The Secrets of The Reverence Pack

Chapter 60: Celebration

No one really got any sleep that night. As soon as the packs were told that the Reverence Pack was peaceful once more, they all started to flock over there, too curious to see what had happened. Shiro had cleaned up the mess that came from the challenge as well as killing Kenji. Alex was glad that the bastard was dead. Even though he could feel Geo's pain when he talked about it.

"There's still so much that I don't get," Luke rubbed his head. It was a sunny morning now, as the fog seemed to disappear if not just for the day. The greenery was absolutely beautiful, and the flowers were blooming to soak in as much sunlight as possible. It really made this pack house shine.

"Yeah," Alex smiled at him. "There's a lot of shit that happened that you didn't know about."

"Oh, calm down, Lu," Teddy popped up and hooked his hands in both of their arms. "It's time to celebrate! Not to be confused about everything that just happened!"

"I should have known that you wouldn't have died," Alex shook his head.

"Plush don't die," Teddy winked at him. He looked happier than Alex had ever seen him. "Oh, by the way, I meant it about Geo."

"I solemnly swear that I will not harm a hair on his head," Alex told him. Geo and Shiro had actually gone to their old rooms to change. Shiro still had to get all that blood and ink off him. Everyone else were getting ready for the celebration that was to take place. There were already couples holding hands and laughing in glee, and children having fun in the grass. Their mothers weren't even yelling at them for getting stains on their clothes like they normally would.

He had never seen something so purely joyful in his life. These people were acting like they had just seen sunlight for the first time in their lives. Mothers and Fathers cried as they held onto their children that they thought were long dead. They danced and laughed. It was the most awe-inspiring thing that he had ever been a part of.

"This," Detective Jim came up to them. "This is what Munni would have wanted." He looked different than before. The stress lines on his face were faded away just a little bit, and those eyes shined with happiness. The Detective Jim that he saw now was so much different than the tired old detective that he had known for most of his life.

"This is what we've all wanted," Teddy said, smiling out to the yard. "Shiro was planning this since day one."

Alex couldn't help but smile at that thought. They would have never known that a thirteen-year-old would start off this revolutionary movement to overthrow his father. When he first saw him, he didn't think he was anything but a warrior who was willing to help their pack with some hunters in their land. It was amazing just how much digging they had to do to get to the truth of the matter.

The first car he saw pull up was Bree's. Alex had called her back just as soon as all the members of Mercy Waters were accepted in the pack. He had been too focused on what was going on to pay attention to his phone. Apparently, Jett scared the shit out of her. Alex wasn't too surprised at that, though. That happened a lot in their line of work.

"Okay," Bree burst out of her car. Her dad, Elder Henry, was with her. "Where is he?! I swear to the moon and back, I'm going to kill him!"

"I don't think that would be a great idea," Alex smirked at her. "His mate seems pretty powerful."

"Oh, shut up," she rolled her eyes. "I have his clothes."

"He's just inside," Alex told her. "He was waiting on Shiro to change."

"Mind telling me what happened?"

"That's a great story," Alex said. "Honestly, I don't know half of it myself."
