Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 48

ALPHA JASON STONE.

I looked at the man lying unconscious in my dungeon and smirked, feeling pleaded with myself. He may be an Alpha by b***d, but Chris Baxter didn’t look so tough right now. His head was bloody from where one of my men had struck him. It wasn’t healing the way it should be due to the wolfs bane coursing through his veins. Due to his Alpha wolf, I had also had him put into a silver collar attached to the wall with a silver chain. I wasn’t taking any chances. Let’s see him try to take Amber from me now. She will be my Luna, not his. I sent a quick text from his phone letting his father know that he would be quiet for a few days. I didn’t need anyone coming looking for him. I then used it to text Amber and tell her he was leaving town. I gad thought of everything. I took a last triumphant look at him and headed upstairs to my office. I put his phone in my safe and pulled out my own. I wanted to see her. So I sent her a message of my own.

AMBER.

I had just got home from the library and had noticed a scent around my door. It was like summer rain and lilacs, but it was faint. I felt a pull in my stomach, and that headache hit me again. What is that? I let myself in and got a glass of water. I hadn’t heard from Star for a while and wondered if that was her trying to reach out.

My phone rang, and Becky’s name flashed up on the screen. I answered, expecting her usual cheery tone, but was met with something else. She sounded different today. A mix of worry and uncertainty. “There’s something I need to tell you. I’d rather not do it over the phone. Will you be home tonight?” She asked. I told her that I would, and she arranged to come over later after the restaurant closed. I wondered what it was she needed to tell me. It didn’t sound like it was good news, whatever it was.

My phone pinged, and I saw a message from Jason. He said that he missed me and wanted to know if I fancied having lunch with him. I saw that Chris had also messaged to say that he was leaving town. Huh, last night he was telling me that he loved me and wouldn’t give up on us. This morning, he was suggesting a picnic, and now he’s just gone without even a proper goodbye. I wonder what could have happened to change his mind like that. Fine, in that case, I saw no harm in having lunch with Jason. I messaged him back to accept.

ALPHA JASON STONE.

s**t!!!! I can’t f*****g trust anyone to do a job properly. For f***s sake. I just heard from my Delta that apparently some of the men who I had grab Baxter were laughing about it in the middle of f*****g main street. To make matters worse they are pretty sure that they were overheard by the Morris boy. f**k!! Ellie and Peter were loyal but also had a conscience. They had passed these traits on to their children. I would have to take care of this before he told anyone what he’d heard.

I called my Delta back in. Dan had taken over as Delta from his father when I’d taken over as Alpha. I trusted him completely. I told him what I wanted done about Adam, and he nodded. At this rate, my dungeon would be full by the end of the week. This was all moving too slowly. I needed Amber to be mine now. It wouldn’t matter what she found out once we had completed our mating ceremony. She would officially be my Luna. I called Tanya and told her we needed to speed things up. She didn’t sound pleased. What’s her f*****g problem now?

CHRIS.

I woke up to a searing pain around my neck and a pounding in my head. I could taste my own b***d. I raised my hand to my throat and pulled it back instantly as the white hot pain rushed through my fingers. I had been collared. I forced my eyes open and saw the damp, grey blocks that made up the walls. I turned, the collar ripping into my flesh as I moved. There were bars in front of me. No doubt they were silver, too. I felt drained, and my arm was sore from the needle. I had been injected with wolfs bane. Luckily, it wasn’t a strong enough dose to kill me. Just knock me on my a*s.

I was trying to figure out where the f**k I was and who had done this when I began to remember. I had been heading up to the lake. I had seen it in a photograph on Amber’s living room wall. She had been having a picnic with her parents. I wanted to do something nice for her so I had planned to set up a picnic for us up there. I was going before hand though to see how far it was and get the lay of the land before carting all the food and bits up later. I didn’t make it though I was still in the woods when I smelt multiple wolves approaching.

Three came through the trees, fully shifted. They were growling at me and baring their teeth. I grinned. I was a f*****g Alpha and a damn good fighter. Even with three of them they didn’t stand a chance. This would be a fun workout. I had begun removing my shirt to shift when something hit me hard on the head from behind. I felt the crack and went down. It would take more than that to keep me down though. I turned to see another three in human form. f**k my clothes I was about to shift and rip these idiots apart. I felt a sharp sting in my arm and everything started to fade. I heard the one guy who I’d recognised as the Delta of Lakeside say “Sorry, nothing personal. Just following my Alpha’s orders.” Then everything had gone black. Well I didn’t think that Stone had the balls for something like this. Silver Moon could wipe Lakeside off the map. What could have possibly been worth risking everything to him? Then I realised it was because of Amber.
