Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 146

Victor's

POV

THE moment the door to the office closes, I pulled myself up from the wheelchair that Richard was pushing.

I loosened the tie that Lauren carefully placed on my neck this morning. I also removed the suit jacket and retained the white dress shirt that was already stained with blood. Not mine, of course.

"You should clean up, Alpha."

I glanced at my beta as I fold the sleeves of the shirt I was wearing. There was a tear in the upper forearm on my left.

"Doctor Blanco will not appreciate if she saw you with the blood on your shirt, Sir."

I nodded.

A few minutes ago, Jason and I had an altercation that led to his demise. When he saw that I can stand on my feet, he attacked me.

Since Kent has been maddened by his show of arrogance in the meeting with the elders, my wolf feed me his anger that led to me having the maximum strength as a human. Kent and I knew that it was not the right time to show them that I found my wolf already. Motivated by anger, Jason confronted me.

By the use of my muscles and knowledge in combat, I was able to defend myself against Jason even in his wolf form. He was all talk. He was never a fighter to be measured against an alpha like me.

With a few swipes and defenses, Jason was on the floor lifeless. His eyes remained open even in the last second of his life. I did not feel any remorse when I saw the light went out from his eyes.

The other representatives of the influential families of the tribe and the elders witnessed how Jason Andrews died in my hand, a wolfless and injured alpha of the Midnight Claws Tribe.

I dropped on the ground after my fight with Jason. I had to show the witnesses that my strength was temporary. That I only rely on my human strength as a long-time warrior not on my wolf. That I was able to stand on my feet due to adrenaline and as a defense against someone who was trying to hurt me.

Richard helped me stand on my 'useless' feet and returned me to the wheelchair. My beta was also the one who dismissed the meeting. However, the people who witnessed the encounter still bear the knowledge that I still hold the position of the alpha of the tribe. That the person who challenged me is dead.

That I was able to defend my position even without of wolf.

"Get rid of the body. Sent it to his family." I ordered my beta.

"Yes, alpha."

Jason Andrews' mangled body was left in the conference room when the meeting adjourned.

"Tell the guardians to be alert and the people that were following Lauren and Mila should be more careful."

"Yes, Sir."

Not long after my instructions to Richard, members of the Andrew family barged in my study. Fury was plastered in their faces. I was not able to detect grief in any of them.

"Alpha, they refused to leave the premises of the estate." Richard explained. He was behind the five members of the Andrew clan.

I recognized the two older men and a woman. They were siblings of Jason's father who was dead already. The two younger men were also glaring at me with too much resentment in their eyes. They were also trying to intimidate me with their bulging muscles. I was behind the table and sitting in the swivel chair when they arrived. I was looking at the lawn outside by the windows.

"To who do I owe the pleasure of having all of you in my office?" I asked as I faced them.

"You killed Jason."

I leaned my back on the swivel chair I was sitting on. I gave them my full attention. I noticed the only woman in the group stared at my shirt.

I am still wearing the white shirt that has Jason's blood on it. I did not mean it to serve as a trophy for them but it appeared that it fueled the hatred of my newly arrived guests towards me.

"I did. He challenged me for the alpha position in front of the elders. He attacked me in his wolf form." I disclosed.

It appeared that they did not like what I said that they growled altogether.

"You should have stepped down and handed the position to someone who deserve it." The woman snarled at me. Her eyes turned green.

"To Jason?" I asked.

I am still calm despite the hatred that my guests have been sending my way. Meanwhile, Kent was observing them. My wolf did not like the disrespect that he has been receiving from this particular family.

I spoke again when no one answered me.

"How could he assume my position when he cannot even defeat me in my human form? I have not yet recovered from the damage I received from the Enchantress yet the man that you have been pushing to become my successor died in my hands in minutes." I said with mockery. "You wolfless bastard!"

"No matter how stronger you said to be, it will not change that you lost your wolf. An alpha must have a wolf."

"You will die!"

"Your life for his!"

"I will have your head."

They all said it simultaneously. It infuriates me than the fact that they confront me in my own home.

In turn, Kent roared in rage. My wolf has been trying to suppress his resentment to these insolent people but they have been testing my patient.

In a matter of seconds, I shifted into my wolf and leapt in the air.

My huge wolf fell on all fours in front of the startled Andrews. Their eyes widen at the what has unfolded before their eyes. Gone were the fearless individuals that entered the study.

I knew that I am larger than most shifters even to alphas in general. The mere sight of me shook a normal wolf. It rattled them that they had to question themselves if they will fight back or flee. "Bow on me!"

My voiced thundered in the study. Kent was livid that he snarled at each lowlife shifters in front of them.

The five shifters stared at me in shocked. The anger in their faces transformed into fear. I could see their bodies started shaking.

They were trying to terrorize me minutes ago. In their minds, I cannot fight back because I have no wolf. They threatened me when they came in numbers. They hope to see me shaking by seeing them united. "This can't be!"

"No. Kent can't be back!"

"But I am back." Kent muttered with pride. "I am the alpha of Midnight Claws Tribe. Respect that or leave the tribe."

Thoughtless, the young shifters pounced on me together. They swing they front paw like an amateur fighter. Needless to say, a simple swipe from me they hurled to the wall beside the door.

My beta watched them as they groaned in pain on the carpeted floor. Richard shrugged his shoulders when they remained on the floor. He even straightened as his attention went back to his alpha.

I drew near the older Andrews. The woman stepped back but the two men beside her tried to act brave but their legs betrayed them. They were shaking up to tips of their toes.

Not only the massive size of Kent overwhelmed them but also the domineering power that radiates from him. Every part of his body was packed with muscled that underwent rigorous training.

"Do you still believe that I do not deserve to be in my position?" I asked as I walked closer. Every step from me earned a gasp from each of them. I can almost touch the fear from every breath they made. "N-no."

"Are you going to challenge me like what your nephew did? He was conceited enough to declare that it was a fight to death."

"You're a murderer."

"Am I?" My eyes fixed on the female Andrew. "Jason asked for it. He has been asking for it. He questioned my leadership as an alpha when I lost my wolf. He wanted to fight me when he thought I am weak. His arrogance killed him."

Unable to accept my dispute, one of the older male Andrews leapt but he was welcomed by my claws. He ended on the other side of the two other fallen relatives. He was grazed by my claws from the underside of his b****t down to the lower belly. Blood poured from his wounded abdomen.

He crawled away holding his blooded middle. Terror was plastered on his ashen face.

Kent is out for blood.

"How many more Andrews will challenge me before all of you yield?" I said in a calm and clear voice. "Kent is back. I am back stronger than before."

With a war cry, the remaining Andrews rushed. They were targeting my sides separately. Invigorated by their audacity to undermine my ability as an alpha, I jumped behind them before they could reach me.

I grabbed their napes and knocked them together. Twice. Their squealed reverberated in the study. I threw their weak body by the door.

Richard remained on his post as he stood ramrod straight. The piling number of injured individuals affect him no more.

I howled.

I knew that I am heard in the whole estate.

"Yield before me! I am your alpha!"
