Alpha Eric's Promise, Protecting those he loves

The Confrontation

Ella's POV

Eric's world crumbled around him. "Impossible," he whispered.

Ryker's expression remained grim. "The evidence points to Richard Drake, Alpha Richard?

Eric's eyes locked onto mine, searching for answers.

"How could he?" Eric asked.

I had no words.

Eric's phone buzzed.

"Ryker, take care of Ella and the children," Eric said.

"Where are you going?" I asked. Eric's jaw clenched.

"To confront my father, the Alpha.

Eric arrived at his pack.

Richard Drake, the Alpha, his father, stood calm.

"Eric, son," Richard said.

"You're mistaken," Eric spat.

"About what?" Richard asked.

"Victoria's hospital," Eric replied.

Richard's smile twisted.

"You don't understand."

Eric's anger boiled.

"Explain."

Alpha Richard's eyes turned cold. "I protected our family's legacy."

Eric's face paled.

"At what cost?"

Richard shrugged.

"Whatever necessary."

Eric's world shattered.

His own father, a mastermind of deceit.

Eric returned to the safe house.

His eyes told a story of pain.

"Ella," he whispered.

"I'm sorry."

I wrapped my arms around him.

"We'll face this together."

Eric's gaze locked onto mine.

"Together."

Aria and Alex played outside.

Unaware of the storm brewing.

As night fell. Eric's arms enveloped me.

"We'll bring them down," he vowed.

Together.

Eric's determination ignited a fire within me.

"We'll need allies," Eric said, his eyes burning with resolve.

"Who?" I asked.

 "Ryker, and others we can trust," Eric replied.

Together, we strategized.

Ryker arrived, his expression grim.

"Richard Drake's empire is vast," Ryker warned.

"But we have evidence," Eric countered.

"Enough to bring him down?" Ryker asked. Eric nodded.

"We'll make sure."

Days passed, our team gathering proof.

Documents, recordings, and witnesses.

The case against Richard Drake the Alpha grew stronger. But danger lurked.

Richard's henchmen closed in.

"We need to move," Eric urged. "Where?" I asked.

"A safe location," Eric replied.

"Until the trial."

The courtroom buzzed with tension. Richard Drake stood calm.

Eric's testimony shook the room. "Ella's mother, Victoria, was a pawn," Eric said.

"My father manipulated her."

The jury's eyes widened.

Richard's face paled.

The verdict: Guilty.

Richard's empire crumbled.

Justice prevailed.

Relief washed over me as the judge delivered the verdict. Eric's hand tightened around mine, a silent celebration.

Richard's gaze locked onto Eric, filled with venom.

"You'll pay for this betrayal," Richard snarled.

Eric stood tall, unwavering.

"You've lost," Eric said. "Your empire, your legacy – all gone." The courtroom erupted into chaos.

Ryker stepped forward, flanked by other pack members. "It's over," Ryker declared. "Richard Drake, you're no longer our Alpha."

The pack's murmurs of agreement grew louder.

Richard's eyes flashed with anger, but he was surrounded. Guards led him away, the sound of handcuffs echoing. Eric's grip on my hand remained firm.

"It's done," Eric whispered.

I nodded, tears streaming down my face.

Aria and Alex rushed into the courtroom. "Mom! Eric!" Aria exclaimed.

The children hugged us tightly. "We did it," Eric said, smiling. Justice had been served.

But as we walked out of the courtroom, I sensed unease.

Richard's threat lingered.

Would his loyal followers seek revenge?

Eric's determination remained unwavering.

"We'll protect our family," Eric vowed. Together, we faced the uncertain future.

Our bond remained unbroken.
