Page 57 of A Female Alpha for the Lycan Prince

“Who knows which lucky guy will fill that position in your pack?” Elden smiles.

Your son, I think, your son should fill the position. I don’t say it though, just smile nervously. I can see my reaction has surprised him. Damn! I really need to put my guard up again. I distract everyone by sending Harmony to fetch Valerie, asking her to make sure that Val’s parents stay behind. It’ll be easier for Val if we mind link them and explain everything separately.

*VALERIE*

I’m surprised I’m allowed to be here when they question the guys who assaulted Marilou and me. I thought they’d do it all behind closed doors and pretend nothing ever happened. Part of me loathes the idea of seeing them again, but another part of me wants to make sure they have the right guys and that Alpha Celine and Alpha Elden will punch them from here to the moon.

Harmony and I arrive at the meeting room to find everyone is already there. The four guys are chained in silver, something that fills me with grim satisfaction. Fun, huh? A few hours ago, they had Marilou and me tied up.

I’m surprised by how pathetic they look. I thought they would be taller and more imposing, but now that they have no drugs and no tricks, they are just so… plain.

“You know Valerie already,” Alpha Elden deadpans.

“Well…” Greg stutters.

“Is this them?” Alpha Celine asks me.

I nod. “That’s him,” I point at Greg. “He said I should feel honored that he would be my first…” I pause. “Well, add something vulgar to the end.”

“Really!?” their Alpha looks at them with disgust. “That’s the girl you kidnapped? She’s half your size! You should be ashamed of yourselves!”

“It’s not our fault,” Greg hurries to explain. “They wanted it. You should have seen what they were wearing!”

“What!? That’s your excuse?” Annalise rises to full height. She’s not a tall woman, she’s an omega, but seeing her like this shows the power she has in her role as luna. It’s a bit intimidating, but also amazing. It reminds me of what Luna Flora said earlier… that different people own different kinds of strengths. Maybe I can find my strength too. “I don’t care if they were naked with dollar bills attached to their boobs., No one has the right to touch them against their will.”

“So, revealing clothes was the reason you ‘had’ to knock two girls unconscious and abduct two others?” Elden demands to know. His voice is raw and dark now, sending a shiver down my spine. “You hit them with a baseball bat!”

“I wasn’t involved in THAT,” one of the guys blurts out. “I didn’t knock anyone unconscious!”

“So, you are saying you would never do something so horrible as to hit a girl? But it’s alright to rape someone?”

“We thought they were omegas,” one of them hurries to explain. “They are worthless!”

“You really don’t see how you are digging your graves deeper and deeper, do you?” Harmony asks in disbelief.

“I’m an omega too,” Luna Annalise says coolly. “So, in your logic, it would be okay to rape me? I’ll make sure to pass that on to my mate.”

“Yeah, he’ll find it hilarious, just like I do,” Elden says. Surely, even these four idiots can tell by the tone of his voice that he doesn’t find it remotely funny.

“Our wolves took control,” the other guy says in panic. “We lost control.”

Silence follows their words. The adults are just exchanging a few glances, it’s hard to read what they think.

That’s a lie,Ailia tells me.I linked their wolves when they tried to force themselves on you. They were disgusted but couldn’t take control of their humans.

I wonder if I should tell the others when Alpha Celine speaks up. “Do you think we are stupid?” Her whole aura changes, I can feel her alpha aura from across the room. It makes me want to bare my neck to her. “We all have wolves. You are in a room full of people who have wolves.”

“She’s right. You are just insulting our intelligence now,” Elden growls. “Alpha Lucas, they attacked four girls on my pack grounds. Two girls are still in the infirmary for that reason. They drugged them, abducted two of them, and attempted to force themselves on them. They show zero remorse and think they are above our laws.”

“No,” one of the guys whimpers. “We didn’t mean to hurt them.”

“That’s not true,” I say quietly. “They were talking about other girls too. I was not the first they’ve hurt. They were boasting about it.”

Greg pales instantly.

“You also thought you could get away with this by threatening your victims, telling them you would kill all of their beloveds, eh?” Aurelia says with venom in her voice.

Alpha Elden and Alpha Celine exchange a gaze.
