Chapter 80
“alpha we have stopped two hours away. The guy walked into a clearing and disappeared. Jake left his scent on trees to lead you to us.” before I can reply Jordan cuts the line. Too far for the link. Walking back into the house I corner jasper “follow your brother's trail tell them to stay put and just watch. I want you five to keep tabs on the area from the trees. don’t let anyone see you there.” he nods and takes off. Amara came up behind me. “the warriors from the winters pack will be here in a few hours.” “good in the morning gather all the warriors to go over plans and split into teams.” she nods. Already submitting to me as she will be the female gamma soon, as well as a strong warrior. My pack will only grow stronger with her. Feeling a pull I open my mind up for the sweet caress of my world sending me calming and loving feelings through the bond. Then a flash of her naked staring in a mirror enters my mind. The lust that fills me is so fast and strong I have no other choice but to rush to the nearest restroom. “you are evil little one.” I link her just to get her giggles back.
Over the last few months, Allie has started to come out of her shell. She's proven that she's a strong caring Luna. Just what the pack needed. She still has her bad days when she can't leave our room the thought of seeing others terrifies her. Meeting with other alphas is something she still has a hard time with. I fear the day she stops flinching at a raised voice or sudden movement might never come. We all have a cross to bear. I will always be her rock when she needs it and a teddy bears the rest of the time. After I ruin a perfectly good hand towel I can make it to my room for the night.
My sleep is plagued with nightmares I cant remember. Wake up sweaty and cold all at the same time. The words a choice must be made still running through my mind. A feeling of forbidding washed over me. Sharp pain in my lower adman had me curling up in a ball. As fast as it came it was gone again. Putting it out of my mind. Got up heading to take a long hot shower to wash away this feeling. The shower filled the restroom with apple-scented steam. So lost in my mind I didn’t hear or smell anyone come in. When small cold hands touch my back I jump. Growling as I spin around I see a young she-wolf naked standing in the shower with me. Covering myself with a washcloth. “what are you doing here? Who are you? Get out?” fear in her eyes her lip quivers as she scrambles to get out of the restroom. “dress and stay in the room.” I order as she makes it through the door.
Dressing, I storm into the room to find the young she-wolf dressed on her knees in the center of the room. What the actual hell. “stand, please and answer my questions.” trying to even out my voice smelling her fear in the room. “my father sent me to keep you company. He said to give you everything sir.” staring at her she can't be that old “how old are you and who is your father?” pointing to a chair in the room for her to sit down. Linking john to come to my room so he can hear this too. “I am 16 and my father is the head omega in the stables, sir,” she answers. Nothing she has said makes sense to me. Pacing the room trying to make sense of what she said so far. Waiting for John to get here. When he does I ask her to repeat what she's told me so far to john. Once he's caught up he looks to be what the ankle-biting fur balls are going on.
“What is your name?”
“96, sir.”
“96 what?” who names their child 96. my question has two answers. Looking to know her last name and that's a number, not a name. She shakes her head so I try a different question. “what is your father's name?”
“70, sir”
“why are your names numbers?”
“all the omegas are named like this sir.”
“why?” I ask. She just shrugs her shoulders. Either she doesn't know or she's not willing to tell me. “why did your father send you here?”
“to please you any way you want.”
“what about your mate?”
“omegas don’t have mates.” she looks at me confused. Looking to john for help. “what do you mean omegas don’t get mates?” john asks.
“We are here to please and make life easier for the pack.”
“who is your mother then?” thinking this will help maybe I can talk to her mother and get some answers. “I don’t know father doesn't know either. He was given me after my birth to raise.”
“what do you mean he doesn't know who your mother is?” she just shrugs her shoulders. Looking to john I link “go to the stables find 70 and question him.” he nods and leaves. Her eyes shot to the door then back to my panic in her eyes. “don’t worry your safe I promise. I need you to tell me everything about how this pack runs.”
“I just did sir. I live in the stables with my father. This is the first time out of there. He sent me here to you. Said to make you happy.”
A thought that maybe he is trying to save her from whatever is going on here floats through my mind. So I ask “if I offered to take you away from here to my pack would you go?” she nods “father said you might want to take me with you to serve you. Father trained me to cook and clean and had me read books on how to make a man happy. He wants me to be a good omega so I don’t get punished.” covering her mouth at the amount she’s said. In a rush decision, I tell her to go pack her things and come back here. She nods and leaves. I link wade and Breena about what I have found so far and send them to look around for more clues as to what the fluffy rat tail is going on in this pack.
