Maybe Jade is right, even though I don’t want to yet. Once I get confirmation that he is at least one of the ones behind all these attacks, including the one that took both Rania and Yasmine, I will be taking his position and then the kingdom will not know what hit it.
I look at the clock on the desk and sigh. However, just as I get to my feet, there is a slight knock on the door. I look up and see Beta Jack. I nod and he enters carrying a pile of folders. He goes to hand them to me, but I shake my head and say,
“Place them on the desk. I will look at them later. For now, you will need to follow me down to the training field. We will be spending the rest of the day there.”
He nods, walks over to the desk, and places the folders down. He then turns back around and falls into step next to me as I then head downstairs and out of the packhouse. Just as I get to the training field, Zaire and Farris join me. I turn to Zaire,
“Any trouble?”
“Nope, as
Once morning hits I go down to the training field and oversee Jefferson with the start of the training program, Raphael was right he was the best choice other than having Raphael or Zaire or even myself do it, and at the moment the three of us just don’t have time. I also go over the rest of the files on the pack while keeping an eye on Jack and Jaxon. I get everything that I need to for now done within the 24 hours that I told Jack I would be here. Jack actually surprises me by having a big feast prepared for the entire pack. They decked out the backyard along with the main dining hall. Just as we sit down at the main table within the dining hall for dinner, he stands and says, “Attention… Everyone…” He waits for the gathering of pack members to quieten before he then continues, “First of all, welcome to the new look of our pack and in saying that I would like to take this opportunity to say 'Thank You!' To Alpha Zachariah for finally freeing us from
The last warrior drops to the ground just as Jefferson and my warriors get to the small clearing. Morpheus shifts, and I face them.“We have 13 young pups here, both male and female. They need to be taken back to the packhouse, treated by the healer, and then fed.”“Yes, Alpha.”I turn around and walk into the second tent first and then over to the female pup lying on the bed. As I reach for her wrists, she flinches and struggles, only this causes her to whimper, no doubt in pain. I ignore her reaction and undo all her bindings; I slide my arms underneath her and pick her up and pull her in close. I then carry her out of the tent and look around to make sure the others were being taken care of.I then move around the back of the first tent I entered and over to the bushes, I was actually expecting the two young male pups to be a long way from here but as soon as I got close the older of the two stood up in front of me.I nod
I smirk and get to my feet. I turn and head out of the office. Zaire falls back into step beside me as Ryan, Calvin and Edgar walk behind us. Zaire leans in close and whispers,“Did you see Edgar’s reaction to the mention of the slave camps?”“Yes, I did. Even though he tried to cover it, we will need to keep an eye on him. He may be the one behind them… Do you have the coordinates of the slave camp Raphael is in?”“Yes, it will take about an hour from here in the SUVs.”“And the one Isaac raided?”“Is another 2 and a half hours on by SUV from the first camp...”I nod and continue our way out of the packhouse and back to the SUV. Once I am standing next to the SUV, Zaire opens the back door and I climb in, I am followed close behind by Ryan. I hear another car pull up behind ours just as Zaire closes the door and we get on our way. I quickly link with Raphael,“Raph, we are on our way to you. Is everyone out?” “Yes, it is only me, Isaac, and our warriors. All the members within the c
“What’s her name?”“Ruby. She was only 13…”“What was she doing going to town on her own at that age?”“She didn’t. She always went with two warriors, as it is not far and we had never had any problems with rogues before. She would go to town to collect supplies and the information that was sent out via paper for the library.”I have a feeling that the female Ruby that I pulled from that rogue and pack camp tent is his cousin, but there is no way that they were within that small camp for two years, even with them moving the camp. Ruby was in no condition to travel, but then that could have been the reason why Morpheus came across them.I will need to talk to Ambrose and see if he is willing to tell me how long they were within the camp and where they came from, to begin with. I don’t tell him that I think I know where she is yet. I just say,“I don’t know all the names of the ones we rescued, so it may take a little time, but she could be in amongst them.”His eyes light up at the pro
With FireMoon sorted and still under the guidance of a great Alpha, I head toward the tree line. Once I am just inside, I strip and shift, picking up my clothes in my mouth before handing over control to Morpheus so he can run back to the HellFire territory.On returning to the HellFire packhouse, I head straight to the hospital and go check on Ambrose, Arthur and Ruby. I meet up with the healer first,“Alfred, how are they doing?”“The young males are fine and very protective of the female. She, however, developed an infection from whatever they raped her with other than themselves. I have put her on a high dose of antibiotics mixed with a very small dose of vampire blood. If her body continues to fight the infection, she should be better within the next few days.”“Good.”I turn away from him and head down the hall, knocking on the door right at the end. I stand and wait until the door is opened just a little and I see Ambrose peek out. As soon as he sees me he opens the door more a
When I return to the Royal Blood Moon territory, I feel a wave of relief wash over me as I enter my home territory. Jade is waiting on the steps of the packhouse as Farris pulls up out the front. I get out and she makes her way over to me until Farris gets out of the driver's seat and faces her.I watch as her eyes go wide and she then screams before running and jumping into his arms. I close the door and just lean back on the side of the SUV. I chuckle as I watch Farris wrap his arms around her and then spin her around, laughing along with her.I then don’t miss the low growl that comes from the back of the SUV as Zaire makes his way around from the other side. I hold out my arm as he goes to walk past me. He turns his head and growls at me. I just smile and return my attention back to Farris and Jade. I had forgotten how close he and Jade were before he went rogue.As I didn’t react to his growl, he calms a little and turns his attention to his mat
Unfortunately, Morpheus’s warning came a little too late, and I miss the large downed tree branch and go flying through the air and landed with a hard thud at the base of the next tree. I whimper a little as I try to get to my feet and pain shoots through me. I lie back down and take a couple of deep breaths before trying again.I manage to get to my paws this time, but as soon as I go to put some weight on my front right paw, I nearly collapse again as an immense sharp pain shoots up from my wrist. I swear at myself and shift. Once I am back in human form, I sit on the ground and look down at my right wrist and swear once more. I grab a small thick stick from off the ground and place it in between my teeth.I bite down hard as I grab my hand and quickly pull. I growl biting down hard on the stick until I hear the resounding echo of a very loud snap and crack. I slowly move my fingers and make sure it feels as it should I then remove the stick from my teeth and p
I then make it seem that I am already partially drunk. I slightly slur my words and say just a little louder than I should have. "Dddaamn Bbitch... Wwhat does she know..." I purposely stumbled into the counter and lift my hand to the bartender, who was a werewolf, so he could tell I hadn't even had a drink yet. "Hey! Bar keeep a ttriple on the rooocks..." "Sshe bbelieves I ccan't get aanother... I ccan have my cchoice of..." "Hey, man! You should be happy you have one..." "Rreally? Why? She iis nothing bbut ttrroouble..." He faces me with his hand on his drink. I can tell that he hasn't had much, maybe just a sip or two. I have a feeling he is not in here to drink. "Is she someone special?" "I thought she ccoulld be tthe oone... You kknow... Bbut sshe's jjust ssoo... ccant get eeven aa mmooment to mmyyself..." "You should be thankful. Someone like that doesn't come along every day and anyone can snatch h
