The Alpha's Bride

Chapter 331 – Alpha Of The Frostcrest Pack (2)

After finding out about his heritage, George swore that he will climb the ranks, get close to Alpha Edward, and challenge him to an official duel where he will kill him.

For a decade George studied and trained like his life depended on it.

The desire for revenge fueled him to work harder and longer than everyone else, and his Alpha genes helped him to come on top.

As his wolf started stirring, George learned to subdue his aura and not disclose that he is an Alpha. He showed just enough for everyone to know that he was strong, but not too strong because he didn't want Alpha Edward to see him as a threat.

As soon as he got a rank that allowed him a private residence, George looked for Estelle and brought her into his house to work as Omega. Estelle also identified a few other Omegas who came from the Frostcrest pack and are trustworthy, and George brought them over also. There are seven of them now who are maintaining George's villa and the surrounding area that belongs to George's property. Only Estelle knows who George really is, and other Omegas are aware that he is from the Frostcrest pack originally, so in a way, they are like a small family.

While talking with other warriors, George identified others who are sharing the same sentiments that Alpha Edward should be removed, and that the whole Redmayne family is like cancer to the society of werewolves.

Alpha Edward cares only about the ones he can use. The ones he doesn't see as worthy are treated worse than dirt.

Luna Layla doesn't care what her mate is doing, and she is not innocent either. Alpha Edward and Luna Layla don't share a bond of fated mates, and with Alpha Edward finding his release somewhere else, Luna Layla will do the same, albeit she is more discrete in doing so.

James is young and he doesn't have a desire to lead. James' results are above average in his age group, but his scores are not enviable when compared to other Alphas. Actually, James is barely holding.

As for Marcy, no one knew much other than she was in Europe. But as soon as she returned home, rumors started spreading that she is superficial and useless, just like her mother.

Every member of the Redmayne family is corrupted and only cares about themselves, and that extends to Beta Raymond and Nora. They all need to be eliminated.

Pieces were coming together and then he met Marcy.

For those few brief moments in the garden, George forgot about his revenge, and he thought that things might actually work out peacefully. Why else would the Moon Goddess pair him with the daughter of the man he was set to kill?

But then Marcy rejected him, confirming that she is shallow and corrupted just like the rest of her family.

Yes, she said that it was because her parents wouldn't approve, and it's not that George disagreed with that point, but who was Alpha Edward to challenge the will of the Moon Goddess?

If Marcy wanted to run, George would run with her (as soon as he kills Alpha Edward), but instead of coming up with ways to be together with him, Marcy's impulse was to reject him. That was something George will never be able to erase from his mind.

Rejection by a soulmate, by his other half. It took him days to process what happened and to start functioning. And it's something he will never fully recuperate from. His wolf is weakened and based on the research George did, even if he marks Marcy and she accepts him as her mate, his wolf will not heal completely. She made irreparable damage to both of them on a whim. How can he forgive that?

In stories George heard, fated mates are either together, or they die trying, yet Marcy just rejected him. He didn't see it coming.

And then he heard that Marcy will become Luna of the Dark Howlers pack and he understood everything. She rejected him because she assumed he is a lowly Omega, yet she was willing to be with Alpha Damon because he is an Alpha.

Part of him was itching to disclose his background, just to see Marcy's expression when she realizes that she rejected an Alpha, but it was not worth it. He didn't want to jeopardize a decade of hard work and meticulous planning, not now when he was so close to the goal that he can smell it.

George wanted to accept Marcy's rejection. Who would want to be tied up to a mate who doesn't want him? But then he got an idea of using that cracked bond against Marcy, even if that means it will hurt him in the process. After all, didn't he swear that he will destroy the Redmayne family? He might start from Marcy.

Back to the present…

George miscalculated how wicked Nora was, and Marcy ended up drugged.

Why was her heart rate still slowing down?

If Alpha Edward finds out that he failed to protect Marcy, George will be penalized, no matter what he achieved so far.

George saw it happen many times before.

Promotions and rewards in the Red Moon pack are rare, while punishments come with heavy consequences for the slightest error.

He could lose his position as the commander!

Marcy getting drugged under his nose was not a small thing.

What if she doesn't wake up on time? At ten o'clock in the morning, Alpha Edward will expect a status report with confirmation that they reached the Dark Howlers pack.

Damn it!

He knew that Nora was vile, but he didn't think she was stupid! At least not to this extent. Now what?

George remembered that werewolves heal faster when they are close to their mates, and he thought of testing that.

He knew that getting into the touching distance with Marcy was a bad idea, but just staring at her and hoping she will wake up wasn't a good option either.

George sat on the edge of Marcy's bed and reached to hold her hand.

Tingles ran through his fingers when their hands connected.

He frowned at the memory of them meeting the first time. He was so lost in Marcy's presence that he forgot who he was, and they ended up kissing, and it was wonderful… until she rejected him.

When they collided in the shed, things happened quickly and he was fueled by rage, but now she was asleep, and he had time to analyze what was going on.

The sparks were much weaker than he remembered, and he knew it was due to Marcy's rejection that diminished the strength of their bond.

George sneered. She rejected him and is traveling toward her bright future with Alpha Damon. Did she really think it will be easy? Doesn't she know that this is a move by Alpha Edward to increase his strength? Did she think that George will stand on the side and let it happen? If she did, she really was stupid. No wonder Nora drugged her so easily.

Seeing that just hand-holding didn't do much as her heart rate was still unusually low, George laid on the bed next to Marcy and pulled her to lean on him in an attempt to maximize their touching surface.

He hoped that this will work because he didn't want to resort to removing clothes.

Even without the mate bond, he was a man, and Marcy was an attractive female. They were alone in the room, on the bed, and if he did something, she probably won't know.

On top of that, there were still remnants of their bond between them, and that was only adding to the difficulty for George to keep his hands (and the rest of his body) in check.

At this distance, Marcy's scent that reminded him of candy was intoxicating, and he focused on his breathing and on counting Marcy's heartbeats.

It took him a minute to relax slightly. Her heartbeats were speeding up slightly. It was working.
