Ascension of a Gamma

Chapter 70 Miracles Happen

Llam squeezed my hand. I leaned into his chest and he hugged me to hitu. Beside me was Carson,

and i at the seats opposite us, Gale and Sabri. We were in the lobby, waiting for Lexy or any of her staff

to inform us of the result of the operation.

When I passed out, so did Rigel. The wound had closed, and he expelled the poison, but how he was

still alive with a silver bullet inside him, was a mystery. In a way, my own gift scared me. Tf word about

it spread, the pack might make trore enteries than before and would suffer more attacks.

Liam told me he had to keep it a secret even from the pack, so when Rigel’s wound closed, they

somehow made it appear like I only expelled the wolfsbane.

None of them would tell me the details.

| It didn’t settle well with me.

Can’t we trust our own pack with a secret?

He said he didn’t want to risk it. We left it at that. There was a bigger issue at the moment, which was

again related to me Liam and I talked about it – we weren’t merging our packs, but the Red Claw Pack

would help the Black Mist Pack recover. Between Alphas, we formed an alliance.

I was glad he took it so well. He’d been very supportive of my decision. I was the first female Alpha and

the first to be both an Alpha and a Luna, although the latter was yet to be made.”official”.

Alphas of other packs quickly heard about me that they demanded a meeting. They were quite civil of

their hostility and were aware that I was wolf-less. However, they couldn’t do anything about it. – hone

of them nor any other alliance could force me to choose a side. The Red Claw Pack and its alliances

were allied with the Black Mist Pack, and although not an official ally, the newly formed New Moon pack

voiced out their support.

It was difficult seeing Flynn and Salina. Then again, they themselves were breaking the norm= an

Alpha allowing his Luna to attend an Alpha meeting. Perhaps he had changed, and he wasn’t the Flynn

I knew before. Perhaps someday, when I could face the scars that he gave me, I could also learnt o

forgive him, just like how I learned to forgive my fathers and Alpha Fraser.

They kept the truth from me, but they raised me as one of them. Alpha Fraser was a compassionate

Alpha. The fact that my Mother was treated well with them, and that he gave me a place in his pack I

couldn’t simply waive these. I’d always be grateful to him and Beta Colton.

Aiden stood as my father in every way. We weren’t related by blood, but we held a stronger bond. He’d

always be my father, and I was so, so proud to be the daughter of a brave and kind man.

It felt like pushing them around, and it reminded me of Myron. However, unlike him, I wasn’t going t

ouse this power to force the other packs to submit or to wage war upon them. Instead, it’d be used in

forging a future that Father envisioned where the burden of our generation didn’t have to be passed

unta the next

Liam and I talked things over – everything from what happened that night I caught them. I was really

stupid to let her get into my head. 2

So far, things were going well between us. Despite everything that happened, I was happy, and there

was so much to look forward to.

“Alpha, Luna.”

We all stood as a nurse came over to us. She smiled and broke the news. “The operation is a success.

Head Gamma will be moved to the recovery ward. You may visit him there.”

Sabri started sobbing, Gale assisting her as she sat back down.

Thank you, Goddess.

Thank you,” said Liam.

The nurse nodded then left. Helet out a relieved sigh then slumped on the chair. He’d been worrying Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

about Rigel though he tried his best to hide it. Unfortunately for him, Lexy taught me well and I learned

fast. I even picked up new ones, but these were just between my Alpha and me.

I kissed his cheek and smiled up at him. The minimal noise in the lobby was interrupted when Aunty

came running in. “Is it over?” she asked, more like screamed. For someone who was always appeared to be in control, she was a panicking mess today. “He’s fine, Aunty),” I replied, walking over

to her, and giving her a hug. “They’re moving him to the recovery ward. We can visit him later.”

“Thank, Goddess!” she exclaimed.

She pulled away and went to Sabri. It was heartwarming to see a more human side to Aunty J. She

was like a machine in the kitchens, but outside, she was a mother… who was about to become a

grandmother!

“We’re going for now, Aunty J, Sabri,” said Liam, getting up. “We’ll come by again later.”

“Of course,” said Aunty), hugging him. “I’ll have them prepare a hot meal for you two.

Thank you, Aunty J.”

T’ll have to leave for now, too,” said Gale.

He looked the worst among us. There was something bothering him, and I had a hunch it had

something to do with my Uncle, but if he didn’t want to talk about it, I figured it’d be best to let him b

41 have something to pick up from the mall today. But I’ll be back for my brother.”

I’m staying,” said Carson when we all turned to him. “You know why.”

“See you later, Car,” I said, waving to him. After he left the White Lake Pack to be with Lexy, I offered

him the Beta position. Being my best friend and impliedly the husband of my, hopefully, sister-in law, he

accepted

What can I say? He loves me.

“See you, Bella.”

On our Way Out, Ethan and Nalla walked in. After a brief rechange, they joined up with Sabrand Aunty

L. We bid goodbye to Gale, then we headed back to the castle.

The surrounding tres provided shade, and it’d been some time since we went out for a walk, just the

two afus.

“Won’t you tell me how you planned the attack?he asked.

I giggled, grinning up at him. There was no way I was telling him.

The Blue Moon Pack, deemed to be an impenetrable pack, was taken down under the leadership ofm y

wolf-less mate,” he said, sounding awed.

“Yes, it was,” I replied.

“How?”

“I’ll never tell.”

“My grandfather used to speak highly of ‘The Phantom General’. He said the Gerteral’s plans secured

their victories. It was during his years and he told me this when Dad had already taken over and the

Old Alliance was disbanded.”

Alpha Fraser called Father with the nickname once, but Father warned him not to use it again. I

dismissed it as a joke and hadn’t thought about it since.

*You take after him, don’t you?” he asked, holding my mind.

“I don’t know. He taught me…things… but it was all part of try training,” I shrugged.

He suddenly pulled me to his side then kissed the top of my head. “You are fucking amazing, babe. I

should have Rigel train under you,” he said, chuckling at his own words.

“Actually… I was thinking… that maybe I could train with you?” I asked, hoping he’d say yes. Being in

the frontlines was dangerous as it was exhilarating, but if I could protect my pack by doing so…

“I’d love to see you in action, babe,” he replied, grinning.

“Yes!” I exclaimed. “Thank you!”

Don’t misunderstand, Anna. I meant action as in training. I won’t let you put yourself in danger again,”

he said firmly.

But

“No buts, babe. Besides, I’d rather have you in Command,” he said, inhaling deeply. “I shouldn’t have

underestimated you.”

I rolled my eyes at him, “I was raised to be the Head Gamma. Give me a gun, and I’ll shoot. Give me a

team, and I’ll plan and lead.”

“You.. didn‘t strike me as the type,” he said, laughing “My Luna won us a pack war: You’re getting

famous, you know.”

Hal Didn’t think i’d have a feared reputation.”

He tipped my chin up.

Cooooo

# Not fear, my love Admiration,” he said, kissing my forehead.

I wouldn’t have realized it if it wasn’t because of you, Liam,” I replied, crossing my hands around his

neck. Thank you.”

Lain leaned closer until our lips met. Dizzying, as his tongue danced with mine, as his teeth tugged o

na my bottom lip. We parted for air, sharing smiles and pure adoration.

Fuck, you’ve no idea how hot you looked then,” he murmured, pecking my lips.

Theld his hand, walking towards the castle before he made a move.

With himn toy my side, even silence was comfortable. These days have been peaceful and emotional

and I was beginning to adjust to my new life now.

In no time, we reached the castle. As soon as the door closed, Liam swept me off my feet, making m

yelp.

“Alone at last,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
