Alexander:

“Do you want to see mummy?” I said, entering the room with Anastasia in my arms.

Scarlett was still fast asleep, and though I knew that it was due to being as exhausted as she was, I knew that she would be pissed if I let her sleep throughout the whole day.

Scarlett opened her eyes upon hearing my voice as I walked inside the room. Disadvantages of her being a light sleeper at times. She woke up on the lowest of voices and I was thankful that her wolf didn’t wake her when I walked in or out of the room, clearly feeling safe that it was only her mate.

“Hey” Scarlett said, sitting up as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. The fact that I knew that she was still hesitant about being here was not something that I was going to ignore so simply; but I was going to give her time to adjust to everything before proving myself to her. She was going to be my woman, and one way or the other, I wanted her to trust that the last thing that I wanted to do was hurt her.

“Good morning, neonata” I said, sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. She smiled and extended her hands to take Anastasia, and leaning in toward her mother, Anastasia giggled when Scarlett took her in her arms.

“Morning” she said, nodding at me.

“How’d you sleep?” I asked, trying to open a conversation up. She looked at me, studying my expression for a second before smiling in response.

“Well, thank you for asking” she said, and I raised an eyebrow.

“Now, now, what’s with you deciding to be this formal?” I asked, giving her a teasing smile, making her shake her head. I wanted her to be confident around me, and that was not something that I knew would come very easily; however, I was still determined to prove to her that I was not going to hurt her. It was something that I did to her, and despite it being the result of our beautiful little princess, I knew that it was still too early for her to forgive or forget, especially after all the damage that I caused after that.

“I am not being formal, I am being decent” she said, making me laugh. She kissed Anastasia who pulled her hair, and smiling, I extended my hand, removing the strand from between her fingers, not allowing her to pull her mom’s hair. Scarlett didn’t seem to mind though, I knew that she wanted to cherish every moment that she had with her daughter, especially after missing a lot during the first period. I hated that I was also the cause of that, but if I was blessed with another child, I was going to ensure that both she and the baby were safe and bonded. The mistakes that I made this time were not something that I wanted to think of repeating.

“Well, considering the fact that you were naked in front of me a few hours ago, I am surprised that you want to be decent now” I said, wanting to tease her. I expected her to blush; however, my beautiful neonata decided to surprise me with a response that had my blood traveling down south almost immediately:

“I don’t think. it was anything that you haven’t seen before; therefore, I can strip down now, and give you an entire” show if you want” she said, making me gulp. Her eyes met mine, and she bit her bottom lip. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts before getting up from bed, knowing that if things proceeded with this conversation that my plan of ‘self control’ would be completely ignored, and that I would end up claiming her as mine, here, and now.

“Scarlett, you are playing a very dangerous game, I will warn you about that” I said, turning to the door. She smiled, and winking at me, she didn’t respond as she watched me walk out of the room. My heart raced against my chest, and standing by the door, I forced myself to take a deep breath before adjusting my c*ck’s position, not wanting to be seen with a boner. It was bad enough that I had to take a cold shower to tame the first one, I didn’t want to end up with a second one. Otherwise, jerking off would be my only option. “Alpha?” Nile, one of my men said, walking toward me as he saw me walking down the stairs. I knew that we had a few things to talk about. The pack members did try leaving the territory despite my warning last night, but I was busy with my mate to go and cairn them down Plus, I knew that there were men assigned to ensure that they didn’t, therefore, I was not too worried “what do you want us to do to them?”

“Assemble them all, I’ll decide on a proper punishment once I’ve seen their faces…”

“What did I tell you last night before shifting?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at the pack member_; who looked down at their laps, avoiding my eyes. Their parents, who I knew were scared to death, stood in complete silence, knowing that one wrong word would cause them to also be punished, and that won’t be doing them any good.

“Didn’t I warn you about leaving the territory? Heck, say I didn’t warn you, didn’t your wolves warn you about going against your Alpha? Because I know for fact that all your wolves would submit. This was an act of a human, or a wolf that wants to go rogue” I said, making the pack members gasp. The kids started crying, and the mothers tried taking a step forward to fend for their kids; however, their mates stopped them, holding them back, and not allowing them to approach.

This was one of the reasons why I didn’t like the mothers to be around when discussing matters with their kids. The mothers could go on ahead, wanting to fend for their kids, and that would sometimes lead their kids to believe that I was being unfair to them; however, I knew that had this been another Alpha, he wouldn’t have cared whether or not they were still inexperienced. The first time was a warning, the second, they would be facing dire consequences without question. I have seen my own father take such harsh decisions, and despite knowing that sometimes, this was the best way to act, especially as an Alpha, I knew that it was too cruel for me to do it. Yes, I knew that the kids deserved it, but I also knew that whatever punishment I decided, the main affected person would be their mothers. Their fathers would hold strong, but the breakdown would come from the women who have felt their kids inside them.

“Well, which one is it?” I asked, glaring at them, watching as some of them started crying. The mothers were still held back by their mates, and shaking my head at them, I turned my attention to the parents.

“Did I not inform you to warn your children not to leave the pack’s grounds? Were you not aware that they would be punished for doing so?” I said, glaring at them “and do not tell me that they are kids, there are wolves their ages, running packs, and it has nothing to do with the fact that they have Alpha blood. Some of them are well disciplined. Others know not to cross their limits and surpass what their

Alpha says”

“Alpha, please…”

“Please what?” I asked, stopping the mother “did I not warn them? Were they or you not informed that they would be punished?”

“You did, but Alpha…”

“What would another Alpha do if they disobeyed?” I asked the woman “what would your older Alpha do?”

The woman froze, knowing II at her past Alpha would have killed them. The woman came from another pack after finding her mate, and upon hearing my question, she went completely silent, no longer objecting. I shook my head and turned to the kids “you will all he looked in cells. No food, no water for the whole day. One meal would come at night, a loaf of bread and water. And that would be your punishment for the next three days”

“Alpha…”

“One more word and I would make them stay in the cells for a week. Object, and they will be there until_ the next shift” I said, stopping the mother from talking. None of the other pack members opened their mouths, and nodding at the men, I motioned for them to take the kids, knowing that they wouldn’t be getting up on their own. I looked at them, watching as they walked forward, heading toward the towers without saying a word, knowing that they couldn’t before turning to the parents, giving them my final warning about the topic.

“Today, I was kind enough to allow you to try and object and to simply punish them” I said, my voice threateningly low “the next time, I will be sure that they are kicked out, and anyone who wants to object is going to follow, do you understand me?”

“Yes, Alpha” they said, hesitantly. I looked at mom who was watching the scene from a distance. Her and I were yet to talk to her about her insulting Scarlett or threatening her the way that she did. I walked toward her, before stopping to look at the pack members over my shoulder.

“Clear things here and go tend to your duties. I don’t want anyone slacking”
