Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Hard Hazel.

*~Hazel’s POV~*

Soon enough, everyone had gathered where I wanted them. The entire pack of Blue Moon sat before me in the clearing, their eyes fixed on me. Klaus and Leon stood in the middle of them like twin pillars, their stares hard and unreadable as they watched me.

A voice rose from the crowd. "Where is our Alpha?"

"Your Alpha is currently not available," I said, my voice steady. "But in his absence, I will be taking over. I will be the Alpha."

Gasps and murmurs rippled through the wolves like a wave.

"Calm down and listen to your Alpha," Klaus commanded. His tone cracked across the crowd like a whip. He glanced at me, and I held his gaze. We exchanged a single, silent nod before I stepped forward.

"He has made me the Alpha for now," I announced.

"Impossible!" one wolf snarled. "Alpha Cayden would never appoint someone without telling us—the wolves of Blue Moon!"

I inhaled slowly, fighting the surge of power that wanted to break loose. Try not to lose it, I told myself.

"There’s no need for him to tell you," I said, voice dropping into something colder, heavier. "Even without the title of Alpha, I am your Luna and Beta’s wife. And with or without that title, I can still tell you what to do and what not to do."

The wolf opened his mouth to speak again, but my aura snapped like a blade. "If I hear another word from you," I said softly, dangerously, "you will be sent out. And trust me, it will not be easy for you if I send you out."

Silence fell like a stone.

I straightened. "Recently, our old nightmare has returned. I assume you all know the name Dahlia."

The effect was immediate. Every single wolf went still, hearts pounding so loudly I could almost hear the thundering beats in my ears. That was the effect I wanted.

"She’s back," I continued. "And this time, she’s stronger. She has more power, more armies. To bring Dahlia down, we must be united. If we divide, we will fall. But if we stand together..." My voice deepened. "...we will hold an absolute power no one can take from us."

"Are you with me?" I asked.

Only a few responded, hesitant.

"You’re not with me?" I said, voice darkening. "Fine. Watch as she comes and takes over your pack. Watch how your wives, your children, your families are crushed. Watch her claim New Orleans, your homeland, your city. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?"

The crowd shivered, a rumble starting deep in their chests. The tension inside me boiled hotter, my wolf pushing at the edges of my skin.

"So," I roared, "who is with me?"

A howl erupted—first one, then another, then the entire pack until the sound filled the air like thunder.

Good.

I gestured to my aunt for Klaus and Leon to follow me. We slipped into a corner, away from the murmuring wolves, and stopped. I turned to them sharply.

I pointed at Leon. "You. Ensure every wolf is accounted for, properly trained, well‑equipped, and well‑fed. We don’t know where Dahlia is yet, but once we do, we’ll travel to her. I don’t want anyone weak or faltering. I want them to stand strong. You know what kind of enemy Dahlia is."

Leon nodded grimly.

I turned to Klaus. "Father, assist Leon in everything he’s doing. And also..." my voice softened, "...my father is still in the chamber up there. I know you’re my father and we’re not exactly on speaking terms, but promise me you’ll keep him safe. Once this is over, we’ll decide what to do with him."
