Chapter 58 - Isis
The plan was relatively simple and certainly straightforward. We would be using a pincer attack to best contain the Syndicate members.
One point that I stressed during the planning is that we are not looking to hurt the Syndicate members and certainly not kill them. After all, we are hoping when this is over, those still loyal to the Silverclaw pack and the Argyris Alpha bloodline will accept Kurt and follow him. And if we attack and start hurting or, worse, killing people, they will resent us.
Alpha Logan was in agreement so long as that didn’t include Wade and Noya. I couldn’t find fault with that. After all, even I’m itching to kill Noya. Not just for her disgusting plans for my mate but for how she’s been treating that innocent child.
And I’m sure there are members of the Syndicate that have no ties or loyalty to the Silverclaw pack and the Argyris line. They were true rogues taken in by Seigfried. So if they choose to figh

I’m not as worried about Dani being in this fight as I am about Khalid being in the conflict. He’s the human walking into this fight. To me, that makes him a liability. He gets injured or captured and becomes a distraction not just for his mate but also for mine. Isis and I need to be entirely focused on the task today. We are here to get my sister and, with luck, the scepter. And if the Moon Goddess is looking to be extra generous, we can make the world a better place by removing Noya and Wade from it.I was curious that Caleb and Mariana were here waiting with Byron. I thought it was rather clear from our meeting tha Caleb didn’t want more than Bryon getting involved and he was only supposed to identify where the magic was used and leave. Them coming wasn’t part of the deal.“Caleb? What’s going on, man? Thought it was going to just be Byron. Did something come up?” I asked as we approached the trio of vampires.“Hey, Kurt.” Caleb greeted with a smile offering his hand in greeting.

So far, our strategy has been working. The other teams are drawing the fighting force away from us. And now we have the name of Kurt’s sister and directions to the house she is being held.However, it was odd that they didn’t know Talia was Siegfried’s child. As the daughter of the Alpha, wouldn’t she have been treated as their Princess? The way Hana is the Princess of Bloodmoon and Katrina was the Princess of Incubi?“Why wouldn’t they know Talia is Siegfried’s daughter?” I questioned because it was really starting to bother me.“As strange as it might sound, especially given we are talking about Seigfried. He may have kept her identity secret for her safety.” Kurt explained.“I can understand wanting to keep her safe, but why keep her identity hidden from the pack?” I furrowed my brow.“Even within a regular pack, an Alpha must be careful about the safety of their

I want to believe Talia. I want to trust she has the best intentions. That she’s not going to lead us into a trap. I truly want that. But there is a nagging voice in my head… oh wait, that’s Godric. ‘What? I know she’s just a child, and I should give her the benefit of the doubt. Yadda. But she is still a child of Siegfried, even if she didn’t know it.’ Godric defended himself. ‘I’m a child of Siegfried.’ I countered. ‘That is different. You weren’t raised in this cult because that’s exactly what the Syndicate is. Talia’s been raised with these beliefs. We can’t know how deep that goes. We need to be cautious.’ Godric sighed. ‘You worry about that. I’m going to do for my sister what the Kinsley family did for me, have faith.’ I dismissed him as I followed Talia into an alley. ‘We have my sister. We picked up a signal on the scepter, and my sister is leading us into the underground tunnels. Start falling back.’ I called out through the pack link to everyone who came with us. ‘Are

‘I don’t like this.’ Bastet growled.I could feel how tense she was. Though she’s been that way since we got Talia out of the basement. It’s only become worse from there.I considered ignoring her. But I shouldn’t. She’s my wolf and can probably pick up things I can’t. So I have to trust her.‘Which part? You haven’t liked anything since the moment I took Talia’s hand to get her out of the basement.’ I questioned nervously, watching Kurt walk up to the door.‘All of it. Something feels off about the girl. And this whole tunnel system, especially that door, is giving me bad vibes. Something evil is in there.’ Bastet growled.I frowned, glancing at Talia and Kurt as he approached the door again. I don’t want him to get hurt, but I have to trust Kurt and Godric as much as Bastet’s senses. So I reassured Talia that Kurt would be okay even if I feared the wor

Isis had really pushed her limits, especially with Bastet being taken down because of that trap Noya laid. And then all the excitement and probably not having slept well in days must have gotten to Talia. Because by the time the van reached our apartment building, both were asleep.Isis was sleeping soundly with her head on my shoulder, while Talia had curled up using my lap as a pillow. It was so weird. Godric still doesn’t trust Talia, but I dunno something tells me whatever his hang-up is, it’s not her directly.She’s just an innocent kid who’s been screwed over by the people meant to love and protect her. And when I look at her, I realize I’d have been just like her if Alpha John Sr hadn’t taken me in and protected me. My life would have been different if I hadn’t had the Kinsley family to love and protect me.Now it’s my turn to pay that forward. I am going to make Talia’s life different. I’m

I am not awake enough for all of this. Waking up before the sun because Jonathan thought it would be amusing to put ice down Kurt’s shirt is not how I want to start my morning. I haven’t even had my coffee, and we have a full apartment ready to discuss important matters. And while I may not always share the same sentiments as Zelma and don’t generally bother with makeup, I can understand her grouchiness about being here so early. The announcement that Collin and Mary are expecting twins perked me up. I still needed my coffee to handle all of this, even more so when Jonathan brought up the live feed of the camp Syndicate, or rather Silverclaw wolves, set up at the edge of Mount Hood. I can’t believe they really gathered like that. But as Mary said, they felt the call of their Alpha. And I shouldn’t doubt her on that. After all, she knew from experience. The FireWolf pack traveled from across the world when they felt Aurelia coming of age. Unlike them, those of the Silverclaw did

We headed downstairs after we had all taken showers, gotten dressed, and had something to eat. I wasn’t surprised to find Nigel waiting by his SUV. “Good morning, Silverclaw Alpha family. Read to meet your people?” Nigel smiled, opening the rear passenger door. “Thank you for coming to pick us up, Nigel.” I smiled, climbing into the back seat with Talia. “Stop making this weirder than it already is.” Kurt rolled his eyes, taking the front seat. It was a quick enough drive to the edge of the city. Talia blinked wide-eyed as she saw all the tents. I’m sure she probably recognizes some of these people, having grown up in the Syndicate. Collin and Tanner were already there waiting with their mates as we climbed out. It was unnerving to have a sea of people looking at us, watching our every move. I glanced at Kurt, unsure what we should do or say. Kurt smiled, kissing my cheek before climbing onto the roof of Nigel’s SUV. “SYN…. SILVERCLAW PACK!” Kurt shouted, getting everyone’s atte

If this was anyone else’s wedding, I’d not be going. I don’t like leaving Mount Adams with Noya and Wade out there. And I sure the fuck don’t like leaving Talia. That’s not to say I don’t trust Collin and Tanner to run things. Or that I don’t think they, along with Khalid and Dani, can keep Dani safe. I’m also not knocking my pack. We’ve come a long way in a short time. But we still have issues, even inside the pack. While everyone is there voluntarily, we haven’t had our official ceremony, so they aren’t bound to me by a blood oath. And only half of them are Silverclaw by blood. Many of the mates have issues settling into pack life, having been rogues for their entire lives or too long to remember pack life. It all leaves me on edge as we drive to the Christian ranch. “Everything will be okay.” Isis assured me, placing her hand on my leg “I hope so. I don’t like us being so far from home. Not with Noya out there and not when we haven’t taken our formal ceremony to bind the pack.”
