An Alpha's Duty Novels & Stories

I hate it. An Alpha shouldn’t be worshipped. The way I see it, an Alpha is responsible for the pack. It’s our duty to protect, defend, support, and nurture them. We’re supposed to lead by example, not from a gilded throne while weaker members fawn over us and get stomped into the dirt.

I look around, wondering where this is, it's not far from the compound but completely secluded, if I hadn't followed him, I'd never known such a sight was out here “What are you doing out here?” He shrugs. “I’m on patrol” Is he joking? “You? An alpha?” Finally, he drags his eyes from the moon to face me “Isn't that one of my duties? As alpha?” “I thought your job was to lead, alpha, leader of the pack?” I wiggle my fingers in a forward movement. “My first duty is to protect." A small smile tugs at his lips. "Hence the patrol.” That makes sense, I pouted a little “And what’s my duty?” He tenses, giving me a searching look, hints of silver glint in his eyes, probably a reflection from the mo

“I've done a lot of learning myself as my office as an alpha demands and I can say that learning is often rewarding.” “Yes,” Leah responded, the mocking smile still playing on her lips. “But I do know that the duty of the alpha is way greater than just learning of other packs.” Lucas nodded. He didn't think this was the turn the conversation was going to take, but he gave her a response that was fitting. “Yes, my duty is more about keeping my people safe in all regards.” Leah gave him a long look, then lifted her chin. “Then perhaps you should focus on keeping your small pack safe, rather than standing outside my father’s court.”

That was cold, he could've at least let me thank him for helping me that time. "What a dick." Daichi said, fixing up his tie. "They think just because they're alphas, they can strut around like their hot stuff, piss off." He yelled but they were probably too far to hear. Daichi is a beta and he's hated alphas for as long as I can remember but he's friends with some people who are alphas. He might hate alphas but in his words, "Only the Alphas who are too proud to distinguish right from wrong." Akito on the other hand is an alpha that he trusts, we all met in elemtary school but Daichi and I were friends first.

Nothing in my life had ever been this calm. Beta Xavier already informed me that the Alpha was away on a mission and would be returning today. His voice had sounded steady, but his eyes had lingered on me for a moment too long, as if he knew that the Alpha’s arrival would change everything. I tried to erase the thought before it grew too loud in my mind. After all, the Alpha had paid for me. Paid my father. That truth sat like a stone in my chest.

He winked at me. ♤♤♤ “I'll be going away for a while, Allison.” Alpha Lazar broke the bombshell the moment we walked into his room. It is some minutes past nine and we just came back from our little date, a date I didn't want to end. “You'll be going away?” I asked, sounding shocked. “Yeah. Alpha duties. We have some issues to attend to. It is an annual meeting.” “How long will you be away?” I asked him, already feeling sad with the information.

“The Alpha is dead.” The book in my hand dropped to the floor.

"As Alphas, we will carry out our duty by the Order of the Moon Goddess’ Will to ensure the one who shone can fulfill her role.” “All of your duties fall under the Alpha King and his heir. It might work out badly for you to stand up there and be part of this fiasco,” I gritted viciously, eyeing him with scorching intensity. “You’ve got guts standing there like I can’t throw you all in the damn galdron.”

“Well duh, I couldn't finish my food because of that stupid task we were given.” He let out a chuckle. “Azrael was grumpy because of that too.” “Oh? I don't think we were forced to participate though.” He spilled out a darker chuckle. It was as if there's more to that. “You little newbie. It's mandatory for Alphas to participate in such things. For everyone else, it's optional.” He said, sliding down the chair. “No way, mandatory and optional in the same line? Crazy.” I said. “Wait, why were the other Alphas absent then?”

But I wasn't going to be selfish. I guess he saw what I felt in my eyes because he sighed, a sound that was pained. His fingers grazed my lips, his breath fanning my face as he spoke, his gray eyes locked on mine. "I have to. It's my responsibility as an Alpha. I have to make sure my pack is safe." He placed a hand on my stomach, his touch a warm, comforting thing. "I'll be back," he said, his voice a low, gentle whisper. "I'll be back as soon as I can. Just... just be careful. Please."
