“What?” I asked.
“Don’t what me! The Alphas from the other packs are showing up, and I asked you to get everything together for dinner!” she shouted.
“Oh s**t!” I slapped my forehead at my absent mind. “I’m so sorry, the twins kept us up last night, and then I had to go to training to get that thing off of my back,” I explained, referring to Wyatt’s clone since no one in the pack was supposed to be aware of it. “Dah, just go, Milan!” she pointed to the kitchen. As I was heading over there, I unexpectedly ran into Tasha, of all people.
“Tasha!?” I was surprised to see Jason’s sister.
“Hey!” she exclaimed and hugged me. “I guess I chose a great time to come home!” she said with a big smile.
“You were supposed to come back months ago!” I told her, lifting my brow at her.
“What can I say? The fashion world never stops, and my internship kept getting extended!”
“You missed the birth of your niece and nephew!”
“I’m sorry, geez,” she replied, not bothering to hide her annoyance.
“And you abandoned your mate!”
“Justin is fine,” she insisted as she swished her hand at me, excusing her choices. “Besides, we already made up, if you know what I mean,” she added while wiggling her brows. “Ew! I don’t need to know what you and your mate did!” I responded, covering my ears.
“Please, if you and my brother didn’t f**k, you wouldn’t have had pups!”
“TASHA!” I screamed at her. “I don’t have time for this. There’s an Alpha’s meeting starting in a few hours, and I need your help getting everything set up with the kitchen Omegas.” “What!? Why me!?”
“Because, in case you’ve already forgotten, you’re technically a Gamma female too! Which means my duties are your duties!”
“My mate is an Omega! My rank drops to his anyway!” she defended.
“Not when it comes to pack duties!” I argued and grabbed her arm. “Come on!” I dragged her away with me with her whining behind me.
Even though we had to scramble to get everything finished on time, we were able to get it done with teamwork. Tasha was bitching nonstop like she always did when it came to pack work and duties, but she finished all of her tasks. Dinner was served, and I was the most uncomfortable being around all of these fake Alphas, their sons, and Betas. I looked over at Jason, and I could tell he wasn’t happy with all of this either, mostly because we had to leave our pups with their nannies at their tables because we couldn’t lead on that we had kids to Wyatt’s clone. It would cause major issues. I couldn’t believe we had to babysit the clone on top of everything else.
“I f*****g hate this,” I whispered to Jason.
“I know, baby, but we have to maintain appearances until this is all over,” he replied.
“If my babies forget me, there’s going to be hell to pay, Jace.”
“Milan, it’s only been half a day. Calm down. The only thing they remember is eating and pooping.” I elbowed him in the ribs, making him grunt and earning me a death glare.
“Unless you want to sleep in the guestroom, I suggest you turn your eyes elsewhere, Jason Lexington,” I growled. He glared again but only for a second before turning back to his food. Just as I was taking a piece of meat from my plate, Rylee gasped, and her eyes started to glow.
“Rylee?” Wyatt looked at her. As soon as her eyes turned back their chocolate brown, she looked terrified.
“GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS!!!” she screamed. As soon as she did, all of the windows in the dining room shattered. Jason knocked me down to cover me, and I could see in my peripherals that pack members and guests alike were jumping over chairs, leaping over tables and over other individuals trying to hit the floor. From underneath the table, I could see people be lifted into the air by what looked like…
“Are those tornados!?” I shouted at Jason. “Oh my god! The kids!” We both got to our feet and raced over to where our nannies were. Thankfully, both of our parents had made it to them first.
“Get them to the bunker!” Jason quickly instructed them. “Milan, go with them!” I nodded my head and made sure to help other pack members along the way to the bunkers. I had to make sure I steered everyone clear of the wind cyclones that were destroying the inside of the castle. People were running all over, panicking. Suddenly, the front and back doors flew open as more tornadoes made their way through the living area. People left and right within the path of the twisters were being flailed across the room. “Go! Everyone go towards the bunkers!” I shouted as the wind carried my voice.
“MILAN!!!” I heard a familiar voice.
“MELODY!!!” I shouted back as she ran towards me, but she was swept up by a twister. “MELODY!!!” The twister went out the backdoor and kept getting further and further away. “What the f**k!?” I looked around and could see Michelle and Tasha also trying to lead pack members to safety. I figured that they had it under control, and my kids were safe in the bunkers already, so I went after the twister that picked up Melody. “Milan! Where are you going!?” Kendrick shouted at me as I passed him.
“Melody!” was all I said as I pointed to the tornado that was carrying her. I didn’t need to say anything else. We both shifted and ran after it. It was faster than we expected, and that’s when we knew something definitely wasn’t right.
Milan! This isn’t normal!
No f*****g s**t, Kendrick!
Dark magic!?
It has to be!
Patterson!?
Who else!?
We ran after the twister, and we could hear Melody screaming for us. She could see us through the funnel from within the heart of it, and that was another dead giveaway that this was dark magic.
“Kendrick!” Melody shouted for him but it sounded slightly muffled. I looked closer and saw that she was in some kind of bubble. It was a cage of some sort.
Milan, go back to the packhouse! I’m going to keep following her!
No!
THAT’S AN ORDER, MILAN!
Dammit, Kendrick! I ground to halt. He just had to use rank on me. I grumbled in frustration and had Ivory take us back to the castle. I hadn’t even realized how far we had gone to follow Melody. As I was running back, I could see several other twisters going in the same direction as the one carrying Melody. That was when I noticed one carrying a blonde in a pale yellow top and black leggings.
Ivory isn’t that what Rylee was wearing!?
