Page 26 of Fight between Alphas

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.

Chapter16

Lana’s POV

The entire trip was spent in silence, awkward silence. The tension was so thick I could almost taste it on the tip of my tongue. Drake was driving alarmingly fast as I watched the trees zip past us in a blur, hesitantly I reached over and touched his arm. He growled menacingly at me.

“Get your fucking hands off me”

“Drake, everything will be fine” I tell him when he suddenly rips the car to the side of the road, dust and dirt spraying everywhere. “Get out” Drake spits at me.

“What?”

“I said get out” He bellowed, fur was starting to spread up his arms and the growl tearing out of him so frightening I opened the door and got out. Drake suddenly takes off leaving me on the side of the road. I watch as he leaves shocked that he just left me in unfamiliar territory. Tears threatened to spill as I looked around and saw only forest. Thick dense forest. Sniffing the air, I try to figure out which way to go before remembering I can ring Tate.

Pulling my phone from my pocket, I realise I have no cell service; I place the phone back in my pocket and decide my safest bet is to follow the road in the direction we were driving. I followed it for about ten minutes, looking for any scents. Tate’s pack had a distinguished scent that reminded me of pine needles and earth. After a few minutes I was able to pick up one of the patrol warriors scents and followed it. Cutting through the trees. Sticks scraping at my legs and tearing my jeans, my arms were covered in scrapes from the thick shrubs. I followed it until I hit the fence line and chose to follow that instead.

It didn’t take long before I came to the entrance gate. The wolves I saw the first day jumping from their posts, their guns aimed directly at me, making me realise they might not actually recognise me because I never got out of the car and I was in the back. I put my hands up.

“Stay back vampire” A man called, he had blonde hair cut short on the sides and like a wave on top dressed in black armour.

Vampire? I shake my head, but he continues to point the gun at me.

“I said stay back, this is werewolf territory” He calls to me. I try to figure out why he is calling me a vampire when it hits me when I try to speak, and my words come out slurred. My fangs were protruding, and I didn’t realise how desperately hungry I was.

“I’m Lana, Tate’s mate” I call out to him and he looks to the other men who also had their guns aimed at my chest. I see another man’s eyes glaze over and know he is mind linking. I don’t move not wanting to get shot. It wouldn’t kill me, but I had no doubt it would bloody hurt to be hit by a bullet. They suddenly lower their weapons and I hear the gates opening.
