I hope you liked this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
As we talked about the event and ate donuts, we were ready to get started on prepping for it. When we finished the meeting, I saved a couple donuts and went with Luke, Alpha Blaze and King Mateo. On the way there I asked Nicona, “You ready to go, lady?” She smiled, “I’m so ready. You know me.” I laughed, “I do know you. Just let me know what they tell you as soon as you can. Okay?” She wags her tail, “You know I will. I’m not about to let you waste energy trying to get the information that I can get easily.” I smiled as we stepped into the dungeons and approach the rogues. I immediately hear Nicona, “These wolves are spilling their guts almost faster than I can keep up. They hate their humans.” I shook my head, “So, you all have succeeded in doing something that most shifters can’t. Your wolves hate your guts.” I hold out the donuts, “First one to spill who hired you to come after us gets these donuts. If you don’t, you die hungry.” I could see the men salivating at the sight of the t
Alpha Blaze led King Mateo, Prince Aidinth, Luke and me to his conference room and we talked as we waited for Cole Brown. When a servant guided him into the room, I involuntarily scowled at him. I asked Nicona, “Well?” She chuckled, “Damn, lady, give a girl a minute.” I chuckled in my head, “Fine. Tell me when you find out anything.” I went back to the conversation at the table and Alpha Blaze asked Cole Brown, “Do you want to tell me why you betrayed our pack?” Cole gulped, “What are you talking about, Alpha?” Nicona laughed, “This fool thinks he’s entitled to be alpha. I looked back in his memories and an Omega tried to tell him that she was the alpha’s daughter. He actually fell for it! He thinks this alpha is old enough to have a twenty-year-old daughter!” I laughed out loud and asked Alpha Blaze, “Alpha Blaze, how old are you?” He looked at me in utter confusion and I gave him a look that said, “Just play along.” Alpha Blaze smiled, “I’m twenty-three.” I laughed, “So there is abs
When we arrived at the bar, Zendaya, Chloe and I chose a table that was close to the booth that Alfred Collins would be sitting in and ordered our virgin drinks. I smiled, “As the night goes on, I will act more and more drunk. Zendaya, you are the one who needs to watch your reputation, so you can just play the designated driver.” Chloe chuckled, “I want to be drunk too!” I laughed, “We can be drunk together!” This made Zendaya laugh, “This is going to be so much fun.” That’s when my phone beeped with an incoming text from Luke, “As long as you’re pretending, we’re okay with it.” I smiled, “You’re such a sweetheart.” We were sitting at our table, working on our second round of virgin drinks when Alfred Collins sat at his usual table. He was what I would call normal for a human. He was around six feet tall, medium build, short black hair with a well-trimmed beard and mustache. He was wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and a pair of black cowboy boots. I texted Luke, “He just sat down
I looked behind us and saw Alfred running toward us with his friends yelling, “You aren’t going anywhere without giving us something.” Zendaya unlocked the SUV and told the ladies to get in. I stood there, waiting for them, “What are you wanting us to give you? Our numbers? There is one question that you guys didn’t ask.” Louis, the dumbass, asked, “What?” I smiled, “If we’re married or committed.” Then I pointed behind them and the guys turned around saw Luke, Alpha Blaze, and Prince Aidinth standing there with their arms crossed. I smiled, “Let me introduce you to our husbands. Luke, Blaze and Aidinth, please say hello to these guys. I’ve already put Louis on the ground. It almost looks like he’s ready for a repeat performance.” Luke smiled as he walked up to me and put his arm around my waist, “I think he might be rethinking that idea soon.” All four guys looked around and started to walk away, but Louis stopped and tried to grab me around my waist and carry me away with him. I turn
We walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I poured a cup of coffee for each of us and sat with him at the kitchen table while we waited for everyone else. I asked Luke, “Is that bug still recording now?” He nodded, “Yes, it is. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” I smiled and nodded, “We need to listen to the recordings after we left. They might have already started planning.” Luke agreed, “You read my mind.” He went and got the laptop, where the recordings were stored. He fast forwarded the recordings to the time after we left. He and I sat, dumbfounded, at what we were hearing: Alfred: I know there is a pack around here, somewhere. Louis: That bitch sure felt like one. Evan: Their men definitely were shifters. John: I don’t think we are dealing with only wolves. There are more. Alfred: We need to come up with a plan to get them and to let the guild know they are here. We heard a gasp and saw Chloe and Zendaya walk into the kitchen, followed by Blaze, Aidinth and Mateo. They
We sat there, listening more, to the live feed and a new voice sounded like it ran to the table and panting: Voice: Mister Collins. We have a problem. Alfred: What the fuck do you want, pup? Voice: We sent a bunch of rogues to look for the pack, but they never came back. Alfred: What are you talking about? How many rogues were sent this last time? Voice: We sent one hundred fifty rogues this last time. Ten were former pack members. Alfred: Where is this pack? Voice: I can take you there tonight. Alfred: Meet me out front at one a.m. Voice: Yes, sir. We all looked at each other and I stood up, I started to say something, but I didn’t want to disturb anyone. I walked out of the room and stepped out onto the front porch, looking around and trying to catch my breath. I heard the door open and I asked, “Why do I feel like tonight is not going to end well?” Chloe sat down on the porch swing and patted the spot next to her to invite me to sit with her. I asked her, “How do we stop
When we got back to the pack house, I stepped out of the SUV and yelled, “Hey Blaise! I have a question for you!” Blaise landed at the tree line next to the house and put on a pair of shorts that was in a hollowed-out tree stump. He walked up to us, and asked, “What can I do for you, Princess?” I asked, “Have you gotten any updates on the Alaric substitute?” He nodded, “I have. One of the men, I believe it’s Alfred, has a family member caring for him. They are looking for him, because he didn’t come home last night.” I laughed, “He’s not going to come home at all.” Blaise gave me his best side-eye, “What did you do?” I laughed, “He and his friends are in the dungeons here. I’m hoping to keep them there at least until after the event.” Blaise nodded, “That shouldn’t be a problem, but you should know that the family knows where he was going and they are hunters also.” I cringed, “Shit. Well, I guess we need to see what’s going on then. Would you want to come in and tell the guys the late
I heard a familiar voice coming from below, “Sylvie, do you mind if I join you?” I look down and see my mom! I smiled, “Come on up!” She climbed up and hugged each of us, “I know it hasn’t been that long since I’ve seen you, but I missed you!” I laugh, “You just don’t have anyone to mediate between the young kids anymore.” Mom laughed, “I’m realizing just how much you kept us all calm since you’ve been gone.” I chuckled, “That’s what you get for taking me for granted.” Mom laughed, knowing I was joking. I asked, “Ready to fight some rogues?” Mom smiled as she nodded, “Keep an eye on our warriors too. I can heal them as they fight.” I smiled, “That sounds great.” Suddenly, the three of us were all business as we watched our warriors charge forward. The rogues started running toward our warriors and I was pointing out to my mom when it looked like there were a large number of injuries. Mom would heal them, then return to using her magic to fight. I was sending calming waves to the rogue
