“I am done living in the wrong Alpha’s shadow,” she tells me, and I see my name on all the paperwork. Legally, I own every asset of my father’s. I own his pack.
“What have you done?” I gasp in shock. A giggle escapes my lips as I read over the documents.
“I gave you back your birthright. You just need to get the pack to submit,” she tells me.
“Dad won’t allow that,” I tell her, glancing at her.
“It’s not up to your father. It’s up to them. After you left, the pack suffered, Elena. Your father has no idea what he is doing. Those that remain loyal to him are only loyal out of fear. Not everyone has forgotten the pack’s history. Our elders still told the story until your father forbade them. Some still remember whose blood that pack was built on, and it wasn’t your father’s but mine, and now it’s yours.”
I swallow, nodding as I stare down at the paperwork. “But what if Axton…”
My mother waves me off. I have no intentions of being with Axton, but he has marked me, and I know now I have to fight a bond I can feel trying to reforge. If I try to reject him again, I have no doubt he will take my boys. And soon, there will be no hiding from him. Soon the world will know my name.
My mother is right. I would be changing history. I did when I officially put my name down on this pack as Alpha. And with that, Axton will also be thrown back into the spotlight when they find out I am his mate. His mark makes his presence in my life impossible to ignore now. By hierarchy, I am technically his Luna, since I bear his mark. Yet also, I’m still the Alpha of my own packs.
“Times are different now, Elena. Women have rights now. Axton can’t take this from you unless you allow it. So not only have you become the first female Alpha of not one, but two packs, but you can merge them, keep the name solely under your name, and Axton…” She chuckles. “He can always break titles, too, and become the first ever male Luna.”
“We shall call him Lupha,” Michelle chuckles.
And I can’t help but laugh. Somehow, I don’t think Axton would be too pleased with that idea, which makes fighting the bond more important.
Chapter
Seventy
Axton
Two days later
After digging for the past two days, and even trying to bribe a few officials, no one would hand any information over about this new Alpha living on the borders of my pack. Literally living on the damn borders, he isn’t even three kilometers from the border fences.
I had sent scouts to check it out, but Marco warned me against it, stating I could start an unnecessary war. We did manage to find the dirt road on a map. So today we are going to introduce ourselves and see if I can cut a deal with the Alpha. I’m even willing to give up the vacant land I own by the river. From what Marco’s told me, his pack isn’t very big.
So worst-case scenario, they may just disappear off the face of the earth if my pack has to invade. Though, by the sounds of how small it is, Eli and I can probably handle it ourselves. Switching my computer off, I grab my jacket when my phone rings on the desk. A number I haven’t seen before pops up on the screen.
“Alpha Axton,” I state, wondering who the caller is. For a few moments, I get no answer.
“Hello?” I growl, annoyed, and quickly glance at the screen to see if the call is still connected.
Someone sighs, and I press my ear closer, trying to figure out who it is.
“It’s me, Axton,” comes Elena’s voice on the other end of the phone.
Honestly, I am shocked she called. I thought for sure I’d be forced to hunt her down. I fall back into my chair and shake off my shock.
“How are the boys?” I ask, not knowing what else to say.
“They are good. I know I said two weeks, but I can bring them by on the weekend if you want?”
“Can they stay for the weekend?” I don’t want them for a few hours; I want to spend time with them.
Elena falls quiet.
“Elena, they’re my sons too. If this goes through the courts, you’ll be forced to share custody. It’s no different.”
“You don’t even have baby stuff there, and you wouldn’t…”
“I can have my office turned into a nursery by then, and I’m sure making formula isn’t that hard. You’re looking for excuses, Elena. Either I can have them, or I can’t,” I snap at her.
