“She’s…great,” came Ronda’s voice.
As soon as my brothers and I recognised her voice, we all groaned in unison.
“Pause it,” said Felix, releasing Danny from his earlier command.
Danny stopped the tape.
“Nothing relevant happened there right?” Confirmed Alex, wanting to be meticulous.
He was right. We needed to make sure we weren’t overlooking anything.
“Ronda’s answers were useless,” said Danny.
“Fitting,” Said Alex.
Felix snickered.
“Well, it’s your turn,” I said, turning to Chance who has been extremely quiet.
“I almost forgot you were here,” admitted Felix, looking back at Chance.
“My turn?” Asked Chance.
Alex was on the same page as me.
“Your turn to tell us what you know. You don’t seem the least bit surprised by Deidre’s alleged omnipresence,” said Alex,
“Thank goodness you got to use your word of the day before dinnertime, Alex. You’ll have enough time to work in a second word of the day,” t**sed Felix.
Alex ignored him.
“Start talking, Grandpa,” said Felix gruffly.
Chance looked affronted but he wasn’t afraid of Felix which was actually pretty imp**ssive for an old wolf. I threw Felix a disparaging glance. Alex gave him a dirty look too.
“Fine…please,” said Felix as though the word tasted bad to say.
Chance took a deep breath and then launched into his theory.
Calix
“I have it figured out!” Declared Chance
“Go on,” said Alex encouragingly, gesturing towards the old werewolf.
He looked around the conference room, his eyes darting to and fro.
“Wait! This is where they got her?” Asked Chance.
“Don’t remind me,” grumbled Felix, his jaw set.
I empathised with Felix. I didn’t want to be reminded of that moment either but I answered Chance’s question anyway. Chance had a right to know the details of Chasity’s kidnapping. He was her only known living relative unless we counted Mom as her ex-step-aunt and ourselves as her ex-step-cousins which was admittedly a little gross so I didn’t count that. At least, we were not biologically related.
“Well, out on the balcony of the attic, yeah,” I admitted, trying not to dwell on that memory.
“So what?!” Alex snapped, becoming impatient. “Time is of the essence! Do you have some brilliant theory or not?!”
Chance frowned. I knew Alex was struggling. He was trying so hard to be Alex even though he wanted to just be heartbroken like the rest of us.
“I thought you were supposed to be the logical one,” muttered Chance.
Alex growled. I quickly put a hand on his shoulder.
Don’t you be gruff with him too! Felix already has an attitude with him and our parents were the ones who kept him from Chasity for years! Before Mom, his own estranged daughter kept Chasity away from him. He’s old and alone. He thinks he can help and he has helped so far. He’s already provided information we would have never gotten otherwise! Let’s humour him. Make him feel important, I said in earnest.
I really felt bad for this guy. Having the love of my life, my Goddess Chasity, taken away from me for several days had been excruciating. I had no idea where Chance’s mate was but I assumed she was no longer with us. His daughter, Chalice, was dead according to him. Even if he was mistaken, then Chalice was still missing and had been for years. His granddaughter, my Chasity, was also missing after years of growing up without him. My brothers and I were miserable after our source of pure bliss had been snatched away from us but this guy had been miserable for about a decade if not longer.
Alex took a deep breath to calm himself. He took on an apologetic tone.
“Haven’t been able to keep my wolf on a tight leash since she’s been gone,” said Alex with a heavy sigh. “Chasity was the greatest motivating factor when it came to my control.”
I smiled. I could always count on Alex to hear me out.
“I don’t want to be overheard. This place isn’t secure if she was taken from here,” said Chance, lowering his gaze and adjusting his blazer.
He still seemed flustered by Alex’s growl. I could tell Alex felt guilty for losing control if only momentarily. I threw a wary glance at Felix. I was surprised he wasn’t frothing at the mouth. If even Alex suddenly had a quick temper, Felix might go from having a short fuse to being fuse-less entirely.
“Fine. I’m hungry. Let’s go to a coffee shop,” muttered Felix under his breath.
My jaw literally dropped. Without Chasity, Felix was listless. The whole ordeal had took the fight right out of him.
“I know a place,” said Danny quietly.
Danny had remained so silent throughout all of this, I had almost forgotten he was in the room.
“It’s a good place for delicate exchanges of information,” said Danny in hushed tones.
“Awesome sauce,” I said, a phrase usually mocked by Felix who rarely passed up the opportunity to make fun of me.
“Okay,” said Felix to Danny, his tone deadpan.
We drove to the cafe in the most awkward silence I had ever experienced. I was relieved to exit the car and find a quiet booth.
“What’ll it be, Alphas and friends?” Said a mature waitress before our b**ts had fully connected with the cushioned seats of the booth.
Pack members were always keen on never letting any pack leaders wait for service. They were especially vigilant when it came to Alphas. I looked at the woman. She had a pleasant smile and wore her thick white hair piled on top of her head in a suspiciously huge bun. When I was little, I had been terrified of women with buns like that after watching this movie where an alien hid her oblong cranium under such a hairstyle. The waitress followed my eyes upwards, scrutinising the ceiling before finally realising I was looking at her bun.
“May we see a menu first please?” Asked Alex politely, seemingly back to his normal self.
“Oh my goodness!” Exclaimed the waitress, chuckling at her mistake as she hurried to pass out the menus.
“It’s a coffee shop, Alex, they have coffee,” grumbled Felix.
“f**k you, Felix!” Said Alex.
Okay then. Alex was not exactly back to his normal self.
“I see you need a few more minutes,” mumbled the waitress.
Felix snorted with laughter.
“Felix will have coffee,” said Alex pointedly. “Five coffees,” announced Alex, throwing his hands up in the air so that his menu accidentally flew out of his hand and across the cafe.
