I explained, “You are under arrest because it’s been far too long since you had sex with your mate, Alpha Chase. She’s pregnant and horny. She’s had to handle things all on her own.” Chase ripped the bottom of my outfit growling.
He ground out, “Maybe I can convince you not to arrest me.” I smiled, “I suppose it is innocent until proven guilty. Let’s hear your argument.” Chase slammed his lips onto mine. I smiled. Damned if Haley Conners didn’t just give me great advice to get laid again.
The Soul Eater
Chase stalked outside after Lexi fell asleep. Her whimpers of terror were pounding in my ears. I growled at Matt demanding to know, “What have they said?” Matt answered, “That they aren’t going to say anything.” I punched the one closest to me. I informed him, “You’ll tell me every god damn thing I want to know.”
I turned and gave orders, “I need someone to send to Alpha Lucas, Alpha Kyle, Alpha Tucker, Alpha McDermont, both of them, and Alpha Theo with a message. Sophia already knows thankfully. The rest need to be apprised of the situation in person.”
Oscar offered, “I can pop to them and explain.” I said, “I appreciate that, but the Alpha’s don’t know you yet.” Someone spoke from behind me, “I can go with Oscar. I know all those Alpha’s. I can explain we were attacked with the intent to kidnap two Luna’s. People are saying….” He trailed off then said, “Well, people are saying someone is threatening your unborn pup. The little girl.”
I admitted, “Yes, they are. Thank you for offering to go, Percy. Let our allies know to be on alert. An attempt to take my Luna and Cameron’s was just thwarted. Noah is unstable enough he could go after my allies Luna’s. I need them on alert, and we will be having meetings about how to protect my daughter.”
Matt chimed in, “Your son too.” I turned stating the obvious, “Emmett wasn’t threatened.” Haley said, “The fucking Troll and his psychopathic partner aren’t going to like any proof their plan didn’t work. Emmett will be proof that Lexi is yours.” I growled.
Ted and Sally flashed in. Sally cautiously said, “That’s true. Hanson might ignore Emmett, but Noah won’t. A son would upset him more than your daughter does anyway. He always wanted a son.” I growled again and picked up one of the rogues that surrendered. He was shaking like a leaf.
I snarled, “If you don’t want to be tortured within AN INCH OF YOUR LIFE you tell me right now what your plan of attack was. If you don’t tell me in the next ten seconds, I’ll string you up by your damn toes on that tree.” I pointed to the one I intended to use.
Then added, “I’ll cut you up with my claws, beat you, and crack every rib in your body. I won’t let you die until you tell me everything I want to know. Haley over there can heal you so you don’t die. I’m sorry. Where are my manners? You’d call her Princess Luna Conners. So, what’s your choice?” The guy didn’t speak.
Alpha Eric linked me, “Haley said she can use her truth seeking ability whenever you want her to. She understands there’s some aggression you need to work out. I tilted my head back to him in acknowledgement. I said out loud, “Five seconds left.”
The rogue sputtered, “I…. we were just paid to attack your brother to distract you. We were going to get ten percent of the ransom money from kidnapping Luna Reagan. That’s it man! That’s all I know! Let me go, please. I told you what I know.” I laughed humorlessly, “I didn’t say I’d let you go.”
I called over my shoulder, “Haley is he telling the truth?” Haley popped beside me. The rogue startled and looked at her. She questioned him, “What do you know about the plans to attack Alpha Cameron and Alpha Chase?”
The rogue answered, “We were going to get a cut of the ransom just to be the distraction. They said Alpha Chase wouldn’t get there in time to save her. We’d be long gone, and Alpha Cameron was supposed to be with him. There was some note he’d come to Alpha Chase for. They said they’d be busy, but we didn’t know Alpha Chase’s pack was being attacked too.”
I growled, “HOW THE FUCK ELSE WOULD I HAVE BEEN TOO DAMN BUSY TO HELP MY FUCKING BROTHER? MORON! CAMERON, KILL HIM!” Cameron was at my side in a second. He snapped the guy’s neck quickly.
Cameron said, “For the record, I’m still pissed the fuck off.” I retorted, “For the record, you got to kill him because he went after Reagan.” Cameron growled. I spoke to the rest of those we captured, “Let that show you your choices. You talk to me, and you get a quick death. As you just saw, Haley can MAKE you tell me the damn truth. You lie to me or stall I’ll torture you all damn night.” They looked petrified.
I added, “Hell, I’ll torture you until you tell me the truth. I don’t give a shit if that takes YEARS! Which one of you sick bastards knows the plan for my mate? If ANY of you know what they want my daughter for….” I let that trail off. I wouldn’t kill them quickly if they did. My anger felt like it was searing through my body. I turned away from the group of prisoners trying to collect myself.
Sally screamed, “CHASE, LOOKOUT!” I whirled as I felt arms around me that popped me away. The arms around me left so quickly it was like someone had been burned by touching me. I was now standing behind the group. Matt had a warlock by the throat.
I noticed a knife was stuck in the tree I’d been standing in front of. I turned, “Thanks Haley….” I trailed off taking in her facial expression. Alpha Eric was beside me in seconds. He said, “Angel….” Haley gritted out, “Just…. give me... a minute…” I frowned. I linked him, “She’s very pale.”
A portal opened and Prince Bjourn and Prince Marcus stepped through. Heath and Allie came through after them. She was wearing his t-shirt, and she had sex hair. Heath was throwing on a different shirt and his shorts were on backwards.
Heath asked, “Where is my sister?” I answered, “Sleeping inside. I called you.” Heath replied, “Yeah, I know. I need to give you my other number. Kitten, why don’t you go find Lexi? You can sleep in their room with her. I’ll come get you when we're done.” He called her kitten? Allie nodded and kissed his cheek, then she flashed away.
Bjourn asked, “Little one?” I turned back to face Haley. She didn’t answer him. Instead, she popped away. Alpha Eric growled. I questioned, “What just happened?” Prince Marcus said, “I think that’s our line, Alpha Chase.”
Alpha Eric ordered, “Jackson, explain.” Alpha Eric took off inside. We all looked at each other confused. Alpha Jackson sighed, “She doesn’t do well when men touch her. She’s getting better though.” Prince Bjourn spoke in a threatening tone, “Who fucking touched her?” We heard Haley throwing up and felt like complete shit.
I answered, “She basically jumped on me to pop me out of the way of a knife.Shetouchedme. I meant her no harm whatsoever.” Ted defended me, “It wasn’t his fault, he literally didn’t even see it coming.” Prince Marcus questioned, “They weren’t searched for weapons?” That was a valid question. Matt answered, “They were. It was hidden by magic.”
A pop sounded, “Hello again, Alpha Chase.” I turned greeting, “Exsis, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to be here. Alpha Eric is here.” Alpha Jackson growled at Exsis. Heath said, “He’s the Hood liaison and he’s on call right now. I told him to come. I’ll use every weapon in my arsenal to defend my sister. That includes Exsis. So the wolves should get over that.” I did not have time for this argument.
Exsis was studying the knife stuck in the tree with open interest. He asked, “Where did this come from?” I answered confused, “The warlock in my Beta’s hands.” Exsis questioned, “Who did he try to kill with it?” I answered, “Me.”
Exsis tilted his head, “You? Really? I would’ve guess the Princesses consort. How did you get out of the path of this knife? It’s practically impossible.” I rubbed my face, “What? I was popped out of the way.” Exsis smiled, “Then the Princess is here with her wolf. She’d be one of the few powerful enough to get you out of the way. Where is she? I’d love to say hi.”
Alpha Jackson growled again. Prince Bjourn said, “Talk fast fairy and explain about the stupid knife or I’ll kill you.” Exsis laughed, “King Aiden did say that’s a common threat from the Princesses other family. He’s always right.”
Alpha Jackson said, “Since that didn’t seem to faze you allowed me to make the threat again. I have yet to tell a fairy I’ll kill them and not follow through. Tell me what my sister-in-law knew. Why couldn’t she have called the wind? Tackled him? Why couldn’t she have just healed Alpha Chase after he got hit? She popped him out of the way instead of healing him. Now she’s violently ill, throwing up in Alpha Chase’s home as a result of touching him. She hates being touched by men outside her family and my brother.”
