Filed to story: Fated To The Alpha Novel (Alpha Ezra & Katya) >>
“They killed our entire Pack Luna, even strung our new Luna up, they killed our families and the children. How do you expect us to calm down, we want revenge and we need your men so we can’t retaliate?” snaps one of them before Mateo’s voice flits through my head.
“Kat?” He asks, yet I was more focused on the fact that they just said Angie was dead. I swallowed down my emotions and it was the pill to swallow as it threatened to choke me at learning that information.
“Nobody is going or doing anything until Ezra and Andrei get here and there is a plan, I will not put my own pack members at risk by running blindly fuelled on anger, everyone needs to their heads and calm down until the Alpha’s get here, now if everyone would kindly step outside before you cause more damage we will organise sleeping arrangements and organise everyone into the empty houses and pack rooms” I tell them forcing my aura over them, I hated using it but with the way they are someone was going to get hurt when more fights broke out.
They file out, standing out the front of the packhouse. I continue down the steps and walk over to
Mateo.
“Where are Ezra and Andrei?”
“Ezra is trying to locate Andrei after he took off, I was going to wake you but”
“Save it Mateo, I am pissed off enough but right now we need everyone to be calmed down before they do something reckless, how many people can the packhouse house?”
“50 at most, I have people setting up bunk beds in all the spare rooms, we have g houses also being set up”
“How many are here from Andrei’s pack?”
“There is 114 people left” He says and my face snaps toward him. 114* That was all that was left?
Andrei had the 2nd largest pack.
“Does Angie’s family know?” I ask him, looking out at everyone standing around talking. I could still remember her voice on the phone, her crying to come home and now she was coming home in a body bag. She was one of my only friends here besides Jasmine, and my brother’s mate.
“Kat?” Mateo says softly and I feel my eyes burning with unshed tears. His hand touches my arm but I jerk away. I cannot break, not in front of all these people it would cause chaos again if the Luna of our pack suddenly lost control.
“Please don’t touch me okay, just don’t. Not right now” I tell him knowing if he does I will just want to crawl into my arms and cry. That wouldn’t help anyone.
“Where is my father?” I ask Mateo.
“Helping Ezra find him, he was here helping but when he heard about Angie he went to go help ” I nod,
I was going to ask him anyway so I am glad that some fatherly instinct kicked in and he went to go find his son.
“Okay let’s deal with this for now and get everyone housed and fed while we wait for Ezra and Andrei to return, I want to speak to the neighbouring pack Alpha’s too” I tell Mateo.
“Why, they can’t help?”
“No too late for Andrei’s Pack, but Jackson wiped out an entire pack nearly full of elderly and even children, no pack will take that lightly especially with what they did to the pack Luna, Jackson wants to go to war, he will get one. I know the other packs will come for this”
“They will but Kat, you do this every pack will know you are a Gemini wolf, they will be able to tell just by looking at you”
“This war started because of my family, Jackson killed all these packs families, and for what?”
“Ezra said to warn the other packs to not get involved” I nod to him.
“What about those that don’t come?” He asks.
“We won’t force them, they don’t have to, especially the smaller packs but I doubt any would turn
Andrei and Ezra down anyway. Jackson has made a lot of enemies over the years but every pack has always agreed there is one thing you don’t do, that the children of the packs are off limits, Jackson breached that with Anthony, he now breached it again but this time everyone knows about it, they will come”
“You can speak to the Alphas, I have their info inside but nothing gets planned until Ezra and Andrei are here”
“I’m not stupid Mateo, this has gone on far too long now, we never should have waited. Ezra and
Andrei can plan it but at least every Alpha will have time to get here. Then we just need to think about how to get the mothers and children separate from the pack once we get in there, it shouldn’t be a problem though, once we step over Jackson has bunkers for those that won’t be in the war, those bunkers need to be off limits we just need to make sure Andrei’s pack understand that”
“Yes, Jackson will be ready for us when we come,”
Mateo says.
“Jackson was always big on evacuation there are three bunkers, one under the schools and two under community center in town”
“Andrei will want blood Kat, from what Ezra has been saying he has gone off the deep end”
“That may be so, but if we k!ll children like Jackson we are just as bad as him, they are innocent in this.
We are not monsters death will come but only to those that deserve it”
“What about Jackson’s alliances, he still has 2 packs that may stand with him”
“They get involved and back him they can die with him too” I tell him. Mateo nods.
“Okay let’s organise everyone” He says before whistling loudly grabbing everyone’s attention.
Ezra POV
Derrick and I had been running through these woods for hours now, it was getting dark and still no sign of him. Derrick was almost frantic, even though he wasn’t a part of Andrei’s life I could tell he did love him in his own way. So he should, Andrei is his son.
Stopping, we had just run the entire border once again and through the mountains. Heading back to town, we saw fire burning in the distance that wasn’t visible from the gully we just came out of.
“That’s the packhouse” Derrick says as we look down at the town.
“He must have gone back, come on, lets see if we can get him” I tell Derrick and he nods. Shifting back as we approach the town centre and the park. I see Andrei standing out the front of the packhouse, his back to us as he watches his home burn. The smell of fuel was heavy in the air and the packhouse was engulfed in flames.
“Andrei?” Derrick says approaching him, I hold my breath not knowing how Andrei would handle having his estranged father here though when I catch sight of his eyes I realise Donnie Andrei’s wolf was in control again as he looks his father up and down.
“Son” Derrick says, placing his hand on Andrei’s shoulder. I half expected him to lose his hand for touching him, Andrei wasn’t one for physical contact the only person I had seen him even touch affectionately besides Angie was Kat. Andrei’s eyes flicker, his wolf receding.
“Dad?” Andrei croaks out.
“Right here” Derrick tells him and something inside him breaks. I had never seen him cry but Derrick broke him the moment he touched him. Maybe he didn’t hate his father as much as he thought, he did because the giant bear of a man folded. His legs collapsed out from under as his entire body racked with sobs. Derrick grabbed him going to the ground with him trying to console his son.
“I know buddy, I know” Derrick tells him softly, and nobody knew better than Derrick what it felt like to lose a mate, he didn’t lose one but two.
