Protective Alpha

Jess and Jason catch up to me outside the conference room, and Jess hugs me. “Thank you for protecting my sister.”

“She sacrificed herself for this pack. It’s the least I could do,” I say, pulling back. “Are you guys leaving today with Alpha Peter and Luna Rachael?” I ask as we walk down the hallway of the pack house.

“Yeah. We’re leaving in about half an hour,” Jason says.

“Make sure you guys find me before you go, okay?” I say as we walk outside.

“Of course, we wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye,” Jess says. “We’ll find Alpha Peter for you.”

“Thanks,” I say, and they walk away.

I hear a crash come from inside, so I run back into the pack house and hear yelling from the kitchen.

“Did you seriously think you could leave our pack without repercussions?” I hear a male growl.

As I run into the kitchen, I find Beta Stephan holding Lauren by the throat against the kitchen wall.

“Get your hands off her,” I growl.
