Alpha Rick
Chapter 51

Alarick

Skylar and the rogue girl stared at each other, as if it was a staring contest, making us feel awkward. The room was silent, until Blake cleared his throat, making them come out of their staring contest.

I have to say, I am a little relieved that he found this girl. A part of me was somewhat always scared that Livie could take him back if he ever realized what a pathetic excuse for a mate he has. I know it's bad, but I hope he could work things out with Leah. It benefits me that they stayed, but, this girl doesn't seem too bad. A part of me feels I have seen her somewhere before, I just can't seem to remember from where.

"Young lady. You said you could take us to the girls... what girls are you talking about, if you don't mind me asking?" Blake asked, placing his hand on his knee as he leaned forward.

"Right... I," she says, looking at Skylar. It was as if he had completely forgotten what was happening. He was dumbfounded by this girl. He chuckles lightly, lowering his head as she becomes blushed.

"My name is Madelyn DiMarco. I am the daughter of Hector and Elisa DiMarco. I'm sure you must know my father. He's alpha of Hillside Pack." she says, making the elders narrow their eyebrows. She said something I wasn't quite getting.

"A few months back, my father exiled me from my pack to give the alpha position to my stepsister, Alana, and whoever becomes her mate."

"What exactly does this have to do with the girls we are looking for?" The elder, Alpha James asked, making Skylar growl in a low tone.

"My father and his beta, Henry Swan have been torturing girls, and helping alpha Noah with the molestations of those girls. When I found out about them, my father exiled me and promised to kill me if he ever saw me again. Recently, Aloha Noah," she says, as her voice changes.

She sounded distressed, worried. Her eyes became watery, and she began to sob. "Alpha Noah has our rogue king. You have to save him. Please... I promise if you save him, I will tell you where those girls are hiding. Alpha Alarick, you of all people owe him this favor. He saved you a few times, and you know it." she says, looking at me with worry.

"Why should I help him? Why should I care if Noah has the rogue King."

"Because he is the rightful owner of the Silver Moon Pack. His name is Brandon Watson. The rightful alpha to Silver Moon Pack. He is the one that saved me and all those girls from Noah, his beta Gunther. My father and three more alphas are also with them. I can give you their names, but only if you promise to help me save Brandon." she demanded. You could hear the anger seething through her.

But her revelation shocked me. My eyes widen, as did everyone in the room. "What?" I asked, Black growled, making me feel puzzled.

T

If what she was saying was true, then that means that the rogue king is actually Livie's brother. "Fuuuuuuck!" Kaiden adds, making me give him a disdainful look. "Dude... really?" I say, making him shrug his shoulders.

"Ok... Madelyn, you said, right?" I say, lifting my hand. "Yes. My name is Madelyn DeMarco. Now- Can we please stop wasting time? He's going to kill him. Please! If Noah doesn't kill him, my father will. He knows Brandon was the one who saved me when he sent his men to kill me the first time." she says, genuinely concerned. "You have to do something!"

Damn! Things just got more complicated. "IF... what you said is true, then I will do my best to save him. But mark my words, woman, if you are lying to me, I will make sure you meet your daddy, before the end of the day. And I will leave you to fend for yourself in front of him. Got it?" was I really going to? No. Livie would kill me. Plus it wasn't my tactics. I'd probably give her asylum, and help those girls too, but I was not going to tell her that.

"I will not let that happen!" Skylar added, getting in front of her, and growling at me. Gotta say, this guy is finally growing some balls. Hope he doesn't go and fuck it up like he did with Leah and Livie. Shit, Leah. She's going to be pissed when she replaces out about this Madelyn girl.

"Then make sure she's telling the truth. I will not put the life of my wife or my pack's safety in jeopardy for some rogue we just met. Even if she is your mate. I thought I made myself clear from the start, Alpha Skylar, I will not stand for insubordination and I will not be fooled by a rogue who says she is the daughter of an alpha."

"Rick, she's telling the truth. I can sense her wolf. She has Alpha blood." my wolf, Black says, making me growl.

"Calm down, boys." my father says as he stands up, placing a hand on our shoulders.

"Look. The fact of the matter is, no one ever found Brandon Watson's body. The possibility of him being alive out there somewhere is still pretty high. We cannot just ignore this request. We need to take this up with the council asap and ask for their authorization to invade the Hillside Pack to rescue the rogue king. This can be a chance for us to kill two birds with one stone." Tyler says, making us look at each other.

"Well, we did need to apprehend them. Right? I guess we are just going to have to act sooner than anticipated." I say, making the girl's eyes light up.

"Luckily for you, sweetheart." my dad says, standing up and fixing his coat, "you have a few members of the council right in front of you, and given you only need the authorization of at least three members, which, there is. And more." he says, pointing to him, Blake, and Tyler, along with James, and the other alphas present, "You boys have our authorization to invade the pack. May our goddess and our ancestors protect and guide you," he says, nodding to us. The elders nod in agreement, as Skylar and I look at each other. "Then it's settled. Get everyone ready. There might be a war happening soon. So stay alert, and protect the women at all costs." I say, giving orders to Zane and clenching my jaw.

"I guess the gallery will have to wait?" Zane says, making me grunt. I need to keep this from Livie, but if I don't tell her what's going on, she will be so angry with me. How do I break this news to her? I am about to save the rogue king, aka, my wife's long-lost brother, Brandon Watson.
