The Alpha snarled, his fingers tightened around Theo's neck, his teeth inches away from his throat. "You were supposed to always be by my side. And yet, you betrayed me when I needed you the most, brother," he bit out as Theo gasped, struggling for air. "Now look at you. Begging for my help... weak and pathetic."
"Please," Theo pleaded, a shuddering thing pressed up against Kade.
Kade growled and sank his teeth into the Beta's neck.
_________________________
Ten years ago, a young Beta, Theo Ashborne, made a choice that destroyed everything. He betrayed his best friend, his first love, and his brother in all but blood: Alpha Kade Ashborne.
They had promised they would always stand together. Instead, when the Ashbornes discovered that their own son was gay, and stripped Kade of his birthright, and cast him out of the pack, Theo stayed silent. Not even when Kade looked back at him, hurt, betrayed, Theo said nothing.
In Kade's absence, Theo inherited what was never meant to be his: the Ashbourne pack, and all the power that comes with being a leader.
They were never meant to meet again, but ten years later, Theo's pack is under constant threat. A Beta cannot rule, and enemies are closing in. With his young daughter's life at risk, he's left with only one option. He must beg for help from the man he ruined, who was now the Alpha of the largest pack in North America, and very much unforgiving of Theo's betrayal.
WARNING: This is an MxM short DARK erotica story that involves submission, lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers, power imbalance, and many other, possibly disturbing themes. PLEASE do not read if these topics trigger you. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
