Chapter 51
Tori POV
When I woke up this morning, I felt so well-rested. I got up to head to the bathroom to do my business, and then I took a long hot shower. I thought about last night how the pack got along so well with Cole's pack - well, excuse me, my sister, and her mate's pack. I got really nervous when Packer and Cord walked up to them.
"Congratulations, Rachel, on finding your mate. I hope he makes you really happy," she smiled at them and then said, "Thanks, guys. I hope the two of you are happy as well. Maybe you all could come to the pack once we are moved in and settled and eat dinner?" They talked for a few hours, laughing and joking around. It was like nothing had happened. But what I think it was is that they were truly happy with their mates, so why bring up the past?
When I got out of the shower, I dried off, and then I got dressed. I was about to head downstairs to my office to see what I needed to do when I heard my phone ringing. Who in the world is calling so early in the morning? Looking down, I saw it was Cheyenne. Something must be wrong. I hurried to answer it.
"Hey, Mom. Why are you calling so early? Is everything okay? Is everything okay with Dad and my brothers? What about everyone else?" That's when she told me about the rogue attack. Son of a b***h, a ****ing attack from the rogues. I told her that Rachel and I will be there in a few minutes. She said we didn't have to come, but I told her we are coming. I mindlinked Rachel and told her what happened and to meet me outside. I ran to the office and told Bear what had happened. He stood up and said he was coming. I nodded, and we hurried outside where I saw my sister and her mate. We got into the car and sped off. I didn't think we could get there any faster, but Bear showed me wrong. We went down the backroads where we knew there were no cops around. We got there in thirty minutes. Bear wasn't even fully stopped when I jumped out of the car. I was looking around for Dad. Where was my father? Is he okay? I swear I will go off the deep end if my dad got hurt. Rachel hurried over to me.
"Calm down. Dad might not be hurt. But calm down, everyone can feel how on edge you are." I knew she was right, so I took a few deep breaths to calm down. It helped just a little bit. Bear and Cole joined us as we hurried to the pack house to find my brothers. I knew Bryce was home. I think he was home to stay this time. I guess Isaiah knew we were here because we heard his voice.
"We are in the family room, come join us." So, we went to the family room. Dad was sitting in his chair while Isaiah was to his left, Mom was to his right, and Bryce was standing behind him. It was like he was protecting Dad. I ran over there, giving everyone tight hugs, then said, "So, what actually happened? Is everyone okay?"
"Dad and I were in a meeting with Alpha Greg. He was wanting a treaty with us, so we were talking about it when we heard screaming and someone yelling 'rogues'. We haven't had a rogue problem in years until last night. I have a feeling who it was, but they were after the family. They killed a few members. We had them buried today the traditional way. After Ava went on a shooting spree, killing all the rogues, I still felt like we were being watched. I think it was Kevin, and if it was him, you all know what I'm going to do. He will not survive. He came after my family. I'm sorry, son, but the Alpha in me is out. I'm not asking for you to step aside because I'm still retired. But once the battle starts, I'm going to be sniffing him out."
"Dad, it's cool. You were the mafia king before I was even thought of. I understand."
Actually, no, you don't. I'm not telling you to step down; that's what I'm saying. However, I will be in control when it's time to head to the battle arena. I won't deal with people coming after my family when they want me dead. I'm going to send him a message. Well, I have already done that.
"What message is that, Dad?" I gave a smirk. "Oh, let's just say he's sleeping in it right now."
Kevin's Point of View:
At first, I thought I was dreaming. Something wet at my feet, I thought I was in water or standing in water. That's what it felt like, but nothing was moving around. I slowly opened my eyes, yawning. Last night was crazy, but we did it. We sent Mercury a message, letting him know to be ready. I really felt uncomfortable. What in the hell is going on? When I moved my feet, I heard something hiss. "What the fu*k?" I slowly lifted the blankets up - snakes, lots of them! Where the fu*k did they come from? They were all in my bed, hissing and striking at me. I jumped out of my bed before I got bit and started screaming at the top of my lungs. My new beta came rushing into my room. He jumped back when he saw the snakes, then looked up at me.
"Who the hell did this?"
"Oh, I've got a feeling who did it. I just need to figure out who he paid to do it so I can kill them. That son of a bit*h."
