“Does Callum know you have come here?” I ask Dan.
“No, Alpha. He does not. I gathered my mate and two pups and left in the night. The others with us are ones that the Alpha and Luna terrorised with their odd and unusual brand of punishment.” He sees the question in my eyes, “they take the females in the pack and use them to please their own S**ual fetishes. Over the years they have gotten worse and more open about the punishments. Alpha Callum, he killed a pup in the centre of the pack. She was rumoured to have been the Alpha Heirs mate, but the Alpha did not agree. The poor pup was taken by so many males she died.” I’m so disgusted I have no words for a moment. Alphas are meant to protect and fight for the weak and young, not allow them to be killed in such a hideous way.
“I’m sorry you had to endure this. We can talk more at the packhouse, If you would all follow James, I will meet you there and swear in the adults, I don’t allow pups to be sworn in until they are of age.” I turn to the group and point at James. I hear multiple “Thank you!” “Thank you, Alpha!” as the group follows James. I stop Dan for a moment.
“Just so you know I have a Head Warrior and I have no interest in replacing him.” I wanted him to know the job wasn’t open.
“Of course. Alpha. I have heard of Patrick, and I would not think to take his job. I look forward to maybe working with him?”
“We can look into that.” Dan heads off with the other as I jump back in the SUV.
Things are getting messy with Callum: I’m concerned for how the Moon Gathering will go. I think I’m going to bring more warriors just in case.
(Anna)
It has been a long day: Fraction took in a group from Alpha Callum’s pack. I made sure the pups and women were all fed, cleaned and looked after while he talked to the males in his office. When they finally emerged, the sun had already set, and the pups were settled in my old room. Fraction looked tense and refused to talk about what was said. I got a very gruff ‘Later.‘ when I asked him about it. He asked me to go up to our room and start packing for the Moon Gathering as he and James went into the office. That was almost three hours ago and now I’m bored. I decide to go and see if Fraction is anywhere near done.
I tiptoe down to his office very much like I did the night I was taken. Again, I didn’t meet anyone on my way down, it must be a little later than I thought.
‘Go back to the room Anna.‘ I hear Winter scold me.
‘No! I’m his Luna and I’m sick of being picked up and placed where he wants. He can either come to bed or tell me what is going on.’ I reply to her.
‘Fine but nothing good ever happens when we wander around alone.‘ I mean she’s not wrong but I’m not going to tell her that.
When I get to the office door, I realise I can hear James even though the door is closed. This door is reinforced so people can’t listen in on the Alpha’s meeting. I don’t know how I can hear them but listen.
unashamedly.
“What about Sarah, did you get rid of her?” I hear Fraction ask.
“Yeah, she won’t be an issue anymore. You should have let me do that from the start.” James responds in a low voice.
“I don’t like using such a heavy hand, but I won’t have her upsetting, Anna. Did the checks on Dan and the others come back ok?” I can’t help but wonder what they did to Sarah, sure she pissed me off, but I don’t want her to come to any harm. I hear some papers rustling ast James answers.
“Yeah, they all check out. My concern is what he told you about Callum. If he’s really helping the rogues capture these females, he’s going to have a lot of packs after him.”
“We have no proof, only the word of a deserter Head Warrior. Hist word won’t be counted in front of the Elders.” I lean slightly closer not wanting to miss anything. I hear the clink of ice on glass and assume Fraction just poured himself a whiskey.
“What about Anna? What Dan is claiming is crazy, could it be true?”
“I don’t know yet. If she really was sold as a child, then she could have a family out there. If it’s true it means Callum is not only helping capture females for rogues but he’s also selling pups.” I gasp, clasping my hand over my mouth. I can’t believe what I just heard. Sold? Me!
‘Demand answers! Now!‘ Winter demands. I don’t think as I open the office door and look at the two stunned men before me. James is sitting on the sofa surrounded by papers and a half empty glass of whiskey. Fraction is sitting in his chair looking straight at me like he’s seen a ghost.
“Anna! What are you doing?” Fraction demands, his tone has taken on an edge of anger.
“What do you mean I was sold?” I shout, I didn’t mean to shout, it just came out like that.
Fraction stands and grips the desk, “were you listening at the door?”
“Of course, I was. You don’t tell me anything and just demand I go where you tell me. Now tell me, what do you mean I was sold?” James‘ s eyes are going back and forth between us like he’s watching a tennis. match.
“Anna, maybe you should have a seat.” James tries to interrupt the coming argument.
“Shut up James.” me and Fraction both snap at the same time.
“Anna, I only have limited information right now. I was going to tell you when I have more.” Fraction is pleading with me to listen but I’m too angry. Winter is egging me on to test my limits. I walk closer to him so there is only a desk between us.
“I gave you everything and you still can’t tell me anything. If you can’t tell me what you meant about me being sold, maybe you can tell me what you had done to Sarah.”
Fraction sputters, “Sarah is gone, she won’t be a problem anymore.”
“You killed her?” I can’t believe what I’m hearing
