Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 321

Tatiana:

Giovanni was a fool to think he ever controlled me.

He was a fool to think that he could ever have anything over me.

The fucking bastard who thought that he could have any hold over me…

He thought that by giving me space to breathe, by pretending to share his power, that I would stay loyal. That I would stay his. But I am not something to be kept. I refused to allow him to do that again. I refused to allow him the sense of power or the sense to think that he had any power over me.

I no longer needed him and I was making it obvious to him and to everyone else. And I was not going to stop. I was going to make sure that everyone understood that I did not want or need his presence.

The mist swirled around me, thicker now, alive with the screams of those I’d taken. The dark forest bent to my will, roots twitching beneath the soil like my own tendons.

“They failed me. My own daughter managed to turn her back on me. She is soft, gentle.” I whispered to the shadows. “And now… I will make more. I’m going to need true allies. It seems to me that having a child as an ally is not going to work, and I was going to need to make do with what I had, with what I could afford to find, as if this is not going to be my child.”

The circle of my newest creations lay in a half-moon around me. Unconscious wolves, some from broken rogue lines, others stolen from Giovanni’s ranks, each one hand-selected for their pain. Their grief. Their desperation. The easiest to twist. The most ripe to fall.

And I was more than just excited about it, I was taking advantage of everyone of them.

“You will rise for me, I know that it might seem different for you, but you will grow stronger.” I said, kneeling beside a trembling body. “Not for him. Not for your packs. For me. We will all stand by one another side as a team and everyone who has hurt you, who has broken you, who has thought about taking advantage of anything that you had, they will end. And it will happen at our hands as a team, together.”

My hand hovered above a young wolf’s forehead, and the mist responded like an obedient pet, slithering down my arm, sinking into his skin.

He convulsed.

Twitched.

Then… smiled.

A twisted, vacant grin.

The others would follow.

And they would all kneel before me, where I would be able to control each and every one of them. Where I would be able to make sure that neither one of them fell through the top of anyone else, fell to the lies that anyone else would feed them. It was my power that they needed, my power that I was going to feed.

Giovanni had warned me not to touch his men again. Had ordered me, with all the arrogance of a male who still believed he was Alpha of something. As if his leash on me hadn’t already frayed. As if he did not understand that he could just drop dead by word from me. But I needed him alive for now.

However, a challenge was always good.

I wanted him to try and come.

Let him try to reclaim what was never his to begin with.
