5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 106

Falco rubbed his temples early in the morning. His head hurt so much that he thought it was going to explode and he couldn’t concentrate on his work, and he had a lot of it. The events of the night haunted his mind and he couldn’t separate what was true from a dream. It had all happened so fast it was confusing.

He growled in alarm at the two wolves in front of him waiting for documents to be signed, they backed away accordingly. Falco was a wolf with a temper, but he was always in control of himself, so seeing him in this state was a novelty.

-Hey, don’t harass my guards,” Dmitri’s voice boomed as he came through the door.

Falco raised his head and raised an eyebrow.

-I have no need to harass anyone,” he replied gruffly.

-Wow, a certain wolf got up with his left paw,” Mitya squealed and, passing by the two wolves, waved them out, “I’ll take care of it,” he muttered and they both took off with their tails between their legs before falling victim to… whatever it was.

The Commander turned to the beta with a grimace on his face.

-What? -Falco clicked his tongue at the twin’s stare.

-What’s wrong with you? It’s not normal for you to be like this. You’re the most… focused of us all. Even with this situation my brother’s going through.

Falco dropped his head into his hands and sighed. Mitya was pretty straightforward when he put his mind to it, and it was hard to hide anything from him.

-Tonight… something really strange happened,” he pursed his lips into a fixed line, feeling the other wolf sit on the edge of the table and cross his arms over his broad chest. It wasn’t easy to talk about his intimate problems, but he felt that if he didn’t he would explode, “I was dreaming that… I had s*x with Bastian.

Mitya blinked several times with an unhinged face as he heard him say that.

-Wait, wait, I expected everything but that. You? Having s*x with Bastian? But you’ve spent the last few years treating him like a flea,” Dmitri didn’t get it… until he noticed the beta’s face, “No, wait. Did you…” From astonishment he began to laugh out loud.

-Don’t laugh,” Falco grunted with a slight blush, “I knew I shouldn’t have said anything to you. You’re not serious.

Mitya made an effort to stop laughing and straighten up.

-You’re telling me you treat him like this because you’re shy, aren’t you? Are you embarrassed?

Falco’s face took on a reddish hue the Commander had never seen before.

-I… I just don’t know how to behave in front of him. Bastian is the Alpha’s protégé, I’m his Beta. And he’s too…” Falco justified himself.

-Innocent? -Dmitri finished the sentence, making the beta drop his shoulders wearily, “You’re stupid. The wolf is crazy about you. He’s been telling you that ever since he met you. I don’t know why you limit yourself with him.

-You wouldn’t understand.

-No, I don’t understand. Are you in love with him? -Dmitri blurted out, completely serious.

Falco raised his face so fast that his neck thundered.

-I… I…” The words stuck in his throat.

A smile appeared on the twin wolf’s lips.

-You’re crazy about him,” he nodded.

Falco froze. It was one thing if he was thinking it, but it was quite another if someone told him and made him aware that yes, he really was in love with him. It had taken him years of sweat to admit it and a lot of persecution from the wolf.

He ran his hand over his head and the images of the night before came flooding back.

-There’s still something else you haven’t told me,” the Commander questioned him with his eyes, “What is it?

Falco leaned back against the back of his seat.

-Last night I woke up suddenly when I had my o****m. It felt so real I couldn’t help but open my eyes. And god, it had been real.

-Yyyyyy? -Dmitri was getting desperate.

-That when I opened my eyes there was a person with me in my bed. It wasn’t just a dream. Someone made me do it.

Mitya grimaced in acceptance.

-And who was it?

Falco shook his head.

-I don’t know. I was confused at the time, my wild side was awake and out of control, and I just attacked. It was a natural reaction to noticing that someone was in my room.

Mitya opened his mouth.

-Did you attack?

Falco nodded.

-I couldn’t help it. I only reacted after my mind cleared.

-Tell me you know who he is. You must have seen or smelled him.

-I don’t know,” Falco looked frustrated, “My pupils were dilated from the transformation, and my pheromones were so thick they flooded the room and overshadowed all scent of the other wolf.

Mitya pursed his lips.

-What? What do you want to tell me? -the beta pressed.

Mitya ran his hand through his dark hair.

-Well, yesterday one of the guards saw someone come out of your room and run down the corridor.

Falco rose from his seat.

-Who was it?

Mitya stared at him.

-It was Bastian.

…

…

…

Falco slumped back in his chair with a thud. Of all people, it was Bastian who had been in his room. At the worst time. And not only that. If he remembered correctly… he had attacked him. It had hurt him. He flinched, but before he could speak the door was suddenly flung open.

A wolf rushed in, panting and his face flooded with panic.

-Beta, Commander, bad news.

And the two of them knew what had happened.

The two wolves ran to where they knew the disaster was happening and the scene they saw was so familiar that they could only approach. Dante was leaning against the wall outside the room where the she-wolf carrying her pup was resting. But he was far from happy. Rather, his shoulders were shaking and his dark hair covered his leaning face.

-Brother,” Mitya approached him and tapped him on the shoulder.

-Again, Mitya,” the alpha’s voice was broken. His face couldn’t be seen, but his brother was sure he was crying.

It wouldn’t be the first time, but it was always very painful when the puppy he was waiting for died during pregnancy or in childbirth.

No one said anything, the few wolves that were there remained silent until the door opened. Edgar came out crestfallen, wiping his bloodstained hands on a handkerchief.

Alpha, the she-wolf is very weak due to complications from the birth. The cub… didn’t make it,” his tone of voice trailed off.

Dante just swallowed dryly, not moving, yet everyone could see his body trembling. Once again the alpha was deprived of his offspring, even though he wanted it so badly.

-Dante,” Bastian’s voice was heard along with his footsteps running down the hallway.

He didn’t have to wait to be told what was happening to know.

-Dante,” his voice was very soft as he stopped in front of him and touched his arm.

But Dante snarled and moved away from everyone, so fast that they couldn’t react, and his body transformed, splintering through the window into a thousand fragments. Both Edgar and Mitya ran to the window and watched him walk away in pain. It was always the same pattern, so they knew it was still going on.

There was only one person who could get close to him in the coming days of the alpha’s depression. So Bastian hurried down the hallway to follow when his arm was grabbed by thick fingers.

A g***n of pain escaped his lips and he tried to pull away. Turning around he noticed that it had been Falco who had grabbed him. The wolf blanched.

-Bastian,” the beta moved towards him, but it caused Bastian to back up and run away, leaving him dazed.

The wolf had intentions of following him. A strange feeling stirred inside him that told him not to let him go at that moment. But he was going to comfort the alpha so he didn’t hold him back. Still, he was not comfortable. He’d seen fear in his eyes for a few seconds. Fear of him.

That and the bandaged wound he had seen on his arm verified that he had been the wolf that had been in his room.
