Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

144 - ABrother's Love

"Are we going to be under Alpha Stone now?"

"I believe you have a rightful Alpha who will take over your pack," I answered as I walked toward them.

"Alpha Fabian is dead, and so is his Beta.We don’t know where Gamma Dalton is or if he’s still alive."

"Gamma Dalton is alive."

"Thank Goddess!"

The crowd gasps, mostly out of relief.

"Will he be our Alpha since Alpha Stone doesn’t like or want us?" Someone behind her asked.

"First, don’t say Alpha Stone doesn’t want you.He will not come here and help you if he doesn’t care about you.Alpha Blade..."

I was not able to finish my words when an older female cut me off.

"Alpha Blade doesn’t care about us..."

"He’s here...It means he cares about you."

Silence.

"He’s too late.Alpha Fabian is dead."

"If he didn’t abandon us, our pack wouldn’t die out.Others won’t leave, and we could still be astrong pack"

"He can’t just come back and be our Alpha when we don’t want him anymore."

Oh, this is bad.

Adan was right — his pack hadn’t forgiven Blade yet.

"But we don’t have a choice, right? It’s like being conquered again by an Alpha we don’t want."

I should have shut my mouth and not talked about Blade until he appeared here.

Now they wouldn't stop airing their grievances against him.I raised my hand, and when the voices died down, I tried my best to explain.

"I’m sure there is a venue for this discussion.But for now, rest your heart and your mind, you are all safe.Why don’t you all go back to your homes and get some sleep? By daytime, I’m sure Alpha Stone or Alpha Blade will request your presence for a meeting or a dialogue."

"Will you be here by the morning, Luna Lucy? It has been a long time since we had a Luna, and if Alpha Stone takes us, even if we are scared of him, I’m sure having you around will make a difference in how we see him." I swallowed hard, lost for words.

Who would have thought the hard -headed and reckless Omega would be treated with respect like this when they were not even females from my pack?

"Thank you.That's very nice of you, but I am not the rightful Luna of this pack.I’m sure one day you will also have one.And as much as I want to be here by the daytime, I cannot guarantee that.I am also a mother, and my son is waiting home for me."

"We understand, Luna.But we hope you can be our Luna too.We heard good things about you, even if they say you have demon blood on you.Maybe they missed the part about you having angel blood as well."

I chuckled softly and smiled at them.

"I thanked them for their presence and for holding their families together during the 48 hours that they were conquered before we all said our goodbyes to each other.After the females of the pack left to return to their homes, I got confirmation from Collin that our men were already guarding all borders.He had also called Kingston for more reinforcements, while Fabian’s remaining warriors were sent to the infirmary first to assess the extent of their injuries.I was glad Collin was taking charge, but I couldn’t help but worry for Adan.I was contemplating reaching out to him when a loud growl erupted in the air, and I felt all my hair sticking out.
