Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 36

*KADE*

*THE DAY SIA LEAVES SILVER MOON*

Guilt weighed on me as I returned from the hospital where the doctor told me there was nothing wrong with Sia. As a healer, her body could repair itself once she rested after doing so much work in the pack hospital today.

I hadn't wanted to force her to work at the hospital but I knew this was a sure way for people to appreciate her in the pack. She'd been trying to win everyone's approval before but with time, I saw her give up. It was not a secret that she wanted to be loved, with how readily she did whatever was asked of her, no matter how degrading, but over the last year, she had started to withdraw from the pack. It was how I knew she had given up on Silver Moon.

My phone rang then and I picked it up from the nightstand.

"Alpha! There are vandals destroying things in the pack!" One of my warriors shouted into the phone once I picked up.

"Goddamit!" I grabbed my keys from the desk beside my bed and dashed out of my room. These vandals must be looking for a quick death for them to try to destroy the properties in my pack!

I was directing my warriors on how best to approach the situation when the attacking hoodlums started to retreat. They shouted, waving twigs and machetes in the air as they held their trousers and ran off, jumping into the vehicles they came in.

"That's right! Run, you fools!" A girl who had been trying to enter the pack house shouted at the retreating men.

Those around who had been trying to find a place to hide a minute ago turned to see the men fleeing. They abandoned their quest to hide and started to insult the men, jeering at them.

"Something is wrong," Flint said but I didn't need him to tell me.

"Why the hell are they retreating all of a sudden?"

Vandals like these had increased in the werewolf community over the years as more and more wolves left their pack. There was no clear-cut manner to deal with them since they were not rogues so we could not just murder them in cold blood. They were like wolves bonded together to form criminal gangs. They would not just attack and leave without carting away something expensive or robbing enough people while pretending to fight.

"Alpha Kade, the vandals are retreating," my Beta came to stand beside me and I almost growled in his face.

"I can see them, Beta Markus." Beta Markus was due for retirement and he got on my nerves with his know-it-all attitude but until I found someone suitable to be my Beta, I would have to make do with him.

"Investigate this matter. I want to know what prompted this attack and what they must have taken from us." I turned and walked back into the pack house. The wing of the house which they set on fire was far from mine and the fire had already been put out. I was going to sleep off this crazy day!

"Sia," Flint whispered. "I can't feel Sia!" He growled. "Kade, they may have taken her!"

Fuck! How did I not realize that sooner!?

I called all the head warriors and trackers and instructed them to find Sihana. None understood why I was so concerned about finding her until I growled at them.

"She is my mate. Find her before anything happens to her if you want to keep your heads!" I growled at the bastards gawking at me.

I shifted as the warriors left, allowing Flint to tear through to search the pack lands. It was already three in the morning, a full hour after the vandals retreated.

"Why did they take her? What could they possibly want from her?" I mused as Flint covered the distance in a shorter time than usual.

"You bastard, she is a healer!" He growled at me. "Do you know how rare healers are? Another pack must have taken her!" He screamed, racing at full speed.

We had no destination in mind but my wolf would not rest until we found a lead.

"Please be safe, Sihana," I mumbled. "Goddess, protect her." If anything happened to her, I may not survive.

"You should have hidden her, Kade! Why would you make her work for the public, exposing her like that!" Flint growled.

"I was only trying to help her!" I shouted back at my wolf. "This is the only way she can earn the respect of the pack and I know how much she wants them to accept her!"

Flint ran for hours, almost till midday, but we did not catch so much as a faint scent of her. It was as if she vanished off the face of the earth.

"Son, you can't continue to do this." My father barged into my room as I got out of the shower after running nonstop throughout the day.

"I'd like to see you try to stop him," I growled at my father, infusing some of my Alpha's command in my tone. "Get out of my way." I pushed past him but he grabbed my shoulder.

"You are worrying the pack running around all day like this. Please, calm down and let the experts find her. We have the best trackers –"

"Alpha Warren," I called my father by his name with anger blazing in my guts. "Do not put your hands on me ever again."

"Kayden Warren!" He growled. "How dare you talk to your father like that!?"

"Father?" I shouted back at him. "You are the reason I waited so long to be with Sihana! You're the reason my mate is not my mate!" I shouted at him. "Do you know what she told me two nights ago?" I screamed, my face going red and Flint pushing to the forefront.

My emotions were stung high at this point and he was making it worse by treating me like a little boy. Had he forgotten that I was the Alpha already? My word was law in this pack, not his!

"Kayden, watch your tone with me! I wasn't there when you rejected Sihana so how is it my fault?" He too shouted, his eyes flashing the red of his wolf for a split second

"You did not have to tell me to reject her!" I shouted again. "Who was it that told me never to mate with an omega?" I demanded from him. "You're the one who always said I was not allowed to taint the bloodline. You're the one that always berated my mother for being a beta and not an alpha like your mother!"

My father was obsessed with keeping the family full of Alphas. He would always berate my mother for being a Beta and giving him a Beta daughter, telling her to thank her stars that I did not come out a Beta. He always reminded me that I could not mate with anyone but an Alpha. He even introduced me to Avalon!

"You can't shift the blame, Kade!" He shouted. "Yes, I educated you as a father should educate his son and I am not sorry for that. I would never support you mating with an omega who can give you

omega children and I am not sorry. Who will become the Alpha after you if you end up with an omega son? It is my duty as the Alpha of this pack to ensure we always have a leader ready to take over!" He had become red in the face but his words served no purpose other than to enrage me further. I wanted to hit something just from looking at his face - his unapologetic face.

"It's a good thing I am the Alpha of this pack, not you," I said to his face. "You are nothing but a washed-up Alpha. Protecting this pack is my duty now. I will find Sihana and I will mate with her while you wither inside as a prejudiced old man!"

I stormed out of the room, my shoulder hitting his as I went. I saw my mother and sister huddled outside the doors looking pale and anxious. When had my mother even returned from her tour with one of her many boyfriends? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

A sharp pain stung my chest as I was about to walk past them. I doubled over, clutching my chest.

What the hell?

"Flint, what is happening?" I asked my wolf who was howling in pain, bearing the brunt of the sharp sting piercing into us.

"Someone – Someone is having sex with our mate!"

Those were the last words I heard before I blacked out. When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the severance of the thread that linked my wolf with Sihana. I opened a mind link with her but she slammed it shut. I opened another one but she cursed me out and closed it again.

"We need to go to Alpha Blood." Flint urged me.

Could Alpha Cahir –

I did not want to believe it but after searching for her for another day, I booked a flight to Alpha Blood. The earliest flight was in two days and as I booked, it seemed a lot of people were booking also as the site kept lagging. Seats were vanishing every time I refreshed the page. Then I found out that they were hosting a Luna Ceremony and they had invited the general public.

Could that bastard –

I went all the way to Alpha Blood pack to see it with my own eyes and when I got there, they were about to start her initiation. The initiation that would break her bond to Silver Moon!
