“Anna, how many times, Fraction not Alpha or if you must Henry.” He places a BLT in front of me and sits opposite with his own. I begin eating my sandwich as Beta James, Patrick, Eve and Momma Beth sit down with us. We all eat in silence for a few minutes until Beta James starts speaking with the Alpha.
“Just a reminder we have the South Claw Alpha and sister coming to visit next week. He’s bringing three females and five warriors.” Fraction just stares at him.
“Why the hell does he need five warriors on my land?” Fraction does not seem impressed by this.
“Aside from looking for his own mate I believe his sister and some of his warriors are taking the trip as a chance to find their own” Beta James answers around a mouthful of food.
“James don’t speak with your mouth full of food” scoulds Momma Beth
“Sorry Momma” Beta James looks a little red in the cheeks. Honestly Fraction’s mother is like a momma to the whole pack, she’s so kind hearted but don’t make her mad she has one heck of a temper.
“Fine, anything else you wish to ruin my lunch with?” Fraction is getting annoyed, probably at having his home filled with unknown warriors.
“Another six she-wolves have been reported missing, all from different packs.” Beta James says this low but we all hear it. Momma Beth gasps, Eve puts down her sandwich and I stare at the grooves in the table.
“Patrick, meet me in my office when you are done, you too James. Eve, Beth neither of you are to leave the packland alone until I figure this out. Understood?” Fraction is in Alpha mode and leaves before we can acknowledge what he says. We will listen. We always do.
(Fraction)
Leaving my sandwich uneaten at the table I storm out and head to my office. James and Patick will follow me when they are done. I head straight to my computer and phone, I quickly check my emails, nothing, not one damn message about the missing she-wolves. I dial Alpha Darryl on my phone.
“Fraction, what do I owe the pleasure?” Darryl picks up the phone on the third ring.
“Why haven’t I been informed about the missing she-wolves?” I’m angry, I have 82 females in my pack, that’s 82 wolves in danger.
“Your Beta works fast” Darryl sounds impressed, “The she- wolves were all declared missing around two hours ago. All different ages, some mated some not, all different in looks. My Beta has a theory but I think it’s far fetched”
“Tell me” I’m holding Leo back. He’s concerned for Anna and is demanding we keep her close. James and Patrick enter my office and sit down. I hold up a hand and put the phone on speaker. “Go ahead Darryl, you’re on speaker with James and Rick.”
“So my Beta thinks whoever is taking these she-solves might be, erm well, that he might be shopping.”
“Shopping?” Rick sounds confused.
“Wait as in shopping for a mate?” My Beta is clearly on the same wavelength as Darryl’s Beta.
“Yeah, I mean it makes sense. In the last 6 months we have had twenty-three she-wolves be taken. All from different packs. All different ages. None look alike and none are seen again.” What he says makes sense.
“Alright” I squeeze the top of my nose between my eyes, “I suggest I do a conference call with the other Alphas and try to figure out who is doing this. So far my pack hasn’t lost any females but I’m going to tighten my borders to be sure it stays that way.”
“Alright, I’ll see you in a week mate” Darryl hangs up the phone.
I turn to my Beta and head warrior, “Anna is not to go out alone at any point.”
“She won’t like that” my Beta laughs out.
“I could keep her busy with some training, it’s her birthday today. She’s seventeen and she should be trained to defend herself.” Rick makes his case again.
I stand from my desk and walk over to the whiskey bottle and pour myself a generous amount. “Fine” I turn and stare at Rick, he’s been Rick to me for so long I sometimes forget others call him Patrick, “Rick you will train her yourself. Train her better than any female before her. Make her strong. Make her your best. If she gets hurt be ready to face Leo one on one” I swallow my whiskey in one mouthful as they both get up to leave.
“One more year Fraction, she will know soon.” James says to my back
“I just want her safe” I whisper into my glass.
(Anna)
After yesterday’s announcement that I wasn’t to leave without an escort I haven’t been outside. I find it easier to stay inside and then at least I don’t have Beta James or some random Warrior following me around everywhere. When I got to school, I let out a deep sigh, no one needed to follow me around here. Fraction has placed Warriors at all the entrances and exists.
