Chapter 42
The plan
I can hear faint voices, I jump up, shit what happened where am I?
Ajax comes rushing to my side. “Baby it’s OK, you’re safe. We’re here.” He coos rubbing my back soothingly, I look down at myself, I still have the same playsuit on so I can’t have been out for long. Aries comes racing through the door, he looks so angry his head might burst.
“How the fuck did noone see who or where it came from?” He growls out slamming his fist into the table.
“Ass hat, calm down she’s awake.” Ajax says quietly to his brother.
Aries looks up towards us both sitting on the bed, his eyes widen and he rushes to me. My loving mate looks me over, feeling my head with the back of his hand running his hands through my hair.
“Little Luna are you OK?” He asks.
“I’m fine Aries, I’m not sure what happened but I’d like to get out of these coffee stained clothes and find the person that dropped me that note.” I reply with a small smile.
Ajax speeds to the closet and returns with all clean clothing for me, my favourite cream lounge set, they’re so comfy I could curl back up and sleep.
As the words on the note come back to me I feel my chest start to heave, I’m panicking and I know I am but I can’t think of how to calm down. Ajax pulls off his tee and sits behind me pulling me to his chest he tells me to listen carefully to his heart beat while Aries rubs up and down my arms soothing me between them, the mate bond sending little sparks around my body. I breathe in their mouth watering scents, I start to calm and feel safe with my Alpha’s.
Joseph and Jas the twins parents and former Alpha and Luna meet us in my office a little while later followed by Bear, but no Rach, that’s OK I already know what she will be up to and I’d rather let her have this important time with her mate it’s nothing she can’t be briefed on.
“So, tell me exactly what happened, right from the top Luna.” Bear says sitting in front of my desk with a pad, if we go over this again I may just record it and keep playing it to him, Bear said we will keep going over the events because the more I push my brain to think about it the more memories it will drag up, he says one little detail could make a huge difference and with a threat within the packhouse we need to make sure we know everything we possibly can.
I have told the events of this morning over and over for two hours now and the story hasn’t changed, “I cooked brekfast, I walked to the table, I got a piece of paper dropped on my tray, I was daydreaming not paying attention to my surroundings, I sat to eat, read the note, freaked the fuck out, woke up in bed now were here.” I say to Bear fed up of running over the same story although I understand why.
Ajax holds back a laugh at my stupid run of accounts I’m just bullet pointing at this point but there really is nothing at all else to it. Aries shoots him a glare and I can feel his agitation through the mate bond.
“OK, Alphas I’m going to have some warriors empty the pack house of anyone that isn’t a ranked member, those that live here will have to be placed in the empty pack accommodations until further notice, not even the workers will stay here. One person will be assigned to your floor, we don’t want any unnecessary threats lurking around. The code to your door will change, only yourselves and Titan will know it, Titan will answer the double doors to anything being brought up to you no one will enter your wing, same goes for you Alpha, Luna. Raff will be your assigned warrior.” Bear tells us starting to put his plan into place.
He tells me that after the incident the kitchen was locked down, no one came or left and everyone was questioned for any kind of detail but they had come up empty.
“Luna” Bear starts as he turns once again to face me. “You will be guarded day and night even with the Alpha’s present. You will not for the time being leave this floor. You have everything you need here: your room, a kitchen, the gym for leisure and your office....”
“You have got to be fuking kidding me, what am I fuking rapunzel? I don’t think so! I can protect myself and Titan and the Alpha’s? How big do you think Argon is.” I shout out. What is this I am grounded and have babysitters? Bullsh*t.
“I’m sorry Luna but the Alpha’s agree, they are also having guards assigned. This is for your protection, you are a strong Luna Cierra but you can’t fight these panic attacks. What if that weakens you to the enemy? We can’t afford one slip up until this bastard is caught now again, tell me this morning’s events... in full detail.” Bear orders
Ass hat thinks he can order me now, I know i’m acting like a petulant child but I hate this! Why don’t I just fling myself at Argon get his location and the council can arrest him? Seems like a good plan to me.
I stormed out of my office in a strop. I can hear Aries follow me and I can feel his anger with my reaction to the plan through the bond, oh but the Alpha’s are OK with the plan. I wonder when they came up with this plan without me!
Why do these Alpha’s insist on making plans behind my back and think I will just follow everything they say? Why can’t things be discussed between all of us, and then getting the Beta to tell me this plan is the biggest cop out I ever did come across! They can’t even do their own dirty work. Well now they know I’m pissed, Ajax is smart to stay in my office, looks like Aries isn’t as smart as his twin brother.
I had already told Aries and Ajax not to bother Rach as much as I can’t wait for the girly gossip and want her by my side. She has been waiting to find her mate and I know she wants it to be perfect. I’m sure she will come up for air soon
