The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 15 (Unknown POV)

“Alpha, why are we here?”

I lift my nose in the air. “Don’t you smell her?” I ask. He’s not an Alpha, so maybe he can’t smell what I’m smelling.

“Uh, what am I smelling?” he asks, sniffing the air.

“There’s a second female Alpha. This one seems to be alone, or at least, not part of a pack. I smell family, but no other pack members.”

My father was an Alpha, his mate was a female Alpha. Not my mother. My mother was a worthless human who did nothing worthwhile on this planet other than give birth to me before she died. And then, my father was murdered, and our pack was lost. The pack I was owed, the pack I deserve.

I had intended to take the other female Alpha, but now that there are two, I can much more easily capture and mark this one. I may have been young when my father died, but he taught me everything he knew about catching and claiming a female, specifically catching an Alpha female.

“We’ll have to get around the patrols. Tell the others to stay here. Keep everyone quiet. I’ll get in, snatch her up and get out. Once she’s marked, there’s nothing anyone can do about it,” I tell him.

“Sure thing, Alpha,” he says, as the wolves behind him begin fighting over the scraps of the last bear we killed. It’s the only animal big enough to fill their voracious appetites.

“Quiet them down. NOW!” I order my warrior.
