The Red Wolf's Daughter (Book 3 Part 1: The Becoming of the Siran)

Chapter 44

My grandfather and Cromwell walked in before my aunt could call me back. He looked around before he looked at me. "Well?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "What do you need?"

"We need to wait for something first," I said, and he raised that eyebrow further. "Aunt Bailey is supposed to call me back after she knocks out Uncle Maverick."

"What?" my grandfather asked. "Why does she need to knock him out?"

"Because of what we had found out," my grandmother replied. She poured some stuff into a vial and handed it to Emmanuel. "Here. Open the top and whisper Feor Pack. It should lead you to any information about the pack."

Emmanuel furrowed his brows and took it from her. "And if it doesn't..?"

She shrugged. "Then we will go to Plan B. Now, hop to it. I don't think your parents will be of any concern to you, but I do want you to be careful. Do you understand?"

He nodded and walked outside, going to do what he had been told to do.

"What happened?" Cromwell asked. "What's the matter?"

I sighed and shifted in my seat. "Long story short, Weston isn't the true Alpha of the White Tongue Pack. Adam is the true Alpha. However, because of a member of the Feor Pack being the true Alpha's mate, they made it so that the Beta family will be in control as the "Alphas," and the Alpha family would be the Betas."

"We also think that Maverick is underneath some spell, and a trigger word for the spell is the Feor Pack or something with them," my grandmother added.

"Which is why I asked Aunt Bay to knock him out before he relays any information to someone."

Cromwell nodded his head slowly. "Why do you need me?"

"We think that they, the Alpha and Beta family, are being controlled by a Demon/Dark Witch. I watched his face and noticed that his face grew pale, and his eyes grew wide.

"Do you th-"

I shook my head, cutting him off. "I didn't," I appeased him because I hadn't thought it was him. "But did you do it?" I raised an eyebrow.

Cromwell immediately shook his head. "This is with the White Tongue Pack, isn't it?"

I nodded and flicked to the page in each book where it had the Alpha's name of the White Tongue Pack. "This is the Alpha list in each book," I said. I pushed the book towards him. "The older one was changed with magic."

Cromwell studied the lists before nodding. "And you think they are being controlled by magic?"

"That's why we are bringing them here to find out," my grandmother replied. She handed the phone to Cromwell. "Maverick might be under someone as well. We think that whoever did the pack did it to him, too."

Cromwell took the phone from her and studied the male's face. He pursed his lips and sighed before he nodded. "Yes," he said finally. "He is being controlled by a hybrid." He handed me the phone when it started to ring. "I think she knocked him out."

I nodded my head and took my phone from him. I answered the call and opened my mouth to say something but stopped when my aunt groaned in annoyance.

"The bitch is put down," she said, and I rolled my eyes because I figured he was since she was calling me. "He is in bed hogtied to the posts with a sex toy in his mouth. He is also butt naked with only a sheet covering his parts."

I closed my mouth and raised an eyebrow, even though I knew she couldn't see it. Amusement filled my body because I was amused that she decided to do all of that to him, even though she didn't have to.

"He was hard to knock out and kept cussing me out," she said, sensing my questioning look. "Now, why is he like this?"

"It's because someone is controlling him," I said. "I don't know who, but I'm going to figure it out with the help of somebody. I think that he was triggered to be in that state when the Feor Pack was mentioned."

"Feor Pack?" my aunt asked, and I hummed and nodded my head, even though I knew she couldn't see it. "I haven't heard of that pack, nor have I seen any information on it. Does this have to do with the White Tongue Pack?"

"I think so," I replied. "I'm having Emmanuel go over there and see if he can't find any information about them. Grandma Tabitha had made a spell that should help."

"Well, I hope so because I am curious about this pack. I think they have some land still, but I haven't heard about them. Do you think that it will work?"

I shrugged. "It should. Grandma Tabitha is confident in her abilities." I narrowed my eyes playfully at my grandmother when she scoffed and rolled her eyes and gave her an innocent grin when she narrowed her eyes at me.

Aunt Bay chuckled. "What do you want me to do?" she asked.

"Stay and watch after him," I replied. "I don't know if something will happen to him or not, and I want to see how long the spell lasts since you had knocked him out. I also want to make sure that no one tries to get him and bring him somewhere."

"Ok, I can do that," she chirped. "What is the plan on your end?"

"Bring the Alpha and Beta Chosen of the White Tongue here to the Between and see if I can't get them uncontrolled," I replied. "And then I will try to gather as much information from them as I can before I try to wreak havoc on the pack."

"Oooh, sounds fun. Will you need some help?"

"Probably from the outskirts until I know what I am dealing with," I replied. "Do you think you can help?"

"I can try. What do you need me to do?"

"Watch over Uncle Maverick like a hawk," I replied when I saw my aunt gesture to her eyes and then the phone. "If he says anything, just say 'trust Ky' and leave at that."

"But that is not causing havoc on the pack," she groaned, and I raised an eyebrow because she sounded like a little kid. "Let me do something with the pack."

"I don't know what you can do besides that. If I do think of something, then I will let you know."

She groaned again and muttered 'fine,' and I rolled my eyes and scowled but stayed silent. "What do you want me to do now?"

"I don't know. What do you want to do?"

"Ummmm." She stayed silent while she thought of it. "Paint my mate's nails and trim his beard?"

"Do it. I mean, he isn't awake yet, and I know that you have stuff already ready for him in situations like this." I shrugged.

"Yep," she replied. "I have a torture the king kit ready to be used and hidden from his view so that he can't find it and get rid of my fun.

Theodore's eyes went wide when he heard my aunt say that, and it took all of my self-control to keep from laughing while he gave me a questioning look.

'She likes to pull pranks on him. He gets her back,' I linked, and Theodore hesitantly nodded his head but still looked confused. I looked at my grandfather when he moved his hand to catch my attention and rolled my eyes when he tapped his wrist as if to tell me to hurry up. "Hey, Aunt Bay?"

"Hey, Niece Ky. What is it?"

"I have to go. Can you take a picture of him when he is awake? Please? I want to make sure that everything is fine. A-"

"And don't mention the pack in his hearing distance. Got it," Aunt Bay. "Bye. Have fun. Place nice with the other children."

I rolled my eyes but didn't reply when she hung up the phone. I took in a deep breath and moved a hand across my face, feeling tired, but I knew that I couldn't sleep yet.

Goddess, I prayed. Please keep him safe until we figure out what is wrong with him. Please.
