SWNOVELS Chapter Seventy - One: Meeting the Enemy
Seventy-One: Meeting the Enemy
Dustin
We had agreed to meet the three guys that had been trying to basically kidnap Mykenzie, Kylani, and Mykayla for well over a year now. I only agreed to this because Chris, Dimitri, and Brandon had talked to these three, and Brandon had also played the recording of the meeting that he overheard a couple of weeks ago. We had decided on a new location for the meeting. We were trying not to raise suspicion with Mykenzie and Kylani. They are the last two we want to be involved with now. We had decided to meet them at a place that Marcus and Jason knew. It was an old restaurant that was no longer open. Apparently, it had belonged to Marcus and Jason's grandfather and now to them. Our fathers were even there. We finally had to update them on what was happening. They actually thought it was a good idea to meet the three and see what they had to say. I am still having mixed emotions about this meeting. I want to hear what they have to say, but at the same time, all I can think about is all the shit they have done or tried to do to the girls. All I can see is all seven of them coming back injured to some extent while protecting Mykayla. I remember when it first started, and now that I think of it, I know Kylani was pregnant with Jordyn at the time. That thought alone makes me see red, and I want to kill someone. I take a few deep breaths and calm myself down. All of us had been there for half an hour when Chris let us know that Brandon and the other three would be here in ten minutes. I looked around, and to be honest, you could cut the tension in this room with a knife. I heard the door to the restaurant open. We all watched as Brandon walked in, followed by three guys. I studied the three. Chris was right; these three were just kids. I actually found it hard to believe that any of them were even 18. I watched as all three of them stopped dead in their tracks and stared at all of us. I could tell that they were nervous, and I can't blame them. They just walked into a room with ten wolves, two werebears, five immortals (one immortal being one of the most powerful beings ever), and a vampire. Yeah, we had Deklan there since he knows these guys. He was still pissed at them for getting him involved and in trouble with Mykenzie and Kylani. Brandon had them sit down by him. I could tell he felt sorry and a bit protective of these three. If what he said was true, then these three have been used badly.
“Hello, I am Alpha Dustin. I have agreed to meet you because Chris, Brandon, and Dimitri have told me about you three and what happened. I would like to hear from you about what exactly has happened. None of us in this room trust you but I respect what they have told me.” I explain.
“I understand Alpha. My name is Zane.” He says to me.
“Who was your father, Zane?” My father asks.
“My father was Alpha Ricardo of the Crimson Tide Pack.” He answers.
I notice all of our fathers look at each other. I can tell you that they know this Alpha. I look at the rest of the guys, and we all wonder what is going on. My dad explains that Zane's dad was never an Alpha. The Crimson Tide Pack was led by an Alpha named Phil. He says that his father must have had a spell placed on him to make him believe that he was the Alpha. Dad explained that Alpha Phil was alive and that the Crimson Tides Pack’s land was over 150 miles from here. Their land bordered the very southeast of our land. The look on Zane's face was a complete shock.
“So then what pack did my father belong to?” Zane asked.
“He actually was part of our pack until he left 19 years ago when he said that he found his mate. She was the daughter of Alpha Phil. I know that she dies giving birth to her first and only child, you Zane.” Dad said.
“I spoke with Alpha Phil shortly after your birth and he said that your father and you had just disappeared. They searched but they were unable to even pick up your scent. I scented the pack scent when you attacked the girls in the alleyway but I knew that the Crimson Tide Pack wouldn't attack us since we are on good terms and have a strong alliance. I actually called him that night to ask about it and he had no idea why the pack's scent would be present.” Dad explained
“That means that Penthesilea and Phlegyas must have cast a spell on him and basically kidnapped you. I know that several pups were kidnapped from packs in the pacific northwest around the same time. I bet they were behind those kidnappings.” Unce Liam states.
I look at the other two and realize that they are probably some of the pups that were kidnapped by Penthesilea and Phlegyas. They were trying to build their own pack by raising kids that they could manipulate and control. These two were really evil. Zane introduced the other two and let them talk for the next three hours about everything they could remember. I could tell that there were many things that they tried to remember, but the memories were very foggy. I could tell that this was frustrating for them greatly. We explained to them that someone had placed what was called a memory block in their minds to make it hard or impossible for them to remember certain things. They were pissed about this. As we sat there, we had a fire going in the fireplace. We were having a good conversation, and we all realized that these three were not who we should be pissed at. Yes, they tried to get the girls, but they had been lied to and manipulated into doing so by Penthesilea, and Phlegyas was shocked to find out that Zane was part of our pack and that his father was our best warrior at one time. We could not find out which packs the other two were from. All of the sudden the fire in the fireplace raged in size and turned an iridescent colour of blue to green. We looked around and saw all five of the animals. Shit, in the middle of our group, stood Mykenzie and Kylani, who looked pissed. Their eyes were already glowing, and the red hue was already present. The rest of the girls were standing around, ready for something. I looked, and the three and I thought they were going to pass out from fear.
“WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?" They say in unison.
