41 Off To Saftey

Joseph was about to leave his office to deal with Ashley when Ethan's call came in on his phone. He looked at the screen and was surprised that his brother would call him at night. Worried about what Malcolm had told him, he signalled Adam and Brian to remain while he answered the call. He had to be ready in case of an emergency. "Hello," Joseph said on the phone. "Joseph, I need you to send Adam with your trusted warriors to Camila Richardson's house. Her husband is under attack. I need you to hurry there quickly and make sure they do not get him," He urgently said to Joseph. "Hold on," Joseph said and looked at Adam and Brian. "Prep a van; we have a mission," He told Adam, and the three of them headed out. "Text me the address," Joseph said to Ethan on the phone while he moved. "I also want you to get Dr James Pitsberg and bring him to the cabin tonight. Do not take chances," Ethan said. "Keith has texted both addresses to Adam now," Ethan added, and Joseph got into the pass

42 A Decision, Call and Breakup

Joseph, Adam and Brian left the cabin the next day. Joesph promised to send some people over to guard the place. It was a gamble, but they doubted their men were compromised. They decided to select from the few that helped fight at the border. The loyalty of those wolves did not need to be questioned. The drive was silent. Neither of them could believe what had happened. No one could guess the reason behind it all.When they got to the mansion, Joseph went into the building while Adam and Brian went to park the van so they could use their personal cars back to their various houses. Joseph knew the beta and gamma would sleep most of the day because none of them got the rest they needed.When he got to the door of his room, he remembered his issue with Ashley.He took a deep breath and opened the door. Ashley was crying on the couch, worried that Joseph did not come home or call her. She was afraid he had gone to be with Cynthia. The moment she saw him, she was relaxed."Joseph," Sh

43 Preparations

Ashley knew better not to push it, so she quietly packed her bags and left Joseph's room. She went to the south wing as Luna Amber had instructed her. The room given to her was beautiful. She was glad that Amber had considered her comfort but felt empty. Why did she think she could get away with it? She wondered what made her think Joseph would not make good of his promise. She had crossed all limits with him, and to think Cynthia messed with her on their last meeting. She had lost everything. She sat on the bed and wept.Luna Amber linked Joseph to join her in her office. She wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and discover what went wrong between him and Ashley. She did not like Ashley but cared because she was carrying Joseph's baby.Joseph wanted to sleep because he had a rough night, but he decided to honour his mother and see her in her office.Joseph knocked, and she asked him to enter.He smiled at her, and she frowned, wondering why he looked tired."What is wrong wit

44  Faith and Fear

Meadow followed Ethan to the room quietly. She knew it would be wrong to panic publicly, but she feared his plan. When they entered the bedroom, she sat on the bed with her head bowed.Ethan wheeled his chair to her and held her hands.By the time she lifted her head to look at him, tears were streaming down her face.Ethan did not know what to do about it. It touched his heart deeply."I am doing this for us, Meadow," he said, and she shook her head and wiped away her tears."No, Ethan, you are doing this for you and the pack, but not us," She linked him."I am not complaining, Ethan. I am okay with this," she added, and he shook his head."I am not," He confessed to her and looked at her. He was fighting his emotions too."I am not okay with this, Meadow. I am not okay because you deserve better. You deserve a complete man, not this," he said, and she touched his thighs."You are complete," she linked him and looked at him, and he shook his head."I am not, Meadow. I can't do a lot o

45 The Sudden Attack

Joseph got off his couch to find out what was going on. He knew there would be an attack but did not expect it to be so soon. He placed a call to Adam, and Adam answered on the first ring. "We are on our way to the mansion; all residents have been asked to remain indoors. Those close to the bunker have been ordered to go there, but it seems the attack is targeted at your estate," Adam said, knowing the urgency of the situation, and they both hung up. Joseph headed outside, and there was a full battle outside the mansion. It was as if they had come for the people in the mansion alone. The residence of Whitewood close to the mansion had a drill, so he knew they would be heading for the bunkers after the alarm had gone off. He hoped they would make it to safety. There were many attackers, but the warriors defending the mansion weren't many. He wondered where all their warriors went. "What is going on here?" He linked his wolves. "Renegades," Someone said, and he knew what happened t

46 The Right Doctor

The Nurse hooked Ethan up to the antibiotics and left the room. Keith stood with Dr James and Camila in the living room to discuss Ethan's health. "So what do we do now?" Keith asked the doctor, and he smiled. "He is alright now. The antibiotics are just to keep his wound from being infected before his wolf abilities take over," Dr James said with a smile, then turned to Camila. "Remember the detox regiment," He said, and she nodded. "You have to start it tomorrow morning. So he can recover faster," James said, and Keith frowned. "What about you?" Keith asked, confused. He wondered why Dr James was giving Camila his job to do. Camila realised Ethan had not told Keith of the arrangements about Dr James leaving, so she smiled. "Actually, Beta, Dr James planned on leaving after the surgery. He would have stayed a day to ensure no complications, but since the surgery went well, he would want to leave. I told Alpha, and he was okay with it," She added quickly, and Keith shook his he

47 The Letter

Keith stayed in the living room, shocked at what Joesph had called to tell him. He searched his mind for many things he would have done differently that morning. He wished he had delayed Dr James. He wasn't sure if Dr Rosenberg was telling the truth, but he knew the doctor needed to be arrested pending the investigation. He ran his fingers through his hair and took deep breaths. Sebastien and Cynthia's attack on Whitewood was unexpected, but they had done it and made Joseph sign away the pack. It would have all been over if Joseph had not thought to sign his father's name. It was still over on the surface because until Sebatien verified the document, he would still believe that Whitewood now belonged to him. They could not afford to make trouble now because they needed Ethan to recover fully. Keeping their heads down was a must, and he did not know what Sebastein would do during that time. He wanted to call their Gamma and Delta to join them, but he would hold off until Ethan knew

48 The Prognosis

Joseph walked around the hospital premises distraught, trying everything he could to get his shit together. How can everything crumble in a day? He remembered the signs. They were there. Her paleness, coughs, and fatigue. She wasn't the tardy type, but she was now always late and less active. Her hospital visits were constant. He should have seen it. He wondered why he never noticed it. "I guess we believed she was too strong to break," Rex, his wolf, said, but Joseph growled. Tears streamed down his face. He did not want to lose the only parent he had left. He realised why she was desperate about grandchildren and why she went to get Meadow for Ethan. He realised she was trying to see most of it before she left them. His tears fell freely, and he did not know how to tell Ethan, knowing that Ethan had just finished surgery. Joseph roamed the place for almost three hours, trying to get a grip on himself before returning to the hospital to check on Amber. They had given her a ro

49 Going Home

Ethan hung up, and Meadow looked at him a bit worried. She knew he had found out about his mother, and her heart reached out to him."How is he?" She Linked Ethan, and he squeezed her hand gently."We have to go home tomorrow,'" He said, and she nodded, already knowing that would happen."My mother is in a coma, and her liver is failing," He told her. He had to say it aloud to get it out of his system. Meadow's eyes welled up in tears, and she told him what Amber had told her."While you went to Ceenas, She told me she was sick and had only two years, but she said I shouldn't tell you. That was why I always looked worried every time I saw her," She confessed through the mind link, and Ethan was shocked that Amber would confide in Meadow with something heavy. He was a bit angry that his mother would put such a burden on his wife."I would have told you, but it wasn't my secret to tell," She linked him in tears, and he tried to sit up. His back hurt, but he managed it nonetheless."Yo

50 Processing It All

Joseph hung about the hospital for a few hours. He spent those hours pacing about and trying to find the best way to have all the pack alphas and betas tested so they could find a compatible donor for Amber. He knew he would not rest if he failed, so he thought of everything meticulously. Soon he knew it was time to go home, so he and Adam returned. At the same time, he instructed Brian to remain for security purposes.Joseph was mad about what Ashley did and why she tricked him. He honestly wondered how she planned to succeed. He believed her, and she put up a good act. He scolded himself for not being vigilant enough to catch her in a lie. He wondered how she might have gotten away with it. He planned to ask her why when she woke up. One thing was certain; he would kick her out and never look back. The pregnancy was the only reason his mother chose to defy him and house her in the mansion. The truth about the pregnancy had been exposed now, so she didn't need to stick around.
