Alpha Declans pov.
I had no idea what was going on untill the girl they called Andrea finished her shift. Her pure golden coat and the same piercing blue eyes as me. I couldn't believe she was here and finally I had found her. I looked into her eyes again and all I could see was how exhausted she was. Then she began to shift back, but I nor anyone else was prepared for what we saw next. her now naked body lay on the ground, her energy spent and her body covered in hundreds of scars and fresh bruises.
I quickly sprang into action and ran to Andrea while removing my jacket to wrap around her and hide her body from all the eyes that were staring in utter shock.
"we are going to kill that bastard" I growled as I made my way back into the hospital not caring that everyone was now staring at me confused. I took her back to the room she had been in before and laid her on the bed being sure the jacket still covered her battered body.
I could feel my hands shaking as Rich and his parents walked into the room with a few other Alphas behind them.
"Declan what's going on?" Rich of coarse asked questions first. I continued pacing as I looked to make sure the girl was still there, still real."Declan?" he asked again and this time I look up and stoped pacing.
"I know...I know who she is. Her wolf. it has to be her." I knew I sounded crazy but all I could think about was calling my father and getting him here now.
"Declan, who is she? who do you think she is?" this time Jinny asked. confused and trying to understand like everyone else. I tried to un-jumble all the thoughts and emotions bouncing around in my head as I looked at her. "I need a phone" I stated not answering her question. She gave me a questioning look still confused about my babbling and pacing. " I need to call my father, and he needs to get here, Now." I stated making it clear it was important. She nodded her head and handed over the cell phone. I dialed the number not even needing to think before punching them in and hit send. I decided to put the phone on speaker so everyone will stop looking at me like I'm crazy. After a few rings I heard the phone pick up and his voice carry threw the speaker.
"who is this?" I was kind of shocked for a moment untill I remembered this wasn't my phone.
"Dad it's Declan." I said trying to keep my voice from wavering but failing.
"Declan what's wrong? who's phone are you calling from?"he asked sounding a bit less rough but I could tell his guard was up. he could hear my voice faltering.
"Dad you need to come to the Full Moon pack now. They've called an alpha council,we are all here and you now need to be to." I stated still trying and failing to keep my voice steady as I prepared for the answer to his next question.
"Why do I need to be at an alphas council son. I don't understand you are alpha now." I could his his frustration not understanding what I'm getting at.
"Dad you need to get here because I've found her. She is here, Dad!" my voice was almost a whisper and for a moment I thought he had hung up. but then his voice rang thru again no longer frustrated, but now had a slight tremble in his voice.
"who Declan? I need you to tell me who's there?" my dad's voice was quiet but we heard every word he said.
"Clarissa, Dad. I've found Clarissa," everyone's eyes widened in shock when they heard the pained growl coming through the phone. still confused about the whole situation.
"Are you sure its her?" he asked voice raised with the slightest bit of hope.
"I saw her shift. she's golden, she shares our eyes father, and she is no doubt a pure blooded alpha." now everyone was gasping starting to piece it all together.
"Has full moon been hiding her all this time? I will kill them a....." I cut him off before he could finish.
"Father no! full moon saved her. She's the reason the emergency council meeting was called. someone has been hurting her, but it wasn't them," once again his angered growl ripped threw the phones speaker and brought everyone to their knees but me.
"Declan I am on my way. do not leave your sisters side until I get there." and with that he hung up. I went to give Jinny her phone back only for her eyes to be filled with tears of realization.
"The Alphas daughter? " she softly cried out waiting for my confirmation. I simply nodded my head and walked to her bedside putting my hand on her slightly bruised cheek. she looked so worn down, so small and fragile it broke me. " Someone needs to tell me exactly what happened, and who did this. we will be going to war, and the bastards responsible will die," I spoke quietly but they could hear the tension behind my voice. No one gets to harm an alphas daughter and get away with it. No one gets to harm my baby sister and live.
Alpha Darius pov.
I have always been knows as a man of his his word, and for my calm demeanor even when I'm angry but the news of my daughter being found and the fact she was hurt was just to much anger to keep within. I'm currently on a jet, trying to get to full moon territory as soon as possible. I need to see it with my own eyes. need to see her with my own eyes. I haven't laid eyes on my beautiful girl since a few days after she was born. I have searched high and low, but was never able to find her.
It was a wonderful day, the day she was born. The moment we laid eyes on her was the moment we fell in love. she was so tiny. much smaller then Declan when he was born. My mate bragged about her being correct that she would be a girl. I didn't believe her on account of the fact that alphas have been unable to produce female offspring in over a hundred years, but there she was. our miracle baby. my little girl. Our little girl! I still remember the first time I held her. she wrapped her little hand around my finger and never let go.
we were such proud parents, and Declan was a very excited big brother. He wanted a little brother to rough house with but he said being little Clarissa's protector was also just fine with him. we overheard him telling her he would always be her hero, no matter how annoying she grew up to be. we chuckled when he said that and couldn't wait to watch them grow up to annoy one another, and to watch Declan being the overbearing big brother we both knew he would be, but none of it ever happened.
Clarissa was taken when she was just three days old. I remember walking into the nursery and my beautiful mate bleeding out on the floor. she had tried to stop the kidnapping but they caught her by surprise and stabbed her. Everyone in our pack and the surrounding packs looked for her, but it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I had to mourn not just one love, but two. My beautiful rays of sunshine and they were just gone.
when Declan called me I didn't believe it, shes alive after all this time? what are the chances of finding her now? But when he told me of her wolf I had no more doubts. it has to be my sweet Clarissa. I don't yet know the whole story of how she was found or who hurt her and how badly. but I can say when I do find out, their pack will run red with blood. They will pay for taking away this Alphas daughter!
Alpha Richard pov.
I stood still listening to the phone call between Declan and his legendary father, former alpha Darius. Why is he legendary you ask? well we no longer follow a royal as this is the twenty first century, but if we did Alpha Darius would be the king we followed. His bloodline is 100% pure alpha. His bloodline is the last of the former royal family before they decided to step down and rule by alpha councils. They thought pack wars would lessen if the alphas had a bigger part of making the rules and decisions.
about eighteen years he also became something else. the first alpha in over a hundred years to produce a daughter. No one knows why but it has basically become unheard of for an alpha to have a daughter. alphas have only been able to produce sons, so when news spread of his mate giving birth to a baby girl the alphas and other packs were elated. she would surely bring power and amazing Luna qualities to a very lucky pack one day.
That is untill a few days later news spread that the baby girl had been stolen. Many packs worked with Alpha Darius to find the baby girl, but unfortunately she was never found. some power hungry wolf killed alpha Darius mate and took the First, and still the only alphas daughter in over a century. he became closed off and very guarded when it came to associating with other packs. Not knowing what happened to her destroyed him, and now here she is. lying in a hospital bed in my pack. Beaten and abused, but alive. one thing is for sure. Alpha Judson and his pack better be ready, because there is no way Darius or Damon will let them live after he finds out what they have done to her. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Damon clears his throat
"so Richard, are you going to tell me what happened to my baby sister?" he asked. I run my hands through my hair wondering if I should tell him now or wait for his father to arrive but my dad must have read my mind because he answered first.
"Alpha Damon, perhaps we should wait to debrief you all untill your father arrives. That way she doesn't have to keep reliving it. I know she's asleep but she usually doesn't sleep more than an hour or two at a time and I'm sure your father won't want to leave her side once he arrives,"Damon looks up at my father and nods his head before looking back to Andrea, or Clarissa. I guess we will have to ask her whick name she prefers once she knows everything. My mother walks over and puts a hand on Damon's shoulder while looking at the small sleeping girl.
"One thing is for sure, she's a fighter. Just like your mom was," Damon looked to my mom with what looked like a sheen of tears in his eyes before swiftly turning back to look at Andrea. Almost like he was afraid she would disappear if he looses away for to long. I knew he had lost a sister when he was young, but I never knew just how big of a deal it was untill now seeing him stare at her that way.
"Well alphas, maybe we should all step out and give Damon some time with his sister while we wait for Darius and the other alphas to arrive." They all nod their heads in agreement and start walking out of the medical room. My mom grabs Andreas hand and gives it a soft squeeze before turning to exit but stops and looks to see her hand being held onto by Andrea in her sleep.
"guess that means your staying here,"Damon says with an amused grin on his face. my mom looks at me and nods letting me know she's staying with them. I nod back and exit the room with the other Alphas.
"Your mom staying with her?" my dad asks knowingly. She feels so protective over Andrea. understandably so. It's a Luna's job to care for her pack members well being, and my mom was one of the best. .
"Yeah, Andrea had ahold of her hand. Even in her sleep she's comfortable with mom."my dad chuckles but I can see the look of pride in his face. He loves my mom and her caring nature.
"Richard," I turn around just in time to catch my mate as she tackles me in a hug. I wrap her in my arms and bury my nose in her neck. Her smell instantly calms the anger I have been holding onto all night.
"Thank the goddess your here." I whisper hugging her close and then letting go to peck her lips.
"So what's going on? why have you called us all here? Is it your time if the month again Rich?" I look up to see my good friend Alpha Landon of the Breaking Dawn pack. He went threw Alpha training the same time I did. We use to get into so much trouble together, but we also made a good team. Landon is a great alpha. He is strick but still a jokester with his closest friends. His pack is known for being the one of the strongest around. men and women all receive at least basic combat training just in case of a surprise attack and his warriors are some of the best. If not the best, and he feels the same way about females being taken advantage of as I do.
"Hey Landon, and no. We are waiting for former Alpha Darius to arrive before briefing everyone," I tell him as we shake hands. He gives me a curious look.
"Darius is coming? why isn't Damon coming?" Alpha Malik asked as he approached us.
"Damon is already here. Darius is on his way because this matter concerns him as well," I tell him an his face shifts to one of concern.
"If Damon is here where is he? I don't see him, and why are we gathered in the hospital lobby?" Landon asks glancing around the room curious.
"He's in the hospital room with..." before I can tell him what's going on I'm cut off by the bang of a door being forcefully shoved open .
"Where is she?" Alpha Darius yells as he enters the lobby. you can tell how on edge he is just by looking at him. his hands are balled into fists and his face is one of worry and rage.
"Where is who?" Asks alpha Malik looking at Darius. Darius looks at him with a slight glare "My daughter," He states and Mara, Landon, and malik all gasp in surprise as they weren't yet here when that was revealed earlier.
"Darius follow me and I will take you to her," my dad chimed in. Darius nodded his head and followed behind heading to Andreas room.
"You found Clarissa?" Alpha Malik asked.for a moment I was surprised he knew her name but then I remembered. he's older then us. he was probably my age when the search for her took place. And if I remember correctly Malik and Darius use to be good friends before everything happened. His brown hair is mixed with gray now beginning to show his age and his brown eyes looking at me as thou I had the answers.
"She goes by Andrea, but yes." I tell him and I can see relief and a million other questions arise. I know everyone has questions. we will talk once Darius is ready for us to come back. then I look up and see my dad walking towards us.
"Alright everyone he wants to know what happened so let's go." my dad announced. we all slowly make our way to her hospital room. I take deep breaths preparing myself for the wrath and anger that is about to commence.
