Chapter 106

“Karolina, look at you trying to stir up trouble. I have the same answer for you as I did for the Elders.

This is my wife’s pack.”

She purses her lips, but wisely stops prodding.

She isn’t going to get an answer.

If and when I do claim pack Roberts, I’m not giving any warning.

I would assume power, unify the pack and then deal with

the Council. I am aligned by marriage and have acted in

accordance with all Pack Laws.

These mot herf**kers got nothing on me.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me,” I say to her, “I hear the string quartet warming up, and my Luna promised

me a dance. Isn’t that right, honey?”

If looks could ki ll… But Leah stops snarling and smiles prettily. She accepts the hand I hold out to her

again. “How can I say no, when you ask so politely?”

I escort Leah back into the main hall. Karolina follows and

waltz, Karolina continues to watch from the sidelines. A server presents her with a brandy and she sips

slowly.

“You okay?” I ask Leah.

She practically growls at me.

Yeah. Kind of expected that.

“Those rude, antiquated ba stards! Can you believe the nerve of them? And the way they talked about

me as if I wasn’t sitting right there, and then acting like my brother has no claim to his own pack!?”

That came from how her father handled things. But I don’t say

that.

In picking a human. A female. And the Luna of his enemy…

Old Man Roberts made it abundantly clear that he didn’t want Liam being Alpha.

Now, I’m not saying that Roberts didn’t have a good reason, but to the rest of the world, for Roberts to

do such a thing, that could only mean that Liam was a very poor alternative.

I twirl Leah out and then bring her in. Her head rests on my chest. If I dip my head I can smell her hair.

My arm around her

waist guides her and she moves effortlessly. I don’t think she

knows the steps, but she follows my lead as if we’d danced like this many times already.

“You didn’t tell me about Leithrow,” she says quietly.

I sigh and it blows the curls atop her head. “It’s been hectic. I should’ve mentioned it sooner. It’s not like

I set out to expand

my Pack. When I challenged him in the clearing, it was just to save you, I wasn’t thinking any further

than that.”

And that’s the God’s honest truth.

He was trying to hurt Leah. I had one thought-to ki ll him.

James will lock things down up there. He’s smart and strong. A

natural leader.

If the Council is going to balk, I’ll install James as Alpha there and he can swear fealty to me. It would

still be ‘mine’ but that should mollify the Council enough.

Because Roberts Pack is the real prize.

The wolves are lethal. Several hundred strong.

And the land and corporation have value. If managed

properly.

Leah expels a deep breath that I feel through my shirt. “Everyone is out to get me.”

“Naw. It just seems that way.”

She lifts her head and quirks a brow at me.

Alright. There was a murder attempt made a few hours ago and she just got an ultimatum from the

High Council to gain her wolf by the Fall Equinox which is only a few months. away-or … what exactly?

Leah didn’t say that she would transition, only that she would

‘decide’ by then.

Smart girl, she was to buy herself time.

“Well, at least your party wasn’t boring,” I say.

She snorts.

“You want to get out of here for a while?” I ask her.

She looks around the room. The party is winding down. “You

think that’s okay?”

“You’re the Alpha.”

“Give it an hour until the Council members leave. Then, can

you take me somewhere…safe?”

Her eyes are so innocent and trusting. My arms unconsciously tighten around her. “Yeah, princess.

Leave everything to me.”
