Arranged To The Alpha Novels & Stories

He sticks his arm out and I grasp it giving it a firm shake. "I know, I should have been here last night." "No something to know about Aurora, sometimes it is best to make her stew for a bit or she can start getting spoilt all the time." " Good to know." "I'll go get her for you." " Wait a moment, before you get her. I have something with you I want to talk about." " Anything Alpha what is it?" " I want the honour of you being my and this packs Beta. Will you do the honour?"

Fiona answered as she pats Brooklyn's shoulder. Austin and Brooklyn decided to come live with their mother till the whole thing was over. On the day of the rites, Fiona, Austin and Brooklyn couldn't hold back their tears as their beloved one was lowered to the ground. After the funeral, everybody headed to the house where Fiona and the court members when to discuss in the office. "Austin is the right one to become the alpha" One of the members said. "No Brooklyn should be the one to become alpha since he's the open one, Austin is quiet and more dangerous than Brooklyn, and he isn't after becoming alpha so Brooklyn can be made alpha" Another argued.

The way their voices dropped lower when they passed certain corridors. Kaelira. Always Kaelira. “They’re not just talking,” he added. “They’re planning.” Of course they were. My fingers tapped once against my arm before going still again. “What kind of planning?” I asked. “Positioning,” he said. “Shifting loyalties. Testing where the Alpha stands now that she’s… separate from him.” Separate. The word sat wrong. Not because it was incorrect. But because it wasn’t complete. She wasn’t just separate.

I raised an eyebrow at him. Under my gaze, he fidgeted. “I didn’t mean to sound disrespectful, Alpha. You are Alpha to one of the largest packs around. Knowing the names and minute details of all our lives. That is why you have your Beta, Gamma, and Delta,” he nodded, settling on putting his hands behind his back, standing at attention. “That is indeed why I have them. Now then, as for why you have been called before me,” I said, wanting to get to the point.

"... the Alpha position must return to my bloodline." *

Alston retorted. “Then what does the beta do?” She blinked rapidly before pouting her lips at him. “He’s the second to the alpha. Luna is the first to the alpha and the second to the pack.” He closed the distance between them, staring into her eyes and tucking the last strand of her hair.

Silence followed that. Because it was accurate. And worse, it was visible now. The Alpha approached from the far edge of the clearing, his presence quieter than usual. He had been observing from a distance again, as if recalibrating his understanding of what “functioning” meant in this system. “You have reduced dependency,” he said. Liam nodded. “Yes.” The Alpha continued. “And increased variance.” Aria looked at him. “Yes.” A pause. “That was expected,” she added. The Alpha studied the clearing.

The alpha explained. The alpha looked at them to look for a sign of agreement and he did not fail. Both the beta and the gamma bowed and smiled at him as a symbol that they agreed. It has been a tiring week for them and a celebration from the winning pack is not a bad reward. They knew that they would enjoy the celebration.

Amber was glad she had his attention now, even if the look on his face wasn’t a pleasant one. “Do I need to explain this again to you Miss Dubois? This is a business arrangement. Furthermore, I am still awaiting all the results from your medical tests. In time, Dr. Gainey will provide me with the time of the month you will be ovulating to maximize the chances of conception. You just had your birth control implant removed, so those hormones are still in your system. Do not take me for a fool Miss Dubois. Have a nice day.”

An Alpha. Finally free.
