Broken Alpha by Paulina Vasquez (ebooks online reader TXT) 📕

“What happened to the wolves from the small packs you've destroyed?” Diesel asked.

“I see you may be confusing me with Eros. The only packs I've destroyed are the ones where I may have killed an Alpha because he was engaged in slavery and trafficking. Or the ones that tried to attack my pack after I took over. I was young, a few other Alpha's thought they could pick me off easily. It's true, Greece once had a dozen packs and now we have five. Some of the smaller packs that were engaged in illegal or unethical activities, have been destroyed, and I would gladly do it again.”

“Why not seek the help of the shifter’s council?” Diesel growled.

“You've been on the council what, ten years now Alpha? Have you not noticed that the council doesn't seem to show much interest in smaller packs? No, they're more interested in the larger packs, the ones that could disrupt the flow of order on a large scale.”

“That's not true.” Diesel said.

“It's not? Forgive me, but I recall both you and Alpha Georgios seemed to welcome the news of Eros’ death. He was knee deep in illegal activities, trafficking omega wolves and humans as slaves on the black market. Running the human mafia business, drugs, guns and sex. And what did the council do about it? NOTHING. Eros’ pack, the Moon Warriors, is about six hundred members, not including the slaves. Alpha Georgios’ pack, Zeus's Howlers, has about seven hundred members and mine is nearly three times the size. My pack, who runs a respectable business is the one the council is worried about.” I said feeling the tension in the room.

Lucy broke the awkward silence. “Alpha, you said you had received a prophecy from my mates cousin, can you share that with us?”

“Yes. My mother was friends with Ms. Alexis Ivy, I'm not exactly sure when or how they met. When I was twelve, my mother, our beloved Luna was murdered. Which is what drove my father mad. Ms. Ivy attended my mother's funeral. Niko, Alec and my sister were in the kitchen of our pack house with me when she entered. Her eyes had lost color, they were white, and she walked as if she was in a trance. She placed her hand on my shoulder and spoke the prophecy.”

“Do you remember what she said?” Lucy asked.

“The greatest of your kind will flourish in your hands to save us from the hells of war. Follow the dark bird to your destiny for they are intertwined.” Elaina's voice said and we all turned our heads to look at her.

“I was in the kitchen that day too.” She smiled.

“I thought the prophecy was about overthrowing my father, so the pack could flourish. My father was destroying the pack from the inside with his madness. Four years later, at sixteen, I shifted for the first time, which was two years sooner than normal wolves. I also discovered my elemental gift that same evening. I assumed it was a sign and challenged my father.”

“Is Earth your only element?” Lucy asked.

“Yes. But I'm also a descendant of King Lycaon, who was the first werewolf turned by Zeus, so my wolf is much bigger and stronger than most.” I said.

“What was your prophecy?” Niko asked.

“It was given to me when I was pregnant with the twins, just before the Luna ceremony. I thought it meant one of the boys, they both inherited the water element. When Raven turned eighteen, and discovered she had both elementals, I knew the prophecy was her destiny. I think I’ve always known it was her destiny. Her eyes would flash amber colors when she was a pup and experienced extreme emotions. The same thing happened to me when Alexis gave me the prophecy.” She paused in thought before she continued to recite the prophecy.

“There is a war coming and a lost wolf. Only the one born from Gods can set the course. In a hundred years, a descendant will possess the power of all four and save us in the Great War to come.”

Lucy took a drink of her wine. “We had a pack war and lost the most beloved wolf in our family shortly after the prophecy. As you may have noticed today, I’m born from Gods. I believe I have set the course; intertwined destinies are now coming together.”

“Yours talks about war too.” I said thoughtfully.

Diesel let out a low growl. “And yours talks about a dark bird with intertwined destinies ... a Raven is one of the darkest of birds.”

Chapter 32 – Twist

I woke up early in the morning, sprawled across Dimitri's chest. This seemed to be my favorite sleeping position. Even if I fell asleep on my side of the bed, I always seemed to wake up on top of him. Like some mysterious magnet that just drew me to him.

“Don't blame me, I sleep when you sleep.” Rae said to me.

“I don't mind being your pillow baby, it makes Dom happy.” Dimitri said as he opened his beautiful warm honey colored eyes. I kissed his chest and I'm almost certain I heard a purr from deep within. I ran my hands across his chiseled abs and heard a low growl in his throat. I wanted him.

“I'm trying to behave; your parents are under the same roof. If you keep that up little bird, they won't see us until

dinner.” He groaned at me.

“I wouldn’t mind.” Rae purred at me.

“Ughh, you're right. We should probably get showered and dressed. I needed to talk with my parents and find out how long they intended to stay. Surely
