The Alpha & Beta's Regret
The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 20

Victor POV

Oh, it was too good to be true, his men had filmed Addison out there by the Black Forest Pack with that prick, Alpha Rafe, openly discussing Luci. It was now clear to him that the girl was missing, she had run off away from that pack.

That was much better for him, he just needed to locate her before they did. Addison was there to help them get Luci back, return her to their pack. There was no doubt about it in his mind, she had always been really close to her mother. No surprise there.

But seeing Addison and Rafe go to the lake. His heart was hammering inside of his chest. Saw that woman staring at it. Victor knew who she really was. Finally, he was going to get just what he wanted. Watching Addison by that lake confirmed everything in his mind.

Luci was going to be his, he knew just how to take her down too. Watching that video footage, he couldn’t stop smiling at all. Her little girl was finally realised, and she was just learning it for the first time. What she didn’t know was that he, Victor, was going to get to her first and claim what was rightfully his. Should have always been his.

Now he just needed to hunt one runaway Alpha-blooded female, and bring her right into his pack. Make her his Mate and breed the hell out of her. He’d finally get the perfect heir, so damned strong for his pack. A ruthless killing machine it would be.

Though only one problem he saw, convincing her of this was going to be the biggest problem, she was not one to be messed with and he knew it. Had seen her power and it had been on full display. Was likely going to need some sort of leverage over the girl. Victor didn’t think Luci was going to come willingly. She knew him, didn’t like him at all. So he couldn’t even act all loving and caring to charm her socks off. No, she’d seen the real him before.

Wondered if he should try and bring her in himself or have someone else do it. Didn’t really think she’d trust him at all, certainly had not wanted to be Mated to him in the past, had actively chosen those two pricks over him. To be their bloody concubine, instead of the Luna to his pack.

Victor had never understood that, her choice. Who the hell chose the life of a concubine over a Luna. A concubine was nothing, just a glorified s*x worker. Who only serviced one or, in their case, two. She held no power, there was no bond. He’d have Mated and Marked her and bred a bunch of little Alpha pups with her without hesitation.

Likely wouldn’t need all them women down stairs to sate his needs if he had Luci. She was so like her mother, beautiful, he’d liked her right from the first time he’d laid eyes on her at the age of just two. When he’d heard her laugh, it sent a shiver down his spine. Had told himself she was going to be his Luna when she came of age. He had watched her grow and by 10 she’d looked like her mother, but those eyes of hers he’d only seen one like them before and her laugh, had a melodic sound to it. Had made him dig his heels in real good, knew that sound could only have been what he was looking for, there was no other creature in all the world that had a melodic laugh that could send shivers of pleasure down one’s spine.

Had held onto the Nightfall Pack alliance just to get to her, had been very disappointed when she’d not gotten her wolf at 16, he’d nearly severed ties with the pack over it, thought he’d been wrong, had actually doubted himself for the first time in a long time. But there was that something about her that he just couldn’t let go of. The sound of her laughter intrigued him completely.

He had to know of the other bloodline, had to wait to see if her true linage would show itself, what she would turn out to be and was glad of his obsession to know the truth of things. 18 and gained her wolf, just a later shifter was all. It made him happy, even as a wolf she’d be good and strong, had that pure Alpha-b***d he craved.

Knew she knocked about, watched and waited. He didn’t want some prissy girl who was inexperienced, he wanted a woman. One who knew how to please him, so didn’t concern himself with her need to f**k ranked members. That just meant she would know what to do when he told her to do it, to him.

Had gotten a taste of her himself when she’d been 19 and he had really liked it. Enjoyed holding her down and f*****g her good and proper, relished in it, enjoyed every damned second of it, though apparently, she had not. Didn’t understand that.

But it seemed she didn’t like being dominated completely, hadn’t really seemed to enjoy it, even though he had. But that was what he liked anyway, holding them down and taking what he wanted for as long as he wanted and he could f**k a woman for a long time.

The only one who could satisfy his needs and make him g***n as he came, was Zoe. They might be rejected Mates, but his damned body still craved hers like no other. It’s why he kept her around. Once a month had that woman, gave him so much pleasure and hell, not just him either, but for her too. Not even Silla came close to how Zoe made him feel.

Though Silla did get him off and was up for a really good and rough time, it was lacking in the mate bond department. She was only young, but hopefully would mature into something stronger and more useful to him, fertile would be good as well.

He mated that Siren good and proper all the time, still there were no little half-breed bastards between them, he’d told her he wanted a child with her, even gone so far as to tell her he’d like more than one, smiled at her after they’d finished f*****g. Silla, however, had just stared at him, said nothing at all on the subject. Damned Sirens so freaking picky and choosy.

A part of Victor wondered if she wouldn’t give him an heir because of all the other women he had down there in the basement with her. She’d have seen him f**k them all at some point, all bar Zoe that was. He always sent Silla upstairs to his room before that happened.

Victor did not want her getting any ideas about him touching her like he did Zoe. No-one got that but Zoe. If Silla ever saw it, he knew she would want that herself, was a s****l creature by nature. She would be more than curious and want him to do all those things he did to Zoe to her, and he had no intention of doing that.

Zoe was different to him. Was his actual Mate and he kept her because it made him stronger to have her around, even if they weren’t Mates anymore. The s*x with Zoe was still the best damned s*x he’d ever had.

Luci had come close though and he knew if he Marked and Mated her, it would be even better. That had always been his intent, until those two pricks had taken her away from him, that was. Now he had a real chance at bringing her in and gaining her for himself. He just had to replace her before they did, that was all.

Grabbed his unit and the specialised gear he would need to capture one so very powerful and headed out to scout the area himself. He couldn’t leave it too long or they would replace her and get to her before he did, and he did not want that. Though he could take Addison if he couldn’t get to her, use her to bring Luci right to him. Knew it would work, those two were so closely bonded Luci wouldn’t be able to refuse him.

He could strike a deal with her, Alpha to Alpha, so to speak, would even put his word on it an Alpha Oath from him to her. He’d let Addison go unharmed, wouldn’t even take pleasure in her himself, or allow any of his men to, if she would come to his pack and be his Luna, willingly take him as her Mate. That should work with the girl, she’d not want to see her mother come to harm. He’d also have to make sure no harm came to her before the deal was struck, take care of the woman. Might even be able to keep her in his pack to make Luci happy.

Though it was likely going to bring Orien down on him when he found out Victor was the one to take his Mate. It would severe their alliance instantly, but Victor could live with that as long as he had Luci as his Luna.

His pack was bigger than the Nightfall Pack, they’d be easy enough to get rid of or claim for himself. Thatcher had just found his Mate or at least that was what he’d heard, so weakening their pack was easy. Take Addison the Luna, kill the future Luna and weaken both the Alpha and his heir at the same time.

Then he would just send in his men to s*******r anyone that resisted him and his men taking over the pack. It wouldn’t be the first time he’d done that, wasn’t going to be the last time either, not with Luci by his side. Could take down the largest packs out there and be the biggest and strongest pack within a year of her being in his bed.

Smiled to himself as he drove with his unit out of the pack. He was going to get Luci one way or another. If she’d left the Black Forest Pack and not gone home, then she was an Alpha female that was pack-less and fair game to any Alpha male that came across her, and he fully intended on being the first one to do so.

Would take the long drive out there to the outskirts of Black Forest Pack to let his Unit know that what he had been after all these years was the damned thing in the lake. That Luci herself was now a fully realised Alpha Siren that was pack-less. Had likely only helped those two pricks because she hated him. Well, once he marked her, she’d be bound to him and their bond would grow, he’d treat her right as long as she treated him with respect and produced those heirs he wanted.

Not that he was planning on letting them take over for many years intended on running his pack till he couldn’t at all. Would be centuries of him being in charge. Liked being in charge and wasn’t about to go given up his power to some twenty or thirty year old, who had to do nothing to gain it. Like so many other packs out there. He’d worked damned hard to get where he was and wasn’t going to give it up to some child that thought they had the right because they were of the same bloodline.
