better each time I exchanged words with them.“Are you ready?” Brandon asked.“To meet your parents?” I asked.“Yes,” Brandon said as we headed up to his quaint little house. The house sat at the edge of a calm and green lake. The water was so clear that I could see through to the bottom of the lake. From the garage, I heard grunting sounds coming from behind a truck.I headed inside after Brandon. Brandon knocked on the truck’s door and said, “Dad! Alice’s here.”Brandon’s dad was a handsome man, rugged and muscular. He r

“Aren’t they gonna be mad?” Alice asked nervously. We were walking along the road, leaving the rest of the team back at the diner, where they were cheering each other, drinking milkshakes, making out with the cheerleaders, and running back the details of the match to each other with exaggeration.“Hey, I gave it my all. I made us win. I think they can let us be for a little while,” I said. I just wanted to walk with her, far from the madding crowd. To be with her was celebration enough. When my coach asked me after the match how I had overcome all the odds and won, I didn’t tell him the true answer. I didn’t tell him that I was channeling the strength and passion that Alice had instilled in me. I just told him that I kept my head down, practiced a lot, and it all finally paid off. That was good enough for him. The coach was happy with the trophy. My team was happy with the scholarship offers.I was happy with Alice.“You ever sometimes think about portals opening up and taking you som

I clung to the post of the tower, trying to think of what to do. All of these men were masked, all of them in SWAT gear that seemed impenetrable. The only positive to this was that Brandon wasn’t here. Maybe he won’t die after all. Maybe it would be me.As these nameless, faceless, black-uniformed men closed their ranks around the tower, I felt fear freezing my extremities. Were these the DOPC that Brandon had mentioned? If so, why were they here?I closed my eyes and called to Brandon in my heart, hoping that the bond we shared would prove its usefulness.Don’t come down here. The DOPC is here. Run!Right as I’d sent this telepathic message to Brandon, one of the uniformed men came up to me, holding a scanner of sorts to my face. Another grabbed me by the throat and pushed me against the post so I wouldn’t move.It was pointless to scream.As the soldier with the scanner scanned my face, I called out to Brandon again.“Fellas, is there something wrong here? I mean, it’s just me and m

But it was done now. My dear Alice was a werewolf just like me.The Ritual had healed her beautifully, saving her life, preserving her form, and transforming her into the wolf she was always meant to be.As Alice howled, I shifted and came to my mate’s side.Alice was even more beautiful in her wolf form. Her fur was light in color, shining in the moonlight as she pounced on the soldiers. I could not stay behind. Not worried any longer about her life, I threw myself into the horde of soldiers, dismembering them with merciless brutality.They had drawn first blood. They had attacked. They had effectively killed Alice. They did not deserve my mercy.I fought to kill.As did Alice.I could see her tearing heads, slicing limbs, disemboweling the guts of all the soldiers within her reach. Bullets could not harm her now. Especially since she was just coming into her powers. As her body was still adapting to her new form, it was healing itself faster than any bullet that came flying her way

I agreed. It was the right thing to do, especially since they had prisoners. I wondered if Brandon’s parents were all right. My heart worried for the elders of the pack. They were so old, so frail … what if the DOPC had attacked the reservation?“I’ll say this about our quarry. No two wolves could have caused this much damage. They took fifty of our best men out without barely breaking a sweat. And where are they?” the soldier asked the captain.“They’ve fled, by the looks of it, rabid dogs that they are,” the captain said. “You see why we have to put an end to them, don’t you?”“Now more so than ever, sir,” the soldier said. “I trained with so many of these men at West Point, Langley, Quantico. All over the place. These were my brothers.”If they were so fraternal, they should have thought twice about signing up for a cause that kills innocent creatures, Brandon said hotly.Calm down, Brandon. We cannot afford to give away our location, I said.We watched silently from our perches as
