The Hunter, The Alpha And Me.

Control

Chapter 13:

I felt numb. That was the only way I could sum it up. My childhood friend was gone, and I couldn’t do a thing about it. I have never felt so useless in my life. Blaze still had her arms wrapped around me as we both cried. I pulled away, wiping my tears.

“Where was he found?”

She sobbed again “Down by the river of our house...you’re father wants to see me, you, Jacob and Luke, their having a pack meeting”

I nodded my head, as she turned, Luke ran past me and caught up with Blaze as he wrapped an arm around her waist and led her towards the guess hall. I shuddered as the tingling sensation ran up my arms as Jacob pulled me towards him, for that I was grateful.

We walked into the guess hall where several heads snapped up in our direction, many were tear-streamed while most of the males wore blank expressions. The whole room was filled with tension, making my skin crawl.

We stopped as took a seat as my father stood up, along with his Beta and Gamma. I looked up and saw Seth take the free seat next to me, he grabbed my hand giving it a gentle squeeze as he turned his attention to our father.

“Everyone, thank you for attending on such short notice but as you all know it is urgent due to a pack members death” he paused and looked around the room as some people gasped, their expressions horrified. “Tyler was found outside by the lake of the pack house, our pack doctor has concluded him dead. As you all know in a short period of time, this would be the second pack member to be sent to their death and the situation has become critical.”

Growls erupted around the room, even from Jacob and Luke who aren’t even in our pack.

“Now, we believe the Hunters are back” that one word had me gawking in shock. They couldn’t be? They couldn’t have found us so soon! We’ve managed to stay hidden for so long!

Seth must have sensed my uneasiness and gently squeezed my hand again while Jacob gripped my other hand, rubbing soothing circles in my hand.

“We came up with a strategy with what we think they want from the deaths, Vicki was quite high up in the pack positions and immediate family as well as Tyler. We’ve concluded that they are targeting the immediate family. Without the alpha, there can’t be a pack”

A voice sprang up from the edge of the room “Alpha White, you’re also the top Royals sir, this makes you are more...prized target”

My father thought for a moment before speaking again “I agree Mr. Olden; I have already enhanced protection of my family, which brings me to another subject: Mr Daniels, Mr Emeraldson, Mr Cawfield, and Mr Radke.” he glanced over in my direction.

Jacob and Luke stood up in sync and stepped forward standing so they were more in front of my father and Logan and Ethan joined them moving from the east side of the room and took place next to Jacob, and bowed. My father walked forward so he was in front of him and held out his hand, which Jacob shook followed by Luke, Logan and Ethan.

“Alpha” Jacob spoke, his voice confident and controlled.

“I have given you permission to stay in my territory as an agreement we made, and I would like to change the agreement”

“What part, sir?”

I didn’t know where to look but I did no one thing: I couldn’t keep my eyes away, though that did answer one of my questions, why the hell Jacob had stayed.

“Our agreement was that you payed rent to stay but I do not want your money, right now my entire concern is protecting my pack and my family. As an alternative there will be an oath to be sworn, it shall not take you from your pack however it is an oath that allows you to stay in my territory as if you were in my pack and in return you provide us with your services”.
