I watched as his mouth opened like he was going to say something, but then it closed before even a single word could come from it, as if he didn’t know exactly what he wanted to say to me. Seeing that he was struggling, I remained silent, knowing how hard all of this must be on him, because if I was being honest, it was a tough pill for me to swallow knowing that I wasn’t the firstborn Alpha.

My whole life, I had trained to take over my father’s position as head alpha of our pack, giving up most of my free time to work beside my father learning the ropes, while Cash and Chase had a life. Now, it could have been all for nothing, and the one person I feel like blaming for it all was my father, because by the sounds of it, he hid Liam’s existence from us all. Right now, though, it wasn’t a path that I wanted to go down with my father, because I knew that we all had a lot on our hands at the moment.

By the looks of things, I wasn’t the only one fighting to keep my emotions in check, as Liam tried a few more times to get the words off the tip of his tongue that he wanted to say to me. Finally, after a few more attempts to speak wh on his mind, his mouth opens, and this time he finds the words he wanted to use, as he says to m

le as he looks away from me for a second, before he finally turns back and says ace, “Don’t look so surprised cuz, it’s not like I have any ties to the pack. You, on een training your whole life for the position, and it wouldn’t be right for me to take Besides that, I’m sure you notice the dismay around here.”

taring at him, unsure what he was saying to me, but then he adds, “I don’t see why the ally live in harmony together.”

eally saying what I think you are saying?” I asked him, not believing what he was choosing, Liam wasn’t raised in a pack.

ooked past me at that moment, back towards the estate, before he said this time to me, “I st moments ago, look at the people that reside here, and I know that you feel the same thing in for all of them as I do. I can’t just walk away from them all, knowing that by tomorrow morning have no one to lead and protect them from that bastard Jacob. With my blood ties to the Alpha King, I also hold the title of Alpha here too.”

in a million years did I think this was the way this conversation with him was going to go, but I had ve him credit where credit was due, because what he was about to take on came with a target on his d. Honestly, going into all of this, i didn’t give much thought to who would fill the Alpha Rogue King’s sition, nor did I really care about it. That was until I got here to his estate, and fought by his men’s sides. Now, if I was being truly honest with myself, I couldn’t abandon them.

Turning his eyes back to me, Liam adds, “Plus, our ties run even deeper than just that. You and your brothers are my half-blooded sister’s mates, and I know that we both share the need to protect her. If we form an alliance here today, we can ensure her safety.”

Liam at that moment mistook my hesitation as a denial to his request, as he turns away from me while he says, “Maybe I have mistaken your ability to look past the politics of it all for the sake of Raven.”

“It’s not that. It’s just that my father still holds the position as Alpha of our pack. I am not yet at liberty to make such an alliance with you.” I quickly admit it to him, because I don’t want him to think that Raven’s safety isn’t my first and foremost priority.

My confession had Liam quickly turning to face me, but his response was, once again, not what I would ave expected from him. Leaving out a loud buff, he had his own confession for me, as he said, “Your ather’s word means absolutely nothing to me, even though he is acting Alpha. After the years of lies that were tossed around tonight, I don’t trust either of our so-called fathers. That is why the two of us need to orm this alliance, leaving them completely out of this. What happened in the past needs to stay in the past, because, by the sounds of things, they are the reason why this wasn’t resolved all those years ago.”
