The Alpha's Secret Legacy

Chapter 15

Tim's Pov

Being around five wolves, a vampire, and a mermaid is... honestly terrifying.

Not because they're different.

But because any of them could snap at any second.

Still, I've been thinking a lot lately.

Which is probably dangerous.

Because all I keep thinking about is one question:

Who is Christine's mate?

It could be Harry. It could be Louis. Maybe even Clifford.

But if I'm being honest?

I think it's Clifford.

Harry and Louis are clearly... something. And so are Niall and Zayn. I'm not judging—it's just... unusual in the world I come from.

Anyway.

Louis approached me suddenly, looking completely broken.

"Hey, Tim," he said quietly.

"Hey, kid," I replied carefully. "What's wrong?"

He hesitated, then finally cracked.

"Love life."

And just like that, he broke down.

I'm not good at this. Comforting people was never my thing.

But something about him reminded me of my son, Asher. Same expression. Same kind of pain.

I sighed. "You know... you remind me of my son."

That got his attention.

"When he was your age, he cried over a girl who didn't like him," I continued. "Turns out she liked him too... she was just scared."

Louis sniffed. "I'm in love with Harry."

There it was.

Clear as day.

"Then tell him," I said simply.

He shook his head violently. "It's already too late!"

I frowned. "It's never too late."

He looked at me, desperate. "He already told me who he likes."

"Who?"

Louis wiped his face and spoke slowly.

"Blue eyes. Freckles. Quiff hair."

I blinked.

That's literally Louis.

I almost laughed.

"You know..." I said carefully, "he just described you."

Louis froze.

"R-really?"

"Yeah."

Before anything else could be said, Harry walked in.

"What are you two talking about?"

Louis panicked instantly.

I stood up. "I'll leave you two to it."

I leaned down and whispered to Louis, "Tell him."

Then I stepped out onto the balcony.

Let them handle it.

For once.

Because as much as this love mess was going on...

My thoughts weren't there.

Not really.

I stared into the distance.

My wife... Winnie...

The war.

The demons.

The blood.

She was gone because of all of this.

And the one responsible is still out there.

The Demon Lord.

My hands clenched.

I've been pretending I can stay out of this.

But I can't anymore.

If Christine is the last Alpha...

And if she dies...

Everything falls apart.

The world won't recover from that.

So I made my decision.

I'm not staying on the sidelines anymore.

This isn't just about love.

It's about survival.

And revenge.

For Winnie.

For the wolves.

For everything.

No matter what it costs me...

I'm ending this.
