The Secrets of The Reverence Pack

Chapter 43: Breakdown

Jett was going to kill him. They had all been forcing him to stay in the pack house for his own safety so he didn't barge into Reverence territory and get mauled. They had no clue what that pack was capable of, and no one wanted to risk their Alpha getting hurt by them. It had been a long day of trying to keep him calm and not freaking out.

And Alex decided to make a run for it to save Geo at the end of it all.

He just couldn't stop himself. His bond with Geo was strong enough to let him know when the man was freaking out, and it was going off like the alarm on a sinking ship. He needed to act fast. Jett had Bree holding him back, but no one thought that Alex would be dumb enough to charge over there in his car.

He was hoping to be able to bring them both back, but it didn't seem like that was the case. He swore he heard that growl from miles away. The forest was huge, spanning hundreds of miles of territory that allowed each and every pack enough room to grow and be comfortable. And even with all that land, and all those trees that covered the pack's territories, Alex was positive that each and every person in the forest heard that fucking growl.

It was a gruesome one. One that only an Alpha could do, he was sure of it. There was nothing but sheer rage in that noise that bounced off the trees. He had no idea who it was or what had happened, all he knew was that he could tell that Geo was freaking the fuck out and he needed to get him out of there.

He heard most of the conversation between him and his father. It was enough to finally figure out that his hunches were correct. They really did punish their members for being gay. The sexual abuse was just the icing on the top. There was no way that Geo would do anything like that to someone he was dating. Alex hadn't known him for that long, but he knew he wouldn't. He wasn't the type. But Kenji just ate up every fucking excuse he needed. He wanted to kill his own fucking son. His only son at that.

Alex wanted to boil him alive.

Geo looked like he was getting a damn heart attack when the last growl came. Alex really didn't know what to do. He was just trying to get him the fuck out of there. Those black cloaks looked like fucking demons with all the fog that was around the area. What he really wanted to do was hold onto Geo as tightly as he could and never let him go.

"Geo, talk to me!" he must have said it a thousand times that day, but he really needed some communication. Because he was this close to freaking out just as badly as Jett was.

"Shiro," he almost whispered.

"What about Shiro?" He asked. "Was that him?"

Geo nodded at that. Alex couldn't believe it. What happened to Shiro that caused him to be that angry? He sounded like a monster of the forest, one that would make even the toughest man cry and run in fear.

"He left the pack," he explained, still holding his heart.

Now he understood why he was in pain. Shiro was Geo's Alpha. Him leaving the pack must have hurt like a bitch. Alex could only imagine if he were in his shoes. All he could do was squeeze the arm that he was holding and continue to drive him down the streets.

"You felt it too?" the voice over the phone said. Alex recognized Jin's voice in a heartbeat. He hadn't known the guy for that long, but he made sure to recognize voices of people that he was investigating. Jin was a prominent figure in that pack, along with his father.

"Yeah," Geo said, putting the phone back up to his ear.

"What do we do now?" Jin sounded lost when he asked that question. Alex didn't even know the answer to that himself. But when he looked over to Geo, he saw his expression harden again, ready to make the next step.
