Chapter 74
“First of all, I know that for the sake of sensitivity about what happened to you both and to you packs, we should wait, but-” Alpha Wade starts
“A full investigation is being launched to figure out what actually happened and where to place you all.” Ali breaks in. Alpha Wade sighs and slides his mate a glance.
“Yes. You are something very different from what we are used to.” Alpha Wade offers a genuine smile.
“And you want to determine if I am a friend or a foe?” Axel asks.
“Exactly. We found a library which we kind of commandeered as a sort of headquarters until we know how to move forward. I know you don’t have any actual pack lands with which to take your newly formed pack, so we want to hammer out some things to solidify where people can begin to go.”
“Thank you,” I say, squeezing Axel’s hand in mine as we walk alongside Wade and Ali.
My eyes flick down to Ali’s bicep where a large gauze is wrapped around he

*Axel* There is a lot more that we will need to discuss with Wade and Ali, but for the time being, I can feel the tension easing a little in my shoulders. We are all in uncharted territory looking for the best outcome, not understanding what we are stepping into, but it helps that Wade seems trustworthy. I’m not sure I could survive committee judgment if he wasn’t trustworthy. Maggie slips her hand into mine, the sparks humming happily along our skin. She grins up at me wide and her stomach growls again. This girl has an appetite. I chuckle when her cheeks grow pink and her hands fly to cover her protesting belly. Her timing couldn’t be more perfect as we enter the kitchen. I pause slightly when I notice Dr. Sari sitting at the counter having a staring contest with a bar of chocolate that sits opposite of her. Maggie and I watch her for a minute, sliding amused glances at each other before Maggie walks over and takes a seat next to her.

I’m not exactly sure what we were expecting to find when we arrived in the room. There is a sheet divider down the center and I’m not sure who is on the other side, but they are as quiet as Gregor, who lies on the table with blue lips and a gray face. Sari feels for a pulse and then grabs her stethoscope, then listens to his chest for a few minutes. I cling to Maggie for support, and she doesn’t let me down as she steps closer and wraps her arm around my midsection, resting her head against the side of my chest. Billy stands to the side as he crushes some plants into a bowl. He moves quickly and with a pointed purpose as he steps up to Gregor’s side and looks up at Sari, who nods. They count to three and gently roll the large man towards her. Billy frowns and puts the bowl down, using both hands to hold Gregor’s body where it is, and he uses his eyes to call Sari over. When she sees what he is showing her, her eyes crinkle, and she slides us a worried

Cora comes rounding the corner with Hans right beside her, Jacob trailing close behind. Her eyes are red and puffy, her hair a tousled mess, and her nose pink and raw from blowing her nose. Hans is looking no better. His once lively smile and tan skin are nowhere to be seen. He moves like a zombie with no light in his eyes, offering Cora a hand when she shudders, trying to shed the weight of another onslaught of tears. The excitement of showing them overwhelms me as I smile wide and stick my hands in my pockets, trying to keep my eyes glued to the ground. They step in front of me, stopping and looking at me with their blank stare. My stomach lurches. They both look so broken and vacant. “Cora just fell asleep, Axel.” Hans frowns “I know, and I’m sorry to have woken you up when you really need some sleep. I’m not sure this is the right way to do this. Hell, I’m not sure anyone would actually know what the right way is, but…”

Maggie stiffens, and I hold her tight to my chest, refusing to move from my place. I hold no fear for my brother. I have no desire to fight with him and no desire to kill him, though if he gives me a reason, I will do what I need to. A heavy sigh escapes my lips and I glance down at Maggie, who slowly moves from my grip and stands at my side. However, I decide to remain seated.“Abe. What brings you here? Coming to kill me again?” I raise a brow and bring my elbow to my knees, leaning forward slightly.Abe chuckles and steps out into the lamplight that illuminates the broken driveway.“Brother, if I wanted to kill you…”“I would already be dead?” I raise a brow and dawn a ghost of a grin. Still the same as Abe. Way too confident for his own good. “What more do you have to prove? You have the title you have always wanted. I stayed away. You came to me, you and your men shot my ma

*Maggie*Axel sits motionless in front of me and Billy trying to wrap his head around our crazy stories. I started with the moment I left Axel’s side. Billy and Axel sat in awe while I told them how hard it was to leave him, explaining finding Jacob, Declan, Rosie, Abigail, Bea, and Jasper in the woods. And how willing they were to help and follow me. Axel was especially not happy about me trying to take on Abraham’s pack or that I had been in his old home.I explained how Madelyn had helped us and how I pissed Jacob off by storming the dungeon the moment I realized the Freakshow was down there. But in the stoic face, I could see the pride and I took it as a good sign. He had no questions for me as he just sat and listened. Billy tossed in a few things here and there as we regaled him on our heroic journey to save him. I explained how I went willingly with Liam, and that I was beaten up because we had no choice, so I sparred with Liam

*Axel* It has been way too long since I have had a good night’s sleep, and waking up next to Maggie is the icing on the cake. I could feel her tossing and turning for the first part of the night, but once she settled in, I was able to fall into a deep sleep. What Billy said about the man setting fire to the tents has to have bothered her. I don’t see how it couldn’t. That night had been a rollercoaster of emotions for the two of us. Her falling, combined with her injury, had been enough to set me over the edge until her tears came. The tears that completely unraveled me. I would have done anything to stop those tears and the ache I saw behind them. I loved her before that moment, but I fell for her right then. It was the most real she had ever been with me, and in turn, I told her my secret. The same night, we sealed our mate bond. I reach out and stroke her soft cheek with the back of my knuckle, memorizing every line of her stun

*Maggie*It’s crazy to think that only three weeks ago we fought the largest fight in our entire lives. Axel had never gone up against such foes, nor had any of us. Alpha Wade had even made mention that this was easily the craziest scenario he had ever come across, and the man was plotted against and almost killed in his own home by a committee member. So we don’t take his words on the matter lightly.Just as Alpha Wade had promised, they provided us with our own pack lands. Thankfully, it already had some houses and lots of land to spare for the building of more and potentially a small city area if we wanted. Axel and I have learned so many lessons since finding each other. Ironically, the most important one for me was trusting. Axel likes to put up a front and pretend he is jaded, and he has every reason to be, but I know better. He is the quickest of us to trust. Though that could be because his ultima powers help him with discernm

*Axel* “How has everything been so far?” Wade asks as we enter my makeshift office. The room is basic, with bookshelves lining the walls behind the desk, a large window facing the pines to my right, and beige carpet that match the tan walls. It’s not anything special, but it’s enough for me. I’ve never in my life had a real office before. I had a small desk overrun with papers at all times in my large circus tent, but it hardly could be used for more than writing down expenses or searching places to go. I've never had formal meetings before meeting Wade, I never had a reason to. My Freakshow pack was intimate and we are a family. If we wanted something we spoke our mind and asked there was never a need until now. “Great,” I answer honestly. “We had a whole haul of construction equipment, workers and materials sho
