Keith Courage In Alpha Zones Novels & Stories

"And next time you need to clear your head, find somewhere safer than the outer walls." "I can take care of myself," I insisted, though my voice lacked its usual fire. He turned back, his expression unreadable. "Can you? Because from where I’m standing, you’re playing with forces you don’t understand. Kieran’s been filling your head with tales of healing powers and ancient prophecies, hasn’t he?" I stiffened. "You were eavesdropping?" "I'm the Alpha. Nothing happens in this fortress without my knowledge." He ran a hand through his hair, a gesture that seemed more frustrated than angry. "Whatever Kieran told you— "

I took a step towards the car when the guard stepped in front of me. “I'm sorry, Luna Prime, but I'm under strict orders from the Alpha P…” “Unless your Alpha Prime wants to come back to a burnt cottage and one less guard, you will do well to get the fuck out of my way.” I threatened. His eyes widened and I could feel the indecision coming from him. Ignoring him, I brushed past him and got into the car.

And Kline's lavender scent, once cool and pleasant, was now chillingly sharp like a knife hidden in the shadows. “Is there a problem?” Kieran was the first to speak. Her voice was flat and cold, but it held a power that made the listeners' hair stand on end. Her grey eyes stared at the thugs with an empty and emotionless gaze, as if looking at filth not worth her attention. “N-no, nothing,” the leader of the group, who seemed to be the most sober, quickly replied, stuttering. His survival instinct told him that the female Alpha in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

Because for the first time since this started— They’d gone silent. Not controlled. Not dimmed. Gone. And that terrified me more than the power ever had. “You’re too quiet.” Kael’s voice pulled me out of it. I didn’t look up. “So are you.” “That’s different.” “How?” “I’m supposed to be.” I let out a dry breath. “Right. Alpha things.” He didn’t respond to that. Of course he didn’t. I finally looked at him. He stood across the hall, near the fire again, like he always did—half in shadow, half in light, like he hadn’t decided which side he belonged to.

My every move felt like I was instructed, I duck, spin, move again; every dodge is instinctive. All I could hear was "Impossible..." at least that smiled at me, though I was curious. Across the training grounds, Adrian stops talking to another Alpha. His eyes never leave Nira.For the first time since meeting her...His expression cracks. As if he's seeing something he hoped never to see. He whispers under his breath, "So it has begun..."

“Nothing you’ve said has made sense! You don’t know who killed her? She fell for a rogue? I don’t believe you.” He met my eyes, and there was an unnerving stillness there. “The real kicker is that you do. You do believe me because you know it’s the truth. I saw the way you protected that human. No tame, let alone an alpha, has ever risked their own identity to save a human. I don’t know what Hugo means to you, but I know it’s enough to risk your own life. You were ready to die that night.” My breathing faltered. “I just can’t…it can’t be true.”

Alpha asked and sent Hazel to search for him. Keithwas currently sitting under the tree standing adjacent to Alpha's sacred room with a glass of red wine and cigarette in his hand. He felt a hand on his shoulder that made him jerk up, the glass cup fell off his hand as he positioned himself for a defense. Hazel bursted out laughing. Keith felt relieved but not happy the way he was taken unawares. "Is this how vigilant you are?" "Hazel, you won't understand. I was engulfed with so many thoughts"

Chad looked skyward scared but maintained his courageous look. The only way for him to survive Alpha Zavier wrath was to act courageous before him. He had mastered the art of courage. “How can I dare do that Alpha? You lead this pack and I can't dare do that.” Alpha Zavier felt like walking on the top of the world. He loved being praised and someone being scared to wrong him, he smiled then,“Then tell me what you know about Angelo, I have to defeat him no matter what!” he ordered.

However, Erylis' disappearance took the cake. I knew when he returned that, on the outside, I looked cold and calculated. But that was how I was trained. My father's words played out in my head: 'To be a good Alpha is to never show weakness. Never let them see you're scared.' So, I didn't. I hid behind a facade of confidence and arrogance because it was what was best for the pack.

It was the Alpha. "Report." Kael keyed the mic, his voice respectful but urgent. "Alpha. The territory is... secure. But we encountered significant, unknown hostiles. Zero is down. Critical injuries." There was a pause on the other end, so long I thought the signal had dropped. When the Alpha's voice came back, it was colder than the grave. "Bring him in. Immediately." Another pause, then his next words were directed, I knew, at me. "And bring the mate. I want a full debriefing. It seems our new asset has attracted more... attention... than we anticipated."
