Chapter 62 Ava: Homecoming (IV)

This is insane.

This can't be happening.

My feet carry me from one end of my room to the other as I pace, nibbling ferociously on a nail as I think.

Alpha Renard's sons have all died. I'm not sure on the circumstances of the first two, but the third one died a few years ago in a skirmish with rogue wolves. He's had no success in bearing a new child, with no pregnancy making it to the end—so Phoenix was brought in as the alpha heir, due to his alpha level of strength.

But, from what I've heard, the alpha still has multiple lovers. Dad and Phoenix have talked about how Phoenix cannot walk with arrogance in the pack, because Alpha Renard is still seeking to create a new heir.

It's an open secret within the pack, but I've never spent time thinking about it before.

Now, I am, and the implications make me want to vomit.

He knows I'm an omega by birth. If that's so, isn't my ability to carry a baby to term much better than that of other she-wolves? Wouldn't it be easier for me to get pregnant? The omega designation is not given to the weakest in our pack—though they are—but to the ones mated off for the purposes of bearing pups.

He'd already planned for me to mate with more than one of our warriors. Now, is he on that list with them?

Or has he taken over the list?

It doesn't matter; neither option makes it okay.

No wonder Todd and his cronies kept their hands off me. Alpha Renard's intentions are already known.

Fuck.
