Chapter 6:An ancient prophecy?
714 Words
POV: ????
I stood in the crowd annoyed to even be here. The boss always had us attending these stupid spirit animal parties. Ever since he had done some star reading saying some ancient prophecy was going to be fulfilled soon. It all sounded like a bunch of bullshit that I was at a party for some kid. At least they said there would be an open bar later. I looked forward to that. The Alpha and Luna took to the stage, followed closely by who I could only assume was the birthday girl. Soon enough, they announced her as such and the shifting started. The crowd gasped and murmured as the grill shifted into a rabbit. The Luna quickly scooped up her passed-out daughter and her and the Alpha rushed her into the house. The crowd went wild. My eyes nearly bulged out of my head. The boss was right, and I was going to be the one to make the call. My hands were shaky as I dialed the number.
"Yes, boss, you were right, it's this girl." -- "Yes, the Sun Chaser's girl." -- " A rabbit."
I was ordered to keep an eye on her and survey the pack security. Soon after, the Aplha and Luna came back out and kicked the party off. The music was blaring and the drinks were being served. I grumbled angrily now that I was on duty; I couldn't even take advantage of the full bar. The girl didn't show up for a while. I kept scanning the crowd to see if she would. I was also making mental notes of the guards, sizes, numbers, placement, rotations. This pack was large and the security around the pack house was tight. The boss was not going to like this.
Sometime late in the evening, I saw the girl coming out of the house with a wall of muscle flanking her. Personal body gaurd? I thought to myself. After observing them for a while, he was too hands on with her for that to be the case. Must be her mate, that was surely going to complicate things. I snapped a couple of pictures of them from afar while they were at the bar. They were joined by another man. This one wasn't too strong looking but was still well built for how lean he was. I tried to get closer under the guise of getting a drink. 'This is my Beta' I heard and my frown deepened. So, her mate was an Alpha, which made sense from the size of the giant man. The Boss was not going to be happy at all.
They stayed pretty much in the same spot the whole night. I slipped off a couple times so I could try to see if guard rotations were on a regular schedule. Once people were beginning to retire for the night, I approached a guard. "I seem to have had too much to drink. Do you have any guest rooms?" The guard nodded and led me to some rooms on the first floor of the packhouse. They seemed almost like motel rooms. Sun Chasers must be used to having guests. I stood outside my room for a while. I saw the Beta from before, going into a room with no sign of the Aplha he was with. 'Must be with the girl'. I lingered for a while trying to see if the guards made rounds by the guest rooms. After a while, I saw the Alpha from before come down and enter the room that the Beta had gone in. So maybe the mate bond wasn't as solidified as I had previously thought. Too bad we weren't ready to make a move tonight. The guards were relaxed from the partying and the girl was up in her room unprotected. Hopefully, this would continue for a while. After I had gathered what I thought would be all the valuable information I could gather from tonight, I retired to my room. Sending the photos I had taken to the Boss, I knew he would want a full run down tomorrow. I still couldn't believe he had been right. Our pack was one step closer to eternal strength and all we needed was that girl upstairs.
