Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Alessandro's POV

Recap: A blonde guy sitting at the end of the bench, turned to me with a disgusted expression and said

"isn't your mom that heifer claiming to be the alpha's mate, so she can come between amber and the alphab, because she wants to become the Luna of our pack?"

As soon as he uttered those words, he was pinned to the ground with my foot pressing against his trachea; When everyone at the table gasped was when I realized I acted so fast, I didn't even realize what I was doing. I sighed in exhaustion and annoyance as I ran my hand through my hair,

Here we go again, I thought to myself as I looked down at the boy beneath my feet who looks as if he's about to soil himself.

My left foot is currently on a boy's throat, and his friends are staring at me in shock and fear. I honestly don't want to be in this position, since it would make my mom look bad because she promised alpha, dumb-ass, we wouldn't hurt any of his pack members, but at the same time, he didn't hold up his end of the deal, or this shrimp wouldn't have the guts to be talking about my mom the way he just did. I sighed deciding that I'll let him off just this once, because I'm exhausted and I don't have the time for this bullshit.

"Now look here, I'm gonna take my foot off your neck and just walk away, but hear me and hear me well, if I ever hear a whisper that you or anyone else say anything disrespectful about my mom, I will kill you, if you try to attack me when I walk off, I will kill you and if you talk about my mom when am gone, I'll kill you, do you understand?" I asked emitting my power

He shook his head rapidly, showing he understood, so I stepped off him immediately and walked back to the packhouse, leaving the group of teenage kids terrified.

As soon as I stepped into the packhouse, I sensed my mom in the kitchen along with aunt Genevieve, so I headed in that direction.

"Hey momma," I said placing a kiss on her cheek

"hey aunt Gen" I waved to my aunt

"hey, Alessandro" they both replied with my mom smiling at me

"what's got you happy and smiling all of a sudden?" I questioned skeptically

"Nothing, I'm just proud of you for handling that situation without violence," she told me

"Wait, you saw that!!?" I asked surprised.

"We both did" this time it was aunt Genevieve who spoke

"and we're glad you didn't crush Mike's trachea," she said smiling sheepishly

So that's his name, I thought to myself

"Yeah, well, that's what he gets for calling mom a heifer," I told them angrily

"don't worry about anything, they say mi bambino, I could care less, remember that we're only here for the wedding, and we'll be gone soon," mom told me

"I know mom, but alpha dumbass didn't hold up his end of the bargain, so if I kill someone, he can't have any issues with it"

"now Alessandro just let them be, they're not worth our time"

"ok fine, I promise I won't harm anyone else."

"Good" she replied getting up to go to the sink

"unless it's necessary," I say finishing my sentence."

Mom stops in her tracks and turns glaring and me, and aunt Genevieve who was trying and failing miserably to hide her chuckle. Ignoring us she made her way to the sink to wash her dish out. Uncle Jermaine walked into the kitchen, and mom and aunt Genevieve started acting so weird, sharing glances and smiling at each other, then there was uncle Jermaine who kept eyeing mom, "secretly" thinking we all don’t know he's got the hots for my mom.

"Ok, you guys this weirdness is starting to creep me out. First of all, mom stops acting like a blushing teenager, every time uncle Jermaine looks at you, it's weird, aunt Genevieve quit holding in your laugh your lungs might explode, and uncle Jermaine, if you want to ask mom on a date just do it, I'm already tired of hearing mom and aunt Genevieve "whisper" about how much you guys like each other. Oh, and when you guys are gonna do the dirty, please don't do it in our room and I also don't want to walk in on you guys kissing that's gross." I say walking out of the kitchen, leaving them with their mouths wide open. Ha, bet they thought they were being discreet old people are so obvious.

I walk up the stairs to the second floor, heading for alpha dumbass' office. When I reached the big wooden doors, I knock twice and wait until I heard someone come in before I open the doors and walked in. I see the third in command Jeffrey or Jason whatever his name is sitting in front of the desk, both of them staring at me.

"What can I help you with? Alessandro, I sure hope there aren't any problems with you and my pack members. I heard about you and Mike, and I appreciate you not harming him, I also would like to apologize for his behavior" he said looking at me.

"I don't need your appreciation I didn't do it for you, I did it because my mom would be upset, and by the way next time, I won't hesitate because you haven't been holding up your end of the deal, and I'm not the one you should be apologizing to, it's my mom, but I didn't come here to talk about that," I say my words lacing with venom.

His gamma stood up immediately, puffing out his chest and staring me down, trying to intimidate me. I return his gaze as we both stare each other down intensely, my wolf and I refuse to back down seeing as we have alpha blood.

"Who do you think you are pup speaking to the alpha with such disrespect, you are not even a member of our pack, he could throw you out at any second" he shouts at me using his gamma tone.

My wolf didn't like that, he was trying to make us submit because alphas submit to no one. I growl loudly and said, " I am Alessandro Rafael Parker (and I'm not sure if I already gave him a middle name but that's the one am going with) son of Rosalyn Reagan Parker, and unfortunately alpha dip shit over here, and I don't give a damn if he's an alpha or not, he's not my alpha, so he isn't entitled to my respect and respect is earned not given."

I see him flinch because of my alpha tone and I smirk as he holds his head down in submission, but I could still see the anger in his eyes.

"ENOUGH!" alpha dumbass roared

"James, you may leave to continue with your duties now."

"Yes alpha" the gamma replied then left.

"Alessandro, what did you come here to talk about?" He asked frustrated.

"You have a developing rogue problem," I say bluntly.

"what do you mean? I have a developing rogue problem?" He asks.

I sigh, realizing he's a slowpoke and is gonna have to do a lot of talking.

"It's obvious, isn't it? uncle Michael said you guys haven't had rogues issues in a while, then they came back and they're not fighting as rogues normally do. They attack in groups and their fighting styles are more tactical, either rogue became less feral overnight or they have a leader. your pack is one of the strongest in the US, so it's only natural, they target your pack, also you might have a mole; How else would the rogues have made it that far on the pack lands without patrol noticing?"

"HOW DARE YOU!!?" He shouts.

Can't say I didn't expect that reaction I'd be worried if he hadn't reacted this way.

"First you come here and you attack me, then you attack my pack members and now you're accusing them of being traitors? I should throw you out of my pack right now. If your uncle wasn’t my beta, and I didn't respect him as much as I did, I would have thrown you out instantly. I suggest you leave my office before I lose my temper" he said shaking with anger and eyes flashing showing his wolf was fighting for control.

"Look, I know you don't like me and believe me, when I say I hate you to my core, but am not one to sit by and let innocent people be massacred, I know what am talking about, these rogues are attacking with purpose and they have help. It's your pack, so I can't tell you what to do, but this is something I've done before, I know how these things work, I've seen it happen before, but you don't have to listen to me, just know that if your pack is attacked on a larger scale next and members die, that is on you, also, your pack members need to train harder their fighting sucks and you guys need to train the females to fight as well.

"LEAVE" his voice boomed shaking the walls in his office.

His alpha tone was evident, but I didn't move an inch, I just sat there giving him a bored look.

"You are my son, aren't you?" He half whispered

"no, shit, Einstein" I retorted

"whether you have alpha blood or not, and even if you're not a pack member, you should have at least flinched when I shouted, but you're just sitting there as nothing happened," he says in disbelief

"first of all, there is only one alpha tone in this world that I or my mom listens to, and that's our Alpha's, so don't think it's because I'm your son, no, it's because my wolf is strong enough to resist. As per what I was saying earlier, maybe you don't have a mole, that part is unclear but I do know you have a rogue problem if you still don't believe me, then check in with the other surrounding packs and see. You know where to find me, when you've pulled your head out of your father's ass, and stop trying to impress him and start protecting your pack. "I told him as I walked out the door.

As I walked down the hallway, a bone-chilling scream made its way to my ears, I ran in the direction, the scream was coming from and entered a room to see a little girl around twelve years old curled in a fetal position on the floor beside a wheelchair. When she looked at me, I suddenly had the urge to protect her, I ran to her and scooped her up in my arms, I saw tears in her eyes as she whispered

"help me"

I knew she was my aunt, because she resembled her mom a lot. Her bones started rearranging and I knew she was shifting, how come there's no one here to help her? didn't they prepare for this all wolves shift at twelve for fucks sake? I gently picked her up and ran with her outside, I laid her on the grass as I spoke to her.

"What's your name, sweetie?" "Isabelle Black but everyone calls me Izzy" she replied her voice hoarse from screaming

"ok, Izzy, I'm Alessandro, and I'm your nephew," I say smiling at her

"I know" she replied

"Why didn't anyone prepare you for this? aren't you twelve years old?" I asked

"Prepare me for what? What's happening to me and am 16, not 12. I suffer from a sickness that caused me to be unable to walk by myself, and it also shrunk my growth spurt, so I look smaller than I am"

To say I was shocked would be the understatement of the century

"well, I apologize for mixing up your age, but your shifting, that's why you're in so much pain but because you are sick, it probably is more painful than normal, it will take at least three hours before your shift," I told her.

"What! I can't be shifting, I mean, yes, I'm a wolf but the doctor said if I shift, it might kill me, because my body can't handle it, so they gave me injections to prevent me from doing so, and I can't endure this amount of pain for three hours" she replied scared.

"Hey, don't worry, ok? I'll help you through it and when you feel like it's too much, you tell me, ok? and I'll take some of the pain away."

She nodded at me as her spine started reshaping, and a blood-curling screaming left her lips. She gripped unto me, and I could see tears in her eyes, she was trying to hold on, but I could tell she was losing consciousness. Furs started to sprout and her mouth reshaping changing as well. When I saw she was about to faint, I stuck my claws in the back of her neck, and started taking her pain away, this is a delicate procedure, and if it's done incorrectly or interrupted could kill both of us.

I was so focused on Izzy, I didn't even realize we were being surrounded until I heard my mom call out to me. She was saying something, but I couldn't hear her due to how intense Izzy's pain was, I know I'm probably taking too much, and it might overwhelm me but I have to she can't handle this much pain not yet at least. All of a sudden, I felt someone rip my hands from Izzy's neck, her scream was the last thing I heard before I fell into darkness.
