Alpha Krig

I received a phone call from Alpha Arton that worried me. I know my firstborn son Noah's technical ability well; he's a professional. He was trained to be an alpha. But knowing that he and Rebeca went to Russia alone after a dirty vampire didn't make me confident. Wolves in a fight when they're together with their mates have great difficulty concentrating.
My instinct made me mentally call my second son, James, who was now the Alpha of the pack. He would know what to do.

Mateo

The phone rang and I answered it quickly. I was already going to bed. But my cousin James wouldn't call at this hour if it wasn't something important. Hello, how are you? What's up?

“Noah and Rebeca are hunting.”

“Yes, I knew. I was going to go on that trip, but I stayed here solving the mediation between two packs.
Wait! We have Natsuke’s father near Siberia. It’s a small pack, but they won’t refuse help.
Okay. Okay. I think you’re right.”
Nat was apprehensive. “Relax, love. I think John and Bella can take care of the pack for a while. We’re going to visit your father in Russia, and I’m going to take the opportunity to see how my cousin Noah is doing.”
Nat smiled and sighed deeply. “Mat, I was eating myself up inside. I’m worried about Rebeca. I feel indebted to your cousins. They went to get me with you in Russia. We need to be there for them too.”
Was she or wasn’t she the perfect luna? “That’s what being a family is all about, Nat. Yes, we are. Tomorrow morning, I’ll prepare John and Bella to be responsible here.”

James

I was swamped with papers in my office. I heard the special ring tone of my cell phone. Who could it be at this hour? Robert and Liam appeared on the video call.
“James!” Robert said. “Brothers! Something wrong with Noah?” Robert had been worried about our older brother’s trip for days. He had forbidden us from going after him. However, he was no longer the Alpha. I was the one in charge of the pack. And we never left the family alone. Even if it was just for moral support.
“Yes. Our last report is that they found the vampire near the city of Krasnoiarsk.” Liam said.
“He left explicit orders for us not to get involved,” Robert pondered. “Do you want to wait and not get involved? I understand. A vampire is a new situation, we can observe and learn, you never know…”
“And miss the chance to kick a murderous bloodsucker’s ass? Never! Noah told us not to go after him, but he’s no longer the Alpha and we got to Russia before him. Theoretically it will be a chance encounter. We’ll approach them and stay close. Just to see if they’re okay.”
“Fuck you, Noah. One for all and all for one!”. “Just like old times,” Liam said.

Alpha Arton

She was my daughter. I wasn’t always by her side, it’s true. However, it took me a while to find out about her existence, although I could suspect that something like this could happen.
At that time, I was lost. I felt intense pain when I let my destined mate be with her chosen mate. I focused on work, politics, had several romances and a few bastard children.
But, although I knew them and even helped their mothers financially, I never got involved with them. But she wasn’t like the others. She had a lot of me. She was the only woman and the only one who had the Alpha aura besides my blood.

Rebeca had been raised in childhood by a stepfather who loved her. I never wanted to take the place of this honorable man. So, to protect her and for her to be accepted into my pack not as a bastard but as my heir and luna, we faked our marriage. The pack loved her as much as I did. And they knew she would take over when I retired. But now, I could do something for her, even if it meant physically distancing myself from her.
When Noah told me where they were going and their purpose, I feared that the desire for revenge would take away my daughter's future. It would be impossible for me to give up all the power I had gained by becoming president of the Council of Wolves. After so much investment of time and negotiations. But she was my daughter and I needed to do more than just wait. Be there for her, try to fill the void I had left behind.
I just needed to make a decision. And the way things were going, it was now or never.
