My wolf wanted to kill her for trying to harm my mate and me, but my human side wanted to forgive her.
“You do have a chance of redemption if you tell me everything you know about this Taylor and his friends. Where do they live? What do they do?”
“They are mostly rogues, from other packs. I do not know much about them, but I overheard them saying that they have some woman helping them. She has promised to make them powerful enough to take on all the packs if they cooperate. They are making an army of wolves or something like that to take on all the packs.”
I furrowed my brows.
“What woman? Do you know her name? Anything?”
She shook her head in a no.
“Can you tell me more about his friends?”
“Taylor used to go around with these bikers. They called themselves something like Flying wolves.”
I smiled.
“Thank you, Meg, you have been a big help.”
Lucian’s POV –
I was having a hard time focusing on the board meeting, which had been going on for hours.
I had many things running through my mind. It looked like the rouge attacks, the attempts on Alice, there were all somehow linked. The rouges have always been a problem for packs, but they are usually kept under check. But nowadays, they seemed to have gotten stronger.
“Alpha, there is urgent news,” Damon whispered in my ears.
I nodded and dismissed the pointless meeting. I would simply convey my decision later. That is how things typically worked. Meetings were just an illusion for the investors to make them think that they participated in the decision-making.
“Tell me,” I commanded as soon as everyone had dispersed.
“Last night there was an attack on the Silver stone pack…it was bad. They took away most of the females. The pack has been slaughtered and… they killed the Alpha.” Damon said with a sombre face.
My blood chilled! Attacks were normal but destroying an entire pack! This was something that rarely occurred. Not at this age at least. Most of the packs had upgraded to modern technology and surveillance, hence managing the rouges was easier. Silver stone was one of the smallest and most primitive packs. Its Alpha shunned technology, relied on their wolf strength than the modern weapons. They rarely ventured out of their pack grounds. Some of their youngsters had never seen a human city or interacted with humans.
They were so aloof that their Alpha rarely attended the Alpha meets. It was not surprising that it fell to the more sophisticated rouges.
“Shit! We must leave for their land and salvage what can be saved. Let me call for an emergency Alpha meet.”
The next hour was spent talking and coordinating with other Alphas. I called Alice to inform her about the proceedings.
“That’s so terrible, Lucian, what will happen to the survivors?”
“They will be taken in by the other packs, I am going to check on them and see what I can do to help. Please prepare the betas and the packhouse for these people. I am not certain how many of them I would be bringing. Could be 50-100 anything.”
“Don’t worry, love, I will accommodate all of them.” She assured me.
“And the compound will be in lockdown until I am back. All security protocols have to be observed, which means you need to stay put and obey me.” I warned.
There was a pause.
“I won’t disobey you, I promise, Love you, Lucian. Please take care……..” She replied.
I smiled.
“Love you too, Alice,” I replied.
“One more thing, I got out some information about the rogues from Meg, we need
to compare notes when you are back.” She spoke.
“Sure, we will.”
***************
I reached the Silver stone pack around late evening. The smell of blood and death was overpowering. Both my brother in laws Daniel and Rick were already they’re trying to access the situation.
“They were after the females. Younger and unmated.” Rick said grimly.
“I can see that, what about the others?” I asked.
“We found some women and children hidden in one of the basements. They missed that basement somehow. A few injured men. That’s all.”
Their packhouse was built in an older style. The entire pack lived in one building with several flats.
The survivors were scared, and they assumed that we were here to capture them.
It took a while to calm them down.
A large grey wolf, probably a beta, was zealously guarding a 5-year-old girl
among the kids. He bared his teeth when we approached.
“He is not letting us through,” Damon said in frustration.
“Hello there, I am the Alpha of Crimson shadow pack, we are here to help you.
Please don’t be afraid.” I said as gently as I could.
The wolf seemed to relax a little, but then the little girl whimpered, and it bared its teeth again.
“I know you have been attacked, and your Alpha is dead. I am taking over your pack, submit to me.” I commanded.
The wolf seemed to stare at me, then bowed its head.
“Shift,” I commanded.
He shifted into a burly, red-haired man. He was tall with sun-kissed skin. He seemed to be about 45, though still young in appearance.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“I am Dallas,” he said sorrowfully.
“Please end my life, I don’t deserve to live.”
“And why is that?” I asked.
“I couldn’t save my Alpha and my pack. I don’t deserve to live.”
“No, Uncle Dallas, you can’t die,” the little girl held his leg and cried.
It was a pitiful sight.
