“Slade Pride.” Emris says as he steps up with Alpha Darton from the Sun Pack.

He’s also with Silver on his left. From the jump, the plan was simple…to have the power to make Slade’s pack starve. But now he’s chasing Demetra, and she’s letting him in slow, brick by brick, so yeah… starving her brother’s pack isn’t really the move

anymore.

“Emris Covenant.” Slade says, with his own beta by his side.

Slade doesn’t want Demetra to know about this meeting, either. His pack’s accounts are still bleeding, and he has exhausted every suggestion to reclaim the territory. He thought he was doing everything right until he realized Emris greased the judge’s palm. But it wasn’t just the judge. It seems every official, every lawyer, every person of influence in the city who owes Emris a favor. That’s the core of his manipulation: he gives people things, lavish, tempting things, only to collect the debt when they can least afford to pay.

Slade didn’t come here expecting Emris to simply hand back what he stole. He understands now. This was never about the land. This is punishment for using those barghests against him a Alpha Fest.

“Name your price?”

Other Alphas begin to drift toward them, abandoning their casual conversations on the field. They thought this was just the usual weekend football game, a chance to blow off steam after a long week. But one look at the space between Slade and Emris tells a juicier story.

“Your sister.” Emris jokes and watches that brutal, knockout rage across Slade’s face.

Honestly, the Moon Goddess must have created Emris for the sole purpose of taunting Slade. It was bad enough that he left bites all over Slade’s mate body, had her wanting more while he played indifferent. Now the Moon Goddess has looked down and decided to twist the knife, making Emris his sister’s mate all over again. It has to be some kind of test.

“Relax. I’m joking.” Emris holds up his hands. “No need to overheat like the engine of my car.”

Ever the fucking joker. Another joke, another round of sycophantic laughter from the men gathered around them. But Emris knows this one isn’t a joke.

The Alpha of the covenant pack wants Demetra. And if Slade had any idea what his sister was doing to Emris…how she made him burn with frustration, making him pull out just as he was about to lose control…maybe Slade would explode like that overheating engine.

“Heard about your divorce.” Slade keeps his voice level. “Condolences.”

“Oh, it’s not a condolence. I’ve been wanting out for years.”

“Yeah?” Slade says, pretending he’s got interest in that jist.

Before all of this, Slade begged the Moon Goddess to never give Emris a mate he could call his own. It seems the Moon Goddess is selectively deaf, because she turned around and gave Emris his innocent sister….the same woman whose life he nearly ruined. All in all, Slade hates Emris Covenant to the very ore.

“Do you have another woman in mind?” One of the Alphas smirks, glancing around at the others. “That Demetra Pride seemed only interested in you during the Alpha Fest.”

They’re all dick suckers, every last one of them. They circle Ems like flies around rotten meat because they are scared to ever say anything wrong to his face, Slade thinks. But in private? In private they hate him just as much as everyone else. They hate his power, his money, the way he walks into any room and makes them feel small.

Slade knows because he’s seen it. He’s heard the whispers at the Bars, the bitter words traded when they think no one’s listening. But here? Here they’ll kiss the ground he walks on.

“My dad really didn’t tell me about Alpha Kacl. Do you think my father and my pack had something to do with what happened to your father!?”

“Not think.” Emris snarls, veins visible in his neck. “I fucking know it.”

“There was an attack and he died!” Slade’s voice rises, cracking at the edges. “My dad has no explanation for it!”
