The Imperial Wolf Series Books 1-3
Chapter 68

Alexander POV

I know she needs me. I rush to the house, passing Desire as I get close to the house. Desire stops me as I sprint past her. This is not going to go well.

"ALEXANDER!" Desire screams at me. I come to a stop and wait for her on the road. Desire rushes toward me. She is angry.

"YOU CREATED A MONSTER!" Desire screams at me. Desire is upset and crying as she rushes toward me.

I put my hand out to stop her. "I did not want no such of a thing. I only gave her the tools to extend her power. She became the monster when her child was taken from her. Do not blame me. Put the blame where it belongs, on Erick," I say. Desire rushes toward me. I move quickly so she cannot strike me. "Remember it was I that taught you, Desire. You will not harm me. You cannot harm me," I say to her calmy.

"That daughter of yours almost killed the woman I love, Alexander. I will kill you and your daughter," Desire yells at me. Desire moves closer to me.

Desire stands in front of me. All of the anger she feels is spilling from her. Her tears roll down her face. I do feel bad that she is in pain, but I cannot allow her to harm Kate. Kate only needs to be groomed to use her power correctly. Kate is powerful, and we need her. The vampires need her and her power.

"Why did you tell Erick she was going to harm Belle? That is a lie. It sent her over the edge, and there is no way back from what she has become. She is going to kill us all," Desire says to me.

"I only said it is a possibility that she could harm baby Belle. Kate needed a push to achieve her power. It seems to have worked. She is much stronger than I thought she would be," I say.

"It worked alright, Alexander. She has the white wolf with her, and that wolf tried to kill Cassie," Desire cries out.

"Tried to kill her but did not. No harm, no foul, I say," I rebuke Desire.

"Alexander, this is your fault; now fix it. If you do not get Kate under control, I will kill you both and that demon child. I will not have Cassie in danger," Desire says.

Desire turns away from me and begins to walk away. "Oh, Desire, if you ever threaten my daughter or her child again, you will be the one dead. Remember I made you and I will take your life," I say to her.

Desire turns and begins to run toward me. I run at vampire speed ahead of her to the Alpha's house. If she follows me, I will take it as a threat and put her out of her misery. No one will harm Kate or the baby. Not Desire or Erick. Kate is exceptional, and it is time they recognize just how special she is now. That grandchild of mine will be no match for these wolves. She will rise above all of them.

I stop in front of the house. To my surprise, Kate is coming out the front door. "Father, you came for me," she exclaims, running toward me.

I kiss her on the cheek. "I understand you are in some trouble, child. I am her to help you and baby Belle," I say to her.

"Erick took my baby. He gave my baby to his whore," Kate says.

I touch Kate's head and run my hand through her hair so gently. "Come now, and I will fix everything, okay," I say to her.

I look over to see the white wolf with her. The wolf is growling loudly. He knows what I am about to do to Kate. I smile sweetly at Kate.

"My child, I love you so much, but I need you to remain calm for a few minutes," I say to her.

I grab Kate, and with one blow, I knock her out cold. The White wolf disappears. I cannot have that little bastard running around causing problems. I pick Kate up and carry her into the house. I take her upstairs. Where the f**k is Erick? He should be watching her. When I get into her bedroom, I see Erick. Damn, Kate, you tried to kill Erick. Tsk Tsk, my naughty little girl. I lay Kate out on the floor. I go back to Erick. I look him over. She did some good work, but alas he looks alive, maybe.

"You still alive, Alpha Erick?" I ask him. Alpha Erick is lying on the bed, naked and covered in blood. He looks like she tried to drain him.

Alpha Erick opens his eyes, but I can tell he is distress. I bite into my wrist. "Drink you, big idiot. My blood will heal you," I say to him as I place my wrist over his mouth.

Erick takes my blood and begins drinking it. "Good boy, that will fix you right up," I say to him. I take my wrist back from him and go back to my daughter. I lay her on the bed next to Erick. Erick is in and out as he heals. I take the chains and chain Kate to the bed. Erick starts coming back to himself. He looks at Kate and then back to me. Is he confused about what has happened? "Alexander, why are you here?" he asks. Erick groans in pain as he moves.

"You are welcome. If I had not come back, you would be dead, Alpha. Lucky for you, I decided to show up to check on my daughter and her child," I say to him.

He looks at Kate. "She tried to kill me," Erick says.

"Well, have you not learned yet, that she cannot be separated from her child. Why do you think that white wolf is here and can so easily manipulate her? You big dumb idiot! You are causing all of this!" I scold him.

Erick sits up on the bed. I can see he still loves her but is having a hard time with everything going on with her. "Erick, you cannot separate her from baby Belle; it is not good for either of them. You are killing her slowly, and you are causing all of this!" I say to him. "I have to protect the baby from her. She is insane," Erick says.

"I do not think she will hurt baby Belle. Everyone else, maybe, but not the baby. Her only focus is her child," I say.

"You are the one that told me she was looking for Isabella, and you were the one that told me she could hurt the baby," Erick screams at me.

I move closer to Alpha Erick. "Do not make me regret helping you, Alpha. I told you it was a possibility that Kate could cross over into darkness, and you Alpha, you pushed her right over the edge. What is wrong with you? She told me you are having an affair," I say. "I am not sleeping with Cassie. That damn wolf has put it in her head that I am f*****g Cassie," Alpha growls at me.

"You, Alpha are making it very easy for the white to manipulate her. You are giving it all kinds of ammunition. You need to get a grip and make Kate and Belle your number one priority," I say.

"Well, trying to be there for Kate almost got me killed," Alpha Erick screams.

Alpha gets up from the bed. He leans down and kisses his wife. He picks up his clothes off of the floor and dresses himself. He leaves me in the bedroom with Kate alone.

"Oh, my dear daughter, we have to get you straightened out. I need your power, but I do not need you killing everyone in sight," I say to her.

I check the chains to make sure she is secure. I hear Desire coming into the house. I go down to meet with for former protege. "Erick, let me at him! I am going to kill him and that bitch!" She is screaming.

I come into the front of the house. "Oh, Desire, what is the problem now? Did you come to kill Kate or me?" I ask her. Desire lunges at me. I drop her to the floor quickly.

"Remember Desire, I am old, but I can still kick your a*s. I trained you. I know all of your moves. You were once like a daughter to me, but now if you get in my way, it will be over for you," I say to her.

"You should go back and be with Cassie. She needs you, Desire," Alpha Erick says to her.

"She will kill you, Alpha," Desire says.

Alpha Erick looks at me and then back to Desire. "Kate is still sedated. She has not moved in hours. The drugs are working. The white wolf has not come back and see is resting peacefully. You should leave before you wake her," Alpha Erick lies to Desire. I am starting to like him even more.

"What the hell happened to your house?" Desire asks. She walks around looking at the mess Kate created.

"Alpha Erick and I had a bit of a disagreement, but we worked it out," I say.

"I do not believe either of you. You are both liars and I know that bitch is not sedated," Desire says.

"Do you want to go look for yourself?" I ask Desire.

"If I go up there, I am killing her," Desire says.

I rush toward Desire and hit her hard across the face. "You will not touch my daughter, bitch," I yell at her.

Desire touches her face where I hit her. "That is the last time you will ever touch me, Alexander. I promise you that," Desire says.

Desire leaves angry. "You better help me with Kate, Alexander, or I will let her kill you. I might enjoy watching it," Alpha Erick says.

"Let her, and she cannot kill me. She does not know how to kill me. Besides you need me. Like it or not, you need me Erick to control Kate," I say to Alpha Erick. I sit down and ponder the possibility of just how much control I have over this situation. If I control Kate then I will control not only baby Belle, but also the white wolf.

"I need to go check on Belle. Clean this mess up your daughter made," Alpha Erick says.

"You better bring that baby back to her mother before Kate goes completely insane. These little tantrums she is having is nothing. Wait until the wolf completely takes her over. If she falls into darkness like her mother did, Erick, there is no turning back from it," I say to Erick.

Erick stares at me for a moment. He walks out the door and leaves to check on baby Belle. If he is smart, he will bring baby Belle back here to be with her mother.

I sit in the living room alone. Kate has destroyed the house. I start piecing the house back together. I would hate for baby Belle to come back to this mess. I will do it for her and not because that big dumb idiot asked me to clean it up.

I hear some movement above. I should make sure my daughter is still out cold. All I need is that wolf jumping on me right now. I go up the stairs to see Kate. She is still asleep. My beautiful daughter, you are growing in your power as you sleep. They just do not know that they are helping you and the white wolf become something so much stronger than all of them.

I lean down and kiss Kate. We will rule the world, Kate.
