“Well I commend her for what she did,” Milan answered while rubbing her stomach. “I may not have been at dinner because I was resting, but hearing from Jason what happened, that Alpha Martin needed to put in his place.”
“It’s Alpha Marvin, babe,” Jason corrected.
“Same f*****g difference. The fact of the matter is, he insulted our Alpha, disrespected our Luna, and insulted our pack. He had no f*****g right,” she responded.
“You guys, Elder Jonah was present, there was no need for Rylee to take it that far,” Wyatt interjected.
“Elder present or not, this is our pack, and I did what any self-respecting Luna would do. I stood up for my pack and punished the a*****e that dares insult it. I also don’t trust him in the castle. He’s bad news, and I will be damned if he and his human side-kick stay in my house!” I defended myself.
“You said it, Rylee. If I were you, I would have done the same!” Melody agreed, giving me a high five. “Hold up, did you just say human side-kick?” she immediately questioned after our high five. I looked at her with wide eyes and pressed my lips tightly together. I refocused my gaze to Wyatt, and he gave me a not so very happy look.
“Oops,” was all I could say to her.
“Dammit, Rylee.”
“Sorry, I got caught up in the heat of the moment.”
“How the f**k did a human make it onto our territory? And does he f*****g know what we are?” Melody shouted.
“He’s trying to mask his scent. To everyone else, he’s going to smell like a wolf, but I can obviously pick up on his human scent. I also know for a fact that he knows what we are, which is why I’m very skeptical about trusting this new Canadian Alpha. Nothing against those that come from Canada, but there is something off about this Alpha. I would love to read his mind, but someone won’t let me use my powers on the guests,” I said looking directly at Wyatt. Everyone else also looked at him disapprovingly. Though I understand that I abuse my powers at times, in cases like this, my powers were most relevant and could help us tremendously, but Wyatt was always so cautious now. Even more so since Elder Jonah and the other Elders were currently on the premises for the Alpha meeting. “Wyatt, maybe allowing Rylee to use her powers on Alpha Marvin would come in handy. You said so yourself that you were questioning an international Alpha coming here out of nowhere. Even if Canada is nearby, there is no reason for him to be here,” Jason suggested.
“No, we can’t. Not with the Elders in attendance. The only other Alpha who knows anything about Rylee is Richard, and I want to keep it that way,” Wyatt replied. “Jonah is here to lift the probation period as well. We can’t give him any reason to keep it in place longer than it already has been. Plus, I already told Rylee that I will have Lorenzo keep an eye on Archimedes. No one knows he has powers other than those of us in this room and a select number of pack members.”
“Fine, whatever!” I said and crossed my arms in annoyance. I wanted to keep tabs on this Marvin guy, but I promised Wyatt I would do whatever he said throughout the duration of this Alpha meeting.
“I know you’re not happy with me Tink, but if there is anything questionable, then Lorenzo will get the answers,” Wyatt said to me and I just nodded because I had no other choice.
“Okay, so now that we’re through with that, Kendrick, will you please go summon Alpha Richard to my office?” Wyatt asked. Kendrick nodded and went to go fetch him. A few minutes later, Kendrick returned, and Wyatt dismissed everyone except for me, Kendrick, and Jason.
“Wyatt, Luna, Beta, and Gamma,” Richard said while bowing his head in respect. Chad followed his lead and they both took a seat at the table in Wyatt’s office. “So, what did you need to talk to me about?” he asked.
“Richard, what we discuss in this office needs to stay in this office,” Wyatt said to him.
“Of course. I understand. This must be quite serious if you’re asking to meet with me privately along with Chad.”
“We trust Chad, so we have no issue discussing this in front of him.”
“Very well. What can I help you with?” Wyatt took the time to explain in great detail how we came upon Lexie and Lanie, and the ordeal their lives had been up until that point. Richard and Chad were not even the least bit shocked that there were traffickers in the area and that humans were involved.
This conversation took a turn in a direction that I never thought possible, but we literally went from discussing the twins and traffickers to werewolf hunters who were paid to find the supernatural and kill them. I was always under the impression that humans weren’t aware of our existence, but I guess my sheltered life of slavery really prevented me from knowing just how terrifying the real world actually is. I thought turning a child into a slave was heinous, but that seemed so minute compared to some of the s**t that Wyatt and Richard were discussing.
“Okay, so back on topic,” Richard said. “Who are these girls?”
“Their names are Lexie and Lanie, and we’ve been told that they’re of Alpha blood,” I answered him. “They just turned 18 not too long before we found them, and they’ve yet to shift into their wolf.”
“Is there a reason why they’re not shifting?” Chad asked.
“Is there a reason why they’re not shifting?” Chad asked.
“I think they’re afraid,” I answered.
“Where are they from?” Richard inquired.
“Dr. Andrews attempted to do some kind of tooth isotope analysis test, but he said that it was inconclusive,” Wyatt replied.
“Hmmm… I see. Well, this is new to me as well. I haven’t heard of any pack having suffered a kidnapping of any kind.”
“Well, we don’t think that they were kidnapped from a pack per se, but we think they have been taken from somewhere more important,” I said to him. He and Chad gave me a funny look as they tried to make sense of what I said.
“Alpha Richard, have you ever heard of the Lunar Kingdom?” Kendrick asked him directly without any hesitation.
“That story of where the higher powers come from?” We all nodded our heads. “Well, yes, but only in stories and fables. What do these young ladies have to do with a fictional kingdom?”
“Richard, we have reason to believe that the kingdom is real and that these girls are from there,” Wyatt said to him. Richard’s eyes widened, and Chad looked a little more lost than someone should be. “I know it may sound crazy, but we’ve obtained evidence from multiple sources that this is highly probable, and we need your help to keep the girls safe.”
“If this is true, then I will do what I can. If these girls are this special, then they must be protected from whoever the trafficker is at all costs.”
“It sounds like they were attempting to breed the girls and profit from it,” Chad interjected. We all nodded our heads because all of us had also come to the same conclusion.
“Wyatt, what do you need?” Richard asked.
“I need you to use your connections and resources to find the traffickers. My line of business can’t handle something like this, and according to my cousin in Las Vegas, this is bigger than we could even have anticipated. I don’t care how much it costs, we need to find these men and put a stop to this.”
“I couldn’t agree more. Let me see what I can do.”
“Thank you.”
“Of course,” Richard said. We sat in silence for a moment before he broke it again to ask a question. “Wyatt, would it be possible to meet these girls?”
“I don’t see why not, but it is up to them if they want to meet someone new. They’re still quite skittish and untrusting.”
“As they should be, given the life they endured for so long. They were lucky to have landed on your territory and not someone else’s.”
