My Alphas, Part Four

Make no mistake - werewolves are a threat to human society.

If a wild dog attacks you, put it down.

If a werewolf attacks you, put it down.

It is a mistake to think they are human. They may come from us, products of brutal rape but they are not us. They are vicious dangerous beasts.

Ormand Holt, Grandmaster Dragon of World Without Werewolves

“The last of the humans have turned back,” Kita announced and the surrounding werewolves clapped and cheered (and some howled).

Cass smiled and clapped along with them but she felt she was a million miles away. She knew she should be happy her plan had succeeded. She’d saved human and werewolf lives and prevented an attack that inevitably would have brought on a much worse counterattack. She knew all these things but they felt hollow and empty.

Weighing on her mind was one repeating thought: they chose me but they didn’t know what they were choosing.

It had been ten days since Vara told Cass what the Pack Mate was expected to do and although Cass’ ability to deny reality had been perfected growing up with her terrible parents, it was failing badly now.

She’d let herself fall back into the pattern of sleeping, eating, Alphas. Sleeping, eating, Alphas. The days passed rapidly and she avoided starting any deep and meaningful conversations with Edon, Rey or anyone else.

Edon and Rey made it easy to fall into a mindless pattern. They were insatiable and she was too. But even as she stripped off and fell into bed with either or both of them, she recognized on some level she was using her body rather than her words; trying desperately to take overwhelming lust, the totally absorbing moment of flesh uniting and pretend it meant more. That perhaps it meant love or connection. That it meant caring.

That they loved her for who she was when they had no idea at all.

“… last five stayed camping there until this morning. Finally they broke down and have returned to Hinton.”

Cass brought herself back to the moment and clapped again. After the initial thirty men had turned tail, the remaining forty dwindled rapidly. Within two days there were only ten men who had slowed to covering less than three miles a day. Sleep deprived, hungry and lacking water, they seemed to be pushing forward out of pride while not intending to actually arrive at the den. After a period of time passed so they could say “well, we tried our best” they turned around and marched back home.

She looked across at Rey. He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, not listening. Cass had felt his gaze on her but every time she looked at him he was looking elsewhere. It was a stalking game - predator and prey and normally that would have pulled her in but she was stuck in her own head, too preoccupied to let go.

Edon was against the other wall, a magazine cover model on his day off. He met Cass’ gaze and the edge of his mouth quirked into a smile.
