First Love Of The Alpha
Chapter 74

Alpha Rodgers POV

I was pacing outside of the pack house waiting for Maddys’ arrival.

Andrew stood awkwardly off to the side. He was a quiet one, or maybe he was just that way with me.

I knew Landyn asked him to join the pack. I would have done the same thing. I just wanted the decision to be Landyns. He would be taking over as Alpha this weekend.

I got the link from the gaurd on duty that they were here, and their suv was headed my way.

I watched three black suv’s pull in front of me.

The queen and king came out of the first one, and I took a bow and showed me a neck to submit to them and show respect. Andrew followed my lead.

I watched Raya and Prince Charles come out of the second with Maddy clenching to Rayas’ hand.

She had the most beautiful Black hair just like me and Landyn. She actually looked a lot like Landyn.

Maddy saw Andrew and instantly ran towards him. He pulled her into his arms and kissed the side of her head. “I missed you, kid.”

Her sweet little voice spoke softly at him. “I missed you to Andy.”

“Maddy girl, there’s someone I want you to meet and there dying to meet you too.”

He carried her towards me. “Maddy, this is Alpha Rodger. “

Maddy put her hand on my cheek. “I know he’s my daddy. My other daddy said I wasn’t his, and Mommy was bad.”

She practically jumped into my arms. I hugged her tightly with a few tears coming from my eyes. She was perfect.

Andrew gave me a small smile. I could tell he was good. I always could tell how Maddy was with him that they had spent a lot of time together, and I was grateful for that.

Andrew started acting funny. He started to sniff the air and look around frantically.

A beautiful leggy blonde came out of the third suv. She was next to a male that I’m assuming is Ace. She had her hand wrapped around his arm. She looked scared.

I could sense she was a witch, which meant that she wouldn’t be able to smell Andrew. She would only know that they were mates when they looked into eachothers eyes.

I heard him growl and knew instantly that his wolf was jealous.

The warlock took a stance in front of her. “Oh boy, this isn’t going to be good.”

The blonde clenched to the back of the warlocks shirt. She was clearly scared of him.

She was the rogue kings prisoner. How did they never meet? Wait, Lexi was his mate. She is his second chance, mate, and they clearly know each other. This is not going to go over well.

Andrew growled even louder the second time. “Get your hands off, my mate.”

Ace yelled loudly back at him. “No, I refuse to let another rogue near her. She’s been through enough. You can thank your dad for that. I couldn’t protect her then, but i can now.”

Andrew’s face faltered. It was like he finally registered who they were. “I’m not my father or my mother. I’m actually going to be joining this pack.”

Aces’ voice was stern. “I understand what you’re saying, Andrew, but now you need to understand what I’m about to say. She was kidnapped at a young age and has been beaten and raped repeatedly courtesy of your father. Now, you need to give her space to process this.”

Andrew went to argue but decided against it and just nodded. He ran towards the woods, shredding his clothes as he shifted into his wolf.

I knew he was hurting. I could tell he would do anything to make sure his mate was okay and happy, and right now, she feared him.

Andrew’s POV

As soon as I had Maddy on the pack grounds and in my arms, I felt relief, knowing she was finally safe and away from the monsterous parents we grew up with and the pack of rogues that ran on impulses.

I’m just glad she has a parent still alive and willing to do anything for her.

I heard a car door open, and my nostrils were hit with the smell of peaches and cream.

I knew I had to look ridiculous sniffing the air like a lunatic.

It took me a moment to comprehend that the moongoddess granted me a second chance, mate.

I gulped down my nerves and the sudden urge to vomit. Why did it have to be now? Why couldn’t it wait till after I became a pack member?

Whoever this indulging scent belonged to most likely wouldn’t want a rogue for a mate.

I stood frozen. The anticipation was killing me, waiting for her to step out of the car.

I saw the feet of male step out first, and as soon as I saw his face, I knew who he was instantly. Ace.

My heart knew who was going to step out after him, and sure enough, there stood Bre holding onto his arm.

She looked stunning. She was clean and in nice clothes. The bags that used to be under her eyes were long gone.

I couldn’t help but stare at the unruly blonde curly hair that reached down to her lower back. It was well taken care of and not a knotted mess I usually have seen it in.

I felt the gut-wrenching feeling of guilt. I knew what the rogues did to her. That amount of times she had endured countless beatings a rape. Her innocence taken long before she was old enough to consent, not that she would have wanted to with those filthy men.

Her hand was firm around his bicep. I growled lightly, just thinking of her being with the warlock.

I watched the warlock take a stance in front of her when they both saw me, and she clenched onto his shirt for dear life.

I couldn’t help the jealousy that overcame me, and i growled loudly. I wanted the warlock away from my mate.

After Ace suggested space, I knew I had no choice. My wolf was pleading with me to stay with her and try to get her to forgive me.

I never agreed with my Dad’s tactics and the way he would torment our prisoners. I wanted no part in any of it. He often would make me watch, and if I refused, I was beaten myself and locked up in a cage like a dog while i was in my room.

She doesn’t know what he put me through when I refuse to rape her. I was in the hospital for weeks. It wasn’t till I woke that I learned that she had been raped in the most brutal way than I could have ever imagined. All because he wanted to punish me for defying him.

I would have taken the beaten over and over again if it meant she could keep her innocence. After that, she was raped weekly.

I desperately wanted to break her free. Even if I could get her out of the dungeons, we both most likely would have been killed.

I’m just glad she’s my second chance mate instead of my fated because if my dad got word that she was my fated, she would have been killed on the spot. All because he wanted me to be with Lily.

I tore through the trees, pushing my wolf harder than I ever have. It took everything in me to keep him from going after his mate.

I realized the sun was setting. I’ve been running all day. I decided it was time that I headed back.

As soon as I got to the packhouse, I ran straight to the room Landyn had given me. It was nicer than anything I’ve ever lived in.

He told me it would be mine permanently or at least till I found a mate and started having a family of my own.

At that moment, I thought it would never happen for me. It was just a dream that would always be out of my reach. But now I’m just praying she will accept me. I’m hoping just maybe I could make that dream come true.
