Her Brutal Alpha novel Chapter 90

"Yes." He nodded, his lips in a thin line.

I held my breath not wanting to express my feelings to Blaine. I understood why he done it.

"Does Adrian know?" I leaned away slightly, only then noticing Adrian standing at the opening of the door.

"I do. Alexis knows and she is devastated but understands. Her brother hasn't been himself for years ever since his mate died. He had allowed his wolf to take control while his human faded into the background. Alexis said he had become a shell of a person, he was weak and slowly killing himself."

The tension in the air was heavy, both their wolves were on edge as they stared at one another.

I only nodded, wanting to change the subject from Alexis's brother and onto the rogues. "Why did you let some of the rogues go?" I was curious and taken back. Blaine never allowed rogues to live, it was completely against his rules.

"The ones who willingly gave information, I let go and I even," Blaine shook his head then run his hand through his hair. "I even let a few stay and become a member of the pack."

I physically leaned back, my head tilting up to stare at him in shock, my eyes widening. Worried that I had heard wrong, I turned to look at Adrian who had a smirk on his face, amused at my reaction. "You did?"

"Yes." He grumbled, his eyes flickering back and forth with his wolfs.

I grinned at my mate, he was still the most ruthless Alpha but his brutal mentality was slowly fading, his decisions more thought out. "I'm proud of you."

The smile stayed on my face as I held onto him, his posture still stiff and his muscles tense but they relaxed once I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his head closer to mine.

Adrian was no longer present, and had left to be with his grieving mate.

"You did the right thing Blaine, stop dwelling and getting aggravated about a situation you cannot change. Letting those rogues go and letting some stay isn't a bad thing."

"Maybe. I'm not sure why I decided to not kill them, something in my mind said not to. I won't be making that mistake again." He grunted to himself, a low growl rumbling in his throat.

"You haven't made a mistake Blaine. You cannot know that you made a mistake right now, only time will tell. Showing mercy isn't a weakness." It was obvious that his father was on his mind, his thoughts mixing into mine as he questioned his judgment.
