    Alpha Alexander has his hand around Theo’s throat in a blurred moment right after his words sink


    into our minds. I gasp, rising from the chair as he picks the sitting man up from the seat and lifts him


    in the air.


    Your brother? How convenient. “Alpha Alexander hums, squeezing Theo’s throat who refrains from


    struggling and res


    back at him.


    “Alpha Alexander. I stumble forth and grab his back in an attempt to pull him off Theo.


    His face turns red due tock of oxygen. My heart thumps inside my chest as I w at Alpha


    Alexander’s back to free him..


    Stay out of it! The enraged Alpha shrugs me off and yells at me.


    *Leave him. Alpha Alexander. At least hear what he has to say first! I scream, grabbing his shoulder


    tightly.


    He doesn’t budge. Daphne runs towards us but after seeing something on Alpha Alexander’s face,


    she decides to cautiously stay a few steps away from him..


    Alpha, please. “She whispers.


    The other girl stays behind, smiling at the disy of violence. When I am sure I won’t find any help


    from anyone, I throw myself ahead and wrap my arms around Alpha Alexander’s waist tightly. My


    body trembles against his, letting him know how scary it is right now.


    * Please. Please, leave him. Please. “I plead, resting my forehead over his taut back.


    For a moment, I think it won’t work but then I feel his muscles loosening in my hold and a breath of


    relief escapes my mouth.


    Theo coughs violently when he releases him. I don’t remove my face from Alpha Alexander’s back


    for fear that he is going to hurt him again.


    My breathse out in short pants, leaving me breathless and terrified. Alpha Alexander’s hands


    drop to my wrists, holding me tightly. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Exin. He hisses in a condescending tone.


    He is is my elder brother. “I hear Theo saying in a h o a r s e voice.


    I am left shocked and unable toprehend this turn of events. The man who took my baby is


    Theo’s brother.


    – What is your part in all this?” Alpha Alexander asks, trying to step forward but I tighten my grip


    around him and keep him back.


    To my surprise, he doesn’t push me away and allows me to stop him. My heart pounds in my chest.


    “I have no part in this. I didn’t know he was doing this! Theo huffs.


    * How is that possible?” Daphne hisses, shocking me. She seems to be sharing Alpha Alexander’s


    thoughts.


    “It’s possible because my Dad disowned my brother long ago. He took away his right to be the


    Alpha and exiled him from the pack. “Theo says.


    “Did your Dad know about this? ” Daphne asks.

    Chapter 51


    No. Dad threw him out because he was violent and had attempted to harm a young warrior during


    training. Our pack is all about peace, Alpha Alexander. That’s why my Dad doesn’t support anyone


    who tries to use violence.” He sighs.


    Where is he now? “Alpha Alexander questions.


    I wish I knew but I don’t. I ain seeing him after a decade, Alpha Alexander. I didn’t expect to find him


    in this position and it’s unbelievable that he turned out to be this—this man.” He sounds hurt and


    angry.


    I try to let Alpha Alexander go so I can move to Theo’s side but he pulls my arms back around him


    with a jerk. I gasp, my front pressing firmly to his back. His muscles shift stiffly against me, making


    me sure that if I let this man go, he will lunge for Theo again.


    How can I believe you? “Alpha Alexander wonders.


    You don’t have to waste your time on this, Alpha Alexander. We have to find A and when we do, I


    will kill my brother with my own hands. I won’t spare him for hurting that baby and so many girls.


    “Theo hisses, making me shudder.


    That’s the point. We can’t trust you, Theo. What if you are working with your brother? Daphne


    murmurs.


    Silence falls in the room and only the breaths and heartbeats of everyone echo in it. I close my


    eyes, trying to find somefort.


    If I was with him, why do you think I told you he is my brother? I could have kept it a secret and you


    all wouldn’t have found out. Theo says after a while.


    It makes sense. He has no reason to enclose that information. We have been trying to track down


    Cleodore’s background. information for years and yet, we found nothing because this man was


    apparently disowned. We wouldn’t have found out about this piece of information either if this guy


    hadn’t told us. “Ariana speaks up finally.


    Alpha Alexander keeps his silence but I can sense he is still suspicious and if I could see him right


    now, I would definitely find him ring at Theo angrily. I sigh against his back.


    “La. “Theo calls my name softly.


    I pull back, but Alpha Alexander refuses to let go. So, I only look over his arm and find Theo staring


    at me. His eyes disy the pain he is feeling right now.


    Do you not believe me?” He asks.


    She is not s t u p i d enough to believe you.” Alpha Alpha states.


    I blink, taking in Theo’s features. He doesn’t take his eyes off me and waits for an answer.


    I have been med for things in my life that are never in my control. I know what it feels like to try


    so hard your whole life and find out that the people who are supposed to love you and trust


    you..have only hate and disgust for you in their hearts. And I don’t want to be like them.


    “I trust Theo. He helped me raise A. He will never do anything to harm her. I believe that. I


    believe in him. “I whisper, nodding my head.


    He sighs visibly and smiles at me. This must be a huge burden for him to know that his brother is


    behind his pain, behind my pain and A’s pain, and behind the pain of so many others.


    How can you f u k i n g believe him for that reason alone? “Alpha Alexander hisses.


    That reason is big enough for me to owe Theo the rest of my life. You don’t realize that because you


    have never let anyone be good to you and you are not kind to anyone either. “I snap at him, despite


    holding him.


    He pushes me away. I step back, don’t mind his tantrum, and rush to get to Theo’s side instantly.


    My arms go around his

    neck, pulling him in a hug as I stop caring about the watching eyes.

    It’s not your fault. Don’t me yourself for anything. Your brother’s sins and crimes are only his. Do


    you get me. Theo? “I state firmly.


    * Uh-Hm.” He hums, pressing his face into the side of my head.


    I sigh, closing my eyes. Thest thing I want is to lose him to a monster who took my A.


    “I won’t let him hurt A.” He whispers in a weak voice.


    *WE won’t let him hurt her. “I release a shallow breath.


    I hope I can be for him what he has been for me since the time we met; an anchor.


    We pull apart and everyone calms down. Daphne goes back to stand beside the wall and Ariana


    settles into a furious Alpha Alexander’sp. I keep my eyes on Theo who tells us more about his


    brother. From the stories, it’s clear that the brothers were never close and Cleodore has always


    been a troublemaker in their family.


    Alpha Alexander’s frown softens after a while of hearing Theo talking about the nightmare that is


    Cleodore. This doesn’t my heart at ease though.


    My heart will only be at ease when Levi gives us the news that they have located A.

    But my hopes get crushed and my spirits are killed brutally when that news doesn’t arrive for the


    next five day’s and when it finally does-


    I am only a shell of what I used to be.
