When I got to the front door I put my boots and jacket on while Jackson stayed back and put everything away to make sure that they weren't discovered by anyone snooping around. Wyatt took me to the hospital where Carter was and took me straight to his room where he was being treated for some extensive injuries. "Hi there you." He smiled at me when I went into the room. "Carter. What the hell are you doing here?" I asked. "I went to your house but no one was there. And it's really late here. I thought more places would be open but I couldn't find anything. I was going to ask if anyone knew where you would be." He explained. "I'm living at the packhouse." I say walking up beside him. "Wow. Fancy." He chuckled. "Who did this?" I asked. "I don't know. It was a wolf. I could recognise their scent if I smelt it again. But otherwise, I don't have a clue." He says. "What color was the wolf?" Wyatt asked. And Carter looked at me before he answered. "It's alright. This is Beta
Jackson and I stayed hidden in the woods as we watched these girls dressed in very scantily clad clothing, especially for this weather, and they were crying and being manhandled by warriors that were much larger than they were. The van started up and headed down the driveway so Jackson and I started running through the woods to follow the van and it eventually pulled up outside the abandoned school. Carter said that the school had shut down. The girls were taken out of the van and ushered inside so Jackson and I slowly and quietly approached the building and we looked in the front door but we couldn't see anyone in the hallway there. So we walked inside and started following their scent down the hall and around a couple of corners until we got to the closed doors of the gymnasium. Jackson made sure that I stayed behind him in case we got caught but he opened the door slightly, hoping that it wouldn't make a noise, and we saw mattresses all over the floor of the gymnasium and the
The following morning I woke up in Jackson's arms and he was already awake staring up at the ceiling. He just looked very content and we lied there for ages in silence. I would start to think about other thoughts and Jackson would snap me out of it pretty quickly. He was pretty obviously sick of all the drama that has been going on around here. And we've just added to our work load. We had Alpha Richmond's pack to deal with now. There was something wrong going on there and we needed to deal with that. Someone had to. And we were the ones that Carter came to for help. I would have loved to stay in bed all day, but we both knew that wasn't an option. Especially not when Wyatt knocked on the door and opened it suddenly. Jackson quickly made sure that I was covered up so that Wyatt didn't see anything and started yelling at him for barging into our room. "I'm sorry Alpha. But Lennox is back. And he's got the rest of the council with him." Wyatt says. So Jackson and I looked at each
Jackson eventually got everyone out of our packhouse, even his siblings, and he took me to the dining room where we waited for our dinner but he knew that I was still really pissed off. They were questioning me about those photos. Why would I lie about them? I was trying to get Jackson to mend things with his father. I wouldn't start shit between them if it wasn't true. Jackson knew that I was still irritated and he was doing everything that he could to calm me down. But the more I thought about it, the more I got pissed off about it. The council were coming back the following day to interview Elias and Gladys. But we had a lot of work to do before this whole thing went to trial. Like creating bigger packs and it was going to be nearly impossible to do unless we completely cut out sleep altogether. We need to make sure that it looks like Jackson did everything he's done for the good of the pack. He might not have done that at the time, but I know that he's not the same man that he w
A little while later we were called to the living room and the council members were waiting for us with Jackson's siblings. "Alright. We've interrogated both of your parents, Alpha Jackson. And we think the best course is to take them back with us." Lennox says. "What?" Jackson asked. "There is definitely something substantial to what you found out. You did a good job, but we believe that this goes a lot further than your parents. Especially where the Hunters are concerned. We need to get them away from all obvious locations and we will get as much information out of them as possible." Lennox explained. "So, you're putting them in witness protection instead of making them pay for their crimes. What the hell kind of werewolf council are you?" I asked. "Do you think you could do better?" Lennox asked. "With my fucking eyes closed." I snapped back. "Put them in my car." Lennox instructed the other council members and he approached me trying to look really menacing but I sto
We slowly approached Richmond pack at 8am and I knew that everyone would be asleep because they do operate late into the night. And everyone split up to surround the entire pack. Jackson and I took the lead and headed straight for the high school, where we knew that the girls were being kept. I managed to jump up on my hind legs and pull the door handle down on the front door and we went inside slowly and cautiously. All senses up. We went down one hallway and then peered around the other hallway where we saw a man holding a gun. He was a Hunter. He didn't have the senses of a werewolf so it would be a lot easier. He was keeping guard and we started creeping up the hall behind me. As soon as we got right behind him, Jackson let out a small growl and the guard turned around only for me to pounce on him and break his neck without him even being able to scream and alert the others. We continued down that path and we were headed towards the gym where the girls were being kept and
I slowly opened my eyes and my body was aching all over. The light was shining brightly through the windows with the curtains open, just the way I usually like it. And I realized that I was in a bedroom. It was a room in the packhouse at Richmond Pack and I turned my head to the left and I saw Jackson standing there talking to the doctor. "Hey baby. You're awake." Jackson says rushing over to me. "What the hell happened?" I asked. "You lost a lot of blood. They've stitched you up and given up a couple bags of blood to replace what you lost." He says. "I feel like I've been hit by a truck." I say. "That's to be expected right now. You need to take it easy sweetie." The doctor says. "It's good to see you again doc." I said. "I've missed you calling me doc. You're the only one that ever has." He says smiling at me. "Yeah. Jackson's always telling me that I need to show more respect." I say and Jackson chuckled at that. "As you can see, I haven't had much luck." Jackson s
Once Thomas realized the situation that he was in he grabbed Victoria's arm and they started backing out of the kitchen and headed for the door. But then I heard Victoria gasp and they came back to the kitchen with four of our warriors standing right behind them. "What the hell do you want? You have no right barging into our house like this." Victoria snapped at me. "And you had no right to kidnap girls and traffic them for money. I guess we've all been a little bad lately." I say. "What are you talking about?" Thomas asked, stuttering. "When you plan a coup against the Alpha then you should really protect your defenses better. I saw you with the girls at the packhouse. You collected money from the Beta, who is now dead, and then you took the girls in a van to the high school. Do I have that wrong? Because Jackson saw it as well." I say. "You two have gotten awfully close since the last time we saw you." Victoria spat at me. And I smiled at her and then at Jackson. "We're a
