Chapter 17

Evander paced the large living room. He was livid, enraged both with himself and with Beth. He should have consoled her before going after Royce, but she should’ve stayed put! Worse, she couldn’t have picked a shittier time to run off. He’d been charging out of the house to find her when Clay stopped him. Evander’s brother, Barron, had arrived and, in typical Alpha fashion, had challenged Weston after Evander’s Beta had refused to permit him near the compound.

Barron was a lone wolf, but still an Alpha, and didn’t take orders from anyone, especially a mere Beta.

Crashing through the trees on the southern-most end of their property, Evander snarled impatiently at the sight that met him. His brother, Barron, was staring Weston down while Lincoln paced agitatedly behind his pack mate with Raina’s fear-filled eyes watching from a few feet behind Lincoln.

A flash of pride bubbled forth at the fact that his Beta—while not outright attacking—wasn’t lowering his eyes or head in submission either.

His pride was short tempered though, his impatience to go after Bethany overwhelming. He knew it couldn’t happen now. An Alpha didn’t run from his territory for any reason, and he most especially didn’t do it upon the arrival of another Alpha. It would be considered relinquishment of his title, his pack, and his lands.

“Barron!” Evander hissed impatiently. He should have known. The scentless footprints near the creek were typical Barron. “What in the fuck are you doing here now?” He’d known his brother was coming, and in typical Barron style, he arrived at the most inopportune moment.

Barron kept his eyes pinned on Weston. “Brother. Tell this pup to lower his head before I detach it.”

“Weston!” Evander growled in irritation, stalking forward to grab his Beta’s arm and forcibly pull him back. “I need you to go after Bethany. She’s gone.”

“Bethany?” Barron smirked, then turned to eye his brother.

Evander ignored him. “She’s my mate, Weston. Bring her back to me!”

Weston didn’t move at first. “You sure?” His query was clearly concern over the fact that he wasn’t comfortable leaving his Alpha with Barron.

“No.” Evander plowed a frustrated hand through his hair. “I’d rather it were me chasing her down, but I need to stay here and deal with my brother, which means you’re going after my mate. The longer you stand here, the further she gets, so move your ass!”

“You can go.” Barron smirked, crossing to prop himself against a tree as he watched the scene with clear amusement. “I don’t mind entertaining myself.” His gaze slid to Raina, and when she flinched and backed up Lincoln snarled and crossed to block her from Barron’s view.

Barron’s penchant for women was the exact reason Evander wouldn’t be going after Bethany. Evander had a duty to protect his pack, and he obviously couldn’t rely on Weston or Lincoln to keep things calm while he was gone.

Fuck! This was what he despised about being Alpha. He hated having to put his own needs, his own wants, and his own life on the back burner to do what was best for his pack.
