An Alpha's Duty Novels & Stories

"I am going to a meeting with the other Alphas … to discuss the problem with the rogues." “And what do you need me to do ?” Is he finally going to ask me to stop up and act as Alpha while he is gone ? ‘Don’t get your hopes up, you’ll just get our tail in a twist.’ Cana warns. My father gives me a smile. “I need you to take some of …,” I wait, holding my breath. “… Your mothers responsibilities so she can help Beta Connor lead the pack.” I feel myself deflate and Cana mumbles. ‘Told you … hate it … but told you.’

I wasn’t expecting that… I step back, wondering how he combatted his ego. “I’m surprised you backed down.” “Is it that surprising?” He asks, a hand to his chin as he observes me. “Yeah, since you’re an Alpha…” I say trying not to pay attention to his Adam’s apple. He raises one of those eyebrows of his, his smouldering eyes burning into me. “Being an Alpha doesn’t only mean walking around and displaying arrogance, there’s far more to being an Alpha… Above all an Alpha’s duty is to protect. I genuinely want to help you to attain control.”

“Put Hollies name back on the list and put her wherever you need her the most” “Yes Alpha” Once he left my office, I mind linked Elijah. He had no right to change the rotas once I’d already authorized them. Unable to get a hold of Elijah I sent him a text message telling him Hollie was to locate Pete to find where she was stationed tonight. Withing seconds he had responded asking why she couldn’t have the night off to which I reminded him of the threat she made to Raven. When he didn’t respond I knew he had the ump, but I didn’t care. I am the alpha, and he needs to listen.

"Have you forgotten who you're talking to, Luca? Then let me remind you…I am your Alpha!" "And as an Alpha you should be aware of the bloody power you have over your pack!" He snapped, jerking away his hand from my grip. "The packmates listen to their Alpha! They follow their Alpha to please them the best they can! An Alpha's duty is not just to create a pack, but to ensure everyone's safety! To provide unbiased judgment on the innocent!"

He begins. His smirk morphing into a stern, more serious look, like he’s scolding me and teaching some life lesson. “A true Alpha does not let things like emotions, feelings or friendship stand in the way of his duties. A true Alpha is firm. Putting your faith in people, letting yourself get entangled with filth… all that will eventually become your downfall. That is why today, I have you at the palm of my hands. I can make you do and say whatever I please.” He lectures.

“I do not know if you are delusional or merely stupid. The Alpha of the Angels and Banes pack?” The reputation of Alpha Rex and his pack has put me in a situation where it seemed like no one was going to believe me easily. I didn’t think I would believe anyone too if they told me the same thing. A few weeks ago, if anyone told me I would become the caregiver of a brutal man like him, I would laugh and call it an expensive joke too. “You lots tell all kinds of lies just to avoid doing your duty and from what I see, you have somehow evaded it for a very long time.”

“I did not call you here to celebrate a wedding. I called you here to face the truth.” A ripple of movement went through the crowd, but no one spoke. “An Alpha’s first duty is to protect his pack,” I said, my chest tight. “But to protect you, I must first be able to see clearly. And for a long time, I have been blind. I have allowed things to happen under my own nose, in my own territory that are a disgrace to our ancestors. I have not been the Alpha you deserved.” “What about the trial, Alpha?” a voice shouted from the back. “What about the traitors?”

“Iris Herewit.” My name cracks through the room. My pulse spikes. “The Alpha has come to his senses. Duty must come first.” I gasp. Blink. My heart already ripping. “Duty?” My voice sharpens, a bitter laugh breaking out. “The Alpha has a duty to me, as much as he does to the pack. Which duty are you talking about?” Their smug silence answers for them. “His duty to the pack,” one says, lips curling. The words hit like claws to my gut. My knees buckle. I stumble, sinking to the floor, legs too weak to hold me.

I’m sure it’s a pissing match the first few days. The Alphas learn about caring for the pack financially and dealing with disputes amongst members. They are the strongest in the pack and usually at frontline of defense when attacks happen and must put the pack first. The Beta's job is to take on any responsibilities from the Alpha or Alpha's that don't need direct influence from the Alpha. The Beta is second in command and the Alpha's right hand person. The Gamma's job is similar to the Beta, but they are the Luna's second in command and her prime protector. The Delta is the lead warrior, incharge of the packs defense and safety. They each have a job that is way more complicated and st

Which sucks on so many levels, not just for me. “An Alpha is supposed to protect his pack, support them, especially those that need it the most. It’s literally your job description. An Alpha that can’t do his job will lose his pack. Your pack's downfall will be your fault,” I said out loud. This Alpha reminded me so much of my brother it hurt. What was the Goddess thinking with this match?
