The Pack: Rule Number 1 – No Mates

Chapter One Hundred–Three

DOMONIC

Once Cadence finished sewing Gabriel’s hand back on it took twenty full minutes the appendage to start healing. Once it did, he could wiggle his fingers, but the skin of his hand remained gray, just another sign that Gabriel doesn’t have even a drop of Alpha blood anywhere in his veins.

An Alpha wolf is built stronger in every sense of the word. We heal quicker, grow faster, jump higher, fight harder – we even have bigger dicks – I mean, I haven’t taken any measurements, but it sounds right. My eleven brethren all have a little Alpha in their blood, Beta wolves, like Paul and Koda, are more than domiriant enough to lead their own packs, and despite that they know this, they still choose to follow me. It’s also found that the strongest Gamings come from some type of Alpha lineage. Which is why they are the generals, the soldiers, and the warriors to the Alpha and Beta commanders of the pack. But the twelve of us regardless of status – have always been a team. From the time we were small, we have been equals despite the Gilles we were born with.

“The helicopter is en route,” Grant says, hanging up his cell. He called the tire station in Port Orchard to have them fly their helicopter out for our use. “Don’t know how we’re going to explain this, but lucky for us, Jaimie is the pilot. He knows there’s something different about me because he once caught me scaling a bare–handed vertical up the side of Blackjack mountain – while trying to put out a fire–but he plays it cool. He won’t ask any questions.”

“Perfect,” I say, glancing toward Cadence who for some reason hasn’t stopped staring at me since she arrived. “Thanks for your help. You

can go.

Cadence’s bright blue eyes shift back and forth as she tosses her honey blonde tresses out of her face. The heavy locks shift back and forth fust above her shoulders with each shake of her head “Don’t you think I should go with you? I mean what if Draven needs medical attention?

My brow furrows = she does have a point, but I’m not peal comfortable with the way she’s been eye–fucking me since she got here. Her body language is telling me that she might cause trouble. Not because I’m attracted to her – but because she’s obviously attracted to me.

“It would be good to have a female in hand when we get to the compound,” Gabriel says. “Otherwise, my early arrival will make Jason suspicious. If I bring her“-he pauses to sneer-“1 can pretend she is my captive. They already know that I don’t like the bitch, and they won’t question it.”

“Fuck you, asshole,”

Cadence quips.

“Likewise bitch,” he growls.

“Enough of that,” Paul scolds, before turning to me. “We probably should bring her, Paul grumbles, sending me a look that says any choice.

“Right,” I say. “Okay.” Turning to face her, my jaw clenches. “Let me warn you right now. Im not like any other Alphas you may know. I don’t give the slightest fuck about diplomacy. If you upset my girl… even a little bit whether you mean to, or not – Ill toss you out into the wind and I don’t care if we’re fifty feet from the ground or a thousand.”

She flinches, her eyes flashing with anger. “I would never,” she says with a purse of her dainty lips
