The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

The back door opened, and I heard little feet running towards me. They stopped when the saw the sleeping boy in my arms. “Granpa, who dat?”

I looked down at my grandchildren and saw my sons and their mates following behind them. “This tired little boy is Phillip, he’s your new cousin,” I said to Austin, a brown-haired four-year-old. His cousin and partner-in-crime, five-year-old Sandy was a beautiful girl with curly blonde hair.

“Okay.” He took Sandy’s hand and they went into the play room to watch cartoons until breakfast. They would eat in another room under the supervision of the Omegas who ran the nursery and preschool.

“Let’s take this into my office. Denise, you too.” She looked up from where she was talking to her mother, who had just come down the stairs.

“I’ll bring coffee in for everyone, sir,” Sally said as Dallas picked up my cup for me. My office was on the main floor under my bedroom; my mate’s office as adjoining, there was a conference room on the other side of my office, and the Beta and Gamma had offices here too.

Dallas sat in a chair and pulled Vivian into his lap, they were Austin’s parents and the Beta heirs. Dusty took the chair by the window with his pregnant mate Kimberly. He was the Alpha heir; they had Sandy at home with them and their older daughter Opal was in college in Waco. Patty took Phillip from my arms and laid down with him on the couch. “I got a call from Randall last night, and you know Bobby and Tania arrived last night as well. We have a lot of good news. Bobby has brought his mate home, and is working on getting her to accept it. Randall mated last night.”

There were smiles all around, matings were always celebrated. Dusty was the only one holding back. “His mate is Talia Stillwater? The Alpha Killer?”

“Yes, and the new Alpha of the Copper Mountain Pack near Denver. Talia defeated Alpha Justin Heranus, the man who raped Talia and took her son Phillip from her, in the challenge circle.”

“Holy shit,” Dallas said.

“Yeah. The Council won’t like this, they want Talia dead,” Dusty said. “They aren’t going there, are they?”

I shook my head no. “Alpha Todd, the one who abducted Tania, fled his Pack before he was arrested. Talia and Randall are after him, plus the humans that held and abused Tania during her slavery. It’s a blood oath, it’s more important than the Pack.” They all understood that, and now that Tania was family, they wanted vengeance as well. “She won the Pack fair and square. I don’t want the Council handing it over to someone else. Randall and Talia may want it when her vow is over; Pack Alpha openings don’t come along often.”

“You want us to foster Alpha it?”

I laughed. “Pretty much.”

“I’m a little hesitant bringing my mate into a situation like this, Dad,” Dusty said. “Do we know what to expect?”

“The Alpha and Beta are dirty, and Talia executed two more warriors they brought to attack the La Crosse Pack when she took over. The survivors are returning, but part of the job is to find out which wolves were involved, and which are innocent.”

“How long?”

“I don’t know. It might be a few weeks, it could be permanent.”

“Then I’m out,” Dusty said. “I don’t want to take an Alpha spot in another Pack when I’m the heir to our Pack. Dallas and Vivian may never get another chance to be Alphas, and they are strong enough to do it.” Kimberly squeezed his hand and nodded. “It’s a great opportunity for them if they want it.”

Dallas looked at his mate, they were clearly linking, then he turned back and smiled. “Mountains? Ski resort? Heck yeah, we want it.” He hugged his mate, both of them beaming at the prospect of being Alphas. “Wait, who is our Beta going to be if Dusty isn’t going?”

“Terry Baldwin would be good,” Dusty said. Terry was the oldest son of our Pack Beta, Bear Baldwin, and was unmated. The extra Alpha sons had blocked his path to advancement here.

“Agreed. He needs the experience, and he gets a chance to look for his mate. Denise, how would you like to be Beta Female?”

She looked up at me, shocked. “Me?”

“Why not? You’re not doing anything else, and you’re strong enough for the position. You’ll get a chance to look for your mate as well.”

She looked over at Dallas and Vivian, who were both encouraging her to agree. “Why not? Vivian will need help keeping Dallas from getting a big head,” she said.

“Dallas, go talk to Terry. I want you guys on a plane to Denver this morning. Take charge of the Pack and start cleaning house.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Denise, you and Vivian need to pack what you’ll need for two weeks and take a car with you. We can send more if you need it.”

“Yes Dad.”

“Vivian, if you want to leave Austin with us until you’re sure it’s safe, we can take care of him,” Kimberly said. “We can always bring him up to you later.”

“I think that would be best, love. Just until we know what we have,” Dallas said. “In fact, I don’t want you two leaving for Colorado until Terry and I have a better idea of how the Pack is. Dad, I’d like to take a few others with, trusted warriors to watch our backs.”

“Pick two and take them.” I looked at my watch, it was time for breakfast. “Let’s eat, there’s a lot going on today.”

They got up and left, and Phillip yawned and looked at me from the couch. “Morning, Phillip,” I said.

“Hi Grandpa,” he said. “Bacon?”

Oh yeah, this kid would fit right in. I held my hand out. “Come on, let’s get you some food and introduce you to the other kids,” I said. Patty and I walked him out, settling him with the nannies, then we joined our Pack at breakfast.

Bobby and Tania didn’t come down, and he didn’t respond to my link so he was still asleep. I told Sally to have breakfast set aside for them. They were in the same bed and he was human now, so things were progressing nicely.

After breakfast, I walked into the lounge room and looked up on the projection TV we had set up, couches all around. “What’s this?”

“A buddy in the La Crosse Pack sent it to me,” one of my warriors said. “This was last night.” The video started with a man I recognized as Alpha Heranus being dragged up a road by two warriors. The room was filling with Pack members as the word spread and was packed by the time the fight started. No one said anything, we were all staring at the screen with our mouths open. It was brutal, dominant and effective.

“Shit, Randall is tapping THAT?” One of the warriors spoke up and was immediately silenced by my glare.

“That would be Randall’s mate and the current Alpha of the Copper Mountain Pack? I’d speak respectfully of her in the future, Thomas.” I hid a smirk as he lowered his head. “Come on, it’s time for the meeting.”

The dining room had been cleaned quickly and everyone found a seat or a place to stand. I told them everything I knew; about Tania’s kidnapping and slavery, Talia’s expulsion from her Pack, Randall and Bobby as their mates, and what it meant to our Pack. “This is the last time Tania’s ordeal will be spoken of unless she desires it. She’s human, she’s been badly abused, but she’s also family now and we will all support her. Understood?”

“Yes Alpha,” everyone replied.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“You all should know that our relations with the Werewolf Council are strained, to say the least. No Council members or their agents are allowed on Pack lands without my express permission. On the good side, the La Crosse Pack exchange wolves will start arriving tomorrow. Those of you wishing to escape the summer heat for Wisconsin next spring, get your applications in to the Luna. Questions?”

There were a few, then I dismissed them. I sent a text to Randall telling him what we were doing for Copper Mountain, then called the Chairman. “Talia Stillwater is now mated to my son, Randall Meechum. They have authorized my son Dallas and his mate Vivian to stand in as Alphas until they are able to take over themselves. Dallas is on his way there now, he will get a turnover from the Council enforcers and temporary leadership, then have them escorted off Pack grounds.”

“The Copper Mountain Pack is under Council control, Alpha Brent. You have no authority.”

“On the contrary, I saw the video of the challenge last night just like you must have. Talia is the Alpha, she already has been recognized as such by the warriors who attended the challenge, and it is the Council who has no business there. If you have any problems with this, take it up with the Alpha Killer. Now if you’ll excuse me, my new grandson wants to play catch with me.” I hung up the phone, grinning at being able to put that egotistical bastard in his place.

Even the Chairman of the Werewolf Council was scared of my daughter-in-law, and that amused me to no end.
