(Book 2) – Chapter 34
I wanted to talk to Nina and see what her opinion on the leaders. I needed to see more of the omegas so we could get a better grasp of what was going on. People wouldn’t think it but since they do all the dirty work they know everything about everything. They really should treat them better especially if they were having an affair, giving out pack secrets, and silly things like that. But before I could do that I needed to check in on Leif.
I found him in the gym taking some anger out on a few warriors. It was like watching a blonde-haired Viking with the way his body was built and how he smiled while taking them out with ease. He looked like both his parents but unlike them he had a personality people liked and trusted. You could tell these warriors respected him because even after getting their butts handed to them they shook his hand and laughed with him. I didn’t want to interrupt his stress relief so we all took a seat on some benches nearby.
“Are you drooling, Mate?” Knox growled in my ear. The warmth of his breath sent shivers down my body and he noticed with a smile.
“His form is great. I wish I could fight like that.” I hid the fact that I was judging his body compared to the twins and found Leif lacking. That was probably a good thing since he wasn’t my mate and I had enough on my plate with my fated mates.
I felt Kane slide to my other side putting his hand on my thigh. “Do you like his muscles? Do you think he could take one of us?” Damn he knew I was doing some comparisons. Butt head.
“Well… You both have stronger legs and core muscles but his upper arms muscles are bigger especially with that tattoo.” Knox growled possessively. “I wonder if he could lift me instead of a dumbbell.” Kane growled this time.
“He..Is…Dead…” The both whispered together. Damn, murderous tendency are a turn on when it comes from them.
“Calm down, Mates. He is nothing compared to all of my mates. I only have eyes for you all.” I kissed them each on the cheek and went back to watching the last warrior walk his way into the ring.
I heard a cough behind me and saw all my mates wanting a k**s. They were all there so who was watching the Luna. Asher noticed and linked me that Nina had pointed out a few warriors who would leave the pack at any chance because they hated the Alpha and Luna. I smiled before giving them each a k**s on the cheek.
“Am I interrupting anything here? You do have a cabin, right?” Leif asked with a laugh when he walked up. I noticed the last warrior got in some good hits so he was holding onto his ribs.
“Shut it, boy.” Edgar hissed. Awe, he loved me too. I smiled at him and I got a questioning look from Leif.
“That is his love language. I am getting better at accepting their caveman ways.” I shrugged my shoulders.” We just wanted to check on you. I know it is hard to go against your parents even if you are right.”
“Thank you. I am better now. I may take a run before going to take care of some personal matters while I have the chance.”
“Before you go may I ask you a few questions?” He nodded and walked toward the office here. Good thinking on his part.
“Sounds good, ask away.” He had sat on the desk while I took a seat beside Asher. The rest of them stayed standing.
“Ok. First why do you think the vampires and witches don’t attack here as often as other packs?” I was hoping he wasn’t a part of his dads shady business.
“I have no idea. I asked my dad a while back and he told me I would know when the time is right. Thinking on it now that sounded super shady and like dad has something to hide. Shit.” He rubbed his face with his hands in frustration.
“I agree. Also do you know about you sister touching other wolves mates and telling them if they object they can take it up with her father?”
“What the hell? Are you serious? I haven’t been here for more than a week or two in the past few years with training, looking for my mate, and helping my cousin with his pack. I noticed she was dressing more like a hooker than she used. I just figured she wanted a guy’s attention after being hurt my Asher.”
“She must have changed a lot and it wasn’t Asher who caused it. He was looking for his mate and she knew they weren’t mates so she knew going into that bedroom for s*x that it was just s*x. She took it farther by talking about rejecting her mate and Asher being her chosen mate. She has taken it even farther here and she is lucky to be walking on her own.” I growled. Asher started rubbing my back to help me relax.
“Damn. Sorry Asher. I should of questioned her more instead of just believing her. So she is causing problems within the pack and my parents are involved with the bad guys. When this meeting is over I want to join your pack for the war and when that is over with I will come back and challenge my father for the Alpha position here.” He stood up and put his hand out to shake mine in agreement.
“You will be welcome. When we win, I will come back and cheer you on against your father. You may have to fight me for some of your omegas. Also know the laws on a lot of things will be changing.” I grabbed his hand but instead of shaking it I have him a hug. I knew he needed one after everything today. My mates must have understood as well because they didn’t rip me away from him.
We had about two hours before dinner so I went back to the cabin for a nap. Right when I had found the right position on the bed between two of my mates and closed my eyes my phone started ringing. I shoved at Blake who was the closest to it so he would grab it. He grunted but gave it to me before closing his eyes again.
“Hello?” I didn’t recognize the number but I had hope that it was Charles. The guys had been asking where he was but I didn’t want to tell the guys I didn’t trust the Alpha and sent Charles to check out the towns nearby. I felt bad doing it because I had nothing to go on but that phone call with my mom rattled me.
“Hello, Princess. It is Charles.” I shot off the bed pushing Knox onto the floor since he was on the edge. I muttered an apology as I ran to grab my notebook to write down the information I got.
“I was starting to worry about you. Why are you using this phone?”
“This is safer. I have my other phone hidden somewhere. I don’t need them knowing who I am with or pretending to be me through text.”
“Smart thinking. I knew I sent the right man for the job.” The guys sat up and stared at me. I could see all the questions they had but they respectfully held them back for now.
“Why, Thank you. Now I don’t have long. There is two clans within an hour of the pack grounds which is more than normal. There was a few members at a bar near me last night and they got drunk enough to speak about things best hidden. It seems your Alpha told them you were there and what the patrols were going to be tonight. The Luna has ordered a hit on you. It seems she thinks if your dead they can become the royal family.”
“What the f**k? I am going to kill that bitch.” I had an urge to punch her until her face became as ugly as her insides.
“They also discussed how the clan is going to turn on the Alpha after they get what they want from him. I don’t know what it is but they struck a deal a year or so ago and it also involves their daughter. I think I heard something about marriage and kids.”
“Well s**t. Ok. Are you safe to head here? We are having a big pack meeting this evening and I would like to deal with what I can before making a clean exit for now. I will take them down when I have more man power with me and more details. We need an insider here.”
“One of the vampires we sent out found a clan that has been helping him and wants to fight with us. He can vet for a few of them so lets pull him from there and leave them to finish that job. He can come here and do the same thing.”
“Sounds good. Let me know when you get here how that went.” We said our good-byes and hung up. I looked at my mates and knew I had to explain myself.
“Ok. Let me explain everything before you freak out on me. And a coffee would be great since we won’t be getting that nap. Do any of you know Nina’s number so I can get one of her iced coffees? Extra extra large?”
“I will get that ordered for you and then you talk.” Asher kissed me and went to find the house phone to handle my order.
