Chapter 0157
Hector POV
"What do you want to do?" Ezra asks in the stillness of the alpha's office, in the dead of night.
The only light was the desk top lamp and the glow of the moon shining through Beckett's office window..
It had been a couple of days since Kala woke out of her coma and the doctor had carried out as many tests as he could, too many in my opinion. But not once did she complain, in fact she seemed bored of the entire situation.
"I need to leave, to go home. I can't keep her safe here not being my own pack grounds. I'm shooting in the dark."
We had received a council demand for Kaia to appear before them, to discuss the future of the pack, especially now with Beckett dead and her having not taken over the alpha title.
There was no chance in hell that I was going to let her go to the council, which I know Alpha Marc has most likely insisted on. The pack wasn't under their control, but they will want to take advantage of her current state of...forgotten mind. Things had escalated so quickly, now I had a pack on my hands full of reformed rogues waiting to learn of their own fate.
"You're still up?" Alora knocks on the office door, pushing it open to replace both Ezra and I in the dimly lit
room.
"What's wrong?" Her eyes dart to me immediately.
"We received this..." I place the document down towards the edge of the desk, letting her read it.
"What is this?"
"It's a council summons for Kaia to appear before them."
"Why?"
"They want to know, with Beckett's death, who is taking over the pack."
"That sounds like a fair request.."
"Although it isn't Alora, it's Marc trying to get close to her...trying to get the council on side. She can't stay here...it's not safe anymore." She sighs out, placing the letter back on the desk before rolling her eyes.
"Hector you're being a bit..."
"No Alora, time's up. She can continue her recovery at my pack.." I had claimed her as mine, she will have no choice but to come with me.
She backtracks, closing the office door behind her after peeking out to check the hallway was still clear,
"You're talking about taking the pack's alpha away from them. They won't survive that Hector, they adore Kaia. She is their's as much as yours." She seethes out to me. Chapter 0157

"Alpha, why don't you return and I'll remain to keep her safe." Ezra offers.
"No, I'm not leaving without my mate Ezra."
"But Alora is right Alpha, this pack won't last a day without some form of leadership. They are still anxious
from the recent attacks."
I felt responsible for the safety of this pack, for Kala's sake. But I couldn't deny the overwhelming desire
to take her home, to take her away from this pack even if just for a short time. Keep her away from prying eyes that would use her for their own power gain.
"I'll stay...I'll take on the pack." Alora boldly declares.
"What?"
"Not long term, just until Kala is ready. I'll be acting Alpha and then when she returns, I'll be her beta. I'll be by her side."
"That's a big task Alora.."
"Yes, but I need it Hector, Ineed to do this, for her and for me."
"With your permission Alpha, I'll remain, support Alora until you are ready for me to return to the Dark Phantom pack."
This might just work. Alora held as much right to the pack being the deceased alpha's daughter. She could take the pack-link on in Kaia's absence and with Ezra by her side, he would be an asset to her. "I'll send warriors, to help keep the borders clear. You will need to report into me every day though Ezra." "I'll report what I see fit to report Hector, you can trust me to keep the borders safe." Alora cuts me off. "It's not about whether I trust you Alora, the Shadow Rock pack have a vendetta against this pack as it is, plus Alpha Marc's interest in Kaia...who you are identical too."
"Yes but different in so many other ways. These are now my people, just as much as they are hers, were Beckett's. They need protecting, they need their second chance."
"So be it. Inform the doctor Ezra, that Kaia and I are leaving...as soon as our warriors are here." My command is clear.
"Yes alpha, I'll get word to the head warriors to make preparations."
"Yes
