"It is gunna be a long ride. Since I am now banished from my pack we have to head to a safe place others like myself and your father live. You better eat up now because we aren’t stopping again." He smirked at me. The farther we head north the farther away from my safety I get. What had I been thinking when I turned myself over?
"Yeah well stop shutting me up and maybe you will learn a thing or two. Now we are both in danger as is our pup!" Athena said pissed off at me. I frowned I had never made her mad at me before, I have really messed up.
*Blaine’s Point of View*
I threw my phone across the room as it shattered on impact. I flopped into my office chair as I fought against Rett, my wolf, who was trying hard to take control. Who does this Faye woman think she is? Defying an alpha one of which she wants to pledge to, all for what to put herself in more danger that I will have to send my men into. In order to save her and her unborn pup that is. I
reached into my desk grabbing out another phone, I tend to break them a lot, and retrieved my sims card from the pieces of the broken one on the floor. Rubbing my face I tried to calm down while the phone started up, I was about to have to have a very unpleasant conversation with the council. Before I could even look up their number I was receiving an incoming call from a number I didn’t recognize.
"Alpha Blaine?" The husky voice said on the phone.
"Yes, this is he. Who may I ask is calling?" I responded annoyed
"This is Alpha Martin. I am sorry to bother you but it is very important that we speak with you." He sounded very worried
"We?" I asked
"Yes Blaine, we." I familiar soft spoken voice responded. I knew the woman it belonged to well. She babysat me when I was very young before she left, however she always kept in touch over the years.
"Jolene" I breathed
"Good to hear from you again Blaine it has been far to long. I haven’t been able to speak with anyone for five years aside from Alpha Williams which I had to be very careful when even doing that. Being in hiding from my Ex husband has really been a pain in my ass." Her voice brought back so many memories. She was like a second mother to me.
"Yes well I have recently learned that about you. I am sorry things have went for you the way they have."
"Yes that is why I am reaching out to you today. I know Faye has been captured of her own free will." She said her voice sad
"How did you know that it has only just happened!" My heart raced
"My child takes after me in many ways. She is very head strong and has the instinct to protect those she loves. Sometimes it gets the best of her, and only places her in more danger. This is one of those times. I am not pure Werewolf Blaine nor is my twin sister Renea. You know that our father had several mistresses before mating with our mother, well the mother who raised us. Our biological mother was a witch though my father didn’t know that at the time, she had played herself as that of a human that knew about us. She claimed she accepted our kind and my father quickly fell in love. Not a month later she was pregnant with twins, when my father discovered she was pregnant he was ecstatic. A little ways into the pregnancy she grew complacent on hiding her magic and my father caught her one day. He didn’t hate her for what she was, many wolves mate with other species, He was furious she lied.” Taking a breath, she continued
“After she gave birth to us she tried to flee with us without him knowing. Her plan all along was to get half beta half witch pups that she could raise to be powerful and destructive. She hated our kind and wanted to use my sister and I to help bring down our kind. My father and your grandfather tracked her down killing her. We were taught how to control our witch half and how to use it for good and many do not even know this side exist. Faye is part witch as well, however she is something more as well. I can not tell what power grows within her, I am blocked from seeing that part of her. I do not believe she has unlocked it or the witch part yet, when she does she is going to need help learning to control these other parts of her. Blaine if you do not save her and I mean soon the pups life is at risk and so is Faye. You must find her, She left you a way to find her but I am not able to say what it is. My vision only allowed me so much intel but I ask of you please save my baby."
"Slow down Jolene I am so confused. I knew about you and your sister, However I never expected your children to have any powers since such a small amount of her DNA was witch. Are you telling me otherwise?"
"Based off my vision her powers will be stronger than mine. Even Renea’s. I am unsure how that is or if it is more than the witch inside her. All I know is she is special and crucial to all of our futures. However she doesn’t believe in herself nor does her wolf. She can not protect herself nor her pup until she learns to love herself and accept love from others. She is damaged and until she heals she is very vulnerable."
"Why me? Why has everyone enlisted me on this task?"
"You are the only one strong enough to free her from not only Leon and the others, but herself too. You can do this Blaine but I have said to much already. I must go. Look for the path she left for you, in it you will find everything you’re looking for" With that she hung up.
"What the hell?" I muttered to myself sitting my phone onto my desk. This family is severely screwed up in the head. Jolene made
absolutely no since in what she had said. What I do know is that I have to find this pregnant woman before something awful happens to her and her pup.
I stood up about to leave my office when my door burst open and Harold, my second in command, and Lonnie my enforcer came running in. I stood frozen by there sudden entrance.
"Alpha he has her" Harold spoke
"She went willingly!" Lonnie added
"I am aware" I stated and they looked at me confused. "She called me from your phone Lonnie did she not tell you? Anyway when you were all fighting, she called said she had to protect y’all. she said she wasn’t worth all of this and hung up"
"Wait my phone?" Lonnie questioned. " I went back for it and couldn’t find it anywhere. I though it was lost in the wreck somewhere."
"YOUR PHONE" I about screamed rushing back to my desk and opening up my laptop.
"What?" Harold and Lonnie asked confused.
"She left a way to track her. She is genius!"
"Why would she leave if she wanted us to find her after all?" Harold ask
"She was acting the entire time!" Lonnie said catching on "She knew we were out number, and catching them would still have left Leon and the others on the run."
"So giving herself to them will allow us to find them all when we have more in numbers and a better chance at winning the fight against them" I stated as well
"Wow she is smart." Harold said
"Yes" I agreed "However if we do not find her soon Jolene said they both can be hurt!"
"Jolene?" Lonnie asked before waving it off. Now wasn’t the time for a play by play.
"Harold Gather all of out military members throughout the pack have them meet us here as soon as possible. Lonnie you are to summon any warriors we have that are not on duty. I am looking up your phone and should have a GPS signal within a few minutes. We must gather out team and head out within the hour."
The men took off to summon those I requested. As I typed through several different webpages to get into the GPS database on all of my inner circle I also called the counsel.
"Wayne" I said when he answered. My father was one of the counsel members, He knew addressing him by name meant this was important. I went over everything that has happened and our plans to attack. The counsel immediately approved the attack in order to save Faye. Right before I hung up the GPS signal for Lonnie’s phone pinged. Minot North Dakota.
"We have a location!" I announced to everyone around me and on the phone.
"The address given is an old summer camp grounds full of abandoned cabins. With this many buildings we can assume there are several other shifters involved in this than we imagined." I said
"We will send you several other warriors from other packs that can lend the help. Be smart about this Blaine." My father said.
Hanging up we headed out. My pack is huge we stretch from the smokey mountains we mainly only run and hunt up there' then we have smaller groups of our pack throughout different counties within the northeastern part of Georgia. The Pack house where I am located is in a small community called Sandy Cross in Franklin county. Here we are in the middle of nowhere, lots of woods and farmland. I am nearly dead center of the territory seeing that if the alpha is killed the entire pack can fall. I Have warriors stationed around each town in order to protect our lands. We have some in Toccoa Ga, Lavonia Ga, Hartwell Ga, Elberton Ga, Madison Ga, Commerce Ga, Gainesville GA, Clarksville Ga, Clayton Ga, Nicholson Ga, And even Athens Ga. These areas are where we have the most of our kind. There are a few who enjoy living more in with the humans and less with us who scatter into surrounding towns, but not so far out that we cant protect them if we need to. With so much land in our territory, we have a lot of warriors and military
members. We keep several hundred members trained and on stand-by in case of an emergency or lock down. Days like today I am thankful for our numbers more than ever.
Outside the pack house was exactly 248 men ready to fight with us, 39 females who have trained for this as well. Those plus the three of us coming out gives us exactly 290 warriors ready for battle. The counsel is sending us more to meet there, so hopefully our strength in numbers will cause many to surrender. I would rather they answer to the counsel for what they have done than to die fighting us. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy giving justice, but death seems to easy for these men. I smiled at my army then shifted before heading north into battle of the tainted shifters.
After a day of nonstop running in our wolf forms we approach the location I had followed the GPS trace to. I am still unsure how he got her here this quickly if they drove the white van I sat staring at from the ledge I found over looking the camp. Her scent wasn’t in the van though as I had someone sneak down to check. Confused I sent Lonnie Down to see if he caught her scent anywhere. While waiting my men and woman spread out surrounding the camp at a safe distance as to not be scented. Lisa my head for the female warrior approached me silents.
"Alpha" She mind linked
"Lisa" I responded "Is something wrong?"
"Alpha they have a witch on their side. Not this Faye woman but an experienced witch. She must have used some spell to get them here as fast as they got here. There is no was to drive from where they wrecked to here in just the few hours it took before you got the reading from the GPS"
"Figures. I felt like this would be more than just a bunch of Werewolves we have to fight. I can smell other shifters too. Feline, Bear, Bird. I need to reach out to the counsel. Keep watch for me"
I turned and sprinted into the woods. Once I was sure no one could hear me I called my Father. " Dad we need help. A lot of it. There are Feline, Bear, and bird shifters. As well as a Witch. We may be strong and we may have numbers on our side but we cant compete with magic nor those who can fly." I quickly and quietly spoke.
"Son breathe" My father said. "You have a witch there already, I sent her the moment we hung up yesterday. I will call to the few packs around you of other shifters they will send resources your way. Give them two hours and they should be there"
"What witch?" I ask before a voice spoke behind me causing me to spin around and nearly attack them but I found myself on my ass as a gust of wind hit me.
"Hello Blaine" Jolene said standing before me
"You cant be here. This is to personal for you. You cant get hurt!" I said my father only laughed through the phone before hanging up.
"It is time I stand up to my ex. I have the counsels permission to join this fight. Yes its personal as it is my daughter in there, meaning I know I will not go down without a fight. I have spent years with witches learning more spells and powers within me. This witch you're dealing with is from the Ravenwood coven, pure black magic."
"Oh s**t" I mumbled not realizing that though I don’t want here to fight in this battle, we need her. I nodded my head at her stating I understood what we were up against and that I accept her help.
We walked back to my cliff where Lisa stood, her eyes growing wide when she saw Jolene. "Counsel moves fast" She muttered and I chuckled. We watched the shifters move around in their human form, a few guarded in their animal form. Thankfully none of the bird shifters where in the air or we would be discovered. I heard growls come from my team and spun to see seven werebears
and nine feline shifters, two were cheetahs, three were lions, and four were tigers. Looking up I noticed Two eagles flying in circles. Linking my pack member I ordered them to shift back and join us on the ledge.
"Thank you for coming to help us. Upon heading here we thought it was only our kind until we realized we have stumbled upon a pack of many shifter species and even a witch too. We couldn’t take this pack down without your help." I stated my voice full of appreciation.
"We have heard rumors around here that several outcasted shifters of different species were coming together in hopes to cause chaos in our world. We hadn’t found solid proof or a lead to solidify the rumors until the counsel called earlier. We are thankful for the chance to bring these disgraceful shifters down." One of the Werelions said "My name is Ralph" He added then introduced the other two lions. "This is lynard and Sam"
The other shifters agreed and introduced themselves quickly as well. The Cheetahs were Paul and Bob, and the Tigers were Tom, Ryan, George, and Landon. The eagles never shifted to come back down and the bears also stayed in their shifter forms which I took no offense to. I knew even the Eagles up high could hear the plan if they tried as they were closer to us than the camp was. I told
everyone my plan was to go back to surrounding the entire camp before we attacked that way no one can escape. Jolene is also creating a force field that will not allow anyone to escape in case someone gets by us. All the additional shifters are to be in active fight with us in order to help take down their own kind in a more fair fight. I stationed about 100 of my team to remain on the
perimeter there they were to stay unless called on the fight and they would be the third wave to attack. Jolene wouldn’t be in active battle, she is staying behind the scene and counteracting whatever spell the other witch tries to cast. If she tries to fight face to face with spells Jolene will interfere and fight her as well to keep her busy while we take down the others. Harold, Lonnie, and I are in wave three after the first wave goes in and attracts their attention and causes the others to come out of their hideouts. Lonnie informed me that Faye’s scent is indeed here and he followed it to a cabin on the small lake that is located further into the campground.
After everyone knew their places and their mission we spread out. Our cue to attack was when the Eagles whistles above indicating that we are all in position. At that moment Wave one would charge the campground. Standing in anticipation I waited
for the call of the Eagles, My heart pounded the moment I heard them sound off. I watched as the other shifters as well as several of my men took off into battle. Within minutes they were breaking through into the campground from all angles, taking those in the campground by surprise. I started my shift into my Huge solid silver wolf with Copper eyes. I stood ready to bound into the fight
when it was time for my wave to enter. This was it, we were about to bring down a group of shifters we hadn’t even known was conspiring against us. Had Faye not risk her life, we may have never of known until they striked at us first. I needed to remember to thank you, once we make it out of here alive anyway.
Just then the Sound of the Eagles once more sang through the fight below, telling me it was time. Rhett didn’t hesitate as he carried me forward into battle, like so many times before.
