Warrior Wolves, M.C.

Venom ~

Fucking Slate has gone to ground again. I have had my men out every day. Canvassing the streets.. all my snitches have been contacted.. guaranteed ten grand for viable information that will lead is to Slate’s hideout.

Delaney has a doctor’s appointment to find out the baby’s gender.. and we are headed there now, with Maddox. He loves going to hear the heartbeat.

Delaney is upset with me at the moment.. for drinking all her juice and putting the empty carton back in the fridge. For the record.. I don’t drink juice.. at all.. ever.. and she put the carton back in the fridge. I know she did. I watched her do it. I apologized and promised never to do it again and I would buy her more juice on the way home. And I wouldn’t drink a drop.

Pretty much how our days go. She does something.. and I apologize. She has some wild pregnancy brain moments. It’s funny pulling pranks on her.. Well. Until she gets pissed and we all run for cover.

Axe snapped a picture of her phone while we were having breakfast..then texted the picture to her.. saying she left her phone in the kitchen. She came down to get her phone.. while proving to Axe he had texted her about forgetting her phone.. by showing him the texted picture.. on her phone.. in her hand.. It took us several minutes of looking for her phone.. for her to realize she had it the whole time. But we helped her search anyway.

The doctor asks if we’re excited and she smiles.. her first smile since breakfast.. and I was over the moon when she took my hand. She whispered “I’m sorry, babe. I don’t mean to be such a pain in the ass.. I don’t know what comes over me.” A tear rolls down her cheek and I say “No baby.. No no no.. don’t cry. It’s your hormones.. and I’m a big guy. I got broad shoulders. I can take it. Six more weeks.. that’s end game, baby girl! Our little one will be here and you will start feeling more like yourself.”

My eyes were glued to the screen and Maddox kept asking “What’s that?” every few seconds. The doctor was patient and answered every time. Several minutes later.. he looked up from the monitor and said “That is one big baby! Probably going to weigh between eight and nine pounds at birth. Are you doing a gender reveal, or do you just want to know?”

We all three said “We just want to know..” The doc grinned and asked “Eager.. are we? Well.. not going to keep you in suspense.. It’s a boy. A fully mantled Alpha is my guess.. From his size.. and the strength of his movements.”

I looked at Delaney.. this time, with tears in my eyes. She giggled and said “Well. Alpha! We are having an Alpha! Who would have guessed that?” I laughed and Maddox said “I’m an Uncle to a bad ass!” And Delaney scolded him for language.

Walking back into the clubhouse, the Valkyrie had decorated and were grilling out.. Everyone had gathered to hear what we were having.. and to throw Delaney a baby shower. To which she promptly broke out in tears.. insisting on hugging every member of the club.. which literally postponed the party for another hour.

Toward the end of the evening, and everything was winding down.. Sara and Bianca asked if they could speak with me, privately. I refused them a private audience “I can meet with you.. but not privately. I would never put myself in a position of being doubted by my mate.. I owe it to her. So, if you’d like to meet with Delaney, Axe and myself.. that’s doable.”

Bianca laughed “Oh my God! That did sound bad, didn’t it!? I apologize. I meant privately.. as in away from a crowd.. where we won’t be overheard.”

It was my turn to apologize for the misunderstanding. We headed to my office and I told Chainz we were not to be disturbed.

Sara laid a paper on my desk “This is an email I printed out. They are being sent to every woman on campus.. We polled all our friends.. and any of us under 25… received it. There’s a questionnaire that we have to fill out. That’s this paper.. The questions are targeting our family history.. Bianca and I ran algorithms to see which of us received responding emails after the questionnaires were mailed back.”

Bianca said “Sara filled in her family information truthfully.. Mine.. I made it look like I had no family.. only child.. parents dead.. kind of thing. I received a response. If you read this one.. I think our concerns will be explained.”

I read over the original email.. questionnaire and corresponding email. I looked at the girls.. “Good work, ladies. This email indicates this could very well be the Colonel’s next move.”

I handed it to Delaney.. she smirked “Oh.. this is ingenious! Listen.. We are offering an exclusive opportunity to women of your caliber. Joining our program will reap many benefits. You will be handsomely rewarded for participating in our program. There will be wardrobe and monetary compensation for your time. You will be expected to travel.. in some cases, dieting may be a requirement.. as well as altering hair color.. or the wearing of contacts.”

Axe said “Holy Shit! Why abduct them.. if they will come to you willingly. It’s an offer that would be very tempting to a vulnerable woman.. All he has to do is get them to the destination he gives them.. and they are never seen again. It’s really very cunning.”

Bianca said “That’s what we thought, too. And that’s why we are here. I accepted the offer.. to help you catch this guy. I am asking for your protection. Once I am notified of a location to meet them.. whoever they are.. I don’t want to go in blind. I would appreciate it if I could feel safer about it.”

I told her “We will absolutely protect you. I would ask you to consider allowing us to inject trackers under your skin.. as well as cameras.. listening devices.. hidden in your clothes.. jewelry.. even contacts for your eyes. We would be able to see and hear everything you do.. and I will have people close by to extract you, should the situation turn south.”

Delaney asked “Have you gone to the police?” Sara nodded “We did. First, we went to campus security.. then we spoke to the Dean.. and finally, we spoke with the sheriff. We were told that if we are suspicious, then mark the emails as spam.. report it to the internet.. and don’t respond.”

Bianca tells us “The thing is.. we have no way of knowing how many girls have responded.. or met with these people. The first emails appeared a week ago. No telling how fast this is snowballing.”

I agreed “I absolutely agree with you. I believe your instincts are spot on. If you agree to the trackers.. we should do that as soon as possible. For all we know, you may be being watched, even now. I can have Gizmo take care of cameras and trackers right now.. before you leave. I will give you both burner phones.. as yours may be bugged. Only contact the numbers programmed into the burners once you know where you are to meet. I will need to get my men in place to protect you.”

She smiled “Thank you! We knew we could count on you. Especially after the proper authorities decided we’re just airheaded attention seeking college cuties incapable of insightful thinking”

Delaney cracked up “Yeah. I can see that!” Bianca stuck her tongue out at her, making Delaney laugh more.
