Story: Ellie 2
I went on as if they hadn’t, keeping his gaze. “I’ve spoken with my partner and she supports me saying we’ll figure it out if our relationship goes the distance. I’ll stay at ASH for a decadeand accomplish what I want with health care and train doctors who can replace me so the world doesn’t lose my specialty and—”
“I will kill you!” Myung roared as he launched for me.
I easily grabbed him and threw him into the wall, using his own force and damaging it. I tilted my head and studied him, finally asking the question I’d always been too scared to. “Like you tried to when I was a baby?”
Yes. It was in his eyes.
Regret. Not that he’d done it… But that he’dfailed.
I curled my lip at him in disgust. “You don’t deserve to lead this pack if that was the only way you could, git. I’m better for London and weboth know it.” I slammed him into the wall when he opened his mouth to argue, hard enough to do more damage. “What have you done to deserve being Alpha besides being born first?”
I was shocked when Ha-yun snorted but then realized what she meant and decided to give her the point.
“And have a cock. Yeah, that’s fair. Shifters are way more sexist than the world thinks. Ha-yun would make a much better Alpha than you, andallof us here think that if we’re honest with ourselves. If we did a blind poll right now, we’d all vote for her over you, and how sad is that for this pack that they get the reject ofyoubecause you have a fucking cock?”
“Fuck you, git,” he bit out.
I smirked at him, making it clear I was mocking him as I threw his words back at him. “Oh well, letting me have it will do a lot, big brother.”
That was when my second brother made a move. He came for me and I easily handled him. I let out my power, my wolf shutting his down so he couldn’t function well, and with throwing an easy elbow, his face exploded with blood.
“Yeah, not shocked you gits wouldn’t go for my back. Pathetic. Truly pathetic.” I slammed Myung into the wall again before letting him go and stepping away, staring down all of my siblings. “I could take all of you on and Da and you have no chance. I train that hard.
“More than that,I’mthe Alpha people come from around the world to get help from for their animals. They don’t even realize why it’s me, but they do. I help them.” I glanced at Ha-yun. “Trust me and give me permission. Please. This is important. It’s why Dr. Reed is so protective of me more than you understand.”
“It will ruin her clothes and she loves that outfit,” Mum interjected as she stepped forward. “I will allow it, my youngest. You are right that we haven’t done more and—I’m sorry. Let me show it.”
“Don’t submit to another Alpha,” Da growled.
I spun around and grabbed him, pissed in a way I wasn’t sure I’d ever been with him. I let my wolf floor our power and let it all out as I slammed him into a wall. “You don’t deserve Mum. You haven’t from the moment you let Grandfather name Ha-yun and be so fucking sexist. You’re not Alpha over yourmate, not when she’s an Alpha wolf as well!”
I was evil and smirked when he showed me his throat, but then I toned it back and focused on Mum, telling my wolf to do his thing. She didn’t fight me, so it went well, obviously having warned her wolf that this was important.
Or her wolf knowing to trust her own damn son better than my own fucking father did.
Her clothes were trashed, but the change was almost as seamless as if she’d done it herself when her wolf was itching to come out. Definitely better than when she and her wolf were arguing.
She made a point of coming and sitting right by my feet and staring down the rest of the family.
“Thanks, Mum,” I rasped, truly touched. I stared down each of my siblings.
“That’s supposed to be a punishment,” Seo-yeon whispered. “I don’t understand. I’ve seen Mum’s da do it to punish and—”
“He rules with an iron fist and is a git,” I said firmly, not caring who heard. “Weaker Alphas or ones who haven’t been taught right bastardize things. You can’t be surprised at that, right?”
“This is why you were always so focused on the kids with rough first shifts, yeah?” Ha-yun put together. “Not just because you had a rough first shift.”
“Correct,” I confirmed. “My first shift was rough because I was more powerful than any would have expected—maybe I should have been. My wolf didn’t know how to gently come out or wasn’t scared to change forms like most. It wanted to explode out and have its turn, but that’s not how it works. This power is meant to help that.
“That’s what I want to teach and help with at ASH. No more kids being looked down on becauseAlphasare ill-equipped. Not even blaming them. The knowledge was lost. Probably intentionally because it hides who is powerful or was hurt—traumatized, and that leads to issues that people want buried. So I will take ten years to help the medical community—”
“Our pack would never survive if you took over instead of the eldest,” Myung snapped.
I snorted. “I told Ha-yun that I thought she should, but—I didn’t think she would have the support she deserves.”
“You’re serious,” Ha-yun whispered. “I thought you were being flippant that I was a better option.
I met her gaze, making it clear I was serious. “I would back you and help you train in a heartbeat. I would work with you as your trainer and help Dr. Tai get you on a program to make you twice as strong as you are.” I gestured to Myung. “You’re alreadytwenty timessmarterthan this dumbfuck. You’re a stronger wolf, but we know to hold London—”
