I took in a deep breath as I tried to sort through everything. I leaned into Sion for support as I looked at Aces.
Who was this Meryl person? And what exactly was ‘Call me Bree’ doing?
We need to tell Sion.. I said to Aces.
“What is going on?” Sion asked. I glanced up at him and pursed my lips together. I didn’t understand everything, but I knew Dr. Sinister was working against the pack.
“Alpha, we have company.” Conner looked out the window where a group of warriors stood looking in with Dr. Sinister between them.
“Let’s see what is going on,” Sion said and I looked
Over at Aces.
“Let Aces out. He doesn’t need to be caged.” I watched as Sion nodded his head and I smiled back at Aces. At least I got him out of there. There was a lot to talk about, but it looked like Dr. Sinister was one step ahead of me. As we walked out of the chambers, I noticed her eyes flicker at me.
“What seems to be the problem?” Sion asked and just ‘Call Me Bree’ had a poisonous smile spread across her lips.
“Follow us. There is something you need to see outside.”
I felt soft fur tickle my legs and glanced down to see Aces standing protectively at my side. His gaze was narrowed on Dr. Sinister as she walked down the hall. The soldiers followed ahead of her, and we followed behind them. Something was wrong. I could feel it in my bones. I felt Sion’s hand move around me, pulling me close to his side. He glanced down at me and gave me a reassuring smile. A smile that faded instantly as we stepped outside.
It looked like the whole pack had assembled and were waiting there. And in front of all of them stood Dr. Sinister, giving Sion a fake sympathetic look. It was all a big setup. Whatever she was doing, she had all of the wolves here under her influence.
“Alpha Sion, we are all here because we are concerned about you.”
Oh puke, this woman was full of herself. Never did a person cry out so loudly they wanted me to throat punch them.
“You’ve acted differently since you came back, and I know what the problem is. It is that woman you are keeping by your side.”
Sion pulled me tighter against him and let out a low threatening growl. “Careful doctor. You don’t know what you are saying. This isn’t just some woman. She is my fated mate. My luna.”
Dr. Sinister didn’t look shocked at all. Of course, she wasn’t. The bit.ch had figured it out. She knew Sion long enough that she must have known who l was to him. Which means.. this was all a trap. I watched the evil twitch in her eyes, and I knew I was right. She wanted him to say that.
“Sion, when you arrived, you only called her your masseuse and now, she is your fated mate? Come now, you can’t expect us to believe that. If she were really your fated mate, you would have told us as soon as you arrived.”
Aces stepped in front of me and flashed his teeth at Dr. Sinister as a warning tone sounded from him.
“Look at that. Even Aces has taken to her. you see what I am saying?”
She had set her trap well. I noticed the nodding of heads and quiet murmurs in the pack.
“Now wait a minute. We knew that she was his mate. We were just keeping it quiet for a few days. Logan and I both knew-” Conner started as Dr. Sinister clicked her tongue over and over, shaking her head.
“Such a shame. You all don’t even realize it, do you?”
“Realize what?!” Sion growled.
“That she is manipulating all of you. It is what her kind does..” Her eyes landed on me, and a slight smirk pulled up over her lips. I never wanted to rip someone’s jugular out more than I did at this moment.
“Sion, she is manipulating you into thinking you are mates. Look how even Aces responds to her. He avoided his alpha, but he trusts this complete stranger? Even you have to see how weird that is. Of course, this would be impossible for a regular werewolf but she isn’t a regular werewolf at all… are you Clover? I knew it the moment she entered the chamber. The magical light lit up and then it all made sense. You are a sheya!”
I glanced up at Sion to see the unreadable expression on his face. I could see how the evidence was stacking up against me. And honestly, it was quite compelling. I did plan on leaving the Sulfur pack. If l had the power of a sheya l could have used it to manipulate him into thinking, we are mates so I could leave the pack. I had these strange visions and even Aces trusted me. He avoids the whole pack but not me? Sion didn’t know everything, but if I told him now, it would look like a desperate lie.
“Alpha, this woman is dangerous. She must be sent far away from the pack. Then you will return to normal and see your mind was just being manipulated.” Dr. Sinister had the pack eating out of the palm of her hand. Their voices of affirmation were heard, and they were ready to forcefully escort me out of the pack.
“So, you are telling me that all of you are against Clover? You won’t accept her as my luna no matter what I say?”
Sion said in a quiet voice.
“You’ll see once she is gone that it was all a big lie. This is for the best. The whole pack agrees. We are not comfortable with her presence here. It is the only way to save you from her influence. We would do anything to protect you, Alpha Sion. Even from yourself in this situation.”
Just like that, I lost another home. This was Sion’s pack… he was their alpha. I know once he said he would stay with me no matter what, but this is reality. It is one thing to say something it is another to do it. I glanced up at him and chewed on my inner lip.
I wonder if he is considering what she has told him. Even if he wasn’t he couldn’t leave his pack. My presence here was a problem for him. I wouldn’t leave him to make the choice on his own. I needed to leave for him. It’s funny how certain events make things clearer.
Knowing that I had to part from Sion made me realize how strong my feelings were for him. I love Sion. And because I love him so much, I didn’t want him to be forced to tell me to leave. I went to step away from him, but he gripped me against him tighter. I could see the pain in his eyes as he looked down at me.
“I’m so sorry Clover… I wanted this to be your home.”
His lips were pursed together as his hazel eyes looked back over the pack. I know this was what he had wanted. It was okay.
Honest. It hurt… but I understood. He wasn’t just any wolf in the pack. He was their leader…the alpha. I took in a quiet steadying breath.
“It’s okay, Sion.” I patted his arm as I tried to step away from him again. This time he looked down at me as if I was crazy as he held fast to me. His eyes met with mine and a smile reached his lips.
“Crazy woman, where do you think you are going.” He leaned down and his lips touched lightly over the top of my head. He Iifted his gaze up to look over his pack. “I won’t subject my mate to live in a pack where she isn’t wanted. And I won’t live without my mate. l’m stepping down as your alpha and I will be leaving tonight.” My lips parted as the anxious whispers filled the air.
“We can’t allow you to do that. You are being controlled Alpha Sion. We have to protect you.” Dr. Sinister stared back at Sion as the warriors moved forward next to her.
Sion, it’s hard to explain but the pack is under some sort of brain manipulation. I think it is from the inoculation shots. Your pack needs you. He didn’t look at me as he moved me slightly behind him.
We will come back and save the pack. Right now, we need to get you out of here.
Dam.n it I hated that I couldn’t shift right now. I was a liability when I should have been an asset. Sion was now thinking about protecting me right now. By the looks of the pack, they were on edge. I wasn’t going to be able to casually waltz out of here and they weren’t about to allow Sion just to leave.
Conner and Logan stepped forward taking protective stances in front of Sion. Aces leaned more into my leg and looked up at me.
