Page 20 of Fight between Alphas

Now I have a bigger problem, he expects me to mark her. My father is old fashioned and believes women are to be seen not heard. That they should be obedient and do as they are told. Lana though, I know wouldn’t allow that sort of treatment nor did I expect her to accept that treatment. My mother killed herself because she couldn’t handle my father’s harsh ways. If it wasn't for a witch’s help, it would have killed him. She severed the remnants of the bond so he could live. My father said my mother was weak, but in reality, he was because the one person who he should have adored and cherished, he destroyed. All because he didn’t believe she was his equal and she refused to give him any more kids.

I was shocked when he was granted a second chance mate, how the Moon Goddess could be so cruel as to subject another woman to the same treatment that my mother suffered through for years. Yet she has remained by his side and gave him three more sons. Though none have lived up to his expectations either, he always says they are too weak to run the pack, though any of them would be great at it, they had alpha blood after all. My mother was an Alpha, though my brother's mother Clarice was an omega, so he thinks that makes them weak. One day I can see them snapping, sometimes I pray for it. My father is right though, I owed him, if it weren’t for me, we never would have become rogue.

Maybe Tate is right, maybe my father is no better than his father, though at least mine didn’t kill his mate with his bare hands and turn into a psychotic monster like Tate’s.

“Why don’t you just leave, live with Tate and be happy” Chase asks, as he pulls up to the first gate. The guards open it recognising his car. Chase is the only one of my brothers that have been on Tate’s territory, Chase even helps me sneak over here.

“Because it wouldn’t work, how are two Alpha’s going to run a Pack?”

“Tate would figure it out, he loves you. I don’t understand how you can throw that away for our father. I can’t wait to find my mate as soon as I do, I am out of here” He tells me.

“That’s because you can, you don’t have the weight of the pack on your shoulders”

“Hey, I will gladly take over the pack, but he won’t let me and quite frankly I couldn’t be fucked putting up with him till he croaks”

“So, what would you do, if you find out your mate is an omega, step down to another Alpha?” I ask curious.

“Yep, easy choice for me, I will choose the moon goddess over being Alpha any day. We are paired for a reason Drake, maybe it is time you realise that” He says, as we finally pull into Tate’s driveway.

Tate was standing out the front when we pulled up, Lana nowhere to be seen.

“That was quick” He states as I hop out of the car.

“Chase” He gives my brother a quick nod as he walks over patting Tate on the back.

“So where is this Luna?” He asks, looking around for our mate.

“Inside unpacking, I think”

“You think?” I ask. Tate nods.

“She hasn’t come out of the room and I have been too busy to go up and check on her” He tells me, and I nod walking inside to go search for Lana.

Chapter12

Lana’s POV

I just got out of the shower and was halfway through getting changed when the bedroom door opened. Drake walked in, a strange look on his face before noticing me.

“Shit sorry” He says shutting the door. I quickly get dressed, confused as to why he was back already. My clothes are sticking to me from not being able to dry myself properly, nothing worse than squeezing into tights while wet.

“You can come in, I am decent” I call out to him and he opens the door sticking his head in before opening it wider.

“Sorry, I didn’t realise you were about to get dressed, Tate said you haven’t come out of the room. Are you hiding in here?”

I shake my head and point to my suitcase. “No, just unpacking,” I tell him standing there awkwardly. Why does this have to be so weird? I ask myself. Drake sits on the end of the bed before laying down.

“I thought you had to speak to your father?”

His eyes snap to mine a worried look on his face. He runs his hand down his face before sitting up and bracing his elbows on his knees. Tate walks in, looking at Drake.

“So, what happened?” He asks Drake.

“It doesn’t matter. Can I stay here for the night?” He asks, looking at Tate.

“You don’t have to ask Drake, you know this” He says.

“What did your father say?” I ask, intrigued as to why he didn’t want to go home.
