Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Chapter 50

Xena's POV

"That's enough, boys," Benedict stood up to separate them.

"She needs a real alpha male to fight Tatum for her, not a beta," Ryder said with

ready to strike Ryder.

Logan quickly grabbed Samuel's arm. "ACE!" my father commanded, "Go cool down!"

Samuel stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Leonard followed him out, but Logan stayed behind.

"That was out of line, man," Logan said to Ryder, his voice tight with disapproval.

"I didn't say anything wrong. To defeat an alpha, you need alpha bloodlines. I'm her best option," Ryder replied confidently.

"Yes, sir," Ryder said without hesitation.

"You truly believe you are?" my father pressed.
