Hidden Secret

Chapter seventeen: Kade

As I carry Manya back to my room and sit on my bed with her in my lap. She is so tiny, and I can't stand to see her crying it is bothering my wolf. “Shhh I will find her Moya Lyubov'. We will find her.” I rock her back and forth until she falls asleep then I lay her down. I want to find Mike and figure out what she was talking about. I walk down stairs and find Mike and his beta Ace on the couch. I growl at the site of him. I can't help it. He loves Manya I know. “Tell me what she was talking about.” I rubble as I sit across from them. Mike looks at Ace then at me. “This is what happened….”

“When Manya and I were young, our father, Alex got into some trouble. He started a war with another pack. Our pack won the fight, but the other packs alpha ran like the coward he was.” Mike growls. “My father packed my mother and us up and we traveled everywhere looking for him. We went everywhere moving all the time. Manya didn't understand it, but it was okay as long as we were together. She was picked on when she was little, smaller than everyone else and she was beat up, no one cared if she was the alpha's daughter she was a runt in their eyes.” Mike is looking off in the distance while he tells his story. “I got in so many fights protecting her. She was my baby sister, that's what I had to do was protect her.” I could see tears were forming in his eyes. “Ace go patrol.” Mike commands and even though he doesn't want to Ace leaves. “One day my father sat me down and told me that I am to protect my mother and sister at all cost. No matter what happened to my father.” Mike looks straight at me. “He didn't come back one night. We found him on the doorstep of our house at the time. Bleeding out. He had a ball of paper shoved in his mouth. It said that they were going to come for Manya, she would be the next killed. We were scared, and I had promised to protect her.” He was crying now. “We took her to a foster home, somewhere that the white pack would never find her. She would be safe until her eighteenth birthday. My mother and I came back here and she ran the pack till I was of age.” Mike looks at me with a serious Glenn in his eyes. “I left my baby sister with a stranger, and I cried over it every night. I missed her like crazy but my mother told me that was what had to be done for her to be safe. She grew up with this lady, she didn't know what she was but she knew she was different, she trained her, made her strong. Then when she turned eighteen I went and got her. My baby sister all grown up. I had had Ace posted watching her. Keeping tabs and sending me updates. The women had taken in another child a few years back and Manya had adopted her as her little sister. Would promise her she would never leave her like I left her.” He looked around the room sadness in his eyes. “I made her leave Anna, for her to come live with me. Now Anna is gone.” Mike puts his head in his hands and I can hear the quiet sobs. “Podnimaytes' al'fa. My nayden yeye. Vy dolzhny ostavatsya silnimi dlya Menya. Ona razhdayetsya v vas.. Head up alpha. We will find her. You must stay strong for Manya. She needs you.” I say knowing he will understand. “I don't know how I'm going to find her Kade. The Black pack is trying to start a war with us saying that Manya is their alpha's mate.” I growl. “Is he the one who attacked her the other day?” I ask seething. Mike just nods. I look at him. “Do you have a spare room or so for a few more wolves?” I ask him. “We have a whole other house why?” Mike ask skeptical. “I'm going to call my father.” I say and leave before Mike can say anything. When I left the room, he was standing there with his mouth wide open.

“Hello.” A gruff voice answers the phone. “Alpha Dane?” I ask making my voice as deep as I can. “This is him who is this?” He growls and I can't stop myself from laughing. “Kade.” I laugh out. “Kade?! Why are you calling you have only been gone 3 years!” In the background I can hear my mother clawing for the phone but I know my father is just holding it about her head. “God damn it Dane King give me that god damn phone before I beat you senseless that's my baby!” I hear her snatch the phone hen fix herself. “Hi honey!” She says into the phone. “Hi Mama.” I say missing her. “Why are you calling is something wrong?” She asked concern filling her voice.  “I have found her Mama. moya lyubov' my love I have found her.” I say getting ready for the screams. “Are you sure moy syn?” “Yes mama I have the marks as does she.” “Oh moy syn that is great! When do we get to meet her?!” She yells out and I can tell how happy she is. “Soon mama not I need to speak with papa.” I can hear her reluctantly hand the phone over to my dad. “Congrats moy syn. Now what is wrong you are not as excited as I would expect.” “There is a problem. I need some help….
