Powerful But Broken

Heading To Hell

Brae's POV

It's been a day since Riggs and Grey arrived and I already want to pull out my hair. Riggs seems to try to be near me at all times as if trying to reveal my secrets.

Grey is just lounging around, looking bored out of his mind. I can tell he didn't want to tag along with Riggs in the first place.

Right now I am in my office, going through paperwork when my phone rings.

"Hello, Beta Kingston speaking." I say.

Yes, I answer the phone as Beta because if we go to help a pack, Ace steps in pretending to be an alpha.

"Hello, this is Alpha Jake of the Moon Pack. We have been getting increased numbers of rogue attacks and would like your help."

I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, "Let me get Alpha Marks for you," I manage to say.

As I bring the phone down from my ear, I hear him say 'weak'.

'Ace, I need you in my office now,' I shakily says.

He bursts through the office door and I hand him the phone while I try it steady my breathing. He give me an 'are you okay' look and I just shake my head.

"This is Alpha Marks."

"Alpha Marks, this is Alpha Jake of the Moon Pack. I am calling to ask for your help with rogues. We need your training for my best warriors."

Ace looks at me with understanding in his eyes and then he is unsure of what to say. We never turn down a pack. I give him a nod.

"We will come later on today," Ace replies.

"See you then."

The phone line goes dead and Ace hangs up the phone.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to," Ace tells me and I know he is right, but I have to go.

"No, I need to go and face them. Enough running away," I say with new found determination. "Can you start packing, I will be up in a minute."

When we got back I unpacked Ace's belongings in my room and he brought over the rest of his stuff later on.

I open my office door and come face to face with Riggs.

"I swear to god Riggs, stop eavesdropping. Remember that you are on my territory, not yours."

"Sorry. What are you doing?"

"Ace and I are leaving to another pack today, you can either stay here or go back to your pack house."

"What pack?"

"That's classified."

"What pack Brae?" He uses his Alpha tone with pisses me off.

I pin him against the wall with my hand around his throat, "Don't you dare use your Alpha tone on me Riggs. Have you already forgotten when happened yesterday? I am pretty damn strong so don't you dare use that tone with me," I use my Alpha tone which surpasses his and he looks down.

I let go of his throat and walk out the door, heading to mine and Ace's room.

"I swear if Riggs doesn't leave soon I am going to snap his neck," I tell Ace. 

"What happened now?"

"He used his Alpha tone on me. Me!"

Ace gives me a hug, "Calm down babe, let's get packing so we can get away from him."

"Run from one frustrating person to another," I mumble.

Ace chuckles, "You can still stay here is you want."
