Pack of Lies

Chapter 45: Time for action

Warrick

Eliza screamed out at the full moon and collapsed down on the floor desperately trying to rid Aaron's blanket of the blood that covered it.

She was frantic, uncontrollable and completely broken. The woman she trusted most had stolen our child and was going to hand him over to John. I had no doubt in my mind that he was going to kill him. He had killed children before so I knew he was capable of such a thing.

"Alpha".

Eliza remained in my arms on the floor crying hysterically as she snuggled Aaron's blanket.

Turning my head, I looked up at my strongest warriors who stood poised and ready to go out and save our son.

"I want everyone in the bunker NOW! And mind link for the packs who are staying nearby to get here now".

Turning back to Eliza and squeezing her tighter, I closed my eyes begging for Rezso to stay calm. We couldn't waste time and I needed a clear mind. If Rezso got in control, it wouldn't help Aaron's fate.

"And what shall we tell them Alpha?".

Eliza turned her head and looked me straight in my eyes rage and fury burning in them like an unstoppable fire. 

She gave me a quick and simple nod, both understanding what we had to do in order to get our son back.

"Tell them that we're going to war".

All the pack warriors nodded at one another before bowing and running off.

I know that we were wanting to plan and prepare for the war, but there was no time to lose. We were going to get our son back and then kill every single last one of the men that worked for John. As for John, he should be very afraid of the thoughts going through Eliza's head.

"How could she do this? After all we have done for her" I growled out at the betrayal. She rescued us only to betray us. I should have known she'd do such a thing after she attacked Eliza.

I'm a failure as a father and a mate.

Eliza spun around so she was now sat crossed legged in front of me.

"Don't you ever say such a thing. What happened is not your fault and neither is it hers" she yelled at me.

"How are you saying this? She kidnapped our son! Surely you can't be defending her after this?".

Eliza grabbed my hand from off the floor and stroked it with her other.

"I could hear him. He was talking to me and I know you could hear him before he blocked you out".

"What are you getting at?".

Eliza stared down at the ground and bit her lip harshly.

"He told me that you weren't the only person that was tortured. What if he's talking about Brooke? He said he knew you would fail because of the mate bond, but Brooke she has a lot against me. I stole her mate, she is alone because of me".

Eliza fell into my chest and sobbed her heart out. The reality of losing our son and the betrayal of a best friend was too much for her.

Eliza, my wife did not deserve the pain she was enduring. She had been through so much already. All I wanted to do was shield her from the evil in this world and keep my family safe. But life was cruel.

"No. You didn't steal her mate, that was your bastard father's doing and I swear to you that we will make him pay. We're going to get our baby back and then I will ensure that every damn threat is eliminated. I'm not sure as to whether I believe Brooke was tortured. She is unstable at times, she bloody attacked you and you know what they say about mateless wolves. They turn crazy. Yes, she may have been tortured, but we have no idea what's going through her head. She may blame you for her losing Kyle, but it was not your fault. You were lied to, tested on and used by Kyle to hurt Brooke but also to keep you from me".
