The Pack's Alpha (by Cooper) novel Chapter 45

Cyra

“It didn’t take you long to find a replacement for poor Yorick, did it, Cyra?” Megan asks with a sneer as she walks up to the table.

Her hand snakes out, reaching for Hacker’s note. I fork slams down on the note, just missing Megan’s hand.

“Careful, Megan. That’s a good way to lose your fingers,” Piper growls.

“You’re a fucking bitch,” Megan growls at her.

“Don’t be jealous just because I’m getting fucked by a hot guy and no one wants to touch your skanky pussy,” Piper says, sneering at her.

I’m not the only one who snorts, trying to hold back a laugh.

Megan growls and turns, stomping away.

“You’re so fucking hot,” Zach tells her as we watch Megan go. Piper has just pulled the fork out of the table when all hell breaks loose. What looks like a SWAT team blasts through the doors of the dining hall, carrying guns and wearing bullet proof vests.

We all stand, ready to fight if this is an attack.

“Who the hell are they?” I murmur.

“They’re you in a couple of years,” Tracker says, materializing out of no where.

“They’re previous Academy graduates?” Chase asks.

“Yes. This group is part of the elite warriors, they’re specialty fighters, an extraction team. They’ve been sent by the Council to find Alpha Leo and bring him in,” she says quietly.

A large man strides in behind the others who are now going around the room, checking every door, looking at every single one of us and periodically shouting ‘clear’.

I feel Tracker go rigid beside me, and her hands clench into fists.

“Tracker?” I ask softly. Her eyes are glued to the man who just walked in. When I look, his eyes are black, and his gaze is focused on Tracker. Oh shit.

The man drags his gaze away from Tracker and looks at the room. “My name is Raptor. This is my team. We’re looking for Alpha Leo. Have any of you seen him?” The man oozes confidence and authority. He’s definitely an Alpha.

“Even the warriors have nicknames,” Zach says behind me.

“Anonymity,” Tracker murmurs. She hasn’t looked away from the man. His eyes keep glancing back at her.

“You’re welcome,” Zach says smugly to our group.

“What is the meaning of this?” Alpha Leo asks, stomping into the dining hall. Alpha Nevaeh and the other warrior instructors are right behind him. Alpha Nevaeh looks around the room ensuring none of us are injured.

“Target acquired,” Raptor says, into what looks like a walkie-talkie on his shoulder before he grabs Alpha Leo by the arm, spinning him around and pressing him against the wall, wrenching his arm behind his back. He presses a leg between Alpha Leo’s and uses his body to hold a now infuriated Alpha Leo against the wall.

“GET OFF ME! I TRAINED YOU, YOU PUP!” Alpha Leo screams.

“Raptor, what is this about?” Alpha Nevaeh asks.

“Alpha Leo, you are under arrest for suspicion of taking bribes and allowing ineligible students into the Academy. The Council requests your appearance in court on Monday morning and has requested that you be remanded into custody,” Raptor says, as one of his warriors comes over to pat Alpha Leo down, removing his belongings from his pockets before securing his wrists behind his back.

“Oh Leo, tell me you didn’t do this,” Alpha Nevaeh says.

“Intrigue, Fury, get him in the truck,” Raptor commands, which Alpha Leo begins screaming obscenities at him.

I watch two warriors step forward, each grabbing one of Alpha Leo’s arms before Raptor steps back, letting them take a furious, cursing Alpha Leo out of the building.

“Alpha Nevaeh, by order of the Council, the Academy is yours,” he says, turning to the room. “MOVE OUT!”

The group of warriors begins walking out of the room. The man looks at Tracker who hasn’t so much as flinched while all of this has been going on. He nods his head indicating that she should follow him. It’s like she’s been released from stasis and she walks across the room, the two of them stepping out of the dining hall together.

The rest of us stare at Alpha Nevaeh.

“Alright everyone. I know this has been quite disruptive, but please finish your breakfast and go about your weekend as planned. We will get to the bottom of this,” she says, looking at all of us before turning and walking out, the other instructors following close behind her.

“Holy shit!” Landon says as the room breaks into excited conversation, everyone talking about what just happened.

I grab my phone but before I can call Yorick to tell him what just happened, my phone rings. I smile when his name pops up on

my screen.

“You’ll never guess what just happened,” I say as I answer.

“I’ve got news too, you first.”

I tell him what happened and about Alpha Leo’s arrest.
