I was Kidnapped for Revenge by a Ruthless Alpha

AMBROSE’S POV:

After everything I confessed to Damon about Onyx claiming Odette as our fated mate. I felt better about this. But Damon looked conflicted at one point.

Does he want our mate?

No, Onyx, there’s no way that possible. He just gives a little too many shits about mine and Raven’s relationship and my reputation.

I would never have accepted her. I tolerated her presence and now that we have a mate, I won’t tolerate her. My wolf scoffed.

"The pack members are currently waiting for us in the meeting room. We should go." Damon reminded me.

He was right, last night the pack lost both their alpha and beta and defended against a major rogue attack last night. The pack was probably in chaos. I had to pick a new alpha, since the current one’s family is being stripped of their titles. I’ll have to line up all the alpha ranked wolves, if there are any left.

I nodded and we left the room.

The meeting room was backed to the brim with people yelling across the table.

However, when I walked in the room quickly quieted and everyone took their seat.

"I’m sure you know why you’re all here." I said taking a seat in the alpha’s chair "Last night the rogue’s attacked and you were without a pack alpha, that can be dangerous and risky."

"You will be assigned a new alpha, Micca Garrenhal has been found guilty of treason. And before he could be sentenced, he abandoned his duties and his pack in the middle of a rogue raid."

"I will need a list of every alpha ranked shifter in the pack. I need all of their associations, record, and medical history. I will need references and to speak to them in person. I will be staying longer than expected, so I will need better accommodations arranged. After the new alpha is promoted and settled in, that’s when I will depart, until then... don’t do anything stupid."

"Alpha King Ambrose, if I may?" A council man asked.

"Speak." I answered sharply, I spoke with a tone of controlled authority.

"Will be investigating Micca’s treason, and his escape?" he asked.

"I will present the evidence to the council, and no. Let him freeze to death or join the rogues, if he can. I am issuing an expulsion and execution warrant. If he is seen he is to be killed on sight."

"Understood, Alpha King Ambrose. You’re request will be met, we will round up the information you’ve asked for and deliver it by tomorrow afternoon. Please allow us the time to properly acquire the information you seek." Another council member asked with a cautious tone.

"I would like to inquire about the white-haired girl who fought last night. We’ve heard concerning rumors that she’s a vampire and is now under your protection?" A council woman with glasses spoke with no regard for her tone, which instantly aggravated me.

A sinister smile rose to my cheeks. This woman would pay for her insolence later.

"She is a vampire. A powerful one. One that even collared with no magical abilities managed to destroy several rogues and took three arrows in the back protecting one of the pack children during the raid." I didn’t hold back with my threatening tone, and I let my alpha aura spread through the room, forcing everyone into submission.

"You will do well to remember that the vampire with me is my secret weapon, my pet, my prisoner, and my little princess. She is under my care and protection, to question or harm her is a direct assault against your king and the punishment for the offense will be the same. Am I understood?"

You should have announced she’s also our mate and future luna queen.

You’re getting ahead of yourself. I didn’t agree to that.

I have no doubt you will, or I’ll never shut up about it.

You’ve become insufferable.

And you’ve become blind and arrogant, ignoring the mate bond is not the move.

I’m not ignoring the bond, I’m just not giving her the title of a Luna. Go away, I’ve got more important matters right now.

"But Alpha King is that really necessary, she’s just a disgus..." Before he could finish his sentence, I had cleared the table and grabbed hold of his throat slamming us and the chair down.

"You question your Alpha King?"

He was trembling under my grip, his eyes were bulging and his lips bluing quickly, he grabbed at my wrist and pushed up on my shoulders, struggling under the pressure I was applying to his neck.

I felt my wolf surface, "You will mind your tongue in my presence and remember your place and do not dare speak ill of my woman."

And there he goes blowing our cover. So much for keeping things on the downlow.

The room stilled and the air staled as they just watched while I choked the life out of this man.

He started coughing as the sir rushed into his lungs.

I let go and punched him square in the face. "Let that broken jaw remind you to keep your mouth shut. Go see a healer, you’re dismissed."

The man howled in pain.

I got off him and strolled back over to my seat. Holding the same look of cold indifference, I held before he opened his shithole mouth.

The man rolled over and scrambled to his feet, rushing toward the door, holding his slacking jaw. His face was red and already swelling.

"Anyone else, have a useless opinion they wish to share? Or do we need a second reminder of the consequences." I growled low but threatening.

I glanced over the room with a hardened and oppressive glare. No one dared to look up.

Silent cowards now.

"She is to be treated with dignity and respect. She is the pureblood princess. Odette Drakarys, Princess of Darkness and heir to the vampires. And she is mine." I let her identity settle in, let the weight of her title rest over the room.

"Don’t tempt fate, and don’t fuck around and find out."

"But sire..." I silenced the man with one sharp glare in his direction.

"Back to the matters at hand. I need your findings no later than lunch tomorrow. That is me being generous. Don’t disappoint me."

"Understood Alpha King Ambrose." An older council man with a long beard bowed his head in respect.

"Good. Now to move on to the next thing on our agenda." I said and Damon on que handed me reports.

"I have the current death and injured records, with the list of damages at this moment. I am going to assign everyone an area where I need you to manage and direct."

I read the list of people and their designated tasks. Some looked disappointed some were glad to have decent direction for a change, this pack must have really been neglected and overlooked. I should have stepped in sooner.

"You all have you designated assignments. Dismissed." I ended the meeting after 2 hours and headed back to my room.

Walking down the hall to my room, her scent hit me first. Wild strawberries.

Arriving I could smell 3 different people in my room.

Without knocking, I enter the room and went silent.

I glance over the room and my eyes fall on her and I felt like I had just been punched right in the chest. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

She was a literal knock out. Even with no makeup and messy hair, her looks could kill.

Her hair fell down her shoulders like liquid moonlight, her skin was glowing, her lips still puffy and swollen.

I could see I affected her too, her eyes dilated, and her cheeks flushed, giving her this beautiful rosy, pink hue to her face.

A chuckled escaped me, I couldn’t help it. She looked too damn cute with that look of shy embarrassment.

"Did I interrupt some important girls meeting?" I asked with a light teasing tone.

"Not at all, my king." The servant girl, Ariel said stepping aside. I noticed there was the little girl from last night standing in my room. Seems she found her way here.

A smile crept up my face when I thought about last night, and she noticed it too.

I can feel their eyes shifting between me and her, and as if getting the message Emalea spoke first, "I have lunch to prepare, I will leave first." Emalea rose from my bed, bowed and left.

The servant girl Ariel grabbed the hand of the little girl from last night and quickly scooted the girl out both bowing as they leave.

Now it was just the two of us.

Alone.
