Chapter 36

“where the fuck is she?” I yell at no one but everyone at the same time. It's been two months and we have not found aria or lady Olivia. I can feel the bond is still whole so I know she is alive but that is all I and Brendon can feel of her. We are both thankful that she's alive but we are also not good company for anyone around. Not to mention we have had to have all the wolves from two packs moved here so that we can accept them to the pack the green lake pack is only temporary until Zane and Kari decide what they want to do with that pack here as an alliance refugee. We are setting up housing and help for those who need it. Also having the medical teams look over them all to make recovery plans. Both Brendon and I know that they will all be under our care once we get our mate back and she would want them all healthy and everyone who wants to train to begin training. After learning they limited how often or when she-wolves could shift we are setting up a plan and space for them to shift and run wild for as long as they want. I have started a list of things to make rules and laws things I’m sure aria would want in place and once she is home to rule over us she will make the final say. Those males who look down on she-wolves will soon learn that the she-wolves are who rule us. We are here to protect them and support them not hold them back.
There is a knock on the door we all look up due to we had not been expecting anyone. “come in.” Daniel walked in “alpha the blood moon pack and the green lake pack has made it here.” he says as he walks in. Just a few weeks ago he was ready to die for not standing up to his alpha sooner but really how could he? I met with both Kari and kade and they agreed that he tried his best to make sure they were loved and happy and growing up safely. They wanted him to have a second chance because they felt he deserved it after all he has been through. I’m hoping he is worth it hearing how he had been living in so much pain from the mate bond all those years. It takes a strong wolf to live through that.
So far since alpha Greene was killed he no longer feels the pain of rejection. He has pledged himself to me even if he is not allowed to join the pack. Over the weeks he has shown just how strong of a wolf he is. No longer held down by the pack he has grown and become who he is meant to be. I can see how he was destined to be a Lune. If he is not on the field training and helping train the younger wolves he is at the daycare helping with the pups. He's even offered to watch little ones so parents can have a night out.
At that rare moment, Daniel is not training or helping in the pack somehow I have had several talks with him. Getting to know him and getting a feel of the real him. I have learned that he hated being in the blood moon pack and was planning to leave once the twins were mated and away from the pack. He only over as beta to save kade from it. With these, he won over not only me but the whole pack. So he will join the others and be offered an elite warrior spot. He and Brendon will be doing the talk with all the blood moon and green lake packs and recommending to have they join or be banished.
“good. Have them go to the dining room and eat then have them shown the barracks to get some rest and let them know we will start the interviews tomorrow.” I reply. As he turns to walk out it reminds me that Zane and Kari still haven't decided what to do with the green lake pack. Looking over at Zane I ask “have you and Kari decided what you plan to do?” sighing he shakes his head but I can see he has something on his mind. “what is it?” I ask. “we have an idea of what we want to do but want to wait until we can talk with the queen about it.” he says. we have to find her soon not just for us but for the pack and all wolves.
I have been staring at the map for hours trying to find someplace we have yet to look. “she is somewhere here I just know it. Whoever is hiding her is using a witch I’m sure of it.” Kari says as paces the room. None of us are doing so well. Brendon and I have been short-tempered lately and the way the wolves look at us shows how worried this could be permanent. Looking up I see the looks they are all giving me growling I throw my coffee mug across the room. I want to know how they are hiding and who the hell is helping them. If I could find out who is helping them I could use that to help me. I am so ready to tear this whole world apart. My anger is rising higher and I know my eyes are bleeding to my wolf. I feel Brendon's hand land on my shoulder. He is trying to help me calm down even if he is feeling just as mad. One of the great things about Brendon is he can keep his temper in check and knows how to handle mine. It's no secret that I have a temper and can lose sight of what is going on in the storm. I tend to see red fast and have always counted on Brendon to ground me when this happens and he has never failed. I start to calm down a little thinking how amazing he is even in anger he is still able to calm me when I am on the brink of losing it. I dought, anyone would blame me if I did lose it right now, anyone would.
