Chapter 101: Her Alpha’s Orders Chapter 100

T.J. POV

Watching the door to the Alpha’s office blow clean off its hinges and go flying across the room, he knew it was going to be Jo-anne and Clova in a fully pissed-off rage about to enter the room. It did not surprise him that her eyes were glowing pure silver either.

To see those eyes turned on him for even a moment, he knew he was no match for her in this mode. Not likely there would be many that could bring a fully ticked off Jo-Jo and Clova down, loved how she was really becoming her true self.

They were able to protect themselves now, he well imagined, he’d felt not too long ago that someone was hurting her, pulling on her hair, had refused to get up and go help her, knew deep down she could handle it herself, wanted her too. Needed her too.

She didn’t want him to be her protector anymore, it was painful for her, to have him always running to her aid at each and every instance of pain she felt. It was hard for him to ignore it, damned near killing him on the inside. But he had felt her through his connection to her that she was not afraid, was angry and getting angrier by the minute. Knew she was going to handle it on her own, had to let her. It would be what she wanted, what she needed.

He’d raised his hands up in surrender when she’d told him she would deal with him later.

Hopefully, when she was calmed down, he knew it was going to be about him outing her as his sister and making her feel ten times worse about the whole Mate-less situation.

Watching them confront West about walking away from them, taking her choice away from then even telling him that they did not choose him or Jayden, shocked him completely. Felt dread spread through him, knowing it would be the final nail in West’s coffin, he’d never survive it not without his wolf.

But then, to state she was choosing Clova, to allow her wolf to make the choice as to who was their Mate, had his heart calming down instantly.

He knew both their wolves were insanely crazy for each other, even without their Mate Bond intact, they couldn’t keep from each other. If Clova and Volt were together it would only be a matter of time before West and Jo-anne would sort things out. It was a relief.

Though he already knew that Volt had left West, he had sensed it when he’d wanted to beat the living hell out of the man for bowing out and sending her to Jayden. Would likely have killed him over it. He was damned lucky Volt wasn’t there to get into that fight with him.

Watched on with shocked eyes as the two of them outright commanded Volt to get his a*ss back here, they were not going to take no for an answer, it seemed. Screamed right in his face about the hide of him leaving them. T.J. nearly laughed as the power of the two of them out weighed everyone in this very room, including himself.

His little Jo-Jo was not so tiny and helpless anymore, a strong woman in full control. She was going to be a royal pain in the a*ss. He smiled to himself at that thought. She was a royal. His little Jo-Jo, his little sister, fully realised and kicking a*ss was going to be fun to watch. Oh, he was willing to bet she was going to be just as stubborn and painful as his own mother when she wanted to be.

Hearing Jo-Jo state she had severed the pack’s alliance with Alpha Jayden’s pack and then ask for him to be ejected, made his day. Something about that man, just ticked him off, and he was itching to get his hands on him, as was Lark “With pleasure Luna.” he’d grinned, as he addressed her with her full title and then stalked out of the office, left her with his mother and West. Whatever was about to go down in there he could find out later.

Rolled his shoulders, cracked his neck from side to side “Oh Jayden, where are you?” he called out loudly, tauntingly, as he headed up the stairs.

Mind-link to Ricky and Cole as he climbed the stairs to the first floor ‘Clova has chosen Volt. We’re ejecting Jayden, get your butts out of bed and down here.” he had no idea if they were in bed, but when they had rushed off to tell him of what West had done, giving up Jo-anne to Jayden. Cole’s hand had been on Ricky’s back the whole time, their Gamma had looked devastated to be loosing the Luna. She was his job and now she had been leaving, at least Cole would be there for him. It was clear at that moment he was trying to help his Mate through the pain. Even Ella saw it, he imagined.

T.J. had known the pair of them had been upstairs still, it was where he’d left them when he snarled his disapproval at hearing the news, he’d slammed out of his suite, where he had been with Ella, who’d been trying to tell him everything would be okay and the Jo-Jo would forgive him. He knew she would, he was just mad at himself for yelling at her the way he had.

He found Jayden on the first floor down by Jo-Jo’s door, helping his Beta up off the floor, saw the vomit and wondered if Jo-Jo was just like his mother. She’d said Jayden was a hideous man. If she could see and had used that ability on him, he would not have been expecting it, nor would he likely have been able to stop her. Bet that would have shocked him more than a bit.

T.J. could see that Ben was having trouble getting up off the ground even with Jayden trying to help him. The man was seriously injured, which made T.J. smile even bigger. It seems he was right.

His little Jo-Jo had been fully realised and had likely punched that man with all her Royal Alpha Wolf strength. Oh, he was so proud of her.

“Lookie what I found.” he called out down the hall.

Saw Jayden look up at him from down the hallway, saw his wolf surface at the threat T.J. was posing to them. He laughed right at Loch. He and Lark had already beaten them once before. “Yes, let your wolf out to play.” T.J. cracked his neck and felt Lark push forward. They spoke together “You can go peacefully or not.” they stated as they walked down the hallway.

Saw Loch back down at the two of them “Peacefully.” Jayden stated, holding up a hand when T.J. was only a room away “My Beta is injured.”

“Did he happen to lay a hand on my little sister? “T.J. asked, as Lark moved back.

Neither of them answered him, but he saw Ben’s eyes looking right at him, fear was in them.

The answer was yes. “Perhaps I should return that favour.”

“We’re leaving Beta, back off.” Jayden stood to his full height, his Alpha Aura rolled out of him and right at T.J.

Felt Lark snort inside his mind ‘Is that all he’s got?’ sounded fully amused to T.J.

‘Shall we?’ T.J. asked his wolf.

Felt Lark stand up inside his mind, shake himself out ‘Lets show this bastard, what a real Alpha Wolf feels like.’

Felt Lark push all the way forward and rolled his full Royal Alpha Aura at the man and his Beta, with all they had, Ben gasped in pain and fell down on the ground, his neck fully bared to them in a matter of a second.

Jayden stumbled back several steps. His neck stretched painfully to them as he fought against them with all he and his wolf had. “Bow down.” He and Lark growled at the man with full royal authority and watched with full satisfaction as the man dropped down on to his knees under their command, his wolf Loch snarled at them and both T.J., and Lark laughed.

He held that man and his wolf down with their power until Loch was forced down and away and Jayden was left on all fours. His head lowered towards the ground, he heard pain coming from him as he was forced to bow before a Beta.

Thought it was completely amusing to see, as did Lark, they were only Beta ranked here in this pack, but only a full-blooded royal could bring them down, or refuse them their authority. This was not something they ever did, but today it seemed appropriate, these two had harmed his little sister or tried to, and as his mother had stated, a bloody royal princess. It was his right, as it was Larks, to punish any that would harm his bloodline or try to.

Wondered briefly if the royal seers would recognise the threat to a royal even though they did not know of her, he finally released the two of them after a full minute and watched both of them visually sag when he lifted his power off them.

“You’re lucky, it was me and not my mother Jayden. She may yet come for you. If she feels you are a threat to Jo-Jo or Jo-Jo tells her you tried to harm her..did you not hear her warning last night?”

“West bowed out. She is mine to Mark and claim.” Jayden picked himself up off the floor.

“Mine”

“No she is not. It was her choice still to make. Did she choose you?”

The man was standing glaring at him now.

“No she did not. She belongs to this pack now.

Is now our Luna.” he smiled right at Jayden “Clova and Volt have claimed each other. I was asked to eject you from this pack by the Luna… called you hideous in fact.”

Heard two shocked gasps from behind him, he knew it was Ricky and Cole, they had finally arrived to assist him, not that he would really need it.

“The alliance between this pack and yours was also severed by the Luna, Alpha Westley agrees to this. It is official, get up, get your sh!t, and get the hell out of MY PACK” he yelled the last two words.

“You talk like it’s your pack, you’re just the Beta Terence, the 2nd in command.” Jayden shot at him.

“Because I choose to be, I have no need to be in charge, I am not some power-hungry creature like you. But l am more than happy to use my Alpha b***d, to throw your a*s out, if you need me to. Ricky, Cole, go and get Ben up seems to be having real issues over there, drag that man if you have to, to their room so they can pack their sh!t and leave”

“Yes Alpha.” he heard the both of them say, acknowledging his true b***d title.

“Now, Jayden. You can walk or I will walk you.” he grated out, and TJ. would walk that man, his aura rolling at him the whole time if need be.

Jayden did not miss his meaning and stalked off down the hall towards the other end of the pack house, passed right by T.J. glared at him.

“This pack is harbouring an unknown royal, Terence.” He shot at him as he banged into his room.

“Yes, and you breathe a word of it. Mother will come for you, your entire bloodline, right down to that daughter of yours if I recall correctly.”

“I don’t care about that brat, useless to me. T.J. couldn’t believe this man. How could one reject their own child and call them useless? She was in all likelihood just a small child, it was beyond him. Ticked him off. He’d lost Jo-Jo as a baby and though back then, had never known what she was to him, had loved her always. He could see that though his mother had given her up., she had never stopped loving her either.

Here was a man who had a child, the heir to his own pack no less, and he’d shunned her by the sounds of it. Perhaps that is what Jo-Jo saw.

“Then perhaps, we’ll take that brat in, raise her here. Bleed her into.. Oh say Ricky or Cole here. I’m sure they want a child to raise.”

Jayden’s eyes shot to him now, there was utter fury in them, so on a deeper level the man did care what happened to the heir to his pack. “You ever touch my child, It’ll start a war.”

“Then you’ll keep your mouth shut now, won’t you? I’m sure mother can track that child at will, is a royal seer herself, as “I’m sure you’re aware by now. And a damned god one.” He had no idea about that but the threat should be good enough to shut him up.

“l could see us with a daughter.” it was Ricky.”

Cole, what do you think about us having a little girl?

“Sure. We’re never going to get one naturally. Bleeding one to us, sounds good to me.” TJ. nearly laughed, they were either playing along with his words or actually really meant it.

Turned to look at the pair of them, they were both standing in the doorway, both had silver filigree on their necks, Marked each other apparently.

Smiled right at them “About bloody time you two did that.” and watched as Ricky’s mouth quirked up in a smile as he looked at Cole. Touched the man’s hair and pushed a loose strand of his hair back, ah so it was all out, no more hiding from anything or anyone. Good.

It must have happened in the last 10 minutes or so, Likely after Ricky lost his Luna to protect, perhaps made the two of them realise life was to short not to claim what was theirs.

It did not take long for Jayden to pack. Ben, on the other hand, was really struggling, likely had a broken breast plate and several broken ribs from the way he kept clutching at the centre of his chest.

“Andrew is still in the hospital.” Jayden shot at T.J. as he moved Ben to sit down and complete his Beta’s packing for him.

“Not my problem.” he mind-linked to Oliver and requested the man and his team to meet them out the front so that they could escort Jayden and his Beta from the pack.

“An enemy in your pack hospital?” Jayden snapped.

“I didn’t say we were enemies Jayden, just no longer allies. Unless, of course, you want a pack with 5 royal-blooded alpha wolves in it as an enemy! Do you?”

Got glared at by Jayden yet again, but the man said nothing at all, just slammed Ben’s suitcase shut and zipped it up.

Ricky and Cole helped Ben get to his feet and though they were no longer allies, did not man handle him roughly. It was clear he was really struggling with the hit he had taken, had not said a word the whole time, had not even tried to defend his own Alpha for that matter, was just trying to manage his own pain, likely letting his wolf try and heal him.

Oliver and his 5 man unit were all standing outside waiting as requested. Two cars were pulled up out the front as well, so they could escort Jayden from the pack.

Saw West come out of the pack-house, with Jo-Jo his hand in hers. It was nice to see. She did still look annoyed with him, Clova had been the one to make their choice, it was likely Jo-Jo still had something to think about or maybe reservations.

But West looked more than happy, he was smiling for all to see.

Reminded him that Jayden still had a man in the pack hospital and got the response that he would send him back the minute the pack doctor was happy to release him, likely order a human taxi to pick him up and send him back to Jayden and have the man pay for it on the other end.

Watched as the two of them headed off towards the pack hospital, he knew it was to tell the Luna, the good news. Luna Natalia was going to be very happy, likely start planning what those that would need in their nursery. Goddess West was never going to hear the end of it, until there was an heir in Jo-Jo. And the fact that she was also pregnant herself was likely going to want them to be pregnant together. Crazy Luna that they had, obsessed with babies she was.

Had already mind-linked him once to find out about he and Ella, she’d heard on her own and wanted to know when they would be producing a pup himself. He’d laughed and told her not for at least a year and a bit, not until after they Mark and Mate in one year’s time, she’d huffed in annoyance at him. Likely looking to be pregnant with someone like she had been with his mother and the Gamma and Delta’s Mates of her own Alpha’s unit.

T.J. wondered how Jo-Jo would feel about that, saw the cars off and turned to Ricky and Cole. “Guess you two missed all the fun while Marking.”

He knew there had not been enough time for them to Mate, likely he had interrupted that part when he’d told them to get their asses out of bed.

“Seems that way.” Ricky nodded “What the hell happened?”

“Come on, let’s go inside.” T.J. commented, flicked them both on their necks, right on their Mark spot to be exact “Why’d you guys wait so long?

“How’d you even know?” Cole asked him as they walked into the pack-house.

“Come on, the four of us travel together all the time, you don’t think West and I actually believe, you two are out checking the surroundings for threats every time you tell us that’s what you’re doing now, do you?” he shook his head “Or when you both suddenly leave pack territory in the middle of the night, that West or I don’t feel that.” He snorted “We’ve known for a while, though always curious as to why you never just claimed each other.” he looked to both of the questioningly.

They said nothing, he would not push them, had their own reasons. “Help me with this.” He indicated the office door, now on the floor.

“What the hell happened?” Cole asked, seemed shocked.

“Jo-Jo kicked it in, fully pissed off Alpha rage.” he told them.

“What?” they were both staring at him now.

“Like I said, you missed a lot. Jo-Jo has alpha b***d. West bowed out, as you already know, from being her Mate, some crap about she had too much to deal with. Wanted to lessen her burdens. I nearly bloody killed him. Lost his wolf over it.” saw both their eyes go wide “something went down between Jo-Jo, Jayden and Ben.

I’m still not clear on that yet, but pissed her off real good, stalked in here kicked in the door, all eyes glowing and yelled at West. She did not choose him, or Jayden. Chose Clova and her wolf wanted Volt, who’d already left West. They outright demand, with all their Alpha aura rolling at him, that Volt get his a*s back here.

It worked. Clova and Volt lay claim to each other.

Mother came in here all freaked out, yelling about them not Marking each other, goddess only knows why. She saw something, I guess, that’s all I know. I left the room to deal with Jayden.”

“Bloody hell.” Ricky stood staring at him. “Alpha blooded.” his mind was ticking T.J. could see it now, “Hang on, Jayden said we were harbouring an unknown royal, from the royals.”

“Yes and we are.” he nodded.

“No,” he saw Ricky’s eyes go wide “Jo-anne is a royal, your little sister!”

“Sh!t, well, that explains a lot about the two of you.” Cole murmured.

“Yes and Yes.” T.J. answered them “The royals are also on their way a day at the most, mother says.”

“Does your dad know?” Ricky asked.

“I don’t know, if not, mother will have to tell him,” he shrugged.

“How?” Ricky asked. His brain was still ticking.

“Long story, not mine to tell. I also don’t know it all either.”

They were all sitting in the office when West and Jo-Jo returned to the office, watched as West sat Jo-Jo in his lap. She still looked annoyed to T.J. but sat there, likely to please her wolf, he thought.

He saw Clova push forward and lean into West, rub herself on him. Her choice had been to make her wolf happy. Only one could be happy.

That thought made him frown a little. Did that mean that Jo-Jo wasn’t happy? He sighed internally, only time would tell. They had been Mated before and she had tried. West was different now, she’d seen it for herself, but it was clear she had been unhappy today with him walking away from her and Clova.

They might still have a long way to go yet. Only time would tell, in all likelihood, they would have to survive the royals first before sorting themselves out. They were only a day away, his mother had protected Jo-Jo, allowed her to be bled into another and not once had the royal seers picked up on her because of it. Now she was bled to no one and they had felt her.

He was frowning at the woman, well at Clova who was on the surface, as was Volt, he now realised, they were happily sitting in the Alpha’s chair cuddling each other, crazy wolves, even when their bond had been severed they were still attached to each other and happily mating each other in wolf form.

Frowned deeper, Jo-Jo’s bond with Heath was severed but she too, was still attached to the man.

Something else was going on, only his mother would know what though.
