Page 55 of Alpha's Revenge Luna
“Alpha Callum did?”I ask her.
“That is what the council has been saying, but I think it’s more than that.He had his daughter back and there was no reason for him to return, but when the council went out to speak with Alpha Farren, he was found dead alongside his Beta and mother,” she tells me.
“Alpha Farren is dead?”I ask, shocked.He was one of the packs we were in alliance with, also the pack that helped us track down the rogues responsible for attacking my pack when we found out they were ordered by Alpha Micheal.
“Now that is odd,” I state and it makes no sense as to why Callum would go back there having retrieved his daughter already.
“Yep, well, Alpha Callum’s pack is under investigation because apparently once he retrieved his daughter back, the second attack was without cause,” Amanda tells me.
“Or maybe Alpha Callum killed him when he got hisdaughter back,” Kyrio offers, which is a good point, but Amanda shakes her head.
“No, it was after Callum and his men left.Farren is the one who put in a complaint to the council that Callum was breaking pack laws and demanded the council force Callum to bring his daughter back.”
“Well, if you hear anything more, let us know.We’ve been black marked by the council now, so chances are the next lot of rumors will be about our pack,” I tell her.
“There are already plenty of those going around, but most are just relieved they don’t have to worry about Alpha Michael lingering around their borders anymore,” she tells me, which is true.
Everyone knew who he was and what he traded in, but without proof and him having the council in his pocket, nothing could be done.I sigh heavily, glancing in the back of the truck making sure Emery isn’t eavesdropping when I notice she is gone.Ripping the rear door open, I find her bags, but she is gone.I could have sworn I saw her climb into the truck.
“Where is Emery?”I ask, looking at Kyrio who curses before jumping off the back of the truck bed.With a growl, I race back toward the store and rip open the door.Her scent instantly hits me, and I peer around to see her bend down and grab the last box.Relief hits me and I move toward her and take the last box from her.
“I thought I told you to stay in the car?”I tell her just as the bell sounds and Amanda walks in.“I wanted to help,” she says, and I watch her for a second, noticing the underlying smell of fear to her scent.
“Ah, you found her,” Amanda says, looking just as relieved.“Stressing for nothing,” she adds, swatting my arm.
“Thanks for your help,” Emery tells her.
Amanda moves toward her register.“Any time, dear.”
Emery quickly leaves, Kyrio is quick to grab her the moment she steps out the door and marches her back to the truck.
“Thanks again, Amanda,” I call out to her, and she wavesto me.“I’ll let you know if I hear anything,” she tells me, and I push the door open.
“I could have sworn I put this on charge,” she says, making me stop, I peer back at her to see her holding the store phone.She shakes her head, and I raise an eyebrow at her.“Oh, it’s nothing, the phone was dying.I thought I put it back on the dock.Seems I need another coffee,” she laughs, walking out the back.
Walking back to the truck, I pass the last box to Kyrio before helping him secure the load.Once that is done, I climb back in the truck, only this time in the front while Emery sits in the back.
The drive back home is longer than expected, having to stop by a few places.On the last stretch, though, Emery falls asleep in the back, and I turn to Kyrio.
“Don’t suppose Doc has got her blood test results back?”I ask him.
“He hasn’t mentioned it, but I will ask when we arrive home.Are you worried because she never shifted?”Kyrio asks me, and I nod slowly, keeping my gaze out the window.My wolf wants to mate and mark her, however, doing so before she shifts will probably kill her.
“Have you told her about Trinity?”he asks, and I shake my head.
“She still hates me.I know she won’t believe me, and I have no way to prove what I say is true,” I remind him when my phone buzzes indicating a message has come in. Peering down, I see it is Amanda.
‘Um did you make a call from my phone?I went to call my supplier back yet when I hit redial, it was a woman who answered?’
I peer down at the number she provided at the bottom.It isn’t one I recognize.
‘Wasn’t me, I have a mobile,’
A few seconds later she messages back just as it hits me at the same second.
‘Might have been Emery, all good was wondering who it was is all.’Amanda replies.
“What’s wrong?”Kyrio asks, nudging me as I scroll back to the number up top.
