Hybrid (Argon pack Book 1) MATURE

Part 28

James

"father I cant leave her there it is disgusting."

"it is either the holding room or the cells." he says gruffly while running a hand through his hair.

"she is my mate, surely she can just stay in my room."i argue but can tell by his face my father will not budge.

"son, she attacked Claudia in front of the whole pack, she needs to be locked away until we can figure out our next move."

"what about if there is no next move, she is my mate, I can not allow anyone to harm her under any circumstances vampire or not." I say sternly in my alpha voice and my fathers pupils blow wide for a second before he solemnly nods, I realise my father is weakening to my alpha ability which means he will probably step down as alpha soon.

"we at least keep her there until we know the extent of the problem." my father enforces and with a sigh I nod and agree.

"in the meantime son carry this sedative with you, I will smooth pack relations by explaining about the loss of your pup in regards to her actions, the loss of a child does strange things to the mind as your mother and I know too well." his words end and that haunted expression claims him for a few seconds as it usually does when he mentions my absent sister. He hands me a syringe and turns his head before I catch the tears in his eyes,

"father, this is not needed." I say trying to hand it back to him.

"it is and you use it at the slightest sign of trouble, unless you want the assasin squad called in, she may be your mate but this is your pack she endangers and its your duty to every wolf, young blood and pup in this pack to protect them over all else." he says in his alpha voice.

"yes father." I say solemnly.

Before either of us have chance to speak again Tom is forcing very panicked thoughts into my head.

"whoa hey Tom what's going on?" I say trying to figure his words out but they are not making sense.

"tom I don't understand calm down."

"something is wrong dad I have to go."

I begin sprinting towards Jasmine but I am suddenly knocked to the floor by a very strong wave of anger, uncontrollable bubbling rage, so much so infact I put my fist through a wall before I even realise I swung a punch at it." I growl at thin air as no one surrounds me, I feel my pulse increase and I am about to up and sprint looking for a fight when the anger dissipates just as quickly as it started and once again toms words are in my head.

"MY OFFICE NOW!" my father calls. This can not be good!

I sprint back the way I came and back into the alpha office.

"whats going on?" I demand.

"i have no idea, every alpha around the whole pack just lost their shit and started fighting and breaking things." my father says trying to sound calm but I notice he managed to snap his solid oak desk In half.

"i felt it." I say shaken. Before any of us speak again Tom Practically bounces through the door.

"James its Jasmine!" Tom pants shaken and pale.

"what happened?" my father growls.

"she woke up... I dont know what happened, she was remembering the events of the hospital and coming to the pack house then she suddenly freaked out and snapped the silver chains, her eyes were glowing red and she had anger pulsing from her in waves so powerful she pinned me to the door, I thought she was going to force my wolf out, then she took my arm so gently and put her face to my neck, I thought she would bite if our blood was not fatal to her but then she sniffed me and started crying, just like that she was back to normal but she had a pulse the whole time I checked, she just stood there crying in my arms like real tears not blood and I came to get you as soon as I could." I am pretty sure he did not take a single breath during that whole explanation.

"what is she doing now?" my father asks since my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth and unable to make words apparently.

"just sat on the cot crying, she is just a very scared human right now." Tom says rubbing his face.

"she cant do no harm I put 5 guards. both alpha and beta outside her door, she is secure for now we need to check on the pack make sure they are all recovered." my father says with precise instructions while I am still trying to remember how my mouth makes saliva so my words will work again.

"thats not all though Alpha, I think she spoke Latin."

"pack first we will deal with her later." my father orders sternly.

To say the pack were in shreds was an understatement, many unexplained fights, damage and a lot of terrified omegas later and the pack were still shaken, we could no more explain the arrival of the outburst that claimed only alphas than we could explain why it dissipated so quickly. We also learned it had a five mile radius around our pack as a few Alphas living in the city were Affected but it was quickly covered up and smoothed over by witches and warlocks in the area. Thank god all I did was punch a wall. There was a problem though, if all that anger came from Jasmine how come Tom didn't feel it at all? It just washed over him completely. After several hours of pack assistance I was granted leave to visit my mate. I have to be honest though I have been fighting very hard not to show it but I am feeling some strong distance pains due to my absence from Jasmines side. Finally I am launching myself down the hall to her room past the copious guards and through the door that is quickly closed behind me.

"oh jasmine!" I exclaim when I see her tiny fragile frame perched on the end of the bed looking exausted with tears both fresh and dried running down both cheeks, when she stands up and throws herself into my arms I cant help but cradle her protectively but my blood runs cold when she throws me a small smile and two tiny and newly formed fangs poke out over her bottom lip. The next few moment go by in a daze of questions and answers but before I know it I realise I have injected the sedative into her neck before laying her down.

Tom runs in with a glass of water.

"whats wrong? Is she ok?" he asks and I lose the fight to control the tears now running down my face in large rivers.

"she grew fangs."

"oh, James I am so sorry, there may still be hope, it might still be a side effect." he says grasping my shoulder.

"growing teeth seems like a pretty permanent side effect to me." my fathers booming voice travels down the hallway and I sag against the nearest wall in resignation.

"we will give her a few more days to find the extent of the damage, but son if she is dangerous you know what we have to do, mate or not." he says placing his hand on my arm and grasping it tightly. I nod my head because for the 900th time today words seem too hard at this moment.

"we will work this out soon." my mother says materialising from nowhere while I sink lower and lower in the abyss of my mind.

I really hope she is right.
