A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 135

"Even so, you're not a wise one, Seth, and so I cannot believe everything you say, so we will talk," Aaron said to the other black-haired fellow and his voice told them there was no more negotiating. "I am your alpha and you will do what I tell you and I say stand down and let me handle it!"

"He's coming." the one with black hair announced and they stopped quarrelling and took their position on the side road while Aaron stood in the centre.

A red Toyota Corolla, which Zera knew belonged to her father, drove closer towards them. Despite the speed of the incoming car, Aaron didn't move. He stood and waited. The car drove closer, and it didn't look ready to stop.

Aaron's hand shut forward, a way of telling him to stop. At his gesture, he slowed down the car. A smile almost crossed Aaron's face, but it disappeared when he heard Tosin's voice from behind.

"Fuck this, fuck talking!" he cussed and charged towards the oncoming car, which was now a few feet away.

"No, Tosin, stop!" he tried stepping in to stop Tosin who had acted against his command to stand down, but Seth and the blonde-haired boys urged forward to hold him down while Tosin rammed into the car with a force that send it tumbling off the road.

Aaron watched with wide eyes as horror played before his eyes. "What did you just do?"

"I did what was necessary! As of this minute, you're no longer our alpha." Tosin said, and they released their hold on Aaron.

Aaron withdrew his hand from her temple and she drew a sharp breath and stared at him in disbelief. Her eyes grew glassy and she couldn't stop the tears.

"You said you killed him."

He nodded, "I did. What Tosin and the rest did was on me. I was the alpha. I led them there."

"Aaron," she started, rising to her feet, but he wasn't done speaking.

"I couldn't place my attention on the members of my pack who betrayed me. Instead, I ran off the road to the victim, whose car Tosin had thrown off." His eyes grew remorseful. He pressed his lips together and turned away from her. "I could do nothing. He died on impact."

She made her way around to stand before him. "What I saw were three men that disobeyed their alpha's command and took the laws into their hands. That has nothing on you."

"I've lived with the guilt and the troubles since then. I lost Tosin, Seth and Derek and never saw them again, not until a few months ago when I received information that they had gone to become a part of the rebellion pack."

"Was my father a hunter or was he a victim in the wrong place at the wrong time?"

"How much?"

He groaned, and his lashes fluttered. "Very much. I thought I wouldn't get the chance to talk to you or even hear your voice again." he took a step forward, closing up the space between them and his arms wrapped around her waist. "I thought I'd never get to hold you like this anymore. Or kiss you." he leaned in and his lips brushed over hers.

She sighed in contentment. "When I lost control of the car, I thought I'd never get to see your face again."

"You would always have me. I swear to you Zera."

"You swear?"

"I swear." he took her lips between his.
