Chapter 5

After two hours, Darla came to get us from the room we were staying in. Jenson and Paul played on their phones while we waited. I stared out of the window and watched everyone turn up to attend the party.

Darla took us to where the party was being held. As soon as I stepped inside, I made my way over to a corner to stay while everyone started to turn up.

Once everyone turned up, the music began and blared, and the party was in full swing. I stood with a group of alphas near the stage. They talked about their packs and tried to one-up each other on everything. Telling me what their packs had to offer me. I couldn’t help rolling my eyes to a few.

I looked around, ignoring everyone, and saw Alpha Karl mingling with others. He seemed to be in his oils talking about his son or what was happening. I scanned around, looking for his luna and son, but neither seemed to be around.

Savage grunted, which made me look back at him. He rolled his eyes at me. I sighed and looked back at everyone, but didn’t want to be there either. Savage hated this party. He moved back further into my head when we entered the party, and that’s where he has been.

“Alpha Samson,” Alpha Lawrence said, stepping closer to my group. “Alpha Karl just told me that you asked for a room. Are you here to help Alpha Karl train his pack?” I still while all the alphas looked at me with wide eyes.

Savage growled while I frowned. “Stupid alpha.”

Alpha Karl had a big mouth. But why lie and tell him I was helping him train his men? I never agreed to such a thing.

Alpha Lawrance stared at me, waiting for my response. Clearing my throat, I looked at Jenson, who was staring at me. “I only wanted a room to let my driver, beta, and I rest after travelling. They can even have a drink, too. But I said no such thing about helping him train his pack. I will be leaving first thing.”

All alphas looked around, some looking confused, while Alpha Lawrence frowned. “You should help him,” he grunted. “He needs the help more than the others. He has had more attacks the last few months.”

I kept my eyes on him but felt Savage move closer, but not to show himself. “Stupid alphas,” he grumbled. “They all want us to help them. Why don’t they just learn how to fight themselves?”

I said nothing. Alpha Karl has had rogues attacking him, but he never mentioned that. “He’s had attacks,” I asked, making Lawrence tense and look at me. “He never mentioned anything when we saw him earlier.”

Alpha Lawrence looked around and then back at me. “Oh,” he said. “He told me earlier.” I watched his head move to the side and move away. “Sorry, I must go,” he called out.

Weird.

I looked at the other alphas, who seemed just as confused as me. “I take it you all didn’t know about the rogues,” I asked, making them shake their heads.

“He only talked to me about the ceremony,” Alpha Zander muttered. “Nothing about rogues.” “Same here,” the others muttered.

My eyes looked over to Alpha Karl, who Alpha Lawrence pulled away. I watched them for a moment until they stepped out the door. What the hell was that all about?

A mind link opened up from Jenson. “Do you want me to follow them?” he asked, making me look at him. He was standing with some of the betas. I gave him a nod and closed the link.

“So, are you—” Alpha Carter said, but I looked at him and held my hand up. “Sorry, I have to contact my gamma,” I muttered, walking away. “I need to check in with him.”

The alphas nodded and stepped aside for me to leave. I needed to get out of the room. I was starting to get claustrophobic from being stuck with them.

I walked toward the door, only to bump into Jenson coming back in with a frown. “I lost them,” he muttered, motioning to the side. I glanced over and read the sign on the door—alpha’s office. I sighed and looked back at him. “Don’t worry.”
