Chapter 81
Johnathan pov
Leaving the room I head to the stables. Trying not to catch anyone s attention as I make my way. The air is heavy with fog that will help hide my movements. Walking into the stable I was not prepared for what was in there. Beds and trunks cover every square inch of the stable. Not one horse or the scent of a horse was in here. Telling me it's been a long time since a horse was kept here. Several pairs of eyes snap to me fear coming off them all. Holding my hands up to show I mean no harm “I’m looking for the man called 70” a man about my father's age stands up looking terrified. “come with me please.” he nods and I head to the door knowing he will follow.
Leaving the stable and heading to one of the trails heading to the parking lot. Wanting to get far enough away that no one can hear us talking. A change in the wind tells me he is panicking. “there is nothing to fear I promise you no harm.” I say over my shoulder. He's yet to say a word but the scent of panic on the wind lessens. Sniffing the air I find we are alone. “your daughter is called 96?” he nods “why?”
“it's how it's always been done beta.”
“Okay, let's try a different question. Who is 96’s mother?”
“I don’t know beta. She was brought to me at one hour old. I was told she is mine and to raise her. The only thing they did tell me was her name is 96.”
“how do you not know who the mother is? Where is your mate?” a look of confusion crosses his face.
“I am an omega sir. I don’t have a mate.” the same answer we got from the girl what is up with this pack.
“so there are 96 of you omegas then?” he shakes his head. “there are only 40 of us right now. The alpha decides your number. The alpha decides the name we get. I tried once to figure out the numbers but I have no clue as to what it is.” over the next twenty minutes he tells me how he has a daughter and does not know who the mother is. Turns out unmated she-wolves use the men here to satisfy them. I learned they don’t take mates here but for the few that would be seen outside the pack. They use the omegas to produce offspring when it's time to have an heir. When a pup is convinced of unexpected or the wrong sex they are sent here to the male or she-wolf who is the other parent. I was starting to get a vague idea of what was happening here and I don’t like it. I soon got a link from will telling me he's bringing the girl to the pack and asked me to find out if any of the omegas want to leave with her. Turning to 70 “96 will be coming back to our pack. If any of the rest of you want to join her pack your things now.” his eyes widened he took me in nodded and took off to the stables. Linking will I tell him everything I was told.
“they are the mates. what the hell is going on here?” it was a question neither had an answer for. I head back to the stables to see how many wolves we have here. We need to do this fast. Coming around the stable I see wade Breena and Amara. Coming up to them I raise my brow. “will wants Amara to escort the wolves back to the pack. Breena is going so she can assess their health. Jackson is heading to town to rent the largest rig he can. If need be Henry will drive as well.” wade fills me in peeking inside I see every wolf gathering their things. “when the warriors get here you guys slip out as they come in use the last of the masking spray to cover your trail. When you get to the pack amber and Allie will have rooms and things ready.” we all nod things here just got tricky.
Heading back to the packhouse linking will about having the warriors ready to head out as soon as they get here. He agrees and tells me he is heading to the alpha's office to keep him busy. 96 is going to find all the omegas that are in the house. as I get close to the house I see Henry and terry caring the bags toward the stables. Amara already informed the winters warriors to do as will states and be ready to leave the second they get here. My phone gives off a whistle telling me I received a text. Looking at it it's a location notification from Jordan. With a nothing to report text. Once daylight hit and they could take a picture and use their phone without being a beacon they sent pictures of the whole area. Max, the youngest is up a tree watching where the rogues disappeared while the other four wolves scout the area.
While will keeps an eye on the alpha I will head to the training fields and have a look at their warriors. Coming to the training grounds I had expected to see warriors training what I found was an overgrown empty field. I was under the impression this pack has warriors. I link will let him know what is up maybe being in the office he can spy something to answer some of the growing lists of questions. I hear a noise off to my left. Dropping down into the tall grass I slowly make my way to where I hear voices. Their words flew away in the hands of the wind never making it to my ears. Willing the wind to change direction to both hide me and bring me the scents of whoever is in the woods.
