“Check every individual packet and get it to Seven X. Open the market for our buyers a week from now,” I command, turning around. Those who that was directed at know the location of that site. The less who know where I am keeping it, the better.
“Understood. We’ve already begun getting everything in place,” Snider, one of my human Lieutenants, speaks.
“Perfect,” I reply, about to say something else when I suddenly feel a wave of unease wash through me. Something is wrong. I look up sharply scanning the place, but it is completely secure. Only a few I trust are in here and it is heavy with security.
Check if this place is secure, I command through the link. A few minutes later, they tell me all is fine. What is this feeling?
“Everything okay, boss?” Snider asks.
“Get them to Seven X now via separate routes as planned,” I say, pocketing the packet I had opened.
“Understood!” He moves away, and I take my phone out. Nophones work in here and I’m not about to lower my defences. Is something wrong at home? Azura comes to my mind and that unease grows.
Noir, call Emmet, I command one of the men who is standing guard outside.
Yes, boss.
After a moment, he says,
He isn’t answering, Alpha.
Fine.
I frown. That feeling isn’t going away, and I wonder if something has happened to her. Has that bastard found a way into the pack?
“I’m leaving. Take care of the rest,” I tell the Six before I walk past them.
As much as I want to oversee this myself, I have to go back. I need to make sure she is fucking okay. Stepping out into the underground carpark, I get into my car, commanding my driver to get moving and close the screen between us so he can’t overhear before ringing Eric.
“Hey, Alpha.”
“Where are you?” I ask coldly.
“I, uh, was just at Emmet’s floor and am heading down now. Everything okay?” He sounds tense.
“How about you answer that?”
He sighs, “Emmet told you?”
“Emmet didn’t even answer my call. What the fuck is going on?”
“He and Azura, the visitor, got into a physical fight.”
Fight. A flash of anger ripples through me, and my eyes blaze steel blue.
Drive faster, I growl to the driver through the link.
“Details.” My voice is calm, but anger is pulsating through me.
“I don’t know the details, but Emmet said she insulted you and this pack. It got physical, and she did a number on his facewhilst he also landed a few on her. They are both pretty bruised up… but he shouldn’t have hit her.” His voice is quiet in that last sentence. No, he fucking shouldn’t have.
My eyes blaze, my heart is thundering, and the anger that is raging through me is blinding. Bruised up.
“Alpha?” I swallow hard, ending the call.
“Stop the car.” He instantly brakes, and I get out just as he opens his door quickly.
“Boss, is everything okay?”
I don’t reply, getting into the driver’s seat and slamming the door shut behind me, I start the car, hitting the gas as I pick up speed.
He shouldn’t have touched her. I don’t give a fuck what she said, she is there under my fucking protection. My head is fucking pounding with uncontrollable rage that I am trying to control so I don’t end up fucking ripping the steering wheel right off, trying to comprehend what Eric had said.
Azura isn’t the type to insult our pack. She’s never looked down on us or me for that matter. Sure, she’s lost her temper, but that was if she was triggered, which means Emmet must have said something. His hatred for the Elite is not something I am fucking blind to. He is one of the few who understands my hatred… but if that is the case, it means he must have found out exactly who Azura is.
I am driving this thing as fast as it will fucking go, a blur in comparison to everything around me.
Tell me exactly what happened, I command Eric the moment I am in range.
Sure, I found them around the side of the apartment block when Azura was on top of him ready to punch him and I broke them apart… he begins to explain.
It takes me less than half an hour to get back, half the time it should have fucking taken. Getting out, I head upstairs and intomy office, pulling my jacket off.
She…
She what? I ask coldly.
She then said he hurt Jackie and wanted her to tell me the truth. He sounds tense and his words surprise me, too. Emmet hurting Jackie? Sure, he has a temper, but he wouldn’t hurt her…
Continue.
I know he doesn’t want to speak up as he and Emmet have enough issues between them, never seeing eye to eye. Although both had tried for the Delta position, I gave it to Emmet… but even then, I found myself asking Eric to deal with a lot more. It should have been Eric. He had been more Delta material, but it was Emmet I ultimately wanted closer to Marcel, and when he had needed a new Delta when his last one retired, I suggested Emmet.
Well, Jackie denied it, and when I was leaving, I just saw Jackie take Emmet inside and say goodbye to Azura before shutting the door, he briefs me as I head out of the office, tossing my jacket onto the sofa. I pause, furrowing my brows.
