Chapter 42

She is fighting for control of her wolf who I'm sure wants her mate and she turns away and makes him whimper again " what's your name? " " my name is --" " NO, she will reject you if you tell her " " Alpha! "

The King interjects " Ms. I can vouch for my guard and tell you he is without a doubt an exemplary man who has saved himself for his mate, that is how much he values his matebond, he will not hurt you nor use the matebond against you I give you my word as your King, give Grey a chance, get to know him "

Once again she's fighting her wolf and this time she loses, she runs up to him and throws herself at him and he catches her effortlessly and begin making out like we’re not even here.

" Okay, I take that as our que to leave " " I concur "

The King and I leave the kitchen and make our way up to my office, I open and step in first " please, be seated my K-Alpha Tyler " his eyes seem kind of wild and gleam golden " is everything okay sire? " he sniffs the air " what is this scent ? " I tilt my head to the side " scent, sire ? " he looks at me " you don't smell it? " " sorry sire, I don't scent anything out of the ordinary, is it a bad smell? " " no, no it's very faint but very pleasant, anyway let's begin our meeting, will it just be us two? " 

" No, my Beta will be along shortly " as if on cue there comes a knock at the door " enter " Trevor walks in and bows " greetings to you my King and my Alpha " " greetings Beta " " ah sorry, I am Beta Trevor, Trevor Woods " " oh siblings, not something you see everyday but okay, I suppose no one would watch your back better than you brother right? " I laugh " I'm sure your mate would, mine is quite feisty " we all laugh then settle down.

" Now gentlemen, I don't like going into situations blindly, fill me in on all that has occurred and then I'd like to be escorted to the site where they were first discovered and the part of the border that they escaped from "

" Well, from what we were told, our warrior Red was doing training with the trainees in the woods when their presence were felt, the warrior then dispatched the trainees to seek assist in seeking them out, and once the location was found they all hid in one of our tree top hideouts which is also one of Red's idea to have around the territory, quite clever that one, anyway once the group got close enough to where they were hidden, the jumped down and ambushed them and they took off running and were pursued by all of them plus the border patrols and myself joined in later on into the chase, they were all just about to jump out of the border when one of our warriors grabbed onto one of their legs and severed it but managed to hurt himself, it would seem that the creatures' blood is acidic or poisonous or perhaps both and burned him pretty badly, in his wolf form, by the time we had finished looking after him they had escaped and even managed to take the severed leg with them, we do apologize Alpha Tyler our lapse in judgement caused us to lose any hope of finding out what those things were "

" No need to apologize, instinctively our packs safety comes first so it's more than understandable that you'd want to tend to your wounded, it is disappointing that even the leg was taken as studying that would have certainly been helpful, are you sure they are not vampires? "

" Yes, my King Red said they were not anything seen before and Vampires blood do not have that kind of effect, not even the Hybrids so it has to be something else, something new "

" I see, well that's quite a vivid picture you've painted for me there Alpha Teejan, shall we go? I'd like to visit the sites now please and see if there is any clue we may stumble upon while there "

" Please my King, allow me " Trevor rises to his feet and bows " very well Beta Trevor, let's be on our way, but you will join us too won't you Alpha Teejan ? "

" Of course Alpha Tyler, just allow me to quickly check in with my mate and have a word with my daughter " 

" Certainly, see you in a bit, after you Beta "

After they leave I mindlink my mate and daughter to come to my office straight away, I need to talk to Ember before she makes a fool of herself and ger hurt or worse killed because we have no idea how the King reacts to unpleasant situations and I will not pretend not to know how she-wolves can be, even if she is my daughter.
