The Luna Behind The Chains

Chapter 5 - Fuming 2

Damion’s POV

I woke up at 5am. Today we head out for Crimson Falls. I get up, jump in the shower and head down to my office. *Pritchard, Evan are you up* I link my Beta and Gamma *Yes sire, we were just briefing the head warriors on their assignments and we have the paperwork we need to leave for Alurian and Beth.* they link back. *Okay good, head to my office when you have finished up. We need to leave as soon as possible as I would like to head onto the road and get to Crimson Falls as early as possible and it is a 3 and a half hr drive as you know* I tell them and close the link. I check my emails for a few minutes and then turn on my out of office and set up that anything important that I receive is forwarded to the beta account that Beth and Alurian have access to. I check the clock and see that it is now half five. I decide to ring the Alpha’s of Crimson Falls knowing they would be awake already.

“Hello sire everything is ready for your arrival as per usual. Is there anything you would like us to get sorted for you when you arrive?” Harry says, answering the call. I know it's Harry because he has a slightly gruffer voice than Grant.

“Hello Harry, no we will pick up breakfast on our way. I am just calling to let you know we will be there around half 9, how’re things up in Crimson Falls.” I responded.

“Actually we do have some updates. Alpha heir Preston of Red Moon pack contacted us yesterday asking for sanctuary for his sister and an omega.” they report to me.

“Red Moon, that's Alpha Caleb's Pack. I thought his daughter died of a rogue attack 13 years ago? I have already received some reports regarding him from his Beta which is one of the reasons I am travelling earlier this year.” I told them.

“That’s what everyone was under the assumption too, including her brother until yesterday. He was actually on his way to see the Beta with a report he compiled to bring to your attention. But on his way he found Alesha, an omega, which is another thing we will tell you about when you arrive. He questioned Alesha why she was heading to the old dungeons in the pack house and she couldn’t fully explain due to an alpha command on her, but he went down and that's when he discovered his sister had been down there for 13 years. 13 years sire, you should see her, she is so underweight and he gave her wolfsbane. Miraculously her wolf is still alive but she is in a coma. We had our delta look her over when she arrived last night and his report is disturbing. You can see for yourself when you get here. We told them all of your arrival today so they are aware you will want to speak to them yourself.” Grant tells me.

I had to take a minute to process all of that information and then respond to them “that poor young wolf. Yes you are correct I do need to talk to them when I arrive. This is implorable, how dare an alpha take advantage of his own family and pack as such.” There was a knock on my door then. “My Beta and Gamma have arrived. I will see you in a few hours. Thanks for the heads up.” I end the call and tell Prichard and Evan to come in. “I just got off the Phone with Harry and Grant, they told me some disturbing news. The Alpha of Red Moon, Caleb, had locked his daughter in the dungeon for 13 years.” I tell them matter of factly.

“WHAT!” they both exclaimed.

“Yes, exactly, so we best move out as soon as possible. I need to gather as much information as I can before he tries to do anything. I will explain what they told me in the car as if I sit here thinking about it anymore I will shift and run straight to Red Moon and deal with the Alpha right now” I say to them.

We headed down to the cars, the royal warrior convoy was in place. We head into our SUV, Pritchard gets into the drivers seat, I head into the passenger and Evan gets in the back. I don't usually use a driver if both my Gamma and Beta are coming with me. Once we set off, I gave them the run down of what Harry and Grant reported to me.

“Wait, hold up, he kept her in a dungeon since she was 5! HIS OWN PUP! That's disgusting. That girl is probably scared out of her mind. We need to deal with this Alpha as soon as he does not deserve that title.” Evan says, outraged at the situation.

“That is deplorable, how could you hurt your own pup like that, especially your own daughter. The moon goddess put measures in place to ensure a wolf can’t hurt their own pup. Maybe his wolf returned to the goddess when he lost his mate?” Pritch starts to think about this in the level headed way I know my beta to be.

“I know it's disgusting but I can’t just go for him for this as this is not the only crime he has been accused of that has been recently brought to my attention and I believe it is also linked to the report Preston has created to bring to my attention. Caleb's days are numbered, it's just a matter of time when I give him the punishment he deserves. Right now we need to get as much evidence from Preston and Isabelle about their experiences and hopefully Preston can give me more than what the Beta has sent me.” I looked at them both and they both had the same question lingering in their eyes. “Yes, he seems to be involved in the trafficking ring. I dont know how deep, hence why I can't just go and punish him. This is a mess and it needs to be cleaned up. I cant have Alpha’s abusing their power. I also need food, this has been a long morning already and it is not even 8am yet.” I groan. *We need to destroy all of these cruel Alpha’s who don’t deserve the title and packs they have been given to look after.* Kes growls at me. *I know Kes, this is a shitshow.* I told him.

We pull up to the breakfast drive thru, grab some food and carry on with our journey. We pass the time just chatting about pack business until we get to Crimson Falls. When we arrive 3 warriors take the cars to park up and the rest of us go into the pack house. 4 of the warriors know where they will be staying and training as they have been with this pack a few times to this pack and so they ask for them all to take their leave and get settled. I look to Harry and Grant and they said it was fine so I allowed them to do so. We then proceeded to go into their office and they gave me a more detailed run down of what they discovered the night before.

What they told me solidified my thoughts on this alpha. Kestrow and I were so worked up and angry that I told them all we needed to go for a run before meeting Isabelle, her brother and (I was surprised about this) the omega Alesha. So, I leave the office and head to the back of the pack house, strip and shift into Kes.
