Chapter 18

William pov

Shawn and Brian. Shawn has been like a big brother to me and he is John's brother. How do I tell my best friend his brother is dead. I can't let him see them like this. Torn to bits. “alpha, beta Johnathan is on the phone he’s asking for you?” I shake my head I don’t know what to say or how to say it. I sense Kyle coming. “will what is goi…….. is that who I think it is?” I just nod knowing he is looking where I am. Craig still holding the phone “give it to me.” he says holding his hand out. Taking to his ear. “john it's a bad time and it's gonna get worse for you but we will be heading back soon so we will tell you when we are back.” then ends the call. “don’t answer it again” he orders.

“will, we have to take them all back to the pack. Their family deserves to send them off.” I just nod but don’t move. Still staring at the back of Shawn's head. Slowly getting up I head out of the room. I feel so broken right now I have lost so many that I love in such a short time. My phone makes a ding but ignore it. I head out to the outer room to help with those warriors I just can't pick up the bits that are Shawn and Brian.

Two hours later a few vans show up to collect the things from this pack. A refrigerated truck for our lost pack members. After everything is loaded up I order everything here burned down. On the way back home I call the alpha of alphas and inform him what we found at the rising tide pack. He is not happy. He tells me he will be sending his men to help with this problem.

The closer I get to the pack the more I feel john trying to link me. I finally let him. “dude I don’t know what the fuck is going on with you there but we were attacked and several of the pups are gone. I followed the trail until it disappeared. Like in thin air poof gone.” “what? When? Why didn’t you call me?” “I did and Kyle said it wasn’t a good time. Also, wade is curled up in a ball screaming in pain and I felt so many bonds break and I feel like something happened to Shawn. My wolf keeps trying to call out to him but I can't feel him.” this is what I had feared. “we will talk when I get back I promise. And get wade to the clinic I think something happened to the twins if he's in that much pain.”

I don’t want to think about the tough talk I will have to have when I get home. The thought of the twin's hurt kills me as well. I haven't felt their bonds break so it must be just that now he knows they are his mate being apart is causing him pain.

Closing my eyes taking a nap on the long ride home. As I start to drift off my phone dings. Taking it out I have a message.

“We are still not even for what you stole from me these young pups will be a nice first payment. As for your sisters well let's just say they are safe. Best wishes the rogue king”

Growling I throw my phone. “some piece of shit calling himself the rogue king took the twins and behind the attack while we have been away. Someone in the pack is working for them how else would he know I wasn’t there.” I am trying hard not to shift in the back of this van but my anger right now is hard to control all I see is red. I hear screaming but it's muffled like it's underwater. Screeching of tires. Things pressing into me. I feel caged. Pushing and threw my head around trying to get free. I hear the sound of metal ripping. The space around me is getting smaller. I feel a tug then I’m flying watching the red-tinted world fly past me. Falling toward the grand fast. Slamming against a tree feeling it give way under me as my clothes shred to pieces. I can feel I am in my wolf. My back hits the ground sliding in the dirt before I stop. Twisting getting my feet under me fast. Jumping up throwing my head around growling out in anger. Digging my back feet in the ground before I launch myself towards home.

By the time I got home, I was calmed down some. Linking every pack member “I want everyone at the packhouse now!” heading inside I go straight to my room having linked tony to have doors open not wanting to shift in front of any pups that are in the house. Nudity is normal for us wolves but we still like the pops to stay innocent for as long as we can. Happy kids today make strong loyal warriors tomorrow.

Getting to my room I shower off the dirt from running and sweat. Dressed and now I’m heading down to the main room of the house. Seeing all the heads turn and bow as I enter the room. The smell of fear in the air. Not just because I was an angry alpha right now but from the attack that just happened. “someone tells me what happened.” trying to keep my voice calm and neutral. It was not these wolves' fault we were attacked. Well there was one here I do blame and when I find out they will wish for death.

One of the elder she-wolves stands up “alpha. They came out of nowhere. They had no scent. It was nap time in the nursery. This is when we older wolves go to lunch. Leaving the teens that volunteer to watch the napping pups so we can have lunch came. We were halfway through our meal when we heard the screaming coming from the nursery. Rushing back there rogues were everywhere. Some grabbing the pups. The teens all limp over some rogues shoulder. We are fighting as hard as we could trying to save the pups waiting for the warriors to get here. If one of the pups had not woken up and started screaming we would have come and taken them all without a fight.” I can feel my anger rising. This seals any dought that we have a spy.

“We have a traitor in our pack us.”
