SWNOVELS Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 33
Axton POV
My heart thumps erratically when I hang up the phone, the bond screaming at me to get to her and our sons. The panic in her voice sends fear slivering through my veins, turning it ice cold. A fear I’ve never known so strong sweeps through me, and I run for my bedroom door. My fear for them has adrenaline shooting through me, and I don’t even bother to dress; my sole focus is on getting to them.
As I took the stairs two at a time, I nearly smashed my way through the front door, grabbing my keys from the hook next to it as I went. Stepping outside, the night’s breeze is warm, but I can smell the brewing storm that is fast approaching the city.
I race to my car, jumping in and reversing out; as I do, I hit the garbage bin knocking it over and sending rubbish
everywhere. “Shit!” I curse, spinning the car around and hitting the accelerator, my car bottoms out on the end of the driveway, and the tires screech as I race to get to them.
I try to ring border patrol to tell them to have the gates open. Osiris’s men should have just changed over from mine, yet I get no answer, so I try again. Not getting any answer from them, I toss the phone onto the passenger seat.
As I reach the borders of the city, I notice blue and red lights flashing ahead and slow down, wondering what is going on. When I approach, I find it blocked off by police cars, Alpha Osiris’s pack members, and Alpha Thomas’s. Alpha Osiris stands in the middle of the road with his arms folded across
his chest with a smug smile on his lips like he is expecting me.
My car’s tires screech as I slam on the brakes to stop from plowing into the side of the vehicles blocking the exit and Alpha Osiris. Cursing, I open my pack link. “Get to the f*****g borders now!” I yell at my men.
“What’s going on?” Eli mumbles, half asleep but becoming alert at my order. Chatter fills the link as my men wait on an explanation.
“Osiris’s men aren’t letting me out of the city! Elena is in trouble.” I tell him.
“On our way!” I get from my men.
“I knew his men were acting weird when they swapped patrols as we returned to the city! I saw our men arguing over the scheduled times.” Eli tells me.
“Just get here now!” I snap at them, cutting the link.
Switching the engine off, I toss the door open and climb out of the car, snarling. Thunder rumbles loudly, and lightning cracks and whips across the sky, briefly filling it with light, followed by another deafening boom that hurts my ears.
“What the f**k is going on? Move your cars now!” I yell at them, and Alpha Osiris casually strides over, a smirk on his lips. His eyes flashed at my command.
“A little birdy told me you were about to breach your court order council restrictions?” Alpha Osiris asks with a smile on his face.
“We were just making sure you were following your probation.
What kind of friend would I be if I allowed you to breach probation? He taunts, “I’m just looking out for you, Alpha.” I turn my attention to Alpha Thomas, who is leaning against one of the barricades they have built.
My eyes are drawn to him when he pulls his phone out, messaging someone. He then quickly pockets it, and I grit my teeth, turning my attention back to Osiris.
“My mate’s pack is under attack, Osiris. I will rip through your f*****g men if you don’t move. Your choice!”
“An attack? No, it’s just a family reunion. Alpha Derrick was so excited to hear his luna and son were coming back home. He is even considering letting Elena and the boys return home. Isn’t this great news?” Osiris laughs.
My eyes flicker to Khan’s as he presses forward hearing that. My stomach drops just at the mention of my sons and not knowing what is going on. Yet I can feel Elena is okay, furious, but okay for now. But I know this is a setup by Derrick.
Where Derrick is involved, his intentions are anything but family-orientated; the bastard has been trying to get his pack back any way he can, and now that’s not working, he will try to force her hand by wiping out her pack. And Elena’s pack is far too small to stand against that many without backup.
The fact they have this place blocked off and council members here to witness this was organized for some time.
Shaking my head, I turn back to my car, determined to drive straight through the barricades, even if it means running over him and his men. Only when I do I notice two of the supernatural council members surrounded by armed men standing near my car.
“You’re making a mistake!” I tell them, seeing around ten council officers standing behind them. They lift and point their guns at me. And I snarl in response, pulling my phone from my pocket.
“You’re not the only one with friends in high places, Axton. Not even Marco will get you out of this one when you have two council members here to witness your breach!” Osiris says behind me. I message Marco, demanding to know what is going on, and a second later, my phone rings in my hand.
“Where are you?” I demand when I answer the call placing the phone to my ear. Khan presses against my skin nervously, his patience running thin the longer we are stuck standing here.
“In the city, at the council, I’ve just heard; I am working on it! Someone sent through a message saying there would be an altercation. They have the city tech hacking your cameras for the street live feed. I’m headed there now.”
