The Alpha King's Heart - Chapter 74: Chapter 74

We went into his office, but this time, with only alpha Mars, beta Steven, and Grayson, I felt his eyes on me but I didn't look at him.
We got situated in the large office and Alpha Mars smiled at me, all this was weird and I didn't want to get familiar with any of them after how shitty they treated me in the past so I didn't smile back.
" So, how may we assist you, Luna Adira?"
" My parents, I want all records of them," I said. That was the last thing he was thinking I'd ask clearly as his eyes widened a little. My ears perked up and I heard the beta's heart pound against his chest. He was worried.
" Well, your parents were private people and I knew nothing about them," he shrugged, getting comfortable in his chair. I exhaled and looked him dead in the eyes.
" You can't know nothing, you're the alpha of this pack and must know everyone," I gritted my teeth.
" Well, we don't know much about them," Beta Steven said in the corner he was standing in and I glared at him, making him uncomfortable as his demeanor changed. The alpha and beta were resolute about not speaking about my parents.
" Are you trying to upset me?" Azriel growled, making them flinch. They didn't meet his gaze as he was too intimidating. I put my hand over him gently, shaking my head.
" Alpha Mars, get up," I commanded and he stood up. He looked perplexed. I read that being an alpha female I have the power to control even the strongest alphas.
" H-how, what are you-"
" Shut up, beta Steven," I ordered and he was silent.
" Sit," I ordered the alpha and he obliged.
" Stand up," he did as I said. I continued ordering him to sit and stand until it finally registered who was in charge here.
" Adira- I ... I how,"
"I didn't ask you to speak, Grayson," I barked harshly.
" Alpha Mars, sit down, and now, I'll ask again; Tell me everything you know about my parents or you will have no pack left to lead," I growled. Alpha Mars's lips were trembling, trying to fight my command to no avail.
" We all met at a young age, so young and we were rogues that time," his voice was soft and his eyes wandered back in time. I didn't know my parents were rogues.
" Feel free to add, beta Steven. Looks like you know this story too," Azriel said in a command.
" Meryl and Ben weren't always rogues though, they came from two powerful packs down south but the packs were warring hence their union wouldn't be accepted so they ran away," he said.
As he walked us through their childhood, I was missing my parents, wishing they could have told me all this themself. After living three years of their lives as rogues, they stumbled across this pack, their alpha was an old cruel drunk who was unjust and mistreated his members so Steven, a pack member begged my father to challenge the tyrannical alpha because he saw how strong dad was. And he was right, my father won the challenge.
" If he killed Alpha then, why didn't he take over the position?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.
" If they did, it would be easy for their families to find them and disrupt the life they built so they put me in their stead and they helped me as beta," Alpha Mars said.
" And you killed them, they were your friends!" I accused bitterly. My fierce aura surrounded the office and made them whimper. Their wolves were submitting to me. Grayson tried to comfort me by placing a hand on my shoulder but I shot him a glare and he stepped back sheepishly, his neck hanging low.
All my parents wanted to do was lead a peaceful and quiet life away from the families that wished to separate them.
" Alphas... Meryl and Ben were both alpha blood and you're a pure alpha female," the beta whispered as realization dawned on him, unable to believe this. I only gave him a dirty look. Could it be that Beta Steven planned their death so that they wouldn't claim what was rightfully theirs in the future? With a heavy heart, I asked him,
" Is that why you killed my parents? So that they shouldn't take back what's rightfully theirs one day?" He looked offended by my question and his eyes darkened.
" Are you accusing me of something, girl?" Steven's tone was defensive.
His hands were now trembling and I mentally called unto my wolf. I wanted to be ready for anything. Even Azriel was silently sizing up alpha Mars. I stood up from my seat and casually walked towards him, making him back away, his face was full of fear and guilt.
" Did you plan my parents' death? You were the one that found the so-called evidence," I said.
" This was my pack, I was the one who asked him to kill my alpha, he should have put me as Alpha!" he shouted and I ducked in time just as his claws extended to scratch my face. All hell broke loose and I scratched his face, my claws were longer than his and did enough damage, and his face was covered in blood. The alpha attempted to stop me but Azriel punched him several times and grabbed him by the throat, for someone who didn't have a wolf, he was strong.
" Stay fucking down!" Azriel growled at Mars.
" No, everyone, let's be cordial!" growled Grayson. He was panicking now. Silently telling his father to stay down and fix this mess but it couldn't be fixed, Steven just confessed to killing my parents and I wasn't going to let it go.
