The Imperial Wolf Series Books 1-3
Chapter 52

Desire POV

I come out of the bar with a tall blonde woman for Alexander and me to share. She was easy to chat up and agreed to leave with me quickly. I will not kill her, only drain her a little, so we both have a nice snack before heading to the dog house. Damn wolves, I really cannot tolerate them. They smell funny, and they are arrogant assholes.

Alpha Erick seems okay, but he is still a hothead, just like most wolves I know. I do look forward to getting to know Kate better. She should know how much Alexander loves her and only wants the best for her. I know it is hard for her to grasp his situation when he was with her mother. Looking back now, I cannot imagine Alexander getting involved with a wolf. It seems odd to me, but he says he loved this Rainwater wolf very much and had a good relationship with her pack until he got her pregnant.

A vampire and a werewolf were having a child. The pack should have seen it for what it was, a damn miracle baby. Actually, miracle babies, to be precise. If they had helped raise the babies, then we would not be here in this predicament today. The thing about wolves, they are afraid of what they do not understand. They stick to their traditions. Those twins were not traditional.

As blondie and I walk toward the car, I hear Macon growling and Alexander screaming. Macon grabs Alexander out of my car and zips off with him before I can even make a move. I stand still, scared for a moment, waiting for him to come back for me. I am not scared of many things in this world, but Macon scares me.

"What the hell was that?" blondie asks me. I lean over and take a quick bite out of her neck. I will need my strength to get to the dog house and possibly have to fight Macon along the way. I drop blondie on the ground when I am finished. Usually, I would heal and seal the wound, but I do not have time for that. She will have to figure it out herself.

I jump into the car as patrons of the bar come out to see why petite blondie is screaming. I put the car in drive and take off like a bat out of hell to make my way toward the wolves. I much as I hate to admit, the wolves are the only ones that can help get Alexander back from Macon. Macon has to die once and for all.

I nervously make it to the wolf's territory. I pull into Alpha Erick's house. The two wolves John and Trip, are pulling in the drive as I pull in behind them. They walk around to my car. They look at the damage to the passenger side of the car and then to me. "What happened?" John asks.

"Macon, that is what happened!" I exclaim as I get out of the car and slam the door.

"Alexander? Did he take Alexander?" John asks.

"Yes, I drove straight to this dog house after Macon grabbed him right out of the car. We have to help Alexander. Where is your Alpha? I need to talk to him," I say to the wolves.

"He is with his sick wife. Alexander is not his concern," John says.

I release my fangs and hiss at John. "Let me tell you something, puppy dog. If it were not for Alpha Erick and his brat wife Kate, Alexander would be sitting on his porch watching birds, but instead, he got snatched coming to help Kate. So, yeah, it is Alpha Erick's concern, and he will help me or else," I scream at the wolves.

Alpha Erick runs out the front door and down to see what the hell is going on outside his house. He gets in front of me. "There is no need for this; tell me what happened," Alpha Erick says calmly.

Alpha Erick takes my arms, and we walk calmly into the house. The stench of wolves almost makes me sick to my stomach. When I am this upset, the scent is more potent than expected. Alpha Erick and I walk into his office. We sit down to talk. I am crying and miserable.

"Macon took Alexander. We were on our way here. We stopped to get a snack to tide us over since we did not know how long we would need to be here, and there is not exactly a food source for us here," I say, crying.

"Are you sure it was Macon? Shawn killed Macon," Alpha Erick says.

I can tell he is fishing for information. He knows what happens when you kill a hybrid in one form; they take their other form.

"You should have driven a stake through his heart too. You know that if you kill a hybrid wolf, they take their other form. How could Shawn be so stupid?" I ask Alpha Erick.

"I do not know why Shawn did not stab Macon after he killed his wolf form. I was not there. I took off with Kate trying to get away from the compound. Maybe he ran in the heat of the moment. It was a lot happening when we were trying to get out of the compound. We wanted to get out alive," Alpha Erick says.

"Unless he went there to help Macon take his true form. Have you thought about that? Maybe Shawn isn't as helpful as you think he is for your pack," I say.

"Shawn has done nothing but be helpful to the pack. I trust him," Alpha Erick says.

"You trust too many people. You have a wife and an exceptional child in this house, yet you keep all these people around, putting them in danger, and for what? Is it pride or something else? Like, I don't know Alpha, are you stupid or something?" I ask him. This infuriates Alpha Erick. He growls loudly at me. John and Trip rush into the office to see if everything is okay. Alpha Erick backs down and sits back down. "I am fine; close the door and get out," Alpha Erick screams at them.

"Listen to me; Alexander said the only way for Kate to be safe and her baby is to take her vampire form. She has to embrace it so she will have all the powers she needs to save her baby," I say.

"She will never do that," Alpha Erick says.

"She will never do that, or you will not let her. Are you afraid of having a vampire as a mate and Luna of your pack, or is it that you are stupid enough to think you can save her from the imperial wolf that guards the spiritual plane. I am sorry, Alpha, but you cannot protect her or that baby," I say to him.

I get up to leave. "Where are you going, Desire?" Alpha Erick asks.

"I am going to help Alexander. Since you do not want my help with Kate and do not want to help me with Alexander, I should leave here and handle my own business. Good luck, Alpha. You are going to need it," I say to him.

I go out of the office door. Kate is standing at the door waiting for me. "I heard everything you said. I want your help, and my husband will help you find my father. Will you help me?" Kate says.

"Yes, I will help you, but you have to do something about this puppy smell in this house. It is killing me," I say to her.
