Her Brutal Alpha novel Chapter 70

His jaw clenched as his eyes switched to black indicating his anger. "Did you?" Blaine's tone sounded deadly as he raised his eyebrow at Pierce.

Peirce rolled his eyes, as he glared back just as cold. "No Blaine, and I think my last comment said it all."

"We are both as shocked as you are, this was completely unexpected." Ava quickly added as she leaned into Peirce slightly, wanting comfort as the tension in the room intensified.

"We came here for one reason and that was to discuss this ridiculous plan of yours." Peirce said, his voice sounding nonchalant.

Blaine abruptly stood up, his wolf still fully in control. His breathing was heavy and profound; rage was filling up his chest as he glared down at Peirce who remained calm.

His jaw clenched as he spits out, "And what makes you think that I haven't got wolves minutes away from your territory prepared to attack the moment I give them my command?"

I felt my heart beat quicker as if all my blood had run from my cheeks, I knew what my mate was capable of, and I was concerned by his words. I looked up questionably towards Blaine who continued to stare at Peirce with a teasing smirk plastered on his face.

Peirce instantly stood up growling menacingly at Blaine, his own wolf taking control. Both their bodies were shaking with anger; it looked as if they were both in mid shift.

They stood only a few meters away from each other, only a table situated between them keeping them apart. Blaine had his hands curled into fists as Peirce clenched his jaw.

I reached up, grabbing Blaine's hand which he gripped back but refused to look at me as he stared back at Peirce just as fierce as before.

In the corner of my eye I could see Ava doing the same thing, attempting to calm her mate down but neither Alpha was willing to back down.

"Look," My father stepped in, his own Alpha tone spilling through. "This conversation is for our humans only. This is a conversation not a fight."

I watched as Peirce slowly sat down agreeing, and Blaine followed but neither of them was letting their eyes sway anywhere but each other.

I didn't think Blaine was being serious, he was teasing in a threatening way, something he did often to enrage other wolves but in the back of my mind, I wondered.

"So, now what?" Peirce growled lowly at Blaine. "I'm not going to sit here and argue with you Blaine. You're either going to attempt to take my territory and start a war or you're not. So what's it going to be?"
