His Terrorised and Tormented Queen

As Charles, Lucifer, Angelica and Lucinda approached the Crescent Moon pack house Theodore was waiting at the door, the first think he said when he addressed the group was “girls how are you?” the girls replied with “much better now we are back on safe ground and very hungry” Theodore gave a slight chuckle at the girls saying “go on inside to the kitchen and get some food” and then looked to the boys and said “come to my office we’ll talk there” Theodore then led Charles and Lucifer to his office and closed the door behind him “Well done boys, where’s Xavier?” Charles immediately replied “he’s back at the hospital, he’s not injured just checking on the wounded” Theodore quickly replied “speaking of wounded how bad is it?” Charles said “no fatalities and 10 wounded but nothing life changing” Theodore raised an eyebrow then asked “and the rogues?” this time Lucifer spoke up and said “we think a few got away but around 90 fatalities Alpha” Theodore looked at him and said “if you had to make an estimate on how many got away how many would you say it was?” Lucifer very confidently said “sir I am sure there was only 10 that got away and that was due to them running whilst we collected the girls, although we aren’t sure if we got the one in charge so more investigation is required. We’ve left Aiden and Damien there to maintain the situation.” Theodore nodded and said “well for a first mission with only a handful of warriors and trackers from each pack that’s pretty good going especially when you got all three girls back to safe ground too, lets hope that the one in charge is among the dead but keep me informed with the investigation.” Lucifer then proceeded to ask as Gideon knocked on the door and proceeded to enter the office behind them “how is Ellanna?” Gideon didn’t hesitate to reply “she’s unconscious and the doctor doesn’t know when she’s going to wake up. She was brutally tortured and it looks like they used silver weapons to do so, she might have scars” Lucifer looked at Gideon with wide eyes and said “do her wounds really look that bad?” Gideon just nodded, Theodore trying to lighten the mood said “right for now lets go to the kitchen and get the Luna to sort you boys some food, you must be famished” with that they all headed for the kitchen.

Aiden, Damien and a few of the other packs members were still in the Waning Moon pack territory, Aiden looked at Damien and said “not sure how we managed to draw the short straw for this clean up operation, I notice that Ben got out of it” Damien chuckled and replied “look at it as Beta duties, oh and I wouldn’t exactly say he got out of it Charles has him on baby sitting duty until we know if Ellanna’s brother can be trusted or not. Personally I’d rather be out here doing the clean up” Aiden started to chuckle too at hearing this “yep I’d rather be here doing something too. Well lets get these bodies lined up to take pictures then we can burn the bodies and get home ourselves, hopefully we can find out who these guys were. What do you think rows of 5?” Damien took a minute to think and answered “let’s see if we can get 10 in a picture first, if that doesn’t work then we will do 5 in a row and if you take half and I’ll do half so we can get this done quicker” Aiden nodded then with a sigh said “let’s get this over with” and they got to work. They ended out having to take the pictures with 5 in a row as the faces or what was left of them weren’t very clear with 10 in a row. Once they had the pictures they needed they burnt the bodies and then gave orders for the pack members to head back home whilst they headed to the Crescent Moon pack to meet with their future Alpha’s and best friends. Upon arrival they were asked to send the pictures to Alpha Theodore, Alpha Raphael and Alpha Edmond for the official higher ranks to identify due to having access to resources that they didn’t have access to yet.

 Damien stayed with Lucifer and Aiden headed over to the infirmary to check-in with Xavier but as he approached the room he’d been told to go to he saw Benjamin so he stopped to speak to him “hows it going?” Benjamin with a bored tone said “absolutely f*****g fantastic, I can think of about things I’d much rather be going than be here baby sitting an unconscious teen” Aiden chuckled and said “I bet none of them include being in the hospital either. Hows Ellanna?” Benjamin sighed and said “as far as I know she’s still unconscious but dude she looks like she went through hell and back. Xav’s in there with her now, he hasn’t left her since he got here” as Benjamin finished his sentence they heard movement from inside Elijah’s room Aiden looked at him and asked “did you hear that?” Benjamin nodded and said “yeah, best to check it out” Aiden nodded in reply. Benjamin slowly and carefully open the door to the room to see Elijah sat up warily looking around the room. When Elijah spotted Benjamin and Aiden at the door he looked panicked for a few moments then his expression changed to one of anger, Aiden spoke up first “you finally woke up. what’s your name as we can’t keep calling you Ellanna’s brother” Elijah didn’t answer he just remained sat there staring at them. Without breaking eye contact Benjamin said to Aiden “can you pop in the next room and check the status in there?” Aiden understood immediately and went to Ellanna’s room to either see if Ellanna was awake or if Xavier would be able to get the answers they wanted. Aiden knocked on the door and waited for an answer, Xavier came to the door and asked him “Aide what can I do for you?” Aiden wasn’t sure if Ellanna was awake yet so quietly said “Xav Ellanna’s brother is awake but won’t tell us his name, we were hoping that either you or Ellanna could get him to speak to us” Xavier sighed and stepped out of the room and quietly closed the door behind him then said “Ellanna’s still unconscious, I’ll see if I can help but I don’t want to be away from her for long. I’m pretty sure she’s my mate now so I don’t want her to wake alone” Aiden nodded and they made their way into Elijah’s room. Xavier looked at Elijah and said “guys can you step out the room a minute so I can speak to him quickly” Benjamin and Aiden hesitated for a moment and then proceeded to leave the room but before they closed the door behind them Aiden said “Alpha we will be just outside if you need us” Xavier nodded in response and they closed the door. Xavier remained looking at Elijah and then said “ok so from one Alpha to another it would help to know your name” Elijah scoffed and snappily said “what makes you think I’m an Alpha?” Xavier took a breath in frustration then replied “I know your parents were the Alpha and Luna of the Waning Moon pack, I don’t know what you’ve been through and Ellanna hasn’t told us anything of what she went through before she came here 3 years ago but I am aware that the current Alpha’s of these packs know some of what happened. Knowing your name would be helpful” Xavier didn’t fail to notice that when he’d said Ellanna’s name that Elijah scowled, Elijah was silent again for a moment then he said “why don’t you just get my sister to tell you my name” Xavier couldn’t believe how bratty Elijah was being but calmly replied “she’s still unconscious and has been for the last 5 hours” Elijah smirked and said “good, hopefully she’ll stay that way” Xavier shot Elijah a look of disbelief and said before turning to leaving the room “if it hadn’t been for your sister you probably would have been killed like the rest of the rogues you were with instead of being unconscious, maybe she shouldn’t have bothered” as Xavier was exiting the room Elijah said “yea she cares that much that she left me when I was 7 on my own, she cares so much when she was the one who made me unconscious in the first place” Xavier left the room closing the door behind him and addressed Benjamin and Aiden “I think he’s going to be trouble. He seems to resent Ellanna for the past and isn’t happy that she’s the one who knocked him out, he still wouldn’t give me his name” both Benjamin and Aiden looked at Xavier wide eyed at this information and Benjamin asked Xavier “what do you think we should do with him then” Xavier simply said before entering Ellanna’s room again “ask Charles” then Xavier was gone. Benjamin mind-linked Charles explaining the situation with Elijah and Charles responded with “get the doctor to look him over and if he can leave then take him to a cell, there has to be a reason that Ellanna only knocked him out, I didn’t realise she had it in her to over power someone I wonder how she did it?” Benjamin simply replied “yes Alpha” then proceeded to enter Elijah’s room again. Aiden decided to remain with Benjamin until they had successfully locked Elijah in a cell.
