Chapter 201Â
‘Don’t worry, he only had a little wake–up nudge, still more than enough to go around, Shane grunts as I catch up to him, and we head for the back room. “I know.” I nod as he opens the door and stands back for me to walk in first. While I know my men won’t be able to hold themselves back completely, I also know that they won’t cross the line, not without my permission anyway. Not when it’s personal to me. This prick appears to be part of a group of men who want to hurt my brother’s mate, my future sister, which means it involves my family, making this personal.Â
The moment I step into the room, Alberto starts running his mouth not that I could tell you anything that he’s saying. I don’t have the necessary patience to listen to his bullshit right now. I look around and see Robbie, Will and Tony all standing next to a long metal table that holds some very interesting implements while Cole, Ryan and Warren are standing on the opposite wall. When did Warren get here?Â
“Where did you find him?” I ask them as I slowly make my way towards Alberto. He hangs his head down low, his chin resting on his chest as if he is willing to just disappear into thin air but I don’t miss the cut eye or bruise that is forming on his cheek. “He was hiding in a bush just outside of the south border,” Ryan answers all while giving Alberto an evil glare.Â
“We already have extra guards checking out the area as we speak,” Shane says before I can even open my mouth, and that right there is one of the many reasons why he is my Beta. “Good job, Beta.” He nods his appreciation as he stands back against the wall next to Robbie and I move over to the wall next toÂ
Ryan.Â
I grab a chair from the tall stack of them that we keep in here and set it down in front of Alberto, and then I straddle the seat and take a minute to rein in my temper. I need answers from him before anything else can happen and for that to happen I need to keep my calm.Â
“Look at me,” I command, my Alpha tone coming out firm. Alberto’s head flies up until his eyes are directly on mine. “Alpha, please, let me explain.” He sounds off. The Alberto I know is always a happy soul, the heart of any party, so seeing him like this is throwing me off. Then again, the Alberto I know wouldn’t betray his pack or Alpha, so what do I know?Â
“What is there to explain? “I think it’s pretty clear that you are a traitor!” A growl rips from my chest as the anger of his betrayal once again hits me. I’ve been Alpha a long ass time and have never experienced this before, As far as I know anyway, and it’s not something I wish to experience again. I would give my life for any one of my pack members and, while I don’t expect the same from them, I do expect them to at least be loyal.Â
No one is forced to be in my pack. I’ve had several members leave the pack over the years. Every member knows that if they want to leave they only have to come and speak to me. It would take a lot for me to refuse them leave with good wishes and so far it hasn’t happened. But taking in all of the facts and that Alberto ran with Talon, I’m going to go ahead and guess that his wanting to leave wasn’t why he did this.Â
