Withered Love

Revelation and Revulsion

I never thought our trip here would take a turn like this; I had hoped Drake's father would accept me as his mate. I can't deny I hoped he had changed and no longer favored the theory of using she-wolves as breeders, but I guess I was fooling myself, wasn't I?

Now I am left to deal with this fucker face to face and in front of everyone who once called him Alpha! I felt my Lycan ready to pounce but restrained herself for her mate's sake not wanting to wound Drake's mother any further considering what she had learned from the old wolf along with her own mate.

"Take the Luna inside the house and tend to her...get her anything she needs!" I growled out authoritatively.

They helped the Luna up who still had remained on the cold hard marble that rested beneath her.

"Come with us Luna, please let us tend to you." I heard one of them coo out to her as they helped her to her feet.

I watched as the she-wolves escorted the Luna into the house closing the doors behind them, at least now she won't hear fully what is about to be said I thought. Since I had demanded the elder wolf answer me, he had walked closer to our position and further from the Luna's ears.

"There are over forty pups that resulted from his breeding with the she-wolves. Not all of the pups survived due to how brutal he was with the she-wolves when he would breed them even while carrying a pup. The surviving pups range from the ages of months old to the age of you yourself Drake." The elder wolf explained cautiously.

I felt as though someone had just crushed my heart, not that it effected my Lycan but for me it was a heavy blow to take. How could a werewolf do that to their own mate let alone any she-wolf he forced into the breeding's? I felt my stomach flip at the mere though of that man touching me or any she-wolf.

My Lycan let a deep sadistic growl rip from us as all the attention was focused on the fallen Alpha.

"You disgraced so many, you hid your brood born from your infidelity from your mate and those of this pack who were unaware. You are no Alpha, Submit Now!" I snarled out vindictively.

"Never! Especially not to some bitch who's only use is an incubator for Alpha males!" He growled out low.

I could not believe the filth laced comment which spilled from his lips as he growled low at me regarding me as nothing more than a possession for an Alpha to fuck. I felt my blood begin to almost reach a boiling limit as I know my words would not come out fully as coherent or so I had expected since the rage was almost smothering.

I heard gasps from the werewolves standing behind us as low chatter began to emerge from behind us. I am sure they all were talking about the words that were just spat at me.

I looked over to Drake and Kade feeling the insurmountable surge of utter fury, which was surging through our link, Kade held Drake back knowing he told me I could handle it.

"Now, this pack knows how you value its members! You disgrace the title Alpha; you surely are anything but one that is for sure!" I growled out.

I could see the rage building within his eyes at my words and I couldn't care less, my Lycan chose the right ones to use and try to be in control and not sound incoherent to everyone present. I wanted to just spat vulgar slaps at the deranged asshole, but I knew that would not benefit this pack or myself personally. I growled inwardly for controlling what I truly wanted to say to this pathetic worm.

I turned and looked behind me seeing several warriors standing there with looks of shock upon their faces, I looked at one of them and pointed my clawed finger at him.

"You, come here.... what do you think now of who you considered your Alpha?" I questioned him.

"He's a liar! He swore to protect us along with our families while he was violating them himself, making our she-wolves suffer his touch against their wills! He is no Alpha! He is not 'My' Alpha!" The warrior growled out menacingly as he bore his throat to me.

I will admit I was a bit surprised by his reaction, but I think it made my point clear to the growling werewolf who played a part for everyone. Does he not realize this will spread to other packs and they would realize they better check their own packs to see if he forced bred any of their she-wolves. I couldn't believe the turn of events this trip had now taken, a small part of me wanted to be in disbelief but I knew that would not serve anyone's interest.

"Do you see? These werewolves do not consider you their Alpha, but I and my mates shall show them what true Alpha's are...no worries there!" I spat out at him.

Alright so I know I am humiliating him in front of the whole pack, but this is exactly what he has done to his mate and the she-wolves...turn around is fair play. Speaking of that I looked up to the warriors with a vindictive smirk which could chill the soul of any being taking breath.

"Take him to the cells, put him in the filthiest one with nothing! He shall not receive an ouch of compassion from anyone! Am I understood?" I growled out the question.

Every werewolf out in the clearing lowered their head showing respect as I nodded to them all as my mates began to posture and seemed proud of what they were witnessing. I looked back to where the warriors stood and raised my eyebrow at them when they swiftly grabbed ahold of Drake's father dragging him and Clifford and that bitch who thought she had rights to the cells. I turned and faced my mates as they engulfed me within their arms as they ran their noses along the side of my throat taking in my scent.

I wonder if we can breathe now that he is contained yet I know there is much more work that will need to be done! Regardless of the she-wolf who bore the pup they were still fathered by Drake's father making them family. We would need to address that along with trying to help his mother any way possible because I am sure she needs it. I do not know of a she-wolf who could handle such betrayal and over forty times? That is purely insane!

As my mates encased me within their arms a low rumble escaped from me as their touch sent surges of desire through me, I long for their touch!

"Your mother, we need to check on her Drake!" I demanded.

He nodded along with Kade as we turned and walked towards the house as Drake looked out at all the werewolves who had assembled to see what was happening. I was amazed at the sheer numbers this pack had I figured there were perhaps a hundred but there are hundreds of werewolves!

"I want you all to head home there will be a meeting later this evening and I expect everyone to be present including the pups and she-wolves who bore my siblings! Disperse!" Drake commanded.
