Stephen’s POV
.
“I believe everyone already knows the reason why we are here!!” Eva started speaking on which all the pack members started screaming.
‘We want you as Alpha, Not Aleena.’
‘She is not kind and warm like you.’
‘She cannot be a good Alpha.’
“Silence!!” Eva yelled, using her Alpha tone, making everyone stop screaming. “I know you’re trusting me as your leader but trust me, as a leader, I know whom I’m supporting.”, She said, on which a lot of pack members gave a disapproving look.
Immediately my nose hit with her fragrance mixed with blood.
No. She wasn’t injured.
It was someone’s else blood.
“So, please welcome your new Alpha.”, She said, and immediately Leia’s figure came into the picture; her paws and fur were covered with someone’s blood, and she was coming toward us.
Great. Just great.
Now, everyone would be more scared of her than they were already. She shifted into human form and smiled at everyone. That was a completely different story that no one returned her a smile.
“Hello, Everyone! I know most of you don’t want me as your Alpha, but not everyone gets a chance to get exactly the same thing which they wanted.”, She said with a smile.
A dangerous smile, which was the signal of silence before the storm.
“Well, we will get what we want.”, Someone from the crowd shouted. I looked for the owner of that voice and saw the Gamma of the pack. “We don’t want either of you two as new Alpha. This pack does need a new alpha, but that will be a strong male instead of any female Alpha.”
“Really? And who are the people who think in this way because I can see only you as WE.”, She mocked him, and one by one, more than a hundred and fifty people joined behind him.
Shit!
This was not good!
‘Wade, John! Send all the guards to the Silver Moon Pack, QUICKLY.’ I mind link them.
‘Noted, Beta.’
I wondered whom Lina killed when there were already so many rivals against him.
Seemed like always I had to save her from getting her ass kicked.
“Anyone else who wants to join them can happily join them,” Lina announced. “And those who were loyal to dad and trusted his blood can step away from here.”
Soon the crowd of thousands of people started getting divided into two pieces. More than eight hundred people stood in favor of staying loyal to Alpha Williams, while more than a hundred were against.
Those bastards.
They were biting the hand that fed them.
“Noah! Kill each and every one of them. No one should stay alive.”, She ordered using her Alpha tone.
“Won’t you battle with us and prove to others that you’re worthy of the Alpha position.”, That Gamma taunted.
“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. They will get to know about my capability on their own.”, She growled.
I stepped ahead to help Noah and her warriors because they were less compared to the number of people against her, but Aleena held my hand. Well, not just me; even Daniel, dad, and uncle did the same.
“Let me help them, Lina!”
“You guys don’t have to ruin your clothes. Trust me; everything is in my hand. Just wait and watch.”, She said confidently. I was about to open my mouth so that she could come out of her overconfident dream, but then my eyes landed on the group of more than a hundred people. Those who were standing at the back in the row were attacking and killing their own people who were against Aleena.
What the hell?
Were they also Aleena’s men?
So, in reality, there were not even an exact hundred people against her?
“You bitch! You already manipulated the warrior of Fire Cross Pack.”, Gamma growled before shifting into the wolves and attacking Aleena. I was about to shift to protect my mate, but my mate was quick to pull out her dagger from her waist and throw it right in the direction of his heart.
And BINGO!
It stabbed right into his heart.
His wolf whimpered in pain and then shifted back to his human form.
“I didn’t manipulate the warrior of Fire Cross Pack.”, Aleena said, clearing his accusation in his last breath.
Exactly! No one could manipulate so many warriors of any pack because wolves were too loyal to their Alpha. Please note that the exception is always there. But if they were really the warriors of the Fire Cross pack, then why were they favoring Lina? Unless, she …. No! No! No! No! She couldn’t choose to become the Luna of Alpha Liam, her fated mate, and Luna of the Fire Cross Pack.
And then she could merge both Silver Moon Pack and Fire Cross Pack as one.
She wouldn’t get a thing if she chose me as her mate.
‘Now, who’s the one overthinking here?’ Thunder asked. ‘We shouldn’t let Daniel’s words get in our mind, okay?’
‘Yes. You’re right. Thanks for reminding me.’, Saying this, I grabbed my mate’s hand tightly. She turned her head toward me and smiled.
“You didn’t hear what I just said to him, did you?”, She asked, on which I looked at the Gamma, who was already dead, and everyone was looking at my mate in Aww, shock and surprised look.
Okay! What did I miss?
“I… I…” I didn’t say anything because lying about this fact was useless. I looked at Daniel, who was giving an expression as if someone had given him the shock of 440 voltage.
“So, ladies and gentlemen!! My sister, Evangeline, has already announced that I will be the new Alpha, but she didn’t mention anything about my mate being my Co-Alpha of both the packs.”
‘Both packs?’
“Along with me, my mate, my husband, Stephen Sam Grint, will also be the Alpha of both the Silver Moon Pack and Fire Cross Pack.”, She said, widening my eyes. “And soon, the Alpha Ceremony will be held, and on the same day, both the packs will be merged officially.”
“Hail to Alpha Aleena! Hail to Alpha Stephen!’, The crowd in human form yelled, while the crowd in wolf form howled happily.
‘What did you do?’ I mind linked her, smiling at the crowd.
‘Simple. I cut the tree, which was the root cause of the problem.’, My head snapped in her direction in shock. I wouldn’t have been surprised if my neck would have broken with the force with which I looked at her. ‘If I would have killed one by one to everyone, then Liam would have kept sending his puppet in my life all the time. That’s why I killed him and became the Alpha of the wolves whom Liam could have used to kill me.”
‘You did that?’
‘Those are the werewolves of Fire Cross Pack.’, She said, pointing toward the wolves at the end. ‘They are not bowing their head in front of me because I have fed them money. They are doing this because I killed their leader brutally in front of everyone by challenging him.’, She said proudly. ‘That’s a different story that I had to kill a few of the warriors to reach near him.’
‘You’re amazing, Lina. I don’t have words to say how proud I am.’ I truly admitted my mistake of doubting her strength even for a while. And I was also feeling guilty for thinking something that stupid, ‘Seemed like always I had to save her from getting her ass kicked.’ She didn’t need anyone as her savior all the time.
‘It’s father’s day today. Do you think dad will be proud of me?’
‘Is that even a question?’ I asked, pulling her close to me and kissing her hair. ‘He would have done Zumba if he wouldn’t be here.’
All of a sudden, dad caressed Lina’s hair, making both of us look at him, “You made everyone proud, dear.”
“Thank you, Mr. G…”
“I’m Stephen’s dad. In that way, I don’t think I will be Mr. Grint for you.’, Dad said, cutting her in between.
In no time, our mate left our side and hugged dad. We missed her warmth but never mind if dad could share his mate with me and I could do that same, couldn’t I?’
But our happy moment didn’t last long when Lina broke the hug and yelled loudly.
“VAMPIRES!! Kids, Pregnant ladies, and old people. In the Bunker, NOW.”
And there went our happy moment!
