Looking for the Eclipse

Chapter 4

Alex 's P.O.V:

" Dad I m coming with you and there is nothing you can do about it. You may have not found him, but you found his son and from what I hear they are working together!

Which I found out from other sources, by the way, because you still insist on keeping me in the dark regarding this!" I tell him looking straight in his eyes. He has to understand that I am not giving in this time!

"Alex, I do not want to keep you in the dark and I am not keeping you in the dark, not completely at least. I was trying to reach you today to tell you what I learned but you coming me with me is out of the question!

The pack needs to be safe and you have to be safe! I am not gonna lose anything else because of that fucker!" he says and looks at me with a mix of emotions. Hurt, love , anger and fear.

" The pack is fine and in good hands, and is going to stay like that no matter what. You taught me well and I taught them well. And you need to accept I made my decision. You lost a lot, I get it. But I lost a lot as well! And while you are trying to do something to punish the bastard, I have focused on the pack ever since you stepped down.

Like you wanted and like I had to!

But now it is time to do what I want which is deal with him together like we should! Either we go after him together or we do so seperately, but I will be going after him as well with or without you!" I scream at him and we are both left staring at each other in the middle of his appartment.

He is the one that breaks the silence with a comment he has never made before... " You are so much like her..."

" My mother?" I ask, although I already know...

" She was brave and stubborn like you. You even look more like her with your brown hair and green eyes... "

" Well, thankfully, I got my built from your side of the family otherwise I would make me a really strange man and specially a strange alpha" I joke to lighten the mood.

" Yeah, yeah, you got the alpha body from me but the brains are all from her. And that is what I am going to need from you, since you are coming."

We both smile in agreement and stay silent for a while.

" So what do you have so far?" I ask him.

" Max has a son whom I have tracked down. Apparently Max had an affair with a beta overseas before he went rogue. About 15 years ago 5 years after attack, he found out she had a child. His child. He convinced her to come along with his son but she somehow died and he raised the child himself.

The intel I have suggests that his son is about your age and is working with the father. He does all the talking with their associates so that Max can remain in the shadows. Noone knows their exact plan yet. All we know is that the son seems to be fixated to a young woman recently. He has been stalking her for a while and then he proceeded to rent an appartment in her building. He has been trying to interact with her but she is not very accepting..."

"And what is the guy' s name?" I ask, very intigued.

"David" my father answers.

" And the girl? What do we know about her?" I am curious..

" Well, not much actually. The appartment she leaves in is under her flatmates name which is Layla . The girl in question is a kidengarden teacher. When we went to ask for her details at work the secretary would not tell us, but we did hear the students calling her "miss Neli". We are going to have a name by the end of the day though." My father answers confidently.

" So where is he right now?"

" Apparently, he followed the girl and her flatmate to a club."

" Great! Lets go see the spawn of the devil! " I say already on my feet.

" Do you think that' s a good idea Alex?"

I assure my father it is, but he still looks apprehensive.

" I am telling you this is the best opportunity to see him live. It's a club so we can blend in and it s gonna be hard for him to smell our wolves."

" Fine then, I ll drive" my father says and we make our way to the car.

The club was full and we blended in easily. Well as easily as two large men in a crowd but good enough I guess. Plus, when there is alcohol involved people tend to be less observant...

My father spotted David and I got a look of him. He probaly got his size from his mother since she was a ranked wolf. He is tall and seems to be strong but what is more concerning is the look on his face. All I see is evil there.

He keeps staring towards the table where the two flatmates had been sitting for a while. One has gone over to the bar and my father told me that one is Layla. She is pretty, blond and short and she has a way about her. She has a bounce on her step that shows confidence.

I am curious to see the other one better though cause all I have been seeing so far is her back. She has long brown hair and that is all I know so far about " miss Neli".

My father leaves to answer his phone but I stay staring at the girl with the brown hair. Why can't she just turn around so I can see her face?! I really want to see her face...

I then see David moving towards her and my wolf becomes alert all of a sudden.

" Seth whats wrong?" I link my wolf.

" Get closer to them.. " he answers.

" why... what do you feel?" I keep asking him but he doesnt answer immediately.

" I do not know... all I know is that something is hapenning" he answers and that is all I need.

I start to make my way in the crowd to get closer. I cannot see them now in between the people but I know I m close.. maybe too close because my father grabs me and pulls me back.

But not before I catch a hint of a very enticing smell! It was very faint but me and my wolf picked it up.

" Alex!! Are you crazy?! The plan was to blend in and stay away, but you almost went straight at him and the girl!

Lets go! "

Once we get outside my father is furious.

We get into the car and I break silence. " Relax, dad, nothing happened! Seth picked up on something and told me to get close. I could not see how close I was but I am sure that he did not see me since I did not see him as well."

" You need to be more careful, son! I know you have brains and I told you as much earlier. Now start using them! So what did your wolf tell you except for going closer?" He asks appearing to be a bit more reassured.

" Just that something is happening and I need to get closer and than silence. Next thing i know you are dragging me and I smell something weird." I tell him while I still try to figure it out.

" What kind of smell? Do not tell me after all those years you found your mate in a human club while hunting a killer cause that is gonna be a tale for the ages to come!" My father says and starts laughing.

Now, that is a sound rarely heard so I stare at him smiling for a moment.

Finally I answer " I am sure that if that smell was my mate I would know on the spot and I would not be here with you right now. I know how to treat a lady and specially my mate if and when she comes along. Now, leaving my love life on the side, what happened with the David? I saw some commotion when you were dragging me out like a sack of potatos!" I tell him and he smiles.

" Well you are gonna like this one! He got slapped by little miss Neli" he says and starts laughing.

" He is driving back home as we speak."

I could tell he was trouble and apparently the girls could too. Good for them.

" Dad, maybe we should have somebody keep an eye on the girls for tonight because if he does not like rejection, and he is anything like his father, things could get ugly.."

" Already ahead of you son. It is taken care of." My father assures me.

When we reached me fathers house I went out like a light. The couch was too small for me but i was so tired it did not even matter to me.

I woke up in the afternoon and my father was already gone. By himself. Again. I decided to give him a call and give him a piece of my mind for going by himself when the door opens and he come in.

" Why did you let me sleep and left without me? We agreed we do this together! " I tell him but he looks at me amused.

" I would like to add to your traits inherited by your mother the fact that you are crunky as hell before you have coffee.

So, here, have some and then I will tell you where I went and what I learned." He tells me and hands me a coffee he brought for me.

He sits and takes a sip from his and gives me the update.

David really does not take rejection well cause he packed his bags in the middle of the night and left the building the girls were staying. Movers handled the rest. Nobody knows where he went cause they lost him on the way but they found from the movers the address of a werehouse that he is planning to use for his stuff.

This however tells me that there is something more to this... for some reason this girl is important. And the only additional information we have on her is a last name which is "Stevens". A common last name for an average girl with an average job. But the fact that it is soo difficult to get info on her is definrtely not average.

" So my guys are trying to track david unsuccesfully all day so far but I am meeting a guy tonight that has some info for me. Before you ask, no you are not coming with because he wants to meet me in private. I would like to ask you to watch the girls building for tonight cause all my guys are out looking for David".

I m pissed that he is not going to his meeting. But the fact that he is sharing and asks for my help is progess so I will take what I can get. For now at least...

"Fine" I tell him " but I am not just babysitting. I will sneak into his former appartment and see if there is anything left there."

" Agreed" my father says.
