"They are my children, can you please revoke the alpha order?" she stated in a harsh but controlled tone. However, even I could tell that she was still utterly terrified and it made me even gladder that I was Adrian's mate so his anger wasn't directed at me."No" was all Adrian stated flatly, my own features twisting into a cringe when I took note of how suddenly hostile the elder woman looked."How dare you! They are my children and you are causing them pain" she spoke tightly, Adrian's only response a shrug after I had relaxed him from his tense posture by running my hand up and down his thigh soothingly."The answer is still no!" he snapped out as a reply, my hand tightening briefly on his thigh causing the tremors which had shot through his body to calm. I found I loved having such an effect on his emotions."Why?" she shouted; finally losing it.I could understand where she was coming from of course, her children weren't happy so neither was she. I doubted she realized how lenient he had been on the pair though; especially when I had felt how much anger and fury had been directed towards them."I would watch your tone when speaking to me, I am still your alpha!" he growled, his tone tight making her flinch much to my discomfort."And yet you are punishing my children for nothing!" she growled, my form shrinking back into the couch. I had grown up being shouted and screamed at constantly, but after living in such a peaceful packhouse for so long I couldn't help but want to shy away from it. It brought back memories I had been trying desperately to shove back into the back of my mind. Obviously sensing my distress, Adrian's  eyes snapping towards my shunning form I couldn't help but be stunned by the sudden fury displayed there. His pupils blending into his wolfs as he let them lose a growl that caused everyone in the packhouse, except me, to flinch heavily at the deep and threatening sound of it.Snapping his head in Rebecca's direction his eyes narrowed, fear practically suffocating the room as Adrian was hurriedly on his feet as he grabbed her by her upper arm. I could thankfully tell that while his grip was firm he wasn't hurting her; not yet anyway."How dare you come into my packhouse, interrupt my day and then insult my judgment. If you must know your children are insolent, foulmouthed and ill—mannered. You should be relieved that I have only prevented them from phasing, as it is in my right to a hell of a lot more for that girl of yours making my mate uncomfortable and your son for daring to even flirt with her!" Adrian pretty much roared at her, my feet carrying me after them but I kept my distance."But…I…""There are no buts, another alpha would have most likely banished them or at least given them a physical punishment. I had been lenient on them; do I need to change my judgment call?" he snapped at her, his hand reaching for the front door as he opened it and pretty much dragged the woman outside.I think it was at that moment that Rebecca realized just how soft he had been on her children, how even though he was considered a ruthless alpha he was also more than a little fair. I think that was what made her pale, as well as his harsh words and attitude of course."Well…do I?""No, no I'm sorry" she whispered out, Adrian releasing her roughly as he did so.I watched along with my mate as I let my gaze follow the older woman as she dashed back to her car, her cheeks wet with her tears and I knew it wouldn't be long until her mate came after her.Watching her go I couldn't help but feel bad for her, my arms moving to wrap around my form as her car pulled rapidly out of the drive. I didn't know why but I felt my heart clench at the whole experience, how she had acted as a mother should by trying to protect her children. Hell my own mother was nothing of the sort, she had even stabbed me once in the thigh with a knife when I was still a toddler since apparently I wouldn't stop crying. It wasn't hard to be surprised that I was in tears in the first place; not when I had to grow up in a place like that."You alright, sweetheart?" a nervous and concerned Adrian enquired, effectively snapping me out of my thoughts causing m to sigh."Yea" I breathed out, shuffling a few steps closer to him as I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my nose in his chest. I instantly felt myself relax; breathing in deeply as I let my wolf be purred by the scent of our mate.This is where we belong, I told my wolf. This was where we would be kept safe, be loved and I wanted to be nowhere else but right here, right now. He was my everything.

Chapter 76—01

Adrian's Pov

I have never been gladder that I had gotten rid of the woman. I knew where she was coming from of course, her children clearly complaining a lot to her, but she had to trust that as their alpha I knew what was best for them. I mean what would happen if they acted like that to the mate of another alpha? They would most likely end up dead or beaten and ripped half to death.Shaking my head I wrapped my arms around my mate, the both of us staring out at the green—covered fields in front of us as we simply enjoyed each other's presence and company.As soon as the woman had gone Holly had dashed eagerly upstairs, grabbing her boots and coat before waiting impatiently by the front door for me. I couldn't help but grin when I saw her, how adorably cute she looked as she waited for me to get ready before we took a long walk hand in hand through the woods.As the both of us took a seat on the floor beneath us, Holly sitting between my legs as her back rested against my chest I took the time to think over what Ryan had proposed to me a while ago, about taking over a new pack for a while. I had a meeting with another alpha in a few days, a simple formality as the alpha wanted some experience which I was more than willing to give it for an alliance between us, but I couldn't help but think about whether the right time to decide would be after that.I didn't want any more stress to be on Holly but I also knew that she didn't like to be coddled too much. Don't get me wrong, she liked to feel loved and protected as she should, but I knew she didn't want to be treated like a child. Even if I wanted nothing more than to wrap her up nice and warm and never let her out of my sight.  If I did help out this pack it would be the first time I had done something like this on such a large scale, I mean the alpha would have to give me full power over his pack which was a very risky move on his part. While I had no interest in staying in control when I got it sorted out, that didn't mean that another alpha would have had the same view on the matter.I liked my pack; my pack in my eyes was perfect. Of course we had our faults, but I also had a mate by my side as well as a very loyal beta and sub—beta so I liked where I was. They didn't seem to have an issues with me which I was thankful of, I mean I wasn't power hungry like some alphas meaning that the territory which I had already claimed was more than enough for my pack. Anymore and I would have to step up training and guarding and to be honest it just wasn't worth the effort or the increased risk that it would end up bringing down on us.Leaning my chin on the top of Holly's head I continued to think about it. If I agreed I would have to move me and some of the pack into their territory while I left Paul in charge here, which as far as I was concerned wasn't a problem. It would only be a few weeks for me to get it back on track, give them some tips and advice and then force them to follow it if they were being difficult. I mean these wolves weren't my friends, not by a long shot so I would be there strictly as an alpha and nothing more.The only other option was to say no to them, but while I wouldn't mind letting them sort out their own mess there would be children in that pack and I simply wasn't that heartless. I may have been before I met Holly, but now all I could think about was how horrid her pack had been and me not wanting anyone, especially young and innocent children to have to suffer through that.I knew as soon as that thought crossed my mind I didn't have a choice in the matter; I would help them as efficiently as possible before returning to my own pack with my mate. Because she would be coming with me, there was no doubt about that."Beautiful isn't it?" I whispered in her ear, smiling as she shuddered against me slightly."Yea" she breathed, both of us taking in the sight of the forest as wildlife ran around the both of us as they went on with their day. I knew she would like it here; it was the perfect spot to take her. "I love it.""I thought you loved me" I teased, pinching her slides lightly causing her to squeak out in surprise before turning around on her knees so she could face me."You know I do, perhaps too much" she smiled, it lighting up her features as she did so. It was a look I knew I would never get tired of seeing; she was just too perfect."Now I don't think that's possible, the more the better" I told her honestly, pulling her against me as she wrapped her legs around my waist as she sat her perk little behind on my lap. I grinned.
