SWNOVELS Chapter Eighty- Nine: The Phone Call
Ninety: The Phone Call
Nate
I am sitting in my office when my phone rings. It made me jump basically because I was not expecting it. I picked it up and saw that it was Vynessa. I couldn't understand why she would be calling me. If she was gonna call anyone I figured it would be Dustin or Mykayla. They seemed to have become friends at the convention a week ago. We all kept in touch with Aiden afterwards since he knew what was happening. I picked up the phone. What she told me caused me to become mute. I asked why she called me, and she said she tried calling Dustin, but he didn't pick up. Ahh, that's right, he and Kaleb are meeting with Dimitri today. I told her that I would tell Dustin what she told me. I hung up my phone and sat back in my seat. I am not surprised by some of the information. I am not sure how we are going to handle this. I mind linked Dustin to let him know that we all needed to meet and have a talk with everyone, minus the girls. He asked why and I told him I wanted to tell everyone at the same time. He said ok and that he will tell everyone to meet later. I swear this last year has been a rollercoaster of shit. Not to mention that Danyilla and I have been planning our wedding. That is going to take place in two months. I really hope that all this shit is figured out by then, or it waits to blow up after the wedding. I really want her to have the perfect day. She deserves nothing less. I know Mykayla and Dustin are planning their wedding as well, but that is still far off yet. I had to laugh at Kaleb because he was excited to start planning when Kylani said she had already planned it. He stood there and looked shocked. Her explanation was that she had had 2500 years to plan for her wedding, so she did. Kaleb said they would talk about it because he wanted some say. She finally agreed, but I have no idea how much he is going to get her to change. I can tell you that she is set as far as where she wants her honeymoon. Kaleb let her have that. We are going to Greece and Italy for our honeymoon. I can’t wait, considering that is where they are from originally. I close my computer and stand—my back cracks since I have been sitting for so long. I push my chair in and leave the room. I lock the door. We have all started doing this just in case a spy might be lurking around. I start walking to Marcus's house for our meeting. This should be fun.

I was surprised when Dustin called us to let us know that we needed to have a meeting this afternoon. I wonder what could be so important for a meeting to be called on such short notice. I was with Zak and Jace in our surveillance room. We are still trying to locate the three bears. Plus Marcus and I have decided to keep an eye on Alpha Darrius. That guy is an utter jackass. We all noticed him staring at all the girls all night. He seemed to be most interested in Mykenzie and Kylani. However, I did notice him staring at Alexis as well. From what I was told about him, she is just his type. Well, he can stay the fuck away from my woman. I will fucking tear his head off if he even tried anything with her. The three of us get up and head towards the living room to meet with the rest of the guys. We all know the girls know that we are discussing what is going on when we meet here, but we are still trying to keep it on the down low. Luckily today, all the girls are having lunch with Imyra, Aphrodite, and some of the other women in the family in Imyras’ land, so they are literally untouchable and have no idea for now as to what is going on. The three of us take our normal seats as this meeting starts.
“Vynessa called me today.” Nate states.
"Aiden’s wife?" Zane asks.
“Yeah,” Nate replies.
“Why?” Marcus asks.
“She said that she overheard Alpha Darrius talking to his beta about meeting some old friends when they got back to their land after the convention.” He explains.
“Ok and?” Brighton says.
“She overheard him say they will meet three bears to discuss helping them with a problem. She didn't put too much thought into it while she was here because it held no meaning to her. I guess she and Aiden were talking about what was going on, and that’s when it clicked. She thinks he might be meeting the werebears we are looking for.” Nate finishes explaining.
Well, now there is a twist I wasn't expecting. While Darrius never mentioned names, it can’t be a coincidence that he is meeting three bears when we are looking for three bears. I wonder how that fucker even knows Damian and his friends.
"How in the hell does Darrius even know them?” Kaleb asks.
“She had no idea, and he didn't say. I am not even sure when or how she managed to overhear this. “ Nate admits.
“I think I might have an idea of how.” Donte adds.
“Ok tells us,” Dustin says.
“Well, Brandon and I used to frequent underground bear fights. I don’t remember seeing him at any of them, but I bet that's where they met.” Donte explains.
Ok, this makes sense. I have no doubt that this is the most likely place for them to meet. Wolves and bears as a whole don't like each other. It is a very rare instance that bears and wolves befriend each other. I ask Nate if she said anything else, and he says no. Nate says that Vynessa told him that the conversation stopped when someone walked by, and the two walked off. Zak, Jace, and I return to the surveillance room. We are soon joined by Marcus and Donte. The five of us sit around and talk about how we can run surveillance on that pack. We can't send the animals because they would leave prints, and while Darrius is an asshole, he isn’t stupid.
“Let me talk to Poseidon. I know that his pack land has a lot of water on it. It has many small streams and a couple of large lakes. Maybe he can help us find a way to run surveillance.” Donte tells us.
We tell him to find out and let us know. I know who could run surveillance, but we are not going to get those two involved. Besides, Kaleb would kill us. Donte leaves to talk to Poseidon, and we return to what we did earlier.
