The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 24

Rafe POV

Rafe walked with Jack and Addison out to the lake, she’d told Orien to stay out of it and away from Luci, had snarled right at her own Mate, pure Alpha aggression aimed right at her Mate. Rafe had seen the way her eyes had glowed just a little. He’d never seen that before, where she was concerned. Neither had Orien from the look of shock on his face.

The man had stalked away from her in the end. She could make that man bow down, he’d seen it yesterday, but that glow was something else altogether. Their family unit was being torn apart by Addison’s need to find her daughter, to her first Mate. And Orien’s need to keep Thatcher as his heir. Orien didn’t want Luci to take over his Pack; she wasn’t his child. The man had no idea just how powerful Luci was; she’d made Solar bow his head to her authority, didn’t even know if she had been trying to do that or just trying to make sure he listened to her, was pretty certain it was the latter. Luci held more power than her own Alpha, likely Orien and any other Alpha out there that was not pure-blooded and even those that were would likely find her one hell of a challenge. She was a double shifter or Truine as Hannah had told them, whatever that was. Likely more power in her than anyone he knew.
