Save Me

CHAPTER 21: RESCUE PLAN

Twen's POV

I sat on a couch in the Alpha's office. The office was a massive room with walls covered with books. A round table sat in the middle of the room, and beside it was a desk covered with papers. It stood farther back in the room, in front of a window. Beside the desk was a seating area which is where I was sitting.

The young Alpha stood before me, watching everyone at the round table. The Alpha wasn't the only person inside when we entered the room. The young Alpha had led me to the couch as he whispered in my ear.

"No need to worry; everyone here is an important pack member. They'll be vital to our rescue plan."

That's what he said, but I would've liked to know I would be talking to many people, not just the Alpha. The Alpha and the other people were huddled around the round table, mumbling about things I didn't understand.

There was a knock at the door that caught everyone's attention. The Alpha invited in whoever was behind the door. The door opened, and the man who stayed close to the Alpha when I first woke up at the center walked in. I believe he's the Beta. Behind him was the guy who was also at the center and was angry at me for some reason.

They walk in and greet the Alpha joining the rest at the table.

The Alpha clears his throat, "I've called you all today to discuss a pressing matter." The werewolves stare at the Alpha with all their attention. "As you know, a rogue trespassed onto our territory a few weeks ago."

I could feel the eyes of the pack members shift toward my direction. I looked down at my hands and fiddled with my thumbs; my right leg was shaking.

"They can't harm you as long as I'm here with you."

"Liam, please." The Alpha looked at the young Alpha with his arm held out. The young Alpha nodded his head, then turned to me. I stared at the young Alpha and took a breath; I stood from the couch, then we walked toward some empty spots at the table. I let out a shaky breath and wrapped my arms around myself.

"Well, we kept some information from the pack, and only a few pack members knew of this information."

"This is Twen; most of you know him as the rogue that trespassed onto our territory." Many of the pack members scoffed and mumbled to each other. "What you don't know is that Twen is Liam's mate." The pack members who knew about me stayed silent while the others gasped and murmured.

"If I may, Apha, why keep this from the pack? Having a rogue as a mate is not ideal, but it's still a significant occasion."

The young Alpha growled at the man that spoke, which caused him to sit back and bow his head. The Alpha lifted his hand, making the young Alpha stop his growls.

"I'm telling you now, and that's all that matters."

"We have a more pressing issue that involves this young man." The pack members stay quiet again and focus on the Alpha. "This young man has been kept prisoner along with many other werewolves. We will be saving those werewolves." The murmuring started again.

"Do we have any information on the captors?"

"All we know is that they're rogues and are kidnapping werewolves when they're children. As the head of intelligence, Jason, I want you to look into any missing children reports in different packs."

"Yes, Alpha."

"I was recently in contact with Alpha's Tom and Marks; they mentioned increasing rogues in their territory. As you all know, we, too, have had an increase in rogues."

"The Alphas and I found a pattern with these rogues; they're coming into the territories not to hunt, don't attack, and run away when the patrol gets close. Marcus, you're the patrol leader; I'm sure you've noticed this pattern."
