“s**t, our car blocked!” Brent exclaimed.
“Which one is it?” I asked.
“It’s the silver Bentley in the back.”
“f**k. I guess that’s the biggest downfall being the first to arrive,” Chad said, looking at our predicament.
“Rylee, there’s plenty of room to maneuver the cars around,” William said to me.
“Why can’t we just get Olivia to teleport the car outside?” I asked.
“Rylee, teleporting a vehicle like that will attract unwanted attention. We need to drive out of here like normal,” she replied.
“Quickly Rylee, we need to move to double-time if we want to get out of here,” William said. I turned and looked at our group who looked at me like I was crazy.
“I’m sorry. I will explain everything once we are safe, but I don’t have time to do it now,” I said to them. I looked back at William and nodded. Using our super speed and strength, we began to move the cars around the garage to create a clearing for Golden Moon’s car.
“Whoa, what the f**k!?” I heard Chad and Brent shout. Once we were able to clear the way, we got everyone into the car. “Mommy, go go?” Sam asked me.
“We’re going on a car ride baby. Stay with Grandma Liv,” I told him as I handed him off and she settled him inside the car.
“We can’t all fit,” Chad said, “it’s only meant to hold four passengers.”
“Rylee, you get in with Sam. Olivia will teleport us to Golden Moon,” William instructed me. I nodded my head and traded spots with Olivia.
“Wait, do you guys know how to get there?” I asked them.
“Chad, can you point us to the front gate on a map?” William asked him. Chad pulled out his phone and marked a spot on the GPS and showed it to Olivia.
“Got it. We will make stops along the way to make sure that no one is following you,” Olivia replied. We all nodded, and Brent started the car. When we pulled up to the garage door, I got out and quickly hit the button to open it, and returned to the car. William and Olivia closed the garage door as soon as the car passed through.
We made it onto the road that led out of the territory, Alpha Marvin was busy at the meeting, and the guys were distracting the human long enough for us to escape without being noticed. Once we were out of the territory and on the main highway heading towards Golden Moon, Brent suddenly slammed on the breaks and pulled over.
“What the hell!?” we all shouted at him.
“Uhhh…” Brent just looked at us.
“What!?”
“How the hell is Richard supposed to get home?”
***Chad’s
P.O.V.***
“You sure?… Okay… yes sir, we made it back to the pack without incident … affirmative… right. See you soon.”
“We good?” Brent asked after I hung up the phone.
“Yeah, everything is good now Brent. Richard will catch a ride with Gerard, Alpha of the Night Forest Pack, as they pass through our territory,” I answered back. Once we made it back to Golden Moon, I made sure to call Richard to find out how he planned to get home without us. After Brent pulled that stunt in the car earlier, it was all I could think about. I had to bide my time and delay calling until I knew for a fact the Alpha’s meeting was adjourned; we didn’t want to disclose that we already left the territory with Lanie and Lexie in front of Alpha Marvin.
Brent and I went to Richard’s office and tried to figure out how everything would play out. Throughout the entire car ride, Lexie and Lanie mind linked each other back and forth and speaking only in the softest whispers with Luna Rylee. “Chad, what are we going to do about our mates?” Brent asked, almost rhetorically.
“I don’t know man, it doesn’t seem like either one is ready to accept us,” I began to say and saw his face falter. “However,” I started again and his face straightened, “they haven’t rejected us yet, so that’s a good thing.” He just nodded his head. The silence only lasted a few seconds before Brent started to talk again.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“I don’t know, can you?”
“Haha, very funny,” he sarcastically replied to my smart-a*s remark.
“Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood. What’s up?”
“Why me?” he asked in all seriousness.
“What do you mean ‘why you?””
“Why are you choosing me to be your Beta? There are dozens of others with far more experience and leadership skills.”
“Because you’re the only one that would never expect it.”
“Exactly! I would never because I’m not even a pure wolf. I was a human who got turned into a wolf, and not in the best conditions I might add. I’ve only been a wolf for a year or so.”
“And in that one year, you’ve become one of the strongest fighters within the pack and gained the respect of both Alpha Richard and Beta Jackson. You may not be a pureblooded werewolf, but you are pure of heart. It’s honestly a tragedy what happened to you- kidnapped and taken from your loved ones, starved and traumatized while being locked in a cage, and then ultimately having your life taken by force to satisfy someone else’s greed,” I countered, trying to encourage Brent to see beyond his own perspective. “Look, I can’t even begin to imagine what that feels like. But instead of being angry at the world or at our kind, you embraced it and led by example. A lot of the younger teen wolves look up to you. You’re strong, kind, respectful and, most of all, you’ve earned my trust. As the future Alpha of this pack, I need my second-in-command to be all of the above; if anything happens to me, I must ensure Killian has someone to guide him to be his own leader and to show him how to lead by example,” I explained to him. Brent was silent as he did his best to process all of the information being thrown his way. As he was mulling everything over, there was a knock at the door and Jackson, our current Beta, came into the office.
“Richard called me; he mentioned that he’s told you everything about being the next Alpha, congratulations,” he said to me and I nodded. “So, how do you feel?”
“Thank you, sir. Honestly, I’m honored, but also scared shitless.”
Jackson let out a hearty laugh and said “Yes, well that is to be expected. It’s not every day an Omega becomes the successor to an Alpha. Especially not one like Richard. And you,” he began to say as he sat down next to Brent, “rumor has it you will be my successor.” “Yes, Beta. That’s what Chad wants,” Brent replied.
“You’re going to a fine Beta, Brent. Chad chose well.” Brent seemed completely shocked to hear Jackson compliment him. “I know I’ve been hard on you Brent, but it was because I saw massive potential in you from the moment you arrived at Golden Moon.” “Sir?”
