Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 70

KIM.

I was starting to get nervous. Tanya hadn’t returned, and I couldn’t get hold of her. Her phone was going straight to the answerphone. I decided to perform a locator spell and was taken aback to find that she was inside the Night Forest pack lands. Why the f**k was she there? There’s no way that a bunch of mangy mutts had beaten my sister. She was one of the most powerful witches that I knew of. She had learnt a lot from my mother before we lost her in a battle with werewolves. Me and Tanya had vowed to destroy the pack that had cost us our mother. Tanya had to come back. We hadn’t finished yet, Lakeside hadn’t been destroyed. Sure we had gotten rid of Mary, the whole reason that the battle happened in the first place, but we still had work to do. I would get a good night’s sleep and try to rescue her tomorrow.

ALPHA JASON STONE.

I paced around my office. I had barely slept last night. I hadn’t heard from the Mills family. They had agreed to my plan just as I’d predicted. I had warriors on standby to kill them once I’d heard that the Morris family had been taken care of. I would tell the council that we had been attacked and had to kill them but had unfortunately lost members in the attack. I couldn’t help thinking that I definitely should have heard something by now. Maybe they were waiting for Amber to be out of the way as I had given strict instructions that she was not to be hurt. Yes, that had to be it. Otherwise, surely she would have run straight to me after witnessing the attack. Actually, that could help to speed things along between us, I thought with a smile. The trauma of watching her friends meet a bloody and violent end would drive her straight into my arms. I would need to tell Mills to attack when she was there. I picked up my phone, but the door knocked before I could dial. Frustrated, I called for whoever it was to enter and seated myself in my chair

The door swung open, and council member Perry walked in. Bollocks I’d forgotten about him for a moment. “Alpha Stone. I wanted to let you know that I will be sticking around for a few days. I will also be heading up to the hospital shortly to speak to your father about the matter that you reported. The council felt that as I’m already here, I might as well handle the investigation” he said flatly. I managed to hide my annoyance “Very well, I will let the staff know that you will be with us a while longer, and i will inform the hospital of your visit. I will let them know that you have my permission to enter my dads room.” I replied. He smirked at me “Alpha Stone, I do not need your permission. I outrank you.” He said, sounding amused. I clenched my fist under my desk. I wanted to jump over it and rip his throat out the cocky f*****g prick. How f*****g dare he disrespect me like that in my own f*****g office. It took everything I had to stay sat there. I didn’t speak as I couldn’t trust what might come out. He turned and left still smirking. Once I had Amber as my Luna and her power ran through me I would take great pleasure in dismantling the council. Violently. Starting with him.

AMBER.

I woke to the sound of Becky excitedly calling my name “Amber, Amber wake up. He’s safe. Adam is safe.” She was telling me “ Mum got a phone call, he made it to Night Forest, and Chris is there too.” My heart leapt at her words, but I remembered the pain that I had felt last night. In fact, the last thing that I remembered was Ellie explaining what the pain was. I nodded at her “I’m glad he’s safe, I will reject him on his return.” I said, trying hard to keep my voice steady. She looked surprised by this, which confused me. She had heard what her mum had said. Why was she surprised? “Why would you want to reject him?” she asked “Surely it’s not because of Jason? Or because Adam is just an omega?” She continued. I looked at her quizzically “Do you really think so little of me? I would never reject someone because of their status. As for Jason, the only thing I want from him is to see him pay for his crimes.” I said, sounding hurt. “Then why reject Adam?” she asked again. “Your mum told us why I was in pain last night. I know that we are not together and that I had only just realised who he is to me, but you said that he already knew. Yet he still chose to be with someone else.” I said emotion, pouring out of me. Becky raised her hand to her forehead “s**t I forgot you were unconscious when he called.” She said. Becky quickly filled me in on her conversation with Adam and how Star had come to the surface to help him.

It was only then that I noticed the metallic tang of b***d in the air. Becky looked a little sheepish as she told me what had happened last night. I sat there silently listening. “Star is so beautiful.” She finished. I heard Star almost purring in my head. I thanked her for keeping them safe. “No need to thank me. I love them ad much as you do. Besides, they are our mates family, so they are our family.” She replied, and I smiled. Becky raised an eyebrow questioningly. “Star says that you are family, and she loves you.” I told her. She broke into a huge grin and threw her arms around me. “This hug is for both of you “ she said.

My mind suddenly caught on to something she had said earlier. Adam and Chris were at the Night Forest pack. Where had I heard that name before? It took a good few minutes to realise that I hadn’t heard it, I’d read it. That day in the library. I couldn’t remember what it was that I’d read about it, though. My notebook was at home, I’d need to drop by and have a look.
