Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 50

*KADE*

"Where the fuck are you going now?" I asked my sister who stood outside the pack house with her things picked and her friends gathered around her, wailing and crying.

"I made a promise, didn't I?" She smiled at me, her face set in hard lines despite her smile. I could see the resolve in her eyes and it made my heart twinge.

"Felicity, what is this?" I forced my voice to be soft despite my wolf's anger towards every and anyone around him. This was my baby sister we were talking about. I'd been mean to her, shouted and forced her to leave my office but it didn't mean my love for her disappeared. I was supposed to protect her, not send her away!

"I promised I would help you. This is where I start." The people gathered outside to bid her farewell and looked at me, their eyes burning into my back. "Let's go to my office and talk," I grabbed her hand but she resisted for a second before caving.

"Okay, but I can't talk for long. I don't want to miss my flight." She followed me back into the pack house and up the stairs to the room I used as my office.

"Start talking," Flint snarled when we got into the office. I held my wolf back as my sister sat up straighter. "I'm sorry, Flint is being cranky," I apologized. She gave me another smile that made me want to wrap my arms around her and shield her.

"I understand." She lowered her head for a second before raising it with a sad smile. "You lost your mate so I understand you are not in the best mood."

I'd like to continue to make excuses but as the Alpha, I could not. It was my duty to protect these people, to love them and show them kindness but for the past weeks, Flint always pushed me to do the opposite.

My life was falling apart fast.

My wolf was inconsolable and uncontrollable. He snarled at everyone, kept me awake at night and every time I tried to work, his anger overwhelmed me to the point my head threatened to explode.

"This is all your fault," he snarled at me. "I told you not to reject her but did you listen?"

"Flint, you know my reasons," I said to my wolf but his anger did not subside. The murderous intent spilling from him made me swallow.

"Your reasons were stupid from the start and I told you!" He hissed. "The goddess gave us a mate and you, a mere human, had the nerve to reject her?" He shouted. "You're nobody! I am the power, your strength, the Alpha, but because of you, I have been condemned to a life without my mate!"

I winced as I felt a familiar headache building up. The anger in his voice, the murder oozing from him, they made my head pound harder than my heart.

I'd tell him that we may get a mate in the future but his reply was always the same. He didn't want anyone else. If I thought of mating with another woman, he vowed to kill her. I should have known that when Flint held on to a flimsy thread of the mate bond with Sia, that he was serious about keeping her but I didn't see any reason to be with an omega.

I remembered, as vivid as though it happened today, how my father insulted my mother for being a Beta after Felicity's birth. Perhaps it was the reason I was so protective of my sister as our father never saw her as much. Father didn't hate her but because of her, his relationship with mother hit the rocks. At every opportunity, he reminded our mother that she gave him a beta as a daughter when he wanted an alpha.

If my father did that to my mother who was a beta, how would he react if he found out my mate was an omega?

The idea was ingrained in me since I understood the hierarchy of wolves. If she wasn't an Alpha, she had no place by my side. I had to choose a strong woman to mate with as having Alpha pups were a necessity. It was the reason why, despite how much I longed for Sia's sweet curves, ver indulged myself. She was an omega and I was an Alpha. She was nobody while I was the most important person in Silver Moon. Our worlds should never mix even for a few minutes of sex.

"I rejected her. It's not as if she was stolen from me," I said to Felicity after a long silence. "And it has nothing to do with you."

Even if it felt like I was robbed of my soulmate, I had to remind myself that it was all my fault. It wasn't my father's or my pack's fault. I took all the blame for rejecting Sia because I wasn't a child when I rejected her. I wasn't drunk, wasn't asleep.

"But you want her back," Felicity challenged.

"I can't have her back," I reminded her.

"You don't know until you try." Even Flint perked up at Felicity's brazen tone. She looked me in the eye and I saw determination shine in them. "Felicity -" I called her name and then I paused from a lack of what to say. "What are you planning?"

"As I said, I promised to help you get back your mate. I don't want to get your hopes up but I want you to know that I'm going to try to help you get back with Sia."

"No," I shook my head. "Whatever you're planning, I don't want to hear it. I forbid it," I warned but she looked determined.

"I already received permission to stay in Alpha Blood pack for a few months," she boasted. "My plan is already in motion so you can't change it." She received permission!?

"Don't be stupid," I snarled without© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

meaning to. If she received

permission then there was no doubt that Cahir was up to something

could be thinking of luring in my he

baby sister to harm her as revenge or to use her against me. “Sihana already belongs to another man so stop with this nonsense."

"I won't stop. She belongs to you. She belongs to Silver Moon pack!" Her eyes blazed as she jumped out of her seat. "Look at you!" She waved a hand in my direction. "You're a mess because of her and you want me to sit back and do nothing?"

"That's the thing. You can't do anything to sever a mate bond! She's mated already so leave her be!"

"What if she isn't happy?" The question made me pause.

I - I hadn't considered her happiness in all of this. What if she wasn't happy? What if - What if she wanted to return but - No way. Why would she not be happy as the most powerful Luna in the world!?

"Why wouldn't she be happy?" I demanded from my little sister. "And even if she isn't happy, what the fuck are you going to do about it?"

“Hello, do you even know anything about Cahir Armani?" She made it sound as if she could possibly know that bastard better than me. "He's a wicked man. No woman can ever be happy with that kind of man. You can't know anything about her when we're so far away. If I'm there, I'll be able to keep an eye on things. You're the Alpha so you can't leave the pack so I must do this. I will help you get your girl."

“Shut the hell up and go to your room!" I barked.

"I am not a kid anymore so don't even try to order me around." She crossed her arms. "You don't even know what it cost me to get the

know you're dying to know how she is so I'll be sure to keep you

updated."

"What – What is your plan?" Her idea excited Flint and despite my better judgement, I found myself having a glimmer of hope.

"First, I'll befriend her and if there's any chance she is unhappy with her mate, I will try to separate them. If that doesn't work, then I'm sure I can find someone there that is powerful and doesn't want Cahir to enjoy having a mate."

"That - That's not even a plan!" I shouted in alarm.

Did this brat not see that she was risking her life for lofty ideas?

"It's not a concrete plan but it's workable and it's more than you can do. Besides, I'm not losing anything. I also plan to mate with Aristo so I'm not running any loss."

"You're a child," I was appalled but she flipped her hair.

"I am eighteen." With that, she stormed out of my office. I wanted to use the Alpha's command to keep her in the pack but Flint resisted.

'...I am your power, your strength.' I guess he wanted to prove a point.

"Let her go. Even if she fails, at least we will always know what is going on with our mate."

No, not our mate. Another man's mate which I could not let go of.

Our parents pleaded with Felicity but she already made up her mind so there was no stopping her. She left to steal another man's mate for me and I could not contain the shame I felt from how useless I was in the fight to win back Sihana.
