The Wolf In Me

Luka's POV

Turning my eyes at alpha Dale, I observed his tense expression.

"The thing is Marcus that you have not considered asking how this happened and decided to blame someone else's pack. You know we must all observe the rules and if they are broken, consequences follow."

Looking at the watch I thought I should give him another few hours to think about it before I make my decision.

"Getting out or staying here is your decision alpha. You will not be of good use from here to the pack. Without their leader, the pack will be lost forever and their survival in the wild would be limited," I reminded, motioning for Mason and alpha Dale to follow me back outside the dungeon.

"No, wait, wait!" He screamed as we were about to head out.

Forming a grin, I turned back around and returned to his cell.

"We can come into an agreement. Look, the pack will not survive without me and I cannot live without a pack. I am ready to find out how this has all started and we go from there. If my pack was the culprit of the situation, I will take action. If it was from your side Alpha Dale, you have to give me those responsible for the killing. How about that? Huh?"

Looking at each other, I waited for alpha Dale to give him his prefered answer. I knew his heart and I trusted he will make the right decision. Choosing wrongly will affect both my and his child's relationship and mating bond, so there was only one answer.

"Alpha Marcus, I agree with your terms as long as we will all sit in one room and listen to what everyone has to say. A court would do I believe, right alpha king?" Dale said, turning in my direction.

With a nod, I asked the guard to open the lock of alpha Marcus's cell and so we made our way out altogether.

"One thing before you make your way back. Should you decide not to cooperate I can still come for you and bring you back in there," I said firmly, gazing into his eyes.

"Yes, Alpha King. I will bow to you and your decision. This is a fair way to correct the mistake done by our packs," he said before making his way into one of my guard's car to take him back to his packhouse.

To keep it short she was not happy to have him as her mate and so she did her best to show him exactly how she felt by cheating with other wolves both from her pack and ours. Some were free-willed participants and knew exactly the circumstance, but some were innocently falling for her. Noah used to come to me to pour out his feelings until last week I found him dead in his bedroom. When I got closer to him I noticed bruises around his beck and so it seems like
