The Wrong Alpha - A Twist Of Fate?
The Wrong Alpha – A Twist Of Fate? Chapter 70

I swear we had been so close to almost kissing, he was being so sweet….. he was obviously close because we were in the car…..I had a moment of weakness when kissing him seemed like a good idea…. But he moved away so I guess I read it wrong….. I don’t want a relationship anyway…. Least of all with an Alpha….. he just caught me on a moment of weakness…. I need him as a friend….besides I have bigger issues right now…. Logan is pissed……

Alpha Grayson and Dad had to go to the city to deal with pack supply issues, and were expected to be gone for a few days, leaving Logan in charge for a few days under the guidance of Auntie Talia and Gamma Alex. But that meant he got to dictate I shouldn’t be going to work for Knox’s business, as he didn’t agree with the arrangement in the first place when Alpha Grayson had agreed to it.

I was all set to go to work this morning, when I got a message from him saying authorisation had been withdrawn after reconsideration from Alpha, but I figured he was likely lying so messaged to acknowledge what he had said, but stupidly snuck out of the house, and then the pack too, because I really wanted to go into work.

Not just because it gave me an opportunity to see my new friends but because Knox’s business was impressive and I could learn a lot there and it could give me serious opportunities to work upon building my business knowledge.

I just wish Logan would see that part of it, as me having further business knowledge could benefit our pack, which is why Alpha Grayson had agreed to it in the first place as we had no businesses of that kind of our own linked to the pack, and now this business was linked due to Indie Alpha Grayson was happy to consider the opportunity for me, when he saw the information and opportunities put forward.

I hadn’t looked at my messages the whole time I was at the offices, only using it to call Mr Robertson, I did see then I had a few missed calls from Logan but had chosen to ignore them. It was only when it came time to go for lunch I actually opened the messages

Lilah,

You need to answer my calls.

This is me as alpha not as me as a friend

Logan

—Lilah

I do not appreciate you ignoring what you were told earlier and choosing to go and work for another Alpha against my orders.

Get back to your pack immediately.

That is an order.

Logan

Lilah

I never put you down as one to disobey me.

Get back here now.

This needs to be dealt with.

Logan

Do not ignore me Delilah.

You will regret it.

Logan

Perhaps the fact you are not meant to be off my pack,

yet are in the company of another Alpha I could consider it kidnap?

Logan

Still choosing to ignore your Alpha.

Maybe a few nights in the cells are required so you learn it is me you listen to not another Alpha.

Logan

Lilah

This is not good enough as a pack member.

You obey this Alpha, your Alpha, whether or not you are some other Alpha’s w***e.

Get back to your pack immediately.

Tell him you will no longer be working for him, or we will be taking actions against him.

Logan

And that is the s**t I had to face when I eventually got back to pack, but part of me was desperate to warn Knox what Logan had said, yet I didn’t want to start something between the two packs or I may never get away from the situation I was in.

I knew that I could not let any action be taken against Knox or his pack because of me, so there was no way I could go back to work for him, despite what he had said to me. No matter how much I really wanted to, no matter how much I needed to, I couldn’t put Indie, and my new friends at risk like that.

I drove back toward pack in almost a trance, pulling up to the pack house instead of my own house when I arrived, knowing I had to go and speak to Logan immediately. This would not be easy.

MUM CAN YOU COME TO ALPHA’S OFFICE FOR ME PLEASE? LOGAN IS LIKELY TO BE KICKING OFF AT ME, I WAS DUE TO START MY NEW JOB TODAY FOR ALPHA KNOX OF INDIE’S NEW PACK, LOGAN MESSAGED SAYING MY AUTHORISATION WAS BEING PULLED WHICH I DOUBTED SO I WENT ANYWAY, LOGAN GOT ANGRY. SO I HAVE COME BACK. I’M ON MY WAY TO SEE HIM NOW. I linked my mum to get her to come ready to help me if needed, in case the d**k actually went through with his threat to put me in the cells, my mum would break his legs!

I took a deep breath, before walking into the pack house, marching straight to the Alpha office and knocked on the door. I wasn’t planning to take his crap, but at the same time, he was in the role of Alpha at present so I had to show respect as expected of me due to pack hierarchy.

The door opened….Anya …..f*****g marvellous… just what I need….

“Oh so you decided to return from….” She began….

“I will deal with this thanks babe” Logan says to Anya. “You , sit” he says to me.

I walk into the office, and sit down, waiting for what would be coming.

The door slammed “You have been out of order today Lilah” Logan yelled.

“Logan my work placement was arranged. You know that your Dad had already agreed to the arrangement with Alpha Knox. I couldn’t let them down, it doesn’t reflect well on the pack.” I explain.

“no, I don’t want to hear pathetic excuses for you wanting to spend time with that d**k of an Alpha from Midnight Forest Pack. What is it, couldn’t have the future Alpha here so you thought you’d try to replace a way to get your claws into a different Alpha?” Logan stared at me. I was shaking, I can’t believe he thought that of me!

“that is not true and you know it Logan” I say, doing my best to hold back tears.

“it’s Alpha Logan to you, and you wont be working for another Alpha Lilah, you belong to me, to this pack.” His eyes still haven’t left me.

“you cant do that, your Dad is Alpha” I point out.

“only for now, I will be Alpha soon enough” he bluntly states.

The door to the office opened and my Mum walked in. “what is this I hear Logan? You stopping Lilah going on her work placement?”

Logan looked to me. YOU WENT TO YOUR MUM? YOU b***h!! He mindlinked me.

I WAS SCARED WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO TO ME LOGAN, I ASKED MY MUM TO COME HERE IN CASE TOU HURT ME I saw his face drop as I link him back.

“I think there has been a misunderstanding Auntie Sadie. Can you give me and Lilah a moment please” Logan says, acting all sweet.

“you have five minutes Logan” my Mum says, stepping outside.

“why did you think I would hurt you Lilah?” Logan looked to me “I was angry you didn’t listen to me, that you didn’t obey me. I would never hurt you though”

“but the messages you sent were nasty and threatening Logan. I didn’t deserve that” he looked at me guiltily.

“I was angry Lilah. You don’t talk to me anymore. You have no time for me. We used to be so close…. And now I barely see you…. This new job seems to be a way for you to get away from the pack….” He says, looking at me pleadingly.

“no Logan its an opportunity for me to learn new skills, build my business knowledge. I don’t see you as much because you have a mate, you have responsibilities now. I miss Indie, you must know that so the fact I get to work with her pack means I get to see her too” I explain.

“you shouldn’t be working for another Alpha” he yells.

My Mum walks in, the door bouncing off the wall she opened it with such force.

“your father has authorised it Logan, it is good for the pack, and it is good for Lilah” Mum says, standing in front of Logan, almost like she was ready to knock him down if he went for me.

“come on Lilah we are going home. You young man, sort your head out. ” she gives Logan a dirty looks as she walks out of the office, I quickly follow.

“oh and Logan” I add as I leave “I am no Alpha’s w***e thank you” I walk after my Mum.

“he called you what?!” my mum yelled, spinning round on her feet ready to go back in the office, I grabbed her arm, pulling her back.

“its fine mama, leave it. I told him. He is being a jackass. He doesn’t like it that he doesn’t have the power his dad does” I say to her.

We walked back to the house, chatting about work, chatting about Dad and the work he had been doing and when was expecting to be back. The sun was shining as we walked along the pathways from the packhouse up to our family home. Plenty of people on the way stopping us to speak to my Mum. I ended up walking ahead and going in the house as she got into a deep conversation with one of the elderly couples from the pack.

I headed straight up to my room when I went into the house, just wanting to chill out. I flop myself onto my bed.

SORRY SWEETHEART, GOING TO HELP OUT IN THE KITCHENS, MRS GILLESPIE ROPED ME IN, I’LL BE HOME LATER THIS AFTERNOON my Mum linked me. Looks like an afternoon on my own then…..

NO WORRIES MAMA, I’M JUST GOING TO CHILL I link her back.

LISTEN b***h, YOU BEST NOT HAVE LAID A FINGER OR ANY OTHER PART OF YOUR ANATOMY ON MY MATE I suddenly get mind linked from Anya, is she for real?! I didn’t even want to be near him!! JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WHORING YOURSELF OUT TO ALPHAS NOW DOESN’T MEAN MY ALPHA MATE NEEDS YOU, SO IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

I don’t need this…. I didn’t even bother to respond to her… I felt tears behind my eyes….. I had done so well managing to avoid Logan, so staying out of Anya’s radar for a little while, other than the occasional nasty message here and there…. Was it all going to start again?

I heard my phone buzzing, I looked to the screen, it was Knox video calling…..

“hello?” I said, sniffing and blinking trying to hide the fact I had been close to tears.

“Lilah? What’s wrong?” he asked.

“nothing. I just sneezed. You ok? When you said you were going to call later, I didn’t think you meant this soon” I tried to joke.

I could see his face, and it was not smiling….dammit ……

“do you need me to come get you?” he asked.

“No. I do not need saving Knox.”I smile tiredly.

“would you call me if you did?” he asked, I thought back to earlier….I’d called for my Mum….

“oh and you’d come running?” I joked.

“in a heartbeat, we all would sweet.” He said, and again I replace myself smiling, but this time there is a tinge of sadness to my smile.

“well don’t worry. I am fine, I don’t need the big bad Alpha to come save me, though apparently, I’m whoring myself out to big bad Alphas now” I say without thinking.

“WHAT?!” Knox’s voice booms “he said that?!” I saw his eyes flickering between their deep brown and the black I assume is his wolves. He was clearly more than a little angry.

“I got him told Knox don’t worry, my Mama wanted to kill him, and to think about it actually, she has gone back to the packhouse, apparently to help in the kitchens, so he may want to watch his food later… plus he’ll no doubt get an earful off her if she sees him in the hallways” I joke.

“did he hurt you Lilah?” Knox’s voice was urgent.

“no. I think it was more that I disobeyed him. Plus he doesn’t like me being around you. Said I am his, his pack’s.” I explain.

I could hear Knox’s breathing getting faster and heavier, I don’t think I was doing very well in trying to calm him down….

“I swear Lilah that guy…..” he starts.

“Knox its fine, I don’t want to think about it. My mama told him I would be working for you and that was that, so if you still want me in the office the option is there, but I honestly would understand if you didn’t, I don’t want to cause any problems for you” I explain.

I see him smile “I’d be causing problems if you weren’t coming to the office sweet…. I want you working there, your ideas from what Jake looked into already could make a massive difference, oh and Robertson emailed, planning to sign by the end of business tomorrow. So you my love are most definitely not causing me problems, you are solving them….”

Aww he called me my love… Nah not going there….. I don’t want a man….. he is just sweet sometimes….

“you still at the office?” I ask.

“yeah, but struggling to focus, other things on my mind…” is that because he was worried about me? Or is that a bit bigheaded to think like that?

“is everything ok?”I question.

“it will be I hope. What you up to? You look like you’re in bed sweet….” He chuckles.

I cant help but blush “not in bed, but laid on it, I’m just chilling out, thankfully the talk with Logan didn’t take as long as I thought, so I came home. I was dreading coming home you know Knox, even thought about not coming back….” I quietly admit.

I could see him watching me intently through the video, “what?” he muttered “where did you plan to go Del?” I had noticed him using my other nickname that Indie used every now and again in conversations now.

“that’s just it, I don’t know…I just knew I didn’t want to come home” I sigh looking at him, wishing he was here as I know he’d probably give me a hug, as much as I don’t want a man in that way, he did give good hugs…

“Look Lilah I need you to promise me, that you will never do anything silly like that, you do not need to risk going rogue, you come to me, I will always help you….” I see him pause like he is thinking “not just that sweet, if you are ever struggling and things seem to much you come to me… please…..I will always help…. Promise me…..please…..” he looked like he found his words difficult to say.

I was touched he cared, it felt nice to have friends that cared so much. I nod.

“I want you to say you promise me Lilah, it isn’t just me, it’s the guys too, and Indie of course, she is desperate for me to replace a way to help you, so do you promise you’ll let me?” he pushes.

“I promise” I smile at him.
