Love Times Four My Stepbrothers Are My Mates (Alayah) novel Chapter 122

**When Broken Stars Drift Across Empty Midnight Skies**

Wolf, despite his size, stood no chance against Topaz. He was smaller and considerably slower, and as I watched the confrontation unfold, I felt a wave of relief wash over me when Topaz decisively ended his life. The second Alpha, however, was a different story—more arrogant, more reckless. As he argued with his Wolf, Topaz seized the opportunity to confront him, her strength undeniable.

I couldn’t help but ponder the daunting challenge ahead. Two more Packs to manage? The thought was overwhelming. Yet, I had faith in our Mate. She always seemed to possess an uncanny foresight, prepared for whatever obstacles lay in our path. It was almost as if she could predict the future, always a step ahead of everyone else.

After today’s display of power, I hoped no Alpha in their right mind would dare challenge her again. I stepped into the Arena, heart racing, to deliver some clothes to her before she transitioned back to her Human form. As I approached, she pressed her snout against my chest, a comforting gesture that made me feel connected to her in that moment. I gently slid my hand through her fur, feeling the warmth radiate from her.

Once she was dressed, I enveloped our Mate in my arms, kissing her deeply, a declaration of our bond that I wanted the entire audience to witness. My brothers quickly followed suit, showering her with kisses in front of a sea of Alphas, Betas, Gammas, and other high-ranking Wolves and Lycans. It was a powerful display of unity and love, one that resonated in the air around us.

Elder Aimi stepped forward, addressing the Alphas with a firm tone. “You can return home now. The Elders expect you to cease your complaints, or you may find yourselves facing Alpha Alayah next.” With that, she turned and walked away, leaving a palpable tension in her wake. We trailed behind her into the office on the ground floor, where I was not surprised to see the remaining leaders of the Winter Moon Pack and Frozen Forest Pack waiting.

“Gentlemen, please take your seats,” Alayah commanded as we entered. They complied without hesitation, sensing the authority in her voice. “I am aware that your Alphas remain unmated, and I’m relieved that I didn’t have to subject anyone innocent to unnecessary pain. Betas, from now on, you will report to me daily, and this will continue until I appoint someone to represent me as the Alpha of your Pack.”

Her words were decisive, and I admired her ability to take charge. “Gammas, you will coordinate with Gamma Bastian. He will oversee your training schedules, border patrols, and all matters concerning the security of my Pack,” she continued, her confidence unwavering.

“Beta Anton will provide you with my Pack rules. Ensure that every member is informed. If I discover that anyone has been left in the dark or if any rules are broken, the consequences will be severe. Are there any questions?” she asked, allowing them a moment to contemplate.

“When will you visit the Winter Moon Pack?” one of the Betas inquired, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at Alayah’s response. “We will visit when we have time,” she said, her tone casual but with an underlying hint of mischief. I could easily envision us arriving unexpectedly, perhaps in a day or two, after leaving Bronze Crest Pack, with a new Pack member in tow to represent her as Alpha.

“Make sure every Pack member is aware of what transpired here today. We will not tolerate any disrespect towards our Mare-bond,” Noah growled, and I watched as every member from our new Packs instinctively bared their necks in submission. Each time this happened, it surprised me anew; we had been raised as Gammas, and the aura we now possessed was far stronger than what we had once held.

“Beau, please escort them out. I have finished with them,” Alayah instructed, and I sensed the Elders were in for a surprise. “Elder Aimi, I wish to speak with the Elders, and I will not accept a refusal,” she asserted, and Aimi smiled, gesturing towards the door.
