Her Hybrid Alpha (book 2)

Chapter 2

He looks at me his eyes sad with remorse  , the huge bombshell he just dropped hanging in the air. “ so we are cousins ?” I ask him and he nods his head. He sighs and looks down “ it gets a little confusing so stop me if you need something explaining “. We all seem to lean forward more , like settling in for a bed time story as a child. “ Your dad was the Alpha of the Midnight Mountain pack , my grandfather never got the chance to be alpha like my father he wasn’t a born Alpha he wasn’t even apart of the alpha family he married in . My dad and yours where brothers , my father was your dads beta. It was actually my Grandmother that was Alpha she was the first female Alpha ever born,  he married my grandmother to become an Alpha pair. She died of an unexplained death so your father stepped straight in as Alpha much to grandfathers disappointment he thought  he would become Alpha “.

He looks up at me and smirks but he looks sad “ following so far ? “ he says and I nod my head. He takes another drink and then continues. “ so your mother was the sister of the high green packs Alpha hence why they had always been friends , allies they was Mathews pack”. He nods his head towards Mathew “ well my grandfather kept trying to change the way your father ran the pack , he’d tried with grandmother too with no luck. She says he changed as soon as they married and had children to a bitter old man, especially when he realised your father was Alpha born “. 

“ so when you was born and me he realised his shot at Alpha was non existent. More so you than me , when you was born the moon shone so bright it was blinding they say. The belived you to be a high howler , silver fur with added powers straights from the moon goddess herself. They wouldn’t know until you shifted for the first time but they was all certain “.  He shakes his head grinning “ you was the damm golden boy of both packs related in both sides grandparentson both sides , you was the nephew of the alpha at high green moons they would all play argue of who’s pack you’d be alpha of you would have had your pick. There was actually talk of combining the packs if it proved you where a high howler even back then , everyone agreed they would step down willing to be  amicable “. 

Grandfather got wind , because of his opinions and outlooks of how a pack should be ran. He eventually lost all access to the inner circle meetings everyone fed up of how he would try to undermine the alpha spot his hatred amongsteveryone in meetings . He eventually lost it he killed your parents with the help of dark witches he would never have had a chance alone  , your other grandparents where there on a visit. They stole you away and the war began , my father and mother died in an attack from the other pack. Apparently anyway,  I honestly think it was my grandfather he would have had an hard time getting the other pack to attack ours like I said we was pretty much combined anyways . The other pack knew my parents wouldn’t harm your parents they was family . In stepped grandfather to raise us , to raise Bridie , finch and Leyton anyways and away you disappeared with your mother’s mum and dad. He declared a war he kept witches around for a while and somehow made himself an Alpha as in he became an actual Alpha asif he'd been born into it all along , he claimed the sorrow of loosing his family had broken whatever had stopped him being alpha all along. We all knew it was magic somehow  “ 

“ what about you ?” I ask , it seems he got rid of everyone who would pose a threat. He laughs without humour “ too suspicious if I suddenly died , I was too young to challenge him so he could leave me be for a while. I trained hard and became lethal, he knew that. So he took away a chance of me even trying to challenge him he made the pact with Mathews pack , created a bigger pack. Leon was the next Alpha he wasn’t apart of your family but he was the strongest of the pack alpha born but in normal times would have conceded his power or challenged , to be honest they hadnt had a real leader in years the wars killing all potentials. Grandfathers instructions would always be to seek out the strongest and kill them , until Leon”. 

Mathew groans , “ Leon near on changed over night , word had come for a meet we had all just elected him to step up into Alpha our Alphas never lasted long. Like he said always targeted in a fight and wiped out. Word came in for a meet on neutral grounds. He came back all sappy eyed and preaching of a truce saying he’d found his love. The weird thing is , no offence cage man he hated your pack more than anyone vowed justice and vengeance. His total mood change was a huge shock no one wanted to merge , we all knew it was a mistake . But we had put him into Alpha position there was nothing we could do . Bridie turns up the next day and looks at our pack like it was the worst place she had ever been. She said her pack was better and that’s where we would move , Leon had just nodded along and ordered the pack lands to be demolished to pack our s**t we was moving “.

Back to Cage “ those who put up too much of a fight where executed for not following Alpha orders “ he says and Mathew looks down at his drink nodding. “ Leon would never have ordered that , not the guy we knew anyway , the one I grew up with s**t,  his own uncle was among them he did nothing as they murdered him  “.  Dante stands up and starts to pace , he does that when he’s deep in thought. “ how did your grandfather die ?” He asks Cage. 

Cage shrugs “ another unexplained death , pack doctor couldn’t work it out. But we all said it’s like he knew. He knew I wouldn’t challenge my own sister for Alpha spot. Suddenly he ends a war that had been raging years one he loved at that. He got bridie  In and kept me out “. A low whistle sounds from near the door to the room we all look back to see Killian and Cole propped up against the wall just inside the room. We had all been so enthralled in the story we hadn't heard them enter the room. “ that’s one f****d up family “ Cole says as they both stroll in. Cage actually laughs at the insult and I’m not sure how I feel, all this the deaths the vileness of my own family.

All these years I craved to know who I was , now I know I wish I hadn’t spent so long pinning. Because this wasn’t a family anyone would want to be involved in. “ so he just died ?’ Dante says drawing all our attention back to him. Cages face scrunches in confusion “ yea one day he was just fine fit and healthy . Acting weird ordering people around and merging the packs as quick as he could the next day he just didn’t wake up”. He shrugs “ docs couldn’t find a reason why “. 

‘ what’s your thoughts Dante “ I knew my brother his brain was working a mile a minute. He stops rubbing his chin “ it’s obvious your grandfather had help in all this , people dieing him becoming an Alpha. Even Leon becoming all puppy dog on you guys”. I nod standing up “ you believe witches or dark magic users where helping him again ? “. Mathew and Cage both shake there heads no. “ we both sense magic just like you guys and there was never anything , surely we would sense it if he had used magic users “. 

Dante looks stumped , they are right they would have. Standing up suddenly exhausted I empty my glass. “ we will resume this tomorrow, the comfort of my mate is calling “. I know I wouldn’t sleep but I was feeling extremely overwhelmed right now , i guess I always held out hope that I had a family out there still. Or at least my story would be a happy one , not this not a family that was so broken and quite frankly f****d. Bridie wouldn’t step down , the remaining biological family I had I’d now have to possibly kill myself. Didn’t that make me just like grandfather killing family to get what I wanted. Did I even want to be Alpha damm I was so screwed up, darkness was tugging at me to succumb. I leave the room to the feeling of eyes drilling into my back worry wafting of them all in spades.
