Gamma Jack I don't know what that dickheads playing at but the hollow feeling in my stomach isn't helping. Why the fuck would he let the women out of the safe room and take Kelly? Why would he say he's a warrior and that Ash linked him when he's not one nor can he link anyone? Hell, he's not even a member of the pack. "Ash I want you to go and check your floor just in case they are there and there's some fucked up explanation for this behavior. Take Jack and a couple of warriors with you." Cal's in Alpha mode and ready to issue out orders. "Ok Alpha." Ash sends him a nod before looking my way. "Tom and Jason you're with us." The guys nod my way before falling into line behind Ashley and me. "She had better be up here, I don't care what his explanation is, I just need her to be there Jack." My mate's sad look breaks my fucking heart and I wish I could promise him that she is there but we both know that there's a good chance that she's not. "Whatever happens we will find her Ash.
Gamma Jack My heart is pounding so goddam hard that I'm struggling to breathe. I'm fucking fuming and ready to kill! We've searched the entire pack house and pack lands twice but there's no sign of Kelly or Matthew, my mate is barely holding on and that's just adding to my anger. Cal links everyone to meet in the kitchen and we head straight back there as fast as our legs can take us. Everyone looks worried and more than anything they look pissed. Everyone here has quickly become attached to both of them but Kelly more than anything. "What's the plan Alpha?" Warren one of our top warriors asks the moment he sees everyone has arrived in the kitchen. He has a better bond with Kelly than most. He was the one to get her away from her mother's pack and they formed a bond before she even got back to our pack. "We are going to split up into groups and search the woods, the smallest clue could lead us to them so be vigilant. Warren you will take a group to the north side. Jack and Ashley
Gamma Ashley The moment I see the blood on the forest floor my fucking heart feels like it's going to stop beating at any moment. There's not a lot of blood there but the idea of my baby sister bleeding in any way is just unacceptable! "Ok guys let's look around for any more clues or blood. Don't go too far out without checking in with me or Gamma Ashley first." Jack's straight into action even if it's clear to see that this has knocked him to. "We are going to find her Ash." He gives me a firm no-nonsense look but I'm struggling here. hell, Jack was the one freaking out not even 5 minutes ago and now it's completely flipped and I'm the one having a meltdown. "Jack there's blood. BLOOD!" The moment I realize that I'm yelling I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I'm slowly losing my shit but the last thing I want to do is to take it out on Jack. "I'm sorry baby, I don't mean to shout at you." While one part of me wants to tear everything to pieces the other part of me wants t
Gamma Ashley After miles of searching, we came across a wooden cabin in the middle of nowhere, it looked worn and abandoned and the perfect place to keep someone, hostage. Most of the windows are boarded up and the old-style porch that's running around the entire cabin has missing planks of wood and the support rail is pretty much hanging off. Yeah, this place hasn't been lived in for a very long time. Jack sent a couple of warriors ahead to scout out the area around the cabin before we arrived, and thankfully there only appear to be 4 wolves standing guard outside although we don't know how many are inside. But it doesn't really matter as Cal has pulled everyone from their searching parties and had them come here ready to get in the cabin and get my dad and sister out, well I hope they are both in there anyway. With everyone here, we have a shit load of wolves ready to fight and way more wolves than they could ever fit in that place. Jack and I are stationed at one side of the bu
Gamma Jack Arriving at Ashley and Liam's side I'm curious as to what it is that Liam found, it couldn't be Kelly or I'm sure he would have said. I see them both down on their haunches looking inside what appears to be a dog crate. What the hell? I kneel next to Ashley only to see that a little girl is sitting in the cage next to a puppy. She only looks about 5 years old, she is filthy dirty, insanely skinny, and looks like she can't even stand. Fuck! my heart pounds as I realize that her eyes are closed and I pray that she's not dead. Cal quickly appears at my side leans down and puts his fingers through the holes in the cages and checks for a pulse while I feel my own pulse pound away. "She's got a pulse, it's weak but it's there!" He almost cries out with relief. "Oh thank fuck!" I breathe out. There's a lock on the front of the cage but that doesn't stop Cal as he gets a firm grip on it and yanks it off. The little girl must be out pretty bad as she doesn't even stir and that'
Gamma Ashley Cal steps into the corridor and slowly heads back out the way we came but the closer we get to the exit the louder the noises become. Kelly's hold on me tightens and I know she is scared and that alone is enough to have me instantly angry once again. Fuck these assholes need to pay for what they have done to my sister and the other children that they have clearly kept in here. What the fuck are they thinking? Hell, they can't be thinking because there are no reasons or explanations in the world that would make this ok. "We're almost there baby girl," I whisper in her ear but it doesn't do a dam thing to calm her down and I can't blame her, I don't know what hell she has been through while she has been here but I do know that she hasn't been having a tea party or playing princesses. By some miracle, we make it back to the room without any problems and quickly head for the window that we originally come through. We could get out of here a different way but we're not sure
Gamma Ashley "Yesss! I win again!" Kelly bounces to her feet doing her own little happy dance at beating us in monopoly again. "There's no way you can be this good bubble gum, you have to be cheating somehow," Liam whines. He literally whines like a 4-year-old and it has us all in stitches. He doesn't really care if he wins or loses but Kelly loves when he acts like he's grumpy when he does lose and It's now become their thing. It makes her smile every time and I love him for it. "Why do you always call me bubblegum?" She stops her dance and walks over to him while she blows a bubble out of her mouth with the strawberry gum that she's been chewing for the last half hour. Honestly, how the girl doesn't know the answer to that question I will never know. "Because you've always got bubble gum in your mouth silly." I watch the moment she realizes that it was a silly question to ask and I chuckle out a laugh when she throws her head back laughing. "Your too cute for your own good miss
Gamma Ashley 4 weeks earlier My dad's laying down on the old scruffy wooden floor, his forehead is covered in sweat, and he's panting as he tries to catch his breath. Every few seconds he moans and groans out in pain while I just sit here and watch him suffer. I know I need to free him of his misery but I can't, how do I kill my own dad even if it is what he needs? "It's ok son, you don't have to do this. Get back to kelly, I'll be fine here." Is he serious? Does he really think that I'll just leave him here on his own to die slow and painfully? Pfft, the guy is insane if he thinks that's happening. Why is this happening again? To lose my dad once was heartbreaking but to live through losing him twice is just plain cruel and It's something that I'm not sure that I'll ever get over. I'm so goddam angry at the moon goddess right now. Why is she doing this to me, to Kelly, to my dad? How can she let one of her children suffer like this? Angry tears swarm down my face and I harshly
Gamma Ashley 11 months later... "One more push and baby's head will be out." Doc gently encourages Tori while she has a mother fucking death grip on my neck all while Jack's across the other side of the bed looking like he's getting his hand broken. She lets out a pain-filled cry as she pushes out the baby's head but instead of taking a break before pushing again she just carries on and before I know it the baby is fully out and wailing and if that ain't the best sound ever! "You have a healthy baby boy," Doc shouts out excitedly. Tori's beaming at his words but so are me and Jack. Jack walks around to my side and wraps his arms around my shoulders just as doc comes to stand in front of us and hands me the little bundle that's now wrapped in a blue blanket. "We have a son Jack." The words leave my mouth in a whisper as I stare down at our son in awe. He's absolutely perfect all 10 toes and 10 fingers of him and he looks just like Jack even down to his little nose. "We do darli
Gamma Jack 5 years later... "Happy birthday beautiful girl," Ashley whispers. "Happy birthday princess," I whisper. "Happy birthday girly girl" Cal whispers. "Happy birthday bubble bum" Liam whispers. Our words are met with a mile-long line of pack members as we set off balloons and watch them float away into the night sky while we wish Kelly a happy birthday. You'd think that after her being gone for 5 birthdays this would get easier but it doesn't. She's 13 years old today, a teenager and we miss her more and more every day. A lot of the pack members here still remember her but I find even the new members we have now including our Luna Brooke and Beta female Bethany seem to feel the sadness of everyone else and them taking the time to be here with us is much appreciated. When Hailey hadn't shown her face for over 2 years we were considering getting Kelly back with us but then like a fucking nightmare come true Hailey turned up here about 6 months ago looking for Kelly and
Gamma Jack These past 4 weeks have been calm and quiet and worrying. We've spent so much time lately on guard and in battles that as much as the quiet time is much welcomed and enjoyed I still can't completely rest. A part of me is waiting for something to happen but until then I'm trying my hardest to relax even if some days it feels impossible. It's been almost 4 weeks since Kelly left here with Joey and Jackie and not one person in the pack knows where they are, we choose not to know the name of the pack to give Kelly extra safety. It's been hard without her both Ashley and I are missing her so much that it's painful and I'd be lying if I said that we haven't shared some tears over her but we both know it's for the best right now and look forward to the day that we can get her back here with us where she belongs. It's been weeks since we last heard from Hailey but we all know that it won't last forever. She'll be back and we'll be ready. Edwina, Rosemary, Zack, Kat, Jane, and
Former Alpha Michael Things lately have been completely out of control and there was a point where I never thought it was going to end. My son is a fairly new Alpha but I never once doubted him even when he doubted himself. I know these past few weeks or maybe months, honestly, I've lost count of how long it's been going on, but the time that's passed while everything has been going on has been a hard time for our pack. Of course, our pack has had its bad times over the years, more than I wish to count or think about if I'm honest but still, we are a very lucky pack, considering how bad things could be we've always done our best to keep out of trouble and work with other packs rather than be enemies. I'd like to think that I was a fair Alpha and that I raised my son to be the same and every day that I watch how he runs the pack and how he treats all the members brings a jolt of pride to my heart. Since the day that he was born, I've made sure to tell him every single day how muc
Alpha Calvin Between everything that has happened and all the information that we have learned over the past few days, I feel like a truck has run over my head. Since the moment that my dad handed down the Alpha title to me, I've never had a moment of regret over taking it or a worry about how I would handle something but I'd be lying if I said that I was struggling right now. It's a lot to take in and I dont even know where to start. After everything that Coby told us we had him placed back in the cell until we decide what to do with him and everyone has gone on with their day while I try and clear through everything in my head and make the decisions that are needed. Once I said goodbye to everyone I decided to go out for a run with Colton in the hope that it would help clear my head but even handing over full control to him hasn't helped me and as I lay here at the side of the lake I growl out in frustration at being no closer to any of the decisions that I need to make. Sud
Gamma Ashley "Fuck!" Echos around the room as everyone says the word at the same time. "I didn't know you had a mate... I... Huh..." I'm at a loss for words and yet I find what he says easy to believe because that is exactly something that my bitch of a mother would do. "Who was your mate?" "I found him after you left Ash. He was called Kyle and he was a member of the north storm pack, I met him after Alpha Roland managed to convince his Alpha to assist in the search for you and your dad, he was a warrior for them and absolutely perfect." His eyes fill with tears as he talks and once he stops they quickly fall down his cheek. "Wait, you said was?" Jack's words are gentle as everyone else suddenly has the same realization. "He's dead, she killed him!" His voice starts rising and the look on his face is absolutely heartbreaking. "I found out after Kelly was taken in the forest that she has already killed him, in fact, she h
Gamma Ashley Finding out that not only do my uncle Joey and his mate Jackie know Edwina well but that warrior Zack and his mate Kat do too, in fact, their daughter Jane calls Edwina auntie Edwina and has done since she was little is just mind-blowing. Having the people that we know speak well of her is a massive help but I still dont know how I feel about her wiping my memory, for her to do that she will need full control of my body and it may only last for a few minutes but for a witch as strong as Edwina a few minutes is all she needs to do pretty much anything to me and the others. We have been sitting here talking through everything for the last 30 minutes but it's clear to me that Cal still doesn't know what to do and I'm almost grateful for it right now as I dont think I'm ready to hear his answer and I'm definitely not ready to see Edwina do anything to my mate. "Ok, I dont think there's any more for us to talk about right now. I need to talk to my pack members that are in
Alpha Calvin I swear right now life is one shit show after another, when the fuck will we get a break? "I'm sorry you want to do what? I look around the room and see my men looking just as shocked as me right now. "With your permission, I would like to wipe the memories of the attack on your men that way there is no chance that they will remember them and no chance of anyone getting any information out of them." "My men wouldn't just go spilling that kind of information not once I've spoken to them anyway." I'm slightly pissed that she would think that and it's not helping her case here. "Oh, Alpha Calvin I am not suggesting that, not in the slightest. What I mean to say is if someone was to find out a member of your pack knows about someone that they want to find... Well, let's just say that they could find a very creative way of getting the information out of your men and that's not what any of us want." "How do we know that we can trust you? I dont mean any offense to you Edwin
Gamma Ashley As we step inside the packhouse I feel myself getting nervous and I'm not even sure if I know why. I know I'm a little embarrassed about running off but not greatly and I know I'm nervous about the idea of letting Kelly go but still, I feel like I'm physically shaking and Jack must sense it as he takes my hand giving me a gentle squeeze. "I'm here with you darling no matter what." He gives me a swift kiss just as we reach Cal's door and step inside to find everyone in the same place as they were earlier. "You ok brother?" Liam asks the moment I step inside Cal's office and his worry for me is clear to see. "I'm ok, I'm sorry for running off," I speak to both Liam and Cal as I answer showing them both the respect they deserve as my Beta and Alpha. "Nothing to be sorry for," Liam says. "Your fine, dont worry," Cal says straight after and I must admit it does make me feel a little better to know that neither of them is mad at me. "Uncle Joey, auntie Jackie, I'm sorr
