“Something funny?” His father asks.
“Everything about you is fucking hilarious Alpha” I mock. Drake seems startled by my sudden outburst but how dare this man think he can talk to me like that, demand respect where it wasn’t earnt, two can play at this little game of titles.
“Who do you think you are?” He asks, standing up and leaning across the table.
“Not one of your minions, your people may put up with your arrogant ways, but I bow down to nobody especially a lowly Alpha like yourself”
“Lowly Alpha?” He yells, punching the table, but I don’t even budge. Instead holding his gaze steadily. This man thinks he can intimidate me, use his Alpha aura on me? He would piss his pants where he stood if he met my family.
“Control your woman son or I will have her banished”
“Dad,” Chase says, stepping next to me. Drake just stood there shocked that I just challenged his father’s authority. I hoped this wasn’t going to cause problems with us, but I wasn’t going to be spoken to like trash.
“No, I have had enough of this, how dare you come to my pack and challenge me half breed” He screams, his face turning purple with his anger. Drake growls stepping forward at his fathers words, his father’s eyes darting to him for a second before going to me with a cruel smile on his lips.
“Mark her, now. Put her in her place son” I look at Drake horrified by what his father just demanded of him; he would seriously mark someone against their will?
“No!” Drake says, and his father sits back down, folding his arms across his chest and glaring at his son. “Either hand the Pack over or I am gone. I am sick of fighting against you at every turn” His father looks shocked at his son’s words.
“You would leave your own pack for her?” His father questioned.
“No, I would leave for my mates” He says.
“Always back to that faggot” His father growls. I step forward at his disgusting words. Pissed off that he would say such a thing, it pissed me off more than when he called me a half breed. His father smiles at my reaction before using his Alpha aura trying to get me to submit. I smile and for the first time in my life, I use mine. Stepping forward and placing my hands on the desk and leaning over, looking him dead in the eye suddenly feeling overly protective of my mates.
His fathers eyes narrow as he tries to exert his force over me when I hit him with mine, making him gasp. Sweat beads on his forehead as he fought against my silent command before I felt my eyes bleed red, giving the room a red tinge to it. Drake suddenly grabs my arm, sparks rushing over my skin and I stand upright shocked at what I did.
I always saw it as an abuse of power using your Alpha aura, if you were a good Alpha your people wouldn’t question you and you wouldn’t have to force them to do as you please. But this man irritated me and brought out an anger I never knew I kept within me.
His father takes a breath, the sweat rolling down his cheek. “Who are you?” He says frazzled.
“I am Lana Black, Aria and Reid Blacks daughter, you should know my mother because she is your Lycan Queen” I tell him and his face falls, and he pales.
“You’re Aria’s daughter?” He gasps.
“Yes, but by all means Alpha put me in my place” I challenged him. He turns as white as a sheet of paper; I didn’t think it was possible for him to pale anymore then he had already.
“You’re mated to my son?”
“Yes, and Tate”
“What is the meaning of this, you could have said who she is?” His father growls at his son.
“I shouldn’t have to because it shouldn’t matter who my mates are” His father growls but I had enough already. This man was toxic and just being around him was sucking the life out of me and making my bloodlust all the more worse with my building hatred towards him.
“Well, this has been fun, how about we reconvene at another time” Chase says, trying to diffuse the situation and his father actually looked thankful. While I wanted nothing more than to kill the bastard who treats his own flesh and blood like he is beneath him. This man calls himself an Alpha yet he leaves his Pack open to threats because he won’t stand down. There is a reason Alpha’s hand the pack down, each generation is stronger than the last, him not standing down puts his Pack at risk to other Packs where the pack has been handed down to the next Alpha.
Most Alpha’s hand the pack over as soon as the son turns 18 and help from the sidelines like my father is doing with Ryker until he is ready to take it on by himself.
“Yes, I think it’s time to leave Drake” I tell him not wanting to do something I will regret, like kill his horrid father.
We leave his stunned father sitting at his desk as we walk out. I was livid. Drake said nothing as we walked to Tate’s car. Chase following us closely behind. The air is thick with tension. As I open the door his father walks out.
“Drake” His father calls out to him, making me look in his direction.
“What?” Drake asks, turning to look at his father. Drake’s entire body trembled with anger and I wasn’t sure if he was angry at me or his father.
“I hereby banish you from Black Creek Pack indefinitely” His father declares, stripping his own son of his title, a title he was born for. I growl loudly when Drake turns to look at me.
“Get in the car” He snaps at me. I look at him, his face turned up in pain as he shivers and I know it’s because he officially became a rogue. My mother said it isn’t a pleasant feeling but not entirely painful, just unnatural.
“Get in the car Lana” He growls. Guilt floods me, this wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t challenge his father. I get in but not before sending a glare to his father. Chase stood there shocked as we pulled out before Drake sped off toward the highway going back to Tate’s Pack.
