The Alpha and her thief

Chapter 2

Lilly's POV

Three days. It has been three days since we have been robbed. We lost over half of a million dollars and many magic items that we had in storage. Not a single soul had seen the thief. Not a single soul picked up a sent from the thief. Not a single soul event knows what stole from us. All we know is that a lot is missing and we have no clues, But we also know that this has happened to twelve other packs from the Americas in less then six months. The twelve packs had a vast storage of magic items and were quiet rich. With this information we have started a national investigation, but the other packs have the same thing. They do not have any information and cannot find anything about the thief. I don't event know where to start on this. Sighing I rub my temples. I get up and head down to the storage house again to see if I can find anything new. when I get there I see my best trackers still searching. They must have messed up they cannot just appear and disappear without a trace. It astonishes me that they could take hundreds' of magic items in and out of here so easily. I huff and head back to my office. As I am headed there my assistant Olive mind links me.
"Alpha, you have a call from a alpha from Mexico who has a similar problem."
" Alright put him on line 2 and tell him to hold."
I quickly head up to my office and huff. This might turn into a large investigation that I really don't want to participate in. Sighing I jog up to my office and mentally prepare myself for this.
" Hello the Alpha Lillian Jace of the Gold moon pack, what might this call be about?" The man in the other side of the phone laughs.
"Alpha Lillian I think you know what this is about. My name is Alpha Jose and my pack was robbed of 523,000 dollars, in equivalent to your American money, and also several rare magic items almost a month ago." His heavy accent pushes through towards the end. I take a second to think.
" This problem you have is one that many packs are having if you have any information I will be happy to send the news to the other packs. Unfortunately there is no news to give to you about the other thefts that have happened." I speak very formally into the phone. I hear the alpha on the other side of the phone laugh.
"We have been tracking the thief and their movements and we know where they are going to strike next." I freeze. They know. They know where this thief is going to strike again.
"Listen Miss Lillian Jace this thief is going to strike next at a vampire clan called Red Streak and I want you there to stop them. I have already approved this with the leader of the clan. I now only need you. Are you willing to do this?"  I pause.
"Where is Red Streak?"

I took 200 warriors and ran 1010 miles. We now sit and wait for the thief inside the clans dungeon that is full of money and magic items. We had a witches help getting here and so no person outside knows of what is going on. I slowly watch the sun fade over the horizon and the moon stretch into the sky.

It is almost two in the morning before we hear a noise. Slowly opening my eyes I see a portal opening into the dungeon. Signaling everyone we all get behind the piles of riches inside the small area and watch as a small figure walks out of the portal. The figure has no shape nor no sent. It is like nothing is there but I can see it with my own eyes. We slowly watch as the figure grabs a few stacks of cash and throws then in the portal without much care. Then they turn towards the magic items and slowly looks through them. Picking up 1 for every 20 some items. They slowly go through the pile as I walk towards the portal with a few others following. Everyone else is surrounding the figure on the other sides. This is so easy. How could this mastermind thief be trapped so easy? How? I freeze being silent. Turning towards the figure I yell.
"ITS A TRAP!"
