Filed to story: Luna Lovette and Alpha Kodak Story
“So the guys who interfered in the attack stopped it before it even started,” presumed Martin.
Lovette frowned. “What guys?”
A smile curved Kodak’s mouth. “The ones who supposedly stumbled upon you being attacked and kicked the wolves’ asses.”
She laughed. “I can’t say I blame them for that sweet little lie.”
Martin’s brows pulled together. “Then who was responsible for their injuries?”
“Oh that would be Lovette,” replied Dante, his pride in his Alpha female clear in his voice and his grin. The other males wore similar smiles of pride.
A curvaceous peroxide blonde female who Lovette noticed was eyeing up Kodak like he was a snack snickered. “
She did it? Her?” Her voice rang with scepticism.
Lovette felt a spike of anger. “
Her is standing right here and is Alpha female of this pack. I’m also very, very close to wiping the floor with your face for ogling my mate. Would you like that?”
Kodak doubted that he would ever find it any less amusing to watch the shock on people’s faces when his little mate let her bitchy attitude come out to play. Quickly the blonde averted her gaze and edged closer to Martin. Each of the wolves of Kodak’s old pack once again appraised his mate, seeing not the delicate tiny female she appeared at first glance to be, but the tough, strong, powerful alpha that she truly was.
“Well, well, well…This is quite a turn out.” Greta came to stand beside Lovette, her arms folded and her expression judgemental and suspicious. Don, Nick, and Derren were now behind them. “Shame none of you bothered to visit us sooner. Like fifteen years ago when a teenage boy was banished instead of being given his place as Alpha.”
Some of the wolves did look a little shamefaced, but not enough to satisfy Lovette.
A male who was basically an ancient version of Cam stepped forward, staring at Greta adoringly – Lovette smiled, brows raised, as the old woman blushed. “You look well, Greta. We just wanted you all to know that it wasn’t the pack as a unit acting against you or your mate, Kodak. Not all of us agree with Darryl’s challenge. Of course we’d love for the pack to again be whole, but not for it to happen like this.”
A roundish, greying woman spoke in a placatory tone. “We may not have been much help to you all those years ago, but we wouldn’t wish you harm.” Her gaze settled on Dominic. “I certainly wouldn’t want anything for my nephew other than happiness.”
The other wolves here, including Trick’s parents who were staring at their son with glittering eyes, nodded in agreement. Kodak was surprised to see them given that they had been loud supporters of his banishment – an attitude that had backfired when their son left along with him. Even with their seemingly harmless behavior, however, neither he nor his wolf was happy about them being around Lovette. “Well, you’ve seen that she’s alive and well. Now you can go.”
Dante’s older brother, Josh, who was ironically much smaller than Dante spoke up then. “I was sort of hoping I could talk to my bro, you know. It’s been a while.”
“Whose fault is that?” said Dante, sounding deceptively aloof.
Kodak looked at Josh incredulously. “You don’t honestly think I’d allow anyone from the Bjorn Pack near Lovette after what happened yesterday, do you?”
“Kodak, come on man, you can’t think we’d hurt your mate.”
“I take it that red-headed female you’re holding is your mate?”
Josh nodded. “Yeah. We mated a few months ago.”
“Then you should have a pretty good idea of how I’m feeling right about now.”
“None of the wolves you see here would hurt her, Kodak,” vowed Martin.
“I won’t take chances where my mate’s concerned. Her safety is my first priority, and right now my intention is to be more vigilant than ever. Fortunately Darryl had greatly underestimated Lovette and she was unharmed despite his efforts. If there’s a next time, he won’t underestimate her, and I don’t intend for there to be a next time.”
“Kodak?” It was spoken in a low, gentle, appealing tone by a very thin, dark, middle-aged woman who was gazing at him in a motherly way, surprising Lovette. “I can understand you being a little surprised by us showing up like this, but you know that I’d never do anything that would hurt you or yours. You trust that, don’t you?”
It was clear to Lovette that the woman was very much expecting the answer to be ‘yes’ and she wondered why.
Kodak narrowed his eyes at the woman. The affectionate way Viv was looking at him was making him uncomfortable. “No. The only people in this world I trust to never betray me are those you see standing with me here. If any of you take offence to my not welcoming you all into my home with open arms, I don’t much care. I’m extremely protective of what’s mine, but I won’t let Darryl trick me into losing control and attacking him for going after Lovette – you might want to pass that on.”
Martin seemed to think on that for a moment and then nodded. “Going by the fact that you didn’t lose control…Does this mean you’re not as, um…impulsive…as you once were?”
Kodak had to smile. Impulsive wasn’t the right word, but he knew what Martin was getting at. He went with the truth. “No, it doesn’t mean that at all. It just means that Lovette keeps me calm.”
“Why did you do it, Kodak?” Trick’s dad’s tone was soft, not condemning. “Why did you almost kill your father, your Alpha?”
Kodak simply shrugged, not willing to explain himself to any of them. “Because he deserved it. Deserved it so much that I’d do it again if he was alive.” Oddly, that seemed to be a good enough answer for Michael.
Uma, Trick’s mom, on the other hand, wasn’t so satisfied. “You owe us more than that. You owe us an explanation as to why we missed our son growing up.”
Oh she did not just say that!
