Chapter 83
My warriors close in on the hill pack taking them in custody. Sam and Connor came to the front Sam gave me a look of help. Linking Alice-Ann to take Sam and Connor to the office. So I can talk to her. The alpha screaming about how this is his pack and I will be sorry. Dismissing him my warriors take them to the cells. Using silver locks to keep the cells closed. Split fifty warriors from the group to stay and oversee the breakdown of the pack and its assets. Seeing Jared stone in the back I call him to join me in the office. When you need someone questioned but want to keep your hands clean you call Jared. Jared served ten years in the army having three deployments overseas. His last mission left him dead. Thanks to his wolf healing he lived but the damage was done and he no longer shares the same set of feelings he once did. I don’t question his methods I just know he gets answers.
Making it to the office I can hear Sam yelling at Connor that I can help. Telling him to just tell me everything. Opening the door and walking in. I see Connor in a chair with his head in his hands. Sam is on her knees her hands on his things trying to get him to listen to her. “she's right you know just talk to me. I promise to be fair. Lifting his head and sighing. “alpha I swear whatever the alpha did I had no part in it. I am only beta in name since my brother Carl died. Hell, I am not even a male I’m a fucking she-wolf. I hate these clothes with this hair. The drink I have to take in the morning to look male.” several things shocked me as tears now fill her eyes. “what's your name? Your real name?” “Connie alpha my real name is Connie white. I am one of a set of triplets my sister Casey is the Luna as you know. My brother was supposed to be the beta. An accident when we were younger killed him. Casey was to be the Luna. a white has to keep the beta title in the pack. I don’t know why I just know they do.”
I can see in her that she's tired of being in this pack. This explains every interaction we have had. Looking to the same I ask “ why didn’t you come to me Sam?” tears streaming down her face as she looks up at me “the alpha wouldn't let Connie mark me unless I joined the pack once in the pack he ordered me to keep my mouth shut on anything I might see or hear. I couldn’t talk if I wanted to. That was until you took him into custody and I could reject him as my alpha.” her eyes pleading with me maybe this can work in my favor. : Connie do you have access to the accounts. The alphas computer and such?” a sad smile crosses her face “yes alpha. Alpha Silas is horrible at technology so I do all the paperwork. What do you need?” “I want everything. You and Sam can join the black rose. But I want you to put together a transfer of power file. When the alpha of alphas beta arrives hand him the file to deal with. I want a list of all omega wolves and any wolves that have been abused. Help the beta deal with this mess here in the office.” I order both nods.
A sharp stabbing pain comes and goes in my lower abdomen. Chalking up to stress I ignore it. Leaving the office Sam and Connie work at the computer Robert McDonally standing guard along with a few other warriors. Leaving Jared in charge of the hill pack and lands I take off with my warriors to follow the trail to find these rogues. You would think a pack of 100 plus wolves would make a sound while running through the woods., but we are as silent as the wind. The ground absorbs our footsteps as we run, our heavy breathing is carried away by the wind. Hiding up from whatever we are running towards. The strong the scent of my wolves get the closer I know we are getting. Slowing to a slow crawl as we reach the tree line.. my warriors have spread to circle the clearing. All I see is a field with the scent of wildflowers in the air.
Linking a few of my men to cause a ruckus to draw out the wolves max seen disappear here. A set of brothers Todd and chad who tend to take sparing a little too far start yipping in the air. Letting them take off to do their thing we wait. What I had expected was fighting notices or booms of things breaking and falling. What I didn’t expect was the sounds of cries of a young-sounding female. “is anyone there? Help my ankle I think I broke it.” comes the sweet child-like voice. Soon several wolves are appearing in the clearing. Timber is a small witch who was called in to help with the cloaking spell. She just needed a break in the magic. Them coming out of the cloak gave her the opening she needed to work on breaking the spell.
The three wolves that came from the field soon are taken down. The feeling of a snapping shoves past me as a run-down cabin appears in front of me. The porch leaning to the side as the supports rot and crumble from the weight. Windows covered in dust so thick you can't see in. The door is hanging on by one hinge. The stench of rotting flesh blankets the air so fast telling me they have been here a while. The scent is so strong even I have a hard time not gagging. When I catch a brief hint of Hannah and Kim. Along with several hints of my pack telling me the pups are here or were here. Roaring our I charge into the cabin. Searching the first floor I start to smell whispers of Allie. Following my nose, I come to a room. The door was ripped off the hinges thrown across the hall. A trail of blood drops trails out of the room. The scent was heavy of Hannah. Entering the room my heart drops. I know this room this is the room Allie had been brutalized so badly. My heart clenched at the sight of the blood-stained mattress pad on the metal frame bolted to the floor. The hook for the chained collar is high above the head of the bed, the dresser knocked over the contents of the drawers spilling on the floor. Taking a big sniff I smell Hannah and Kim. Spinning out of this nightmare room I keep searching. Coming to the last room I hear my name being said. Looking around I see none. “alpha on the screen.” the voice fills the room. Coming around the desk I see a shadow figure on the screen the only hint of color is the glowing red eyes. My warriors link me telling me they have everyone but I know someone made it out of here as no one has mentioned Kim or Hannah.
Pain shoots through me again only stronger. I can feel the panic rising in Allie. Taking, my breath away. “you can follow Brent's trial and find me. But before you do I will send the order to my men who have your pack surro8unded. All your warriors went leaving that sweet young Luna all alone.” he chuckles at my growls but continues “and not only will they bring my your Luna but the pup she is now about to have, thanks to my friend slipping her a potion to induce labor. What will it be me or your Luna?” the screen changed to a shot of Brent dragging Hannah behind him naked and bruised. Hannah had been an okay fighter so to see her as this hits you hard in the gut. Looking at the desk there is a note.
“dear worthless alpha,
I know you are looking for your friends Hannah who is mine and you will never have and Kim who sadly you won't find as she is now with her new master. The pups have been sold off and I will have my sister back soon. Catch me if you can.
Brent”
The pains in my lower abdomen increased taking my breath away. My phone rings flashing Dr. Williams's name on the screen. “alpha the Luna needs you now she's losing blood the pup is in distress the only thing that will calm her safely is you.” the line cutting off with screams of my mate on the other end. A choice that I have to make. fuck fuck it's here. Do I go after Brent and the rogue king taking that threat away from my pack or do I run home as fast as I can to save my mate and pup? As the alpha, I have to think of the pack first but as a mate, I need to think of my mate and pup first what do I do? Slamming my fist down on the desk. I feel a burn on my thigh, reaching in my pocket I pull out that small black box. Looking at it glow from within a line around the whole thing showing me where the lid is. Staring at it I know I have to make a choice but what do I choose. Looking at it once more I know what I have to do.
I open the box.
