SWNOVELS Chapter Sixty - Two Skeletons
Sixty-Two: Skeletons
Dustin
It has been one week since they tried to capture the girls. They have all recovered from their injuries. Dimitri came the next day, and we told him everything that Deklan had told us. He was both shocked and pissed. He had no idea that any of the Navarro family had survived. He also had no idea how any survived. All we could guess was that someone had helped some of them survive. He had no idea who would help them, but he was going to find out. I am sitting in the rec room with the guys. We are watching the little ones. Dominick is walking around. I should say following Jordyn around. She and Xaydyn are walking well now, and my son has decided that he needs to follow her everywhere. Kaleb has somewhat come to terms with the fact that his daughter is more than likely the future luna of this pack. Kylani thinks it is cute and supports it entirely. Kaleb usually just rolls his eyes. When the girls were in the pack hospital, we discovered that Mykayla is again carrying my pup again. She almost passed out while we were there waiting on the girls. The doctor checked her with an ultrasound. I asked her if she knew, and she said no, that she just thought it was all the stress causing her to be so tired. I am excited about her having another pup. This pregnancy is a little more difficult for her. She has had really bad morning sickness. I look over and see Dimitri walking into the rec room. He smiles when he sees the babies. He looks at me, then at the rest of the guys. I can tell he wants to talk, but with Marcus and Jason there, I know he doesn’t want to.
“It's fine Dimitri,” I tell him.
He nods at me and sits down. He explains almost everything to them and then tells us what he found out. We also found out about Mykayla's mom. She wasn't just human. She had a mix of fae blood in her and was also a direct descendant of Ares. Yes, the god and Mykenzie and Kylani's cousin. No one was sure who her mother’s parents were, but Dimitri was still trying to find out with the help of some of the other gods. They were not happy to find out that someone was still trying to cause issues. This got me thinking about something that he told us a while ago.
“Whatever happened to Penthesilea and Phlegyas?” I asked him.
“I honestly have no idea. All I was told was that Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon took care of them. I know Ares was torn, they were his children but they did try and bring down the gods.” He says.
We continued to talk for a few more hours, but none of us could come up with anything. Dimitri even told us that the gods had no idea who was behind all of this. No one seemed to know what was going on. We did somewhat find out where the pack was located, but the area was huge. I found it strange that so much land was unclaimed by any pack. It was very pristine land, and it was land that could be a very strategic location. I wondered why our pack hadn't taken the land. I asked my father, and he said that he tried to buy or absorb it, but the last was not for sale, and the council said the land was unavailable. They said that it did belong to a pack, but they would not go into details. I was determined to figure out why this land was so mysterious.

It's been a week since we ambushed the girls as they were shopping in the next town over. We almost had them this time. The Alpha’s mate wasn't with them, but Natalya and Nymyra were. It was going well until they split up, and we had to break into smaller groups to try and catch them. That's when it happened we cornered the sisters, and holy fucking shit. The power they dished out was unexplainable. I have never seen anything like that. I knew there was more to them than anyone was telling us. I wonder if my mother knows who they really are.
We are sitting in my office when my mother walks in.
“Hello, boys.” She says.
I tell her what happened, and she stands there with a blank look on her face. I was expecting shock, but she actually looked like she was expecting this. I am beginning to think my mother knows much more than she says. I notice a man walking in behind her. I know he is a cousin or related to her somehow. I think they look more like sisters and brothers than cousins. Dad never liked him and told mom not to have him around us. She never did listen. That was one of the things that they fought about a lot.
“Mother, do you know who they are?” I asked.
She says yes and tells us the story. We are shocked to learn the truth about the girls. That was not what I was expecting.
“You need to stop trying to catch them and kidnap the wolves. The girls will do anything for them.” She says.
Kidnap the ranking members of the pack. Well, I never thought of that. The werebears are still helping us. The leader and his second in command want a couple of the other girls. I am starting to think about what she is telling me when I realize that they may have followed us back to our land. Well, it wasn't really our land. We are using the old packs of house and territory. According to the council, no one is allowed to have this land, but they also won't explain why it is off-limits. Whatever pack used to have this land was big and powerful. You can tell by the way they set up the property. The weird thing is there are no visible markings on the buildings or anywhere to say the pack’s name. We have looked around, and it is like they removed all identifying marks. Then there is the fact that the Alpha’s mate is carrying another of his pups. I still want these three girls and am determined to get them. They will be our mates. I could care less about the pups. The pack can keep them. I also want her little sister. I fully believe that she has some powers. She is just too young for them to manifest yet. I am also starting not to trust my mother. I still think she is hiding stuff from me about these girls and what the hell is with her cousin. I heard them talking in some strange language. I will have my revenge, oh that fucking pack.
