Page 89 of Fight between Alphas

"You chose her over me, you stopped me from"-

"What was I supposed to let you hurt my sister?"

" You know that's not possible Lana, she is immortal but at least if I challenged her my pack wouldn't think me weak, you chose her, chose family over the bond"

You're a hypocrite, you did the same thing Drake, you chose your father"

" Yes but at least I was going to choose you, you never even hesitated when it came to her. You just upped and left and accepted my rejection like it meant nothing to you and after Avalon City I now know it never did" He says before walking upstairs leaving me in the kitchen. Everything has turned to shit, nothing turning out the way it should, though I never expected any of this I thought maybe we could at least put it past us.

Walking upstairs I head to the spare room and flop on the bed and go to sleep.

Waking up the next morning both of them were gone, I didn’t even hear them leave and neither bothered to let me know but one thing was clear, they both despised me.

Drake POV

I left early in the morning, Tate tried to convince me to stay but I told him I had pack business to handle. Walking into the Pack house I find Chase and Marcus waiting for me in the office.

“Did she break the bond?” Chase asks and I shake my head. He lets out a breath of relief before sitting down on the lounge across from my desk.

“So what now?” My brother Marcus asks.

“I want you to hold a Pack meeting”

“What for?” Chase asked and I knew he wasn’t going to like what I say next, but it had to be done. I never wanted it to come to this but it is obvious after Arial challenged dad that I wouldn’t be able to keep the title.

“I’m standing down as Alpha?” I tell them. Marcus jumps up outraged.

“Is this because of Kailyn and the others? you can’t stand down who is going to take over”

“Chase is” I tell them. Chase starts shaking his head.

“This is your Pack Chase, not mine”

“It became yours when your mate decided to kill dad” I tell him. I walk to the door before stopping.

“Call the meeting I want everyone here in twenty minutes” I tell them before walking to my room.

I don’t bother packing there isn’t much point with what I plan to do, instead I message Tate. Letting him know I am leaving. My phone instantly starts ringing but I switch it off before walking to the hall out back. I sat on the podium watching as the room began to fill with every pack member, I could tell they had no idea what was going on and the whispers amongst them also didn’t go unheard. When everyone was seated I motioned for Chase to get up on stage. He hesitates before walking on stage.

The chatter amongst the crowd dying down.

“Some of you seem to have a problem with me being Alpha because of Arial Chases mate” A few nod but they remain quiet.

“I called you here to tell you I am stepping down from the position, Chase stepped forward” A few gasps could be heard but Chase stepped forward, everyone falling silent.

“You don’t need to do this,” He whispers.

“I have already decided Chase this is how it needs to be” I tell him before slicing his hand and my own. People talking in hushed whispers as they watch what is going on.

“I Alpha Drake Verlix of the red river Pack forfeit my title and hand it down to Chase Verlix your new Alpha of the Red River Pack and hereby declare myself rogue” Chases head snaps toward me looking at me horrified relising I wasn’t moving to Tate’s Pack but becoming rogue.

“What are you doing?” He says pulling his hand away before we could seal it. I grip his arm reefing him forward and grabbing his hand.

“What needs to be done” I tell him, our blood mingling and I feel my tether to my pack dissolve, my title going with it as I am filled with nothing but silence, no Pack thoughts, the only thoughts in my head are mine and that of Titus who howled loudly before going silent. He agreed, we couldn’t keep doing this, without a title we were no better than rogue so with that we shifted and I left. My clothes shredded before we took off only stopping at the border. Titus stops looking back, his voice sad.

“Where not coming back are we?”

“No Titus, we don’t deserve them” I tell him and he nods his head before we take off, not looking back.
