Chapter 57
“put me down you big brute!” Allie demands. ‘nope only good girls get to walk.” smacking her ass again making her squeal. Making it to the door I put her down kissing the top of her head. I have to thank the goddess everyday for bringing me, Allie. Walking in I see Mrs. Walker Kim's mother. Taking a deep breath I know I need to ask her some questions but not here not now. “Annie can you come to see me after your shift?” bowing her head “yes alpha.” I can see the worry in her eyes already. I know she knows I will be asking about Kim and her trip to the poisoned mist pack. We are then taken to a room to wait for the doctor. Allie came earlier this morning to have the blood drawn for the test. The scent of worry and fear starts to fill the room like a bad egg. Taking her hand in mine kissing her palm trying to calm her down. Starting to feel the walls close in on me I am about to stand up and pace to try and get rid of this energy when there is a knock on the door.
“alpha, Luna” she bows “doctor” we both whisper out but when she looks up with joy in her eyes and a smile it was like water washing over me. Grabbing the bad feelings and dragging them down my body. “well I have some good news the levels of silver and wolfsvaine have gone down. The coven sent these two potions over. You mix one pill in hot water or tea let it dissolve then drink they are safe to take at the same time. So maybe for breakfast. The pink one will prevent pregnancies for 24 hours nothing harmful to you or your body just stops you from releasing eggs. The green one will help thin the poisons so they slip out of your system faster it also has a healing additive to help your wolf healing kick in.” joy and happiness flood the bond between us from both sides. Waiting to have a pup is not the normal way alphas do things but I won't risk either one of them. So if we have to wait we will. “how long before we can stop taking the pink one?” Allie asks she has been spending time in the nursery helping with the little ones. She has fallen in love with all the pups and I know she wants one of her own. She's been so terrified that we wouldn't be able to have them. The light in her eyes now I never want to see go out. “looking at the number I would say six months and your body should be where it should and we can look at taking you off them.” Allie reaches her hand out for the bottles. Wrapping her little fingers around them pulling them to her chest. She needed this so much.
Making our way back to the house to put her pills away and go back to our day-to-day tasks. Her humming has me smiling down at her as we walk. I should have known happiness only last so long when I get a link from the border. “rogues” is whispered out just before a bond breaks in my chest. “get inside and down in the bunker” I link everyone. My warriors will ignore this due to it being for the wolves that don’t fight. Pushing on Allie's back making her move faster towards the house she tells me to be careful as she heads to help with the pups.
Racing to the border I find one of my wolves hung from a tree. His skin flayed open hanging at his waist like he just took a shirt off. This is not the wolf that just linked me or whose bond just broke. I can't make out who this is he has no scent and his face is missing the skin. We can't find any rogues but we found frank the wolf who sent out the alarm. His throat was ripped out. His blood pooling around his head turning the brown dirt red. “take them back to be examined find out who this wolf is now!” I bellow out my warrior's heads snapping down at my order. It took a while to get the wolf down of the tree he was bolted to it with several spears and ropes. All drenched in wolfsbane. Wolfsbane is the oil from the steam of the wolfsvaine flower. Wolfsbane is stronger and deadlier than a wolf. By the time it's down our hands are raw from the ropes. Our healing won't start until we can wash it off our hands. One last look around and I notice an envelope on the tree it was on the tree behind his back. It's covered in blood from the wolf pressed against it. Carefully removing it so I can take it back to my office.
The whole way back I am trying to figure out how I will open this without ripping it. Turning it over I notice the back or well the front is clean so the blood didn’t soak all the way through. Maybe someone can figure out how long it was up there. Getting a link from one of the wolves still out there looking for clues as to who did this and why. “alpha I think I found the rogue but she died. Throat sliced but it does not look like a claw mark.” what the actual fuck is going on things are not adding up. “bring her in as well have the doctor look at her after she is done with our pack mates.” I know I should wait but I was done so I slowly ripped the clean side of the envelope and took the letter out. The letter was covered in plastic so it wouldn't be ruined. This is why the front is clean.
Dear alpha,
Once upon a time, I had a wolf I wanted to make mine. Your pack killed her in cold blood. The wolf responsible for me losing such a treasure is now mine. It was selfish of you to keep this little wolf on your lands away from me for so long. I must thank you for sending her so far from home. She will make a great addition to my toy room.
Best wishes
The rogue king
Roaring out as I crumple the paper in my hand. John is trying to get me to let go so he can read it. Once having it his face falls “Kim” he whispers I nod coming to the same thought. Dropping to my knees in pain. I knew I should have sent someone with her this is all my fault.
