The Alpha's Bride

Chapter 1036  Young Alpha Violet (9)

Violet entered the second living area, which was occupied by teens and other youngsters.

It was a big open room with a pool table, a dartboard, pinball machines, a VR area, and a big TV secured to the wall with a bunch of beanbags spread on the floor for the viewers. A table for card games was on the right, and there were several sofas to accommodate kids of school age and above.

The wet bar had two Omegas ready to serve youngsters with drinks and snacks and to clean any accidental messes.

The nursery was next door with most of the kids under four years old. They had several Omegas there on childcare duty to ensure no one gets hurt, and whatever else was needed.

When Violet appeared at the door, almost everyone stopped what they were doing, and turned to look at her.

Nine-year-old Benjamin and seven-year-old Samuel approached Violet and saluted her.

"We are here to guard you, Alpha Violet," Benjamin said seriously.

Violet regarded them for a moment. "Just because your parents are guarding my mother, doesn't mean you need to guard me." Ben and Sam were sons of General Keith and General Arya, two personal guards of Alpha Natalia who accompanied her whenever she left the pack territory on official business. They wanted to accompany her all the time, but the word was that Alpha Natalia was skilled in giving her guards a slip.

Seeing that Samuel's expression fell at Violet's rejection, she quickly thought of something to mend the situation, "I know you are ready for duty, but this is a party and everyone is a friend. I give you the rest of the day off. I expect to see you ready for duty tomorrow morning."

Benjamin and Samuel grinned and then they returned to the area where the VR was set up.

Violet counted more than twenty heads present and she rolled her eyes at the sight of two teens locked in a wrestling match among beanbags.

"Lavender," Violet called while making her way there. "That's not very ladylike."

Lavender was on top of Ethan who was lying face-down, and she was holding his arm behind his back in a deadlock. "Ladylike? I'm not a lady. I'm a she-wolf. Ethan was mean and my mom told me to stand up for myself."

"Everyone knows that Beta Mindy is a strong she-wolf, but she doesn't engage in brawls during parties," Violet said diplomatically while trying to defuse the situation. Lavender was known as the hot-headed troublemaker, and no one dared to say anything to her because her mother was a Beta with an Alpha bloodline, while her father was the famous Shaman Gideon.

Lavender raised her head and grinned. "You are right. Mom is more discrete." She looked down at Ethan. "You are lucky that Vi came to save you."

Ethan groaned. "You are lucky to be a girl. As a gentleman, I can't make myself whoop your ass."

about how Mindy never had a filter, and it seemed that Lavender got that from her mother.

"You shouldn't bother with Lavender," Scarlet said to Violet from the side. "Let Alpha Ethan handle "You think you can whoop my ass?"

"I wouldn't dare touch my cousin," Ethan said right away. "People will think I'm a perv."

"Every Alpha is a perv," Lavender retorted. "My mom said so. You are just too young to feel it. Soon, the testosterone will start working and all you can think of will be how to get a woman in bed and stick your..."

"Lavender!" Violet called in outrage. "You can't talk like that in front of kids." Violet heard stories about how Mindy never had a filter, and it seemed that Lavender got that from her mother.

"You shouldn't bother with Lavender," Scarlet said to Violet from the side. "Let Alpha Ethan handle his cousin. Come with us, we prepared your favorite strawberry lemonade."

Violet turned to see that Page was bringing a red-colored drink and a bowl with chips to the coffee table and Robin was chasing from the sofa Logan, Zeke, and Kerry, saying that was Violet's favorite spot and they needed to scram. Well, that was Violet's favorite spot.

Lavender stood up from Ethan and crossed her arms over her chest while glaring at Scarlet. "You think that by serving her she will pick you to be her Beta?"

Scarlet shrugged. "Is there something wrong with wanting to serve my Alpha? You, on the other hand, might want to think if you are a Beta material with getting into trouble all the time."

Lavender's eyes flashed in outrage. "How am I getting into trouble?"

Scarlet pointed where Ethan was lying a second ago. "Fighting." She pointed at Lavender. "Bickering. Talking out of order. If I'm an Alpha, I wouldn't want a loose cannon by my side."

Lavender pointed an angry finger at Scarlet. "Say that again, I dare you!"

Scarlet shook her head. "You are only proving my point, Lavender. Maybe I should tell Shaman Gideon to spend more time educating his eldest daughter, and less time on…" Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Scarlet's voice trailed when Lavender's aura pressed on her.

Lavender sneered. "You were saying?"

Violet waved her hand, and Lavender's aura dispersed like someone popped a bubble.

"That's not allowed," Violet said sternly.

"She insulted my father!" Lavender exclaimed.

"That doesn't give you the right to bully her. Apologize!"

Lavender pressed her lips into a line defiantly, but she couldn't refuse. "I'm sorry," she squeezed through her teeth, but the fire in her eyes told Scarlet this was not over. "Wait until Vi is not around."

Scarlet lifted her chin proudly. "I will accept your challenge anytime if you stop using your aura whenever you are at disadvantage. MY father taught me how to fight fairly."

Lavender snorted, turned on her heel, and stormed out.

Violet looked at the door dejectedly.

"Her pride was hurt but she will be alright," Ethan said.

Violet raised her gaze to meet Ethan's. "Why don't you talk to her?"

Ethan raised his hands defensively. "If she won't listen to you, why would she listen to me?"

"Violet!" An excited cry was heard from the door and two twelve-year-olds came in. They were Faith and Hope, daughters of Doctor Travis and Doctor Olivia. "Your mom said we can find you here."

Violet glanced at the door. "Is Mason not here?"

Faith made a face. "We told him that he is five years old now and that means he is a big boy."

Violet didn't get it. "So?"

Hope responded, "That caused a meltdown with a lot of screaming about how he wants to stay a baby, and now he won't let go of mom."

Violet thought how that was funny, but her mood dropped in an instant when Faith and Hope turned to greet Ethan.

Twins were one year younger than Violet, yet they looked more mature, and she would be blind to not see the sparkles in Faith's and Hope's eyes as they talked to Ethan. The exaggerated giggles grated her nerves, and she took deep breaths while telling herself she shouldn't be bothered.

Two preteens entered the room, these were Ryan and Tyler, Commander George's sons. Ryan and Tyler were tall and imposing for their age. Their father never took his spot as the Alpha, but just looking at Ryan and Tyler, it was obvious they had an Alpha bloodline.

Jocelyn, Xandra, and Noah entered the room. Jocelyn was a twelve-year-old future Alpha of the Lightclaw pack, and Xandra and Noah were her siblings. Their arrival meant that Alpha Anthony and Luna Kalina were here, and also that Ethan had two more girls sticking to him.
