Bound To My Ruthless Alpha

Mia

Something was off. No, not just off but wrong.

I had left the pack house early this morning before every other person was up for my daily run, so I couldn't think of anything that may have caused the dull and quiet atmosphere.

The pack house was unusually quiet as I made my way through to the kitchen. Of course, there was a full house but everyone was acting so weird. What was wrong?

Was there a fight? Oh my gosh, if there was then I had missed out a great deal.

I couldn't think of anything that may have caused this reaction from the wolves but I better don't ask to avoid getting a sly remark this early in the morning. Whatever is responsible for their moodiness is their problem to solve not mine. I walked past Sophie, my biggest enemy in Gyde Pack and we couldn't help but glare and seethe at each other. It was a surprise that she didn't have a rude remark for me this morning over being wolfless which confirmed my suspicions that something was definitely wrong.

"Morning, Bels. What's up?"

My best friend was frying pancakes over the stove and I inhaled deeply, taking in the savouring aroma.

"I bet that's going to be yummy as always." I said as I slid over a chair at the counter.

Bella shot me a stare. "And who said this is for you?" She joked but I caught the strained tone she tried to cover up.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I stole one pancake she had fried. "The pack house is unusually quiet. Is everything alright?"

"Nope."

My eyes widened in alarm, and I gave her a questioning eyebrow.

"Alpha Edward is around and is having a meeting with your father over the pack alliance he has always been pressing for."

My mouth fell open for a minute then I closed it back and stole another pancake and began munching on it.

"And that's what got everyone so quiet and weird?" I asked with an eye roll. I get that Alpha Edward is the most ruthless Alpha in the region but that doesn't mean he should be feared like he's a god. I've never seen him before but one doesn't have to see Alpha Edward to learn of his brutality.

I stole one last pancake before sliding down from my seat.

"Y'all should have a nice day. But I'm not going to let the presence of one notorious werewolf ruin my plans for the day."

"Mia!" She called out in a harsh whisper.

I frowned as I faced her with a bored look.

"Your father is not having it nice today. He's tense, nervous and is almost freaking out and we all are. So please, keep it on the low side today."

Of course, being wolfless makes me disconnected from the Pack's link so I don't get to know when others are feeling down or when my annoying father is having a hard time with pack duties, blah, blah, blah...

"I. Don't. Care." I said and walked away then bumped into Lewis.

"Hey, Cupcake."

My second most favourite wolf in the pack beamed a smile at me before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
