All Chapters of The Alpha's Brother : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I have all the eyes of the room upon me as I ensurde that Lena was sat comfortably beside me. My father’s eyes were all but burning through me. ‘This better be good you fucking waste of space.’ He snapped through our mindlink the second he had walked through the door, despite the words he had spoken out loud. I suppose the words shared through the link may not have been quite so appropriate in the presence of guests. Not that the way he spoke to me out loud was much better. 'Fucking showing me up when I had said you would be the one we could rely upon.' He added with venom. Oh, dear. Had he put all his hopes into me? I guess he knew where Hunter stood on this then...‘Give me chance.’ I explained, but his dark stare did nothing to ease the nerves that were beginning to build. I had no clue how he would take my news, despite me trying to sound confident when talking to Lena about it. Yes, it was a marriage as requested by my parents, and pack elders but I had no clue if the she-wolves

I could see the sheer excitement upon my father’s face as he realised I was willingly proposing a marriage to one of the she-wolves they had brought here for that exact purpose. It only made me wonder if he even had any faith in his plans.But as the conversation developed I could see Lena’s face paling at the mention of my brother from her Alpha, while anger rushed through my veins. Her Alpha wanted the marriage to my brother. I was only going to be considered second best, exactly as I had suggested to Lena. While I had believed her words when she said she did not want to become a Luna, she may get no say in this. This was an arranged marriage. A business arrangement between the two packs I suppose you would consider it, despite it involving two people. Her pack seniors were always going to push for the best deal they could.My heart dropped as the sweet girl I held all my hopes upon no longer seemed to want to meet my eye, or anybody else’s for that matter. I could not help but wond

My own father’s words shocked me. This was a warmer side to him that I did see shine through every now and again when he was talking to my Mum, or my grandmother. Occasionally to children within pack. That tough Alpha exterior did occasionally slip. And now, here he was showing that same caring side with Lena. I had to smile. But, what stood out more than anything was that he appeared to be agreeing to our marriage...I had to say, despite my initial reasoning when suggesting the marriage to Lena being to get me out of the potential disaster that a marriage could have been if paired with some of the she-wolves Hunter had described to me in the meetings he had attended, the longer I spent in Lena's presence the more I knew she was meant to bump into me today. There was something about this she-wolf… Fate may not have the same control it used to in our world any longer, but I cannot help but believe it still intervened in some way…“We can do this?” I questioned my Dad, just needing tha

Chaos had taken over the room after Alpha Isak had declared our news. Announced my betrayal. So, with a guiding arm around my shoulders, Ezra led me from the conference room to leave Alpha Isak and my own Alpha and Uncle fighting it out. I think he may be right, I think his father was actually enjoying toying with them...“Come on, let me get you a drink. Maybe another slice of that cake, huh?” Ezra smiled down upon me warmly.I knew that he was trying to distract me. To offer me something else to foucs upon besides what may be occuring inside of that conference room, or the things that may lay ahead now that this was, in fact happening, but my insides were churning, and in all honesty, I felt sick like never before… “I don’t think I could eat a thing.” I admitted, with a wry smile, causing Ezra to chuckle.“Hmm, didn’t go quite as well as we could have hoped, huh?” He nudged me playfully with his arm, and I looked at him with a raised brow.“Did you think it was ever going to go well

I found myself sitting on a garden swing upon the sweeping porch looking out on the gardens of a beautiful house set up near the edges of the treelines. Ezra’s home, and oddly, away from the chaos of the main pack. I had declined a tour, in need of a moment to collect my thoughts, so Ezra had led me to the garden, and there I had sat since. Staring off into the forest ahead...Now, I nursed the coffee within my hand that Ezra had since brought me, while looking out across the garden in front of me. Peace. Tranquility. There was plenty of that to be found here. Something I needed right now as I faced the reality of what I had just done. I had found some inner strenght, that was for certain. Just as my sister had done. And I had stood up to my Alpha and Uncle. I had done something for me. Something I would likely never be forgiven for.Ezra and I had left the packhouse almost immediately after my parents had walked away from me. With his reassurance, I was able to see they were only doi
