“I know this hurts but I have to remove this before the fabric grows back into your body. This won’t take long for your wolf to heal so I have to move quickly.” He said as he ignored my question.
Looking up, The house was fully engulfed and part of the wall had fallen in on itself. Gunther saved my life. “Where are we?” “Just an old abandoned house that Anthony used as a safe house.” Gunther seemed annoyed that I was even asking questions. “Does Alec know where I am?” I asked as Gunther started working on my shirt.
“No. Shit is hitting the fan so I took a hunch and it paid off.” Gunther sat back and looked at me. “I need you to lean forward.” As gently as I could, I sat forward. “Is my back okay?”
“Actually, yes. You can lay back down on your back. I need to get the rest of your shirt off. I’m sorry but I have to touch you to do that.”
My eyes traveled down. Realizing that my shirt had melted into my chest and on my breast was not something I was looking forward to but he was right. “That’s fine.” I said as I allowed him to help me lay down. It actually felt better on my ribs anyway.
Sierra had refocused her energy on my legs so they weren’t hurting as much as they did. “Alpha Alec is attacking Anthony’s pack right now.” His hands pushed my breast to the side so he could peel off some of my shirt that was stuck between my breast. It almost felt like if he distracted himself, he wouldn’t be so uncomfortable. His hands were shaking but I couldn’t decide if it was nerves or if he was afraid I was going to kill him.
“Anthony is headed to a beach. He is abandoning his pack and they are taking Adalynn to raise her as their own.”
Gunther stopped working and froze. His hand was cupping my breast but his attention was now on me. “He said that?”
“Yeah. He told me he was leaving behind the responsibilities and going to relax on a beach.” I had to cough a few times but my lungs were feeling better. Sierra’s energy level was getting low but she powered on.
“If he abandoned his pack….” Gunther was working something out in his own mind.
“Gunther?” He seemed to not hear me. “GUNTHER!” I yelled. It was painful and sent me into another coughing fit.
“What?” His eyes snapped down to mine.
“Can you ponder what that means when your hand isn’t holding my boob and you are done cleaning my wounds?”
His small stature was surprising but I knew looks were deceiving. Each arm was extremely defined but the purpose of a gamma was to protect the luna and blending into a crowd was part of that.
He wasn’t walking aggressively. His hands were swinging around his side but his palms were facing up as if he was saying he wasn’t a threat. “Alpha Alec?” He asked finally as he came to the entrance of his territory.
Taking a step forward, I looked directly into his eyes. “That’s me.”
He took a minute to look behind him before he turned back to me. “I know why you are here and I can assure you, we are not the enemy.”
“Your alpha kidnapped my luna and my daughter.” I started taking a few steps towards him.
“For my alpha’s sins I will surely pay but please just listen!” He pleaded as I came up to him. Wrapping my hand around his neck, his feet left the grass.
“NO!” I heard a women scream in the distance. Looking behind him, I saw her fall to her knees in agony.
The guy tried to look behind him but I kept him facing forward. “Please! Just listen to me before you kill me!” He struggled to get the words out.
Putting him back on his feet, it took everything in me to not just snap his neck. “Better make it good.”
“Alpha Anthony left us.” He coughed as he tried to talk.
“Left you?” Colt asked as he stepped forward.noveldrama
“Yes. He denounced his ties. Alp- Anthony abandoned us. Two helicopters left for something and only one returned. The warriors that went said he kidnapped your luna and daughter. However, he took them on a different helicopter somewhere else. The plan was to bring them back here and force you to sit down to discuss a peace treaty. He knew you were bigger and we didn’t stand a chance if it came to a war but when he didn’t come back, I knew. It was only a few minutes ago that he denounced his ties to this pack.”
I was shocked. He played his own pack. He lied to his warriors about what was going to happen. “Where is my luna and daughter?” I asked, half way not caring about their alpha problem.
“I don’t know sir. However, we do not want to fight. We know we will lose and we want to preserve our lives if possible. I am out here, hoping you would consider sparing us. The entire pack, women and children included are in the large gym. We have no weapon and we ask that you grant us pardon. You can have free rein over the pack house and over Anthony’s office. The pack is lost and unsure what to do. We need an alpha but we don’t want to die for the sins of Anthony. We surrender to you and are willing to listen to your direction in exchange for our lives.”
“You don’t know where he took Kristen?”
“I don’t but like I said, you can go to his office and look at it.”
“What is your name?” Colt asked. He sounded just as confused as we were.
“Oliver.”
Grabbing his arm, I pulled him with me. “If you are lying, you will be the first to die.” I growled as we marched our way inside. “Understood.” He said with more confidence that I expected.
“Where is the gym?” Colt asked.
“To the left.”
The woman stood up. Tears ran down her face. It was clear she wanted to run to him but he must have been telling her to stop because she backed up and let us pass without issue.
The pack was a ghost town. Not a single soul was walking around. No one was in windows looking at us. The packhouse was visible on the right. I had to double look but there was a pile of guns, ammo and who knows what else in front of the steps. Almost like they deposited everything in attempt to not get killed.
