Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

Xander

| must protect Alice at all costs, and this was my only recourse.

“This is absurd!” Greg burst forth through the crowd, rage shining in his eyes as he met my gaze. Luke wasn’t far behind, his hand wrapped around Alice’s wrist, dragging her behind him.

| let loose a low growl.

Luke let go immediately.

“You have no right,” Luke said.

“lam well within my right to protect a member of this pack from possible harm, and | am well within my right to open an investigation into members of the pack.” | crossed my arms over my chest and widened my legs.

“She'll be kept safe,” Zane cut in before | could respond. “With us.”

“No f ucking way!” Luke yelled. “You will not take our mate away from us. Especially since we all know your history with her.” Alice stood on her tiptoes to peer around Luke’s shoulder, her eyes filled with gratitude.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

| wouldn’t let harm come to her, and | would figure out a way to make her ours.

“Alpha Xander, this is completely unacceptable.” Aldon stepped forward and stood in front of the crowd.

“Pack protection is not within the elders’ power. It is at my discretion, and | am simply doing what | must in order to protect a valuable member of our pack. Certainly the elders will understand the need to protect one of our viable she-wolves.”

“This is not about that, and you know it. You’re playing with fire, Xander, Aldon threatened.

“It doesn’t matter what you think this is about. Until you can find a law that negates my ruling, it stands. Gregory and Lucas will not be mated to anyone until my investigation is complete, and that’s final.”

He stood there for a moment, staring at me, glaring at me, clearly thinking about what his next move was..

There was none.

Not right now, at least.

I'm sure he'd find something, but he wasn’t going to find it today.

| held my hand out to Alice.

Greg and Luke both moved to stand in front of her to keep her from coming to me, and | let loose a low warning growl that had them practically ushering Alice into my arms.
