The Alpha's Rejected Heir
Chapter Twenty-Seven

Third person POV

AJ drove the stolen ambulance with trembling hands and a racing heart towards the edge ofhowling moon territory.

To say he wanted to be anywhere but where he was at the moment would be putting it very lightly.He, like everyone else has heard the stories of how ruthless and unforgiving the alpha of that pack isso it baffled him as to why Alessandro would want to go there of all places despite the numerouswarnings he gave him

Aj, Brandon and sage knew little about Alessandro's past, mainly that he was born in Italy and hismom died six months ago at the hands of the man they currently had in the back of the ambulance.However despite their lack of knowledge on his life they trusted him because that one boy hadsaved and protected them more times in the past six months than anyone has in their entire lives.Besides it wasn't as if he knew all their secrets, so it didn't bother them because they knew nomatter what he would never hurt or betray them like everyone else had, and that's why even thoughthey were all scared to cross into alpha Black's territory the unfaltering trust they had in their friendgave them the courage to do something they never imagined before.

With shaky breaths and trembling hands Aj drove to the forest line leading to the southern borderof the territory they are about to cross. He parked the ambulance, his heart pounding in his chest.He turned in his seat to look at his companions

"Well we're here, it's now or never" he says

"Look guys I know you all would rather be anywhere but here so i appreciate you guys helping mewith this" Alessandro told them sincerely, a bit of sadness in his eyes

"It's cool dude we owe you our lives without you we wouldn't even have the chance to be herecontemplating whether or not to cross into another alpha's territory" Brandon replied

"Thanks Brandon that means alot. Before we go I need to ask you guys something, do you trustme?"

"Of course” his three friends replied at the same time

"Do you trust me with your lives?" He asked again

"Al of course we trust you with our lives otherwise we wouldn't be here. You have done more for usin the past months we've known each other than our own families have done our whole lives; youprotected us when we ambushed, robbed and framed you. After we almost got you killed...twiceyou still protected us, you gave us a home so of course we trust you alpha” sage replied laughing atthe way he cringed when she called him alpha.

Of course they all knew Alessandro was an alpha wolf another reason why they all followed him theysaw him as their alpha, their leader even though he protests against them calling him that.

"Listen guys you will learn things about me today that you didn't know or wouldn't expect. You willsee a part of me I really wish you wouldn't have to but just know that no matter how bad it gets Iwill protect you guys with my life and i will never hurt you. We are a family and family means no onegets left behind; so let's begin with the plan and when this is all over I will explain everything."

They all nodded as they gathered their courage ready to take on the world.

Alessandro grabbed Kevin by his neck as he threw him over his shoulder. He was no longerunconscious but remained quiet due to the duct tape attached securely to his mouth. He walkedout of the back of the ambulance with sage and Brandon in tow, the all walked to the front of thevehicle just in front the edge of pack lands they were about to intrude.

The moment the the four friends stepped towards the border 7 angry wolves immediately steppedfrom behind the trees growling at them. Alessandro glanced at his shaking friends, they lookedutterly terrified.

It wasn't that they couldn't fight why they were afraid, on the contrary they could easily defeattheses seven wolves by themselves, Alessandro made sure of that. it was the fact that they didn'thave the confidence in themselves especially seeing as they were average rogue wolves with nosignificant status who had been abandoned by their own families.

The seven large wolves shifted then walked closer to the four teens as the biggest of them allgrowled out "Who are you and what are you doing here!?"

"We're not here to cause trouble but we need to speak with your alpha and beta" Alessandroreplied cautiously stepping forward.

"And why would I allow that rogue” the tall man spat out

"Just tell beta micheal that Raffi is here to see him he'll know who I am" Alessandro said softly usingthe pet name his uncle gave him when he was young

"Leave now and I'll allow you to live" the man told them

"Please we just need five minutes of his time if you could just call your alpha or beta. I know werejust rogues and you have no obligation to honour our request but I'm asking you to please just callthem we'll wait right here" sage spoke up pleading with the warrior.

She was so caught up in convincing the scary man to do as they asked she hadn't realized she wasmoving closer to him until she crossed onto the border without noticing. The warrior wolf snarled ather, grabbing sage by the neck as she had trespassed into their territory.

"Sage!!" Alessandro Brandon and Aj yelled instantly

"Ah ah ah" the warrior wolf tsked at the three boys as they were about to make a move

His nail lengthened into a claw as he placed it at sage's neck halting her friends in their place"Please am sorry I didn't mean to cross over I didn't realize I was moving” sage pleaded as she triedand failed to free herself from the man's choking grasp

"Oh come on do you think I'm gonna believe that? How gullible do you think I am" the warriorsnarled angrily throwing her to the ground

"You filthy rogues are really cocky thinking you can just waltz into our territory as you pleasedemanding to see our alpha and beta. We are warrior wolves the first line of defense for this pack,what kind of protector would we be if we allowed rogues onto our land" he said kicking sage in herside

The other wolves laughed as she screamed out in pain. The warrior then grabbed her hair yanking itbackwards.

When the wolf kicked sage in her side Alessandro could here the snap of ribs being either broken orcracked, Brandon immediately doubled over as his mate's pain spread throughout his body. AAlessandro saw was red as he let out a menacing growl. He was beyond livid as he threw Kevin fromhis shoulders, his eyes changing to pitch black as he let his beastly wolf come forward.

Everyone present gasped in shock as Alessandro partially shifted into a wolf man creature with pitchblack eyes. He bared his canines at the seven men in front of him as he let out a threatening growl,then with inhumane speed he closed the distance between him and the wolf who had kicked sageearlier. The man clearly surprised at Alessandro’s speed was frozen in place as the creature suddenlyappeared in front him.

With his anger skyrocketed Alessandro expressed no hesitation as he grabbed the tall burly man byhis head holding his hair in a vice grip then pulled until he felt the head detach from its placebetween the man's shoulders, as his body fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing their fellow pack member murdered in front of their eyes all hell broke loose as an all outbattle began between the howling moon wolves and Alessandro’s friends.

After shifting back to his human self and making sure sage was ok Alessandro went back to grab afright-stricken Kevin who was being monitored by Aj.

Kevin was gaping utterly terrified at the form Alessandro had taken on. Never in all his life had heseen a wolf able to transform partially without being unstable or without the use of drugs. He wassomewhere between shocked and angry. Shocked because all these months of watching Alessandrotrail him around the world he never once saw or suspected he was capable of such a transformation,he was angry because he had tried and failed many times to reach the state that bastard mutt wasnow sporting.

Alessandro picked Kevin up once again making sure to cover his head incase one of the warriorsrecognized him, he had already masked Kevin's scent so they wouldn't know who he was.

He then crossed over the territory again as his friends gave the warriors an ass whooping of alifetime. He watched as his three friends subdued the warriors one by one. Alessandro made his wayfurther into the territory as a gigantic wolf lunged at him aiming at his neck. He quickly dodgedthen kicked it into a tree. The wolf got up again and shifted then ran towards Alessandro as hedropped Kevin and the two engaged in hand to hand combat.

After a few minutes of kicks and punches Alessandro got irritated and landed a roundhouse kicksending his opponent flying backwards where he landed at someone's feet. Alessandro could feeleyes boring into the back of his head as he picked up Kevin from the ground.

He turned around ready for a fight but halted in his steps as he came face to face with his shockstricken uncle. He did a double take rubbing his eyes just to make sure they weren't playing trickson him.

"A-a-alessandro?" Michael asked not believing his eyes

"Uncle micheal" Alessandro breathed in disbelief

"Raffilll" Micheal yelled as he ran towards his nephew with open arms

"Where have you been we've been searching for you for months but you just vanished. And thatone time in new York we were so close but then you disappeared” micheal says

"I'm sorry uncle I knew you guys were looking for me but there was something that I had to do”Alessandro apologized

"Well I'm just glad your ok" Micheal says

He glanced over at the three teenagers just as Brandon tied up the last warrior.

"Could you please untie them, I kinda need them to protect our territory" he says

The three kids looked at Alessandro for confirmation before they hesitantly untie the men they hadjust subdued. When one of the warriors lunged at Aj micheal yelled in his beta voice

"Stop!"

The warrior immediately halted his actions as micheal walked towards them.

"I asked them to untie you so you could go get yourselves checked out not attack the people whojust defeated you. At least keep whatever dignity you have left after getting defeated by kids andyou call yourselves warriors" he scolded

"But beta they crossed our territory without permission and killed Mick" the warrior argued

"We asked you guys to call your beta and alpha to speak with them. We had no intentions ofcrossing your borders” Brandon said

Yeah right and did that girl over there not cross our borders” the man scoffed

"By accident!" Sage yelled

"And your freak of a friend killed our fellow pack member" he retorted

"I killed him because he chose to put his hands on a innocent girl who hadn't caused him any harm"Alessandro spoke up

"Wait you killed Mick?" Micheal asked in surprise looking at the warrior's headless body

"He attacked sage after she accidentally crossed the border, and even though I know it's normal forthem react this way towards rogues she wasn't attacking him or anything yet he broke three of herfibs, so I ripped his head from his body" Alessandro replied nonchalantly

"Ok ok pause. Normally in a situation like this you should all be killed but there's no way in hell I'mattacking my nephew and there's too much to be discussed”

"Three of you bring Mick's body to the pack hospital and let Carmichael deal with it the rest keepwatch until I send your replacements then you can go get checked up” micheal instructed"Alessandro you and your friends come with me you guys need to be checked as well and like I saidthere's a lot of things to discuss which will take some time so I'm glad your back”

"I'm not staying uncle Michael I just have some loose ends here that I need to tie up and saygoodbye to you and grandpa. I've done something I can't go back from so it's not safe to stay here.Besides I have obligations now" Alessandro says pointing to his friends

"Wait what loose ends and as for everything else, Alessandro there's something that you need toknow, your mother"

"Don't!!!" Alessandro yelled as he felt a stabbing pain in his heart at the mention of his motherMicheal looked confused for a second at Alessandro's reaction then it clicked, he remembered thatAlessandro thinks Rosalyn is dead. Deciding to resolve the issue before it goes on any longermicheal opened his mouth to talk but was cut off by a growl.

"What the hell happened here!?" Ke'shaun yelled

"Why did I just past three battered warriors carrying Mick's body without his head? And why isthere-" he stops and sniffs the air before turning to Aj Brandon and sage who were shaking in theirbooths.

"Rogues" he growled before shifting and lounging at the three teenagers

Realizing the alpha's intent Alessandro quickly stepped in front of his friends before moulding hishand onto a fist and punching him square in the jaw as the giant wolf is sent into the ground."Don't you dare touch them or I'll kill you" Alessandro growled out as his eyes turned pitch blackShocked gasps came from everyone present as ke'shaun reverted to his human form before gettingto his feet, anger rolling off him in waves. He looked up at his attacker, his eyes wide as saucerswhen he saw who it was.

"A-a-alessandro” he stuttered

"B-but how!? When did you get here and why didn't I smell your scent" he asked

"I've been here the whole time and I masked my scent that's why you didn't smell me. As for yourdecapitated warrior that was my doing and like I said before if you harm my friends I'll end you" hesays menacingly as viens appeared around his black eyes

"What the hell are you!?" Ke'shaun asked trying to fight back the fear slowly creeping up his chest"Something you never want to make angry” Alessandro grabbed as his canines dropped furtherthan they ever have before.

"Ok everyone that's enough” micheal says walking in between Alessandro and ke'shaun. Alessandroretracted his canines as his eyes turned back to normal while ke'shaun took micheal's advice andbacked off.

As ke'shaun stepped back he looked over at Alessandro when he caught a glimpse at something onhis shoulder. Stopping dead in his tracks he asked

"What the hell is he doing here and why is he with you?" Pointing at the man he thought he'd neversee again

Alessandro looked at his shoulder to see that the hood of the sweater he had thrown over Kevinhad fall off.

"Raffi what's going on" micheal asked as he stared at his alpha's father on his nephew's shoulderSighing Alessandro replied "is that offer to discuss all this at somewhere more comfortable stillstands?"

"Uhm, yeah. Come on let's go" micheal says ushering them in the direction of the pack house

As they all walked back to the pack house sage Brandon and Aj made sure to walk as close aspossible to Alessandro. After 10 minutes of walking in uncomfortable silence they finally reachedthe pack house. No one was outside which seemed weird to Alessandro but he didn't dwell on it.They went inside and quickly made their way up the stairs towards ke'shaun’s office. Arriving at theoffice doors micheal stepped infront Alessandro and his friends opening the door for them. Hepaused when he saw amber sitting in ke'shaun's chair waiting patiently while gently rubbing herhuge belly, she looked as if she would pop at any moment.

"What's wrong why'd you stop” Alessandro asked

"Uhm nothing come on in" he replied

Everyone filed into the office one after another as amber stared at them in confusion. Thatconfusion turned onto shock when her eyes landed on Alessandro. Spotting his pregnant mateke'shaun immediately walked over to her.

"Amber what are you doing in here are you ok?" He asked worriedly

"Yeah am fine it's just that I was calling you through the link but you weren't replying and I gotworried so i came down here but on my way a pack member told me you went to the southernborders to check on something so I decided to wait" she says her eyes stuck on Alessandro

"Uhm ke'shaun wha- how is he here you guys were just saying you couldn't replace him and why thehell is your father laying unconscious on his shoulder" she asked

"Well I have yet to figure all that out you just take a seat and relax" ke'shaun replied

After amber was comfortably seated ke'shaun turned his attention to the five people in his office."Ok so what the heck is going on here?" He asked in his alpha voice

Alessandro growled at ke'shaun when he saw the discomfort his friends were in because ofke'shaun’s alpha tone. After a quick stare down from father and son, and some heavy glaring at thetwo from micheal they both backed down so their meeting could start.

"First things first Alessandro there's something I need to tell you but I need you to remain calmwhen I say what I have to say" Michael says

"What is it?" Alessandro asked

"Well uhm it's about your mom and before you get angry just let me finish. The day youdisappeared i know you left I know you did what you did because you thought your mom was deadbut she’s not"

"WHAT!!!" This time it was all four of the teenagers who yelled

"How can this be I saw her die with my own eyes" Alessandro asked in disbelief

"I know what you saw al but she didn't die she was close to it and flat lined alot but the doctormanaged to get the bullet out, luckily it missed her heart by a centimeter and she managed torecover" micheal told him

"So where is she now!?" Alessandro asked anxious to see his mother

"Uhm theirs something else that you need to know" micheal says hesitantly

"What?"

"Well your mother was uhm, she ah sh- she”

"She was what!!?"

"While she was captured she was raped it didn't get far because Jermaine managed to stop it butthe damage was already done and I guess after she woke up and we could replace you for months thereality of the situation got to her and she just fell into a deep depression and now she's barelyfunctional”

"What!!1?2?" Alessandro yelled with a thunderous growl shaking the entire mansion

He could feel himself slipping as rage took over his entire being after all it was the only emotion hecould feel overwhelming consuming rage. His eyes turned to a shade of intense black as veinsappeared around his eyes, his canines dropped to their full length piercing his bottom lip, hisfingernails turned to razor sharp claws as he transformed into a half wolf half man even though helooked more beastly that human. His wolf easily took control of his body as Alessandro faded intothe background of his own dark mind.

Xavier scanned the room as he assessed everyone in the room. Amber was shaking so heard hewondered if it could cause a miscarriage. Ke'shaun and Michael stood completely frozen in theirspots with countless emotions flashing across their eyes fear being the most frequent. He glanced athis friends who stood their gaping at his transformation but he was relieved to see that there wasno fear in their eyes only astonishment and admiration.

"Where is she" Xavier asked in a rumbling voice

"S-she's in t-the room both of y-you stayed at w-while you were here" micheal stuttered

Ripping the door off it's hinges Xavier left the office and made his way towards his mother. He triedreaching out to her wolf Althea but he couldn't sense her. When he reached the door of the roomhe once shared with his mother he ripped it open to reveal a fraction of what was left of the womanwho gave him life, protected him and taught him how to protect himself.

Reverting to his normal size giving over the reigns Xavier walked into the room as Alessandro slowlypushed to the forefront of their mind and knelt at the bedside beside his sleeping mother.

"Mama" he called out

"Mama it's me Alessandro please wake up” he pleaded

"Mia Regina (my queen) please wake up" he cried

"MAMAAAAAAAA!ITIT
