The Moon Valley Pack

Chapter 17: Strategy meeting

*** Josh POV ***

                “Sir, I can’t continue to live like this! Every single morning this man,” Connor said begrudgingly

looking at Jacob. “Is working on his car. Once he’s done fixing up whatever itis on the vehicle, he starts it

up and it is so loud that he wakes me up! I have a new baby at home, I already stay up late having to

take care of her then she wakes up again when he turns on his engine. I want him to fix it at a different

location, have a mechanic fix it or start doing it later in the day so my daughter and I can have a peaceful

nights sleep.” Connor ended his rant.

                I looked over at Jacob who just looks bored to be here. His hair is shoulder length and scruffy.

His clothes have grease stains on them either he’s a full-time mechanic or he just doesn’t care about his

appearance. “Mr. Jacob, what do you have to say about that?”

                “I say that’s utter bullsh*t. My car isn’t loud enough to wake up anyone, and if it is then why

haven’t the other omegas said something too?”

                “THEY HAVE!! They’ve said something to your face and they only didn’t say something to

Gamma Nguyen because they appointed me to do so which we are doing now!” Connor turned to Jacob

and yelled.

                “Mr. Connor please calm down. We are here to look into the matter, but I will not sit here while

you two yell about this. If that is how you wish to conduct the matter, then please take it home and deal

with it that way there.” I look him in the eye and state. He bows his head.

                “Yes Gamma. I apologize.”

                “Good, now Mr. Jacob. While normally I would go over to the location and look or listen to the

item in question. However, even I have been able to hear it from the packhouse. Which means that it is

entirely too loud especially for your direct neighbors. Now, I think Mr. Connor’s suggestions are fair. He

doesn’t want you to stop working your car, he just wants you to do it quietly. Are you able to finish

working on the car that way?”

                “No way man. The car is made to be loud, not as loud as he’s describing but loud nonetheless,

and that’s how I like it. I’m not changing a thing.” Jacob crossed his arms and glared at me.

                “Normally I would give you the options that I think would be considered fair, but since you are

showing lack of respect towards me just now and towards your neighbors I am ordering you to complete

the work for your vehicle elsewhere or not at all, effective immediately.” Jacob jumped up.

                “WHAT THE F*CK! That’s not fair to me, what about my wants? They’re not being considered

here at all! This is F*CKING BULLSH*T!” I slowly stood and walked around the desk.

                “If you EVER speak to me like that again you will wish that you’d never been born. I AM YOUR

GAMMA! You will do as you are commanded of or you will face the consequences! Now because of your

Serious disrespect you will be on twice-a-days for a month. I will be speaking with Harry and Eddie to

make sure they are aware. If you miss or are late to even one session, I will make it two months. Now,

both of you get out of my office NOW!” They scrambled out and shut the door. I sat down at my desk

and closed my eyes while rubbing my temples.

                I reopened my eyes as my phone rang, I saw that it Scar, “Hello, my love.”

                “Josh, I need you to come to the bar, please. Something happened and I need you to be here

with me.” That immediately put me on edge.

                “What happened?” I asked while getting my things ready.

                “It’s… hard to explain over the phone. I need you to come here and I can explain it in person,

please.” She pleads.

                “Ok, I’m on my way.” I hang up and I grab my BMW keys and speed over to Scar and Gen’s bar.

                “Are you ok, my love? What happened?” I stepped out of the car and went over and took her

hand. I brought it to my mouth and kissed it. I was shocked at the damage of the bar behind her, and

this caused Poseidon to growl loudly.

                   I want the head of whoever did this NOW!

                     Calm down, Poseidon, we need to figure out what happened first so we can find out who did it.

                “There was a flower delivery for Gen today. Beast took it and later stated that it was heavier and

different than normal flowers, but since he doesn’t typically purchase flowers, he didn’t think anything

of it. So, I called Gen to let her know about the flowers and when I read her the note, she screamed for

me to get out. Beast heard her screaming on the phone and grabbed me and ran out the front door. We

just barely made it when a bomb went off, it was disguised as the flowers. I had a lot of cuts and burns

that Gen healed with her abilities. So, now we’re waiting for the police to release us.”

Hearing what happened made my blood boil. I couldn’t believe that someone would send a

bomb for Genevieve and that Scar was caught in the crossfires. It was even more strange that the

flowers were delivered when Gen wasn’t there “What did the card say?”

                “It said ‘Congratulations on your new job Genevieve, I hear beer goes really well with barbecue.

I hope you like it too, my queen.’ We figured out that it was Gen’s ex, Tanner since apparently, he was

the only one to call her his queen.”

                I stayed quiet just thinking while Scar and Beast were released from questioning to be able to go

home. Once they were done, I took both Scar and Beast back to the packhouse. I wanted them to still

get checked out which they did and were given the all clear. While we were waiting in the hospital in

came Jojo, Sebastian and Eddie who looked a little freaked.

                “Hey man, you good?” I ask Eddie.

                “I’m not really sure man.” He then proceeds to tell me the events that occurred today. My mind

went completely blank and I didn’t know how to respond to news like this.

                “D*mn man, well I’m really sorry that happened, but at least you were able to be brought back.“

After we were done, I took Scar up to our bedroom to rest while I waited to talk to the guys. We

needed to have a meeting about this and quick.

                About twenty minutes later Harry, Jack and Gen walked in and Jack looked pissed. Good, I

thought, I need someone who’s just as angry as I am.

                “Darlin’ why don’t you just go and lay down some more, ok? I need to have a meetin’ with the

guys and our dads.”

                “I’ll go lay down, but I think you should call my dad too. He could offer some insight into this

entire situation too I’m sure.” She stated. “Not only for his being with a goddess, but also because he’s a

spy.”

                I was blown away by this. I had no idea, well I guess that’s the point of his job though, I think to

myself.

                “Ok, Darlin’, I’ll give him a call.” Jack said while nudging Gen toward the staircase. With each

step that Gen took jack’s breathing became more erratic and enraged. As soon as she was gone, he

turned to myself and I saw that Harry, Eddie, Sebastian and Beast were there. “Sebastian call all of our

dads. I’m goin’ to call Gen’s father. I want a meetin’ today, no exceptions!” Then walked away to make

the call.

                An hour later and all the fathers, Gen’s included, had arrived. All the ranked members, fathers

and guards were in a conference room together.

                “Jack, may I ask why I am here?” Kane looked around and asked.

                “It has come to my attention that you have a certain set of skills due to your work. Is that

correct?” Jack asked him. Kane tensed up hearing that his job is as secret as he would like it to be.

                “What does my job have to do with anything?”

                “Well, Mr. Murphy some things happened today that we need to have a strategy meeting for

how to move forward with this and Gen thought that you might be useful.” Sebastian chimed in.

                “Useful how? What happened?” Kane asked leaning forward letting us know that we have his

undivided attention.

                “Well, we weren’t there the entire time so I’m goin’ to let Harry, Eddie and Beast explain this.”

Jack then gestured for the three guys to start explaining the events.

                It took a while to explain with all the questions being thrown in about if anyone was injured and

what happened to the business or the car, if the girls were ok. By the end of it everyone in the room was

angry, but Gen’s father was on a whole other level of pissed. He was beat red and shaking. He couldn’t

take it anymore and stood up to pace around the space.

                “WHO THE F*CK DID IT?” He yelled at us. “I WANT HIS NAME NOW!!”

                “We suspect that it was Tanner.” I inform him. Hearing this caused him to stop and think some.

                “No, that doesn’t make any sense. I believe that Tanner wants her and he’s willing to do

anything to get her, but it doesn’t make any sense as to why he would send a bomb.” He said while in

thought.

 “Plus, the note is contradictory. Why would he be willing to call her his queen if he’s trying to

kill her?” What Beast said made us all pause and think about it.

                “Maybe, he’s accepted the fact that he’s lost. Genevieve is with Jack now, she’s marked. Maybe

he’s giving us on keeping her for himself and he’d rather kill her than allow her with anyone else.” Eddie

voiced.

                “After one half-assed attempt at kidnapping and years of stalking? No, I don’t buy it.” Hunter,

Jack’s dad, stated.

                “Yes, but then why would someone send a bomb?” Mateo questioned.

                “I have another question. If he’s been stalking her for so long why wouldn’t he know where she

was? The note was addressed to her so obviously it was meant for her and no one else, so why wouldn’t

he know where she was today?” My dad, Aaron, voiced his thoughts aloud. This comment caused Kane

to stop pacing and turn to all three of us ranked members.

                “There’s a very simple explanation to that.” He stated.   

                “And what is that?” Jack asked. I was lost as well.

                “It looks like you have a mole, Alpha. It’s the only logical explanation. No one from the pack

except the people in this room, the ladies, your assistant, and your lawyer know about her being with

the other business. If they did then the flower bomb would’ve been sent to the correct location. They

wanted to make sure the job was finished which is why they did the car as well. That way just in case she

got out and able to get to her car she would be killed that way too.”

                “But a few weeks ago, she was given flower that said congratulations too, but those didn’t blow

up.” Sebastian interjected.

                “Really? That’s curious.” Hunter commented.

                “If those flowers were from Tanner and he was planning on building up to something more then

whoever sent the bomb today knows he sent them and was trying to recreate it. But they only knew

about the bar.” Kane told the group. Hearing that someone was trying to kill his Luna caused Zeus to

come forward.

                “I want to them found NOW!’ He growled.

                “We will Zeus, but in order for us to do that we need Jack to help with strategizing. So, please

allow Jack to have control again.” Zeus took a deep breath then closed his eyes and soon Jack had

control again.

                “Sorry about that, Zeus just couldn’t help but take control.” Jack shook his head. “So, what’s the

play here?”

                “Should we make a list of everyone that was in the packhouse the day you gave Gen the

business?” I asked.

                “No, we don’t know if anyone who has told others in the pack.” Hunter says.

                “Can we figure out where the flowers had come from and determine who had ordered them?”

Sebastian questioned.

                “We can’t do that either. Anything relating to the flowers were destroyed when the bomb went

off.” I replied.

                “Here’s what we’re goin’ to do. We’re goin’ to create an opportunity for the person to do it

again. Obviously, without anyone bein’ in any real danger. We’ll have the girls take a spa day, we’ll make

it seem like this will be the only opportunity to get the girls alone for a while. We’ll need some high tech

items so that we can watch without bein’ detected.” Jack explained to the group.

                “Or I can be invisible…” I offered.

                “I’ll take you up on that for portions of it, but I want to be there too so we’ll still need the tech.”

Jack informed me.

                “Let me make a call.” Kane said while taking his phone out of his pocket and placing the call on

speaker. We all waited, unsure of who Kane was calling.

                “Kane? What’s going on?” The voice on the phone sounded like Jolene’s father.

                “Damion, we need your help.” Kane explained what happened and what our plan is. “I need

some weapons to make it happen.”

                “No problem. I got exactly what you need. Just let me know when it’s happening so I can bring

everyone to my office in advance to train you how to use them. I’ll help you with anything since it

involves our girls.”

“Great. I’ll let you know.” Kane hung up call and put his phone away. “Ok, so now we just need

to set a date.”

                “Wait before this happens what’s goin’ on? How is Damion fittin’ in to all of this? And how does

he have the weapons available?” Jack asked. I’m glad he did, because I was as long as can be.

                “Damion is a weapons dealer. He keeps all kinds of weapons in a facility for himself if the day

comes and he needs something. Its come in real handy on some of my jobs.” Kane responded.

                “Damn. I think we should do it in 2 weeks.” Sebastian said.

                “Yes, son, I agree with you. It will give the mole plenty of time to become secure again.” Mateo

agreed.

“Yes, and we’ll become frustrated then start to talk about how we might have a lead overseas.

We’ll ‘leave’ the girls here for about a week. During that time, they will go to the spa and that is where

we will catch whoever it is that f*cked with my Luna.” Jack told us all. “In the meantime, dad, Mr.

Martinez, Mr. Nguyen.” He said addressing out dads. “I want you to just keep an ear to the ground.

If you hear someone speaking about anything regarding the event of today or possible future events to

cause harm then let us know immediately.” He said using his alpha voice.

“Yes, Alpha.” They all responded.

“Good. You’re all dismissed now. Except you Eddie. I want to speak with you some more.” We all

filed out of the conference room. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on whoever did this. I was gonna f*ck

them up.
