My Broken Promise To The Rising Alpha Novels & Stories

The words landed differently than I expected. An Alpha Pact was not a handshake. It was not a promise, not in any sense that the word carried in ordinary usage. It was an ancient rite threaded back to the founding wolf, the first of their kind, the original blood from which every Alpha line descended, and it had teeth. Real teeth. Breaking an Alpha Pact did not simply dissolve the agreement. It unraveled the wolf who had made it, slowly and without mercy, until there was nothing left but the echo of what they had sworn and failed to keep.

He offered. “Weally?” Jessy asked and although I could not see my child’s face, I could tell that she was brimming with excitement. “Yes Jessy, I promise. And I never break my promises.” The Alpha assured. “I’ll be good.” Jessy promised and the Alpha flashed her a smile. “You know I can scent you from here mommy.” The Alpha called, his tone light and teasing. I laughed loudly, finally pushing open the door and going into the room. “Did you hear Jessy’s promise?” He asked.

"But we’re finishing what we started—later." Her eyes softened as she reached up to stroke my cheek. "Promise?" "Wild wolves couldn't keep me away," I vowed As she left to get ready, I silently renewed my vow to destroy anyone who threatened her happiness—starting with Alpha Foster. The man who had broken her spirit, abused her trust, and failed to protect their son would soon learn what happened when you crossed an Alpha protecting his mate. And it would not be a gentle lesson.

Stumbling up, I beat on the wall. ‘Eros! No! Don’t let it snap back! Try to hold on! Please! I can’t…I can’t lose you.’ I slid down the wall, my forehead leaning against it. Putting my hand over my heart, the runes burned painfully. ‘We can’t hurt them. We made a promise. A promise that we have to uphold. We promised. We are Alpha. We keep the promises we make.’

“You used your alpha order on me. You promised never to do that. Do you remember that conversation? At the waterfall. You promised. What good is a promise if you’re going to break it?” “What do you want me to say? I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking straight. All I saw were two massive wolves ready and willing to rip you to shreds to get to Colleen. I didn’t want you getting hurt. I got caught up in the moment. It won’t happen again.” “Another promise you’ll break, no doubt,” she said with fury in her glare. “That’s not fair.” “What’s not fair is the fact that you can do whatever you want. You say the word, and people obey. I don’t work like that.”

Victory didn’t come in a single moment. It came in pieces, small, decisive shifts that stacked on each other until the outcome became unavoidable, because while the Alpha King had marched forward with confidence, backed by Packs that believed his name alone would be enough to crush any resistance, what he failed to account for was how fragile forced loyalty becomes when survival is placed on the other side of the scale.

“Father… do you really think one of them would take a mate from another pack?” I studied her face—hopeful, hungry. “They are Alphas,” I said. “They think in terms of advantage. Strength. Bloodlines.” “And me?” she asked. “You are valuable,” I answered honestly. “You are a prize.” She smiled. That smile reminded me painfully of how things should have been. I let them both with a wave and returned to my window once more. The moon hung heavy above the Nightfang territory, bright and watchful. I did not believe in fate.

“I don't know who you are, so while I appreciate you saving our lives, I need to get away because I don't know your intentions, and I've had to learn the hard way not to trust anyone.” The Alpha frowned and looked at me intensely, as if he were seeing me for the first time, as if he understood more than I could understand myself. That made me very uncomfortable. “It's normal to be suspicious, especially if you've been hurt, but we made a deal; did you forget?” He asked gently and lifted her wrist. I looked at the sacred promise mark, and my eyebrows rose, then I checked my wrist and remembered the promise he had made in the forest to calm me down. A promise that tangled in my chest and froze

“Yes it is” “Well, I think you are forgetting something here little munchkin, I am Alpha and this is my pack. I can do and undo, I can take decisions and change them whenever I want, I can make deals and break them however I want and no one has any right to question me. Yes I said you were going to work as a security guard, but now I’ve changed my mind and if you were following closely, you will recall what I said about breaking deals however I want!”

“Before I allow you down here, you have to make me a promise. You have to promise me that you would be discreet with whatever you see here. You would not disclose that information to anyone in your pack, not even Xavier.” “You know I can’t withhold useful information from the Alpha,” Jimin complained. “If it is going to help us win the coming wars, then I have to tell him.” “The same foolish ideas your father shared,” Calisté sighed. “See this as something that you have absolutely no control over. I mean, take it like you are just seeing it and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s not very useful information anyways.” “If you say so,” Jimin sighed. “So what is it. What do you have to s
