His Unwanted Gamma novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Elara’s POV

The last time I was at Thorne’s office, things were different. There were no guards stationed outside, no one blocking the door. That time, I walked ki find Silvia–Garron’s sister–pawing all over him like she had some right to be there.

But tonight? Tonight was different.

As I stepped up to the door of his office, I came face to face will Silvia again. This time, though, the guards didn’t hes statues, blocking her path,

Her voice v was desperate. “Please… just let me talk to him. Let me in, I swear I won’t cause trouble. You guys!

s let me in before, remember

One of the guards responded flatly, “We can’t, Miss. Alpha doesn’t want to see you

Her face twisted in disbelief. “You didn’t even check with him! How do you know whether he wants to see me or not?”

The guards exchanged a glanced, clearly uncomfortable. But then one spoke up, a bit more sternly “Your brother–the former Gamma–caused enough problems for the pack. The Alpha is dealing with that mess right now. It’s best you don’t disturb him.”

That pushed Silvia over the edge. She wasn’t one for subtlety. “You bunch of snobs! You’re only stopping me because my brother’s lost his power My father’s a war hero! He’ll always be a hero!” She spat, stepping forward, trying to push past them. “You wouldn’t even be here if my father hadn’t fought off the rogues! Move. Now”

She charged at them, but the guards weren’t having it. They grabbed her arms, holding her back, and she screamed. “Somebody help Alpha Thome! Your guards are harassing me! They’re ripping my clothes off

“Enough!” I cut through her chaos, stepping out from where I had been watching the whole scene unfold. The guards looked up, wisibly relieved to see me. They quickly bowed their heads, not missing a beat

“Gamma Elara,” one of them began, “Miss Silvia demands to see Alpha Thorne, and we weren’t sure how to handle it.”

I cut him off before he could finish, my eyes foed on Silvia. “Why are you even asking her permission?” Silvia snarled, her words sharp as glass. “She’s an outsider!”

I didn’t flinch, my gaze narrowing as I walked up to her. The cool sarcasm in my voice was like a blade. “Outsider?” I tilted my head, letting the words linger between us. “Should I remind you that I was once the mate of your Alpha and the Luna of Divestone? I share ownership of everything in this pack. Everything–including the ground you’re standing on.”

Silvia’s fury flared, but I held my ground. “Damaged goods, right?” I didn’t give her time to speak before I shot back, “Not anymore. I’m more than that now. I am Gamma, and I’ve got soldiers–soldiers who listen to me. What do you have left?”

She looked like she was about to scream again, but I didn’t give her the chance. The office door swung open, and Thome stepped out, his eyes cold as

steel.

*Silvia,” he said, his voice as sharp as the edge of a kn. “Elara is the most important person in my life. I will pay any price to have her back as my mate, as my Luna. And that means she has every right here, including kicking you out.”

The words hung in the air between us, and Silvia’s anger flickered in her eyes before it faltered. She took a step back, her body shrinking der Thorne’s

Thome turned toward me, the harshness in his expression softening. “You want to come in?”

I didn’t need to be told twice. I nodded, walking past him, but before the door clicked shut, I glanced back at Silvia. “Oh, and one more thing. You don’t need to be Thorne’s mate or Luna to get rid of you. I’m Gamma–what does that make you?”

The door slammed shut, cutting off her screaming, and I could finally breathe again.

Chapter 67

Inside, Thorne looked frustrated. “Sorry you had to see that?

1shrugged, trying to downplay it. “‘s fine. Crazy admirer. I’ve been there?

His brow furrowed. “Crazy nimblems?”

I had a feeling I knew where this was going. “It’s perfectly normal for a woman like me to have admirers, right?”

Thorne’Neet nannwed. “Any I know?”

“Quite a list, huh?” I raised an eyebrow, walking over to the wine cabinet and grabbing a bottle.

Thorne’s eyes followed me, heat burning in them, but his voice dropped, dark and dangerous. “I wish I could mark you as mine inake sure no one else would dare come near you again.

I couldn’t help the sly smile that tugged at my lips, “Well, you can’t”

Thanded him a glass of wine, our fingers brushing lightly as he took it. “You could have,” added, “but you threw that chance away. Remember?”

His grip tightened on the glass, and his jaw clenched. “How many more times will you remind me of the biggest mistake of my life?”

“As many times as I find it amusing,” I said, tipping my glass towards his “Cheers.”

We both drank in silence for a moment, before I glanced down at his desk. The piles of paperwork stacked up in front of him. “What’s all this?”

*The mess Garron left behind,” Thorne muttered, pulling a map from beneath the stack of papers. “And the battle plan.”

I leaned over, my gaze following the path his finger traced. “A report from the border. Rogues are moving eastward?”

“Could be true,” he said, tapping a red circle on the map. “Greenwald Village. I think it’s their first stop.
