The reject of silver falls (COMPLETED)

chapter seventeen

{Jake}

"You need to stop worrying," Justin said as he walked beside me.
I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.
"How am I supposed to stop worrying when she's out there and I'm not?" I asked.

"Easy, you think about other stuff. Come on, Jake. We are talking about angie here. She knows protocol. If she was in trouble or she came across something, we would be notified and if not us, then Eli and then we would be notified," Justin said. I nodded. Yeah, he was right. There was no need to worry. Angel could take care of herself and if she was way in over her head, she would call. She would notify someone...it was protocol. She knew protocol.

"Jake, stop worrying. She's the best warrior we have remember? Warrior falls? The best?" Justin asked. I nodded. He was right and I was just thinking too much. I needed something to get my mind off of all of this.

"Drink?" Justin asked.
"Drink," I said, nodding.

{Alpha bane}

"This is such a surprise," I said, sitting down across from the older man. The man nodded, looking at Eli who was still standing in the doorway of Astion's office.

"Well young man? I dont bite," the older man said, lifting one corner of his mouth up in a smile. Eli smiled back, but you could see that he was scared. He moved from the doorway over towards the conference table.

The older man sighed and coughed into his hand.
"Life is too short," the older man said, shaking his head.
"I agree sir," I said.

I understood why Eli was scared and I was feeling a bit scared as well. The head councilman never ventured from the council grounds...never.

"So....what brings you here?" I asked. The older man sighed and glanced at his body guards. They nodded and left the room, shutting the door behind them.

"Alpha bane...things are not going so well. It's not just here, but reports of strange rogue behavior is all over the place. I'm afraid that the council grounds were attacked just a few days ago and I was lucky to escape. As fragile as I am, I'm not prepared to go just yet..."

"sir I am so sorry. We were not made aware-"

"Dont fret. Council members were moved safely to another location. Some though...did not survive. The royals are growing weary as well, and....they are letting loose the sweeper," the older man said.

I tensed.
"The....the sweeper?" I asked.
Eli looked at me, curiosity eating at him.
"Yes. I have come here to warn you...and prepare you alpha bane. A war is n the horrizon," the older man said before he stood and slowly left the office.

I sat there, shocked and yet fearing for my life.
"Eli-"
"What is the sweeper?" Eli asked.
"Mind-link Jake and get everyone back here. Now," I ordered. Eli nodded and left the office, but I could still smell his curiosity. I dug my phone out of my pocket and hit redial.

"Come on, come on. Pick up," I growled.
The phone rung another time before I heard a click.
"Hello?" A voice asked.
"Charles?" I asked.

{Jake}

I groaned as I walked down the street, Justin following behind me. We found a bar open, which was pretty lucky. Most bars only opened at night. I tried to get drunk, but not matter what I did, I couldn't. It probably had to do with how we were made. I don't know.

"I wonder what all the fuss is about-"
A loud howl pierced the air and I froze. My wolf growled, catching the cry from the other wolf. Justin froze too, his head turning towards the woods.

I didn't bother with my clothes, I ran, shifting into my wolf while I was running. I could hear Justin right behind me. I knew who's cry that was and normally I wouldn't go to him but angel was out there and knowing him, he knew where she was.
