Chapter 148 by Ebony Woods
“Alpha?” Nate calls me over as he’s using the surveillance camera on the pack.
“Yep?” I head over, placing a kiss on Evelyn’s head as she remains discussing something with Noah.
“Look…” Nate points at the pack, his finger showing me the exact place I should focus in on.
I see instantly what he has been surveilling…Natascha. Renard’s bitch daughter who was on friendly terms with Vicky.
She’s on her mobile in the courtyard outside of the alpha house, talking rather animatedly down the phone to someone. She seems irate, looking at the alpha house before looking back at her car.
Shit, I need her to stay here. I won’t wait for her to return to launch the raid.
Frustratingly, she finishes the call before getting in her car and driving like a maniac out of the central pack grounds.
I’m talking road dust flying everywhere and even young pack children having to jump out of the way as she doesn’t seem to want to wait for the supply truck leaving ahead of her. She stupidly swerves on to the pavement…I can’t believe what I am watching.
“She’s leaving…fuck! We won’t be able to pin anything on her if she leaves..” I groan out to Nate..
“Do you want me to get someone to follow her?” Nate suggests.
“No…” As much as it goes against my nature to let a snake escape, she was part of the problem, not leading the problem.
I give the order for us to creep in closer to the grounds, the warriors were on foot but I was adamant that Evelyn would remain in the car with me.
I planned for us to arrive as if late arrivals to the meeting, expected, but late. Evelyn and I had agreed to rein our auras in, Nate causing a diversion at a border fence to summon the guards away from the main gate.
“Sweetheart, I’d feel happier if you sat this one out.” I give it one last attempt to make her see sense, to make her change her mind.
“I know you would Reuben but I’m pregnant, not incapable of holding my own. I promise I won’t get physical unless necessary…but I am an alpha and will handle things as I see fit.”
“That’s not the answer I wanted to hear …” I pull the car onto the side of the road, turning off the car lights.
“Well that’s the answer you’re getting.” She smirks as she rests her head against the head rest.
She’s tired. She was still irresistible, her skin glowing, her tits already getting plumper…but her eyes held a hidden tiredness behind them.
What a fucking nightmares she’s been through, of course she is tired.
I had faith that once I find Father, I’ll be able to make her life safe again. I wouldn’t fail her in punishing him for what he has done to her, to my children.
Who the fuck did he think he was?
Trying to usurp my throne and take her alliance at the same time?
She and I have come so far, and I felt that we were now stronger than ever. Our mate bond uniting our souls together. She’s already given me two pups and now she was growing another pup.
“If something happens…”
“Sshhh, it won’t…” She tuts before correcting me.
“I just want you to know how much I love you.”
“I love you too.” She smiles at me, her face taking in a dreamy expression.
“Alpha? I’m in position and ready.” Nate’s voice enters my mind as I grant him access through the pack link.
“Launch attack.” I command through the link. Evelyn giving the same order to her warriors.
