Alpha Richard, Beta Micah, and Dad met with Commander Maddox and Tate Windlestaff in the Conference Room. Tate was in the process of writing down the names and locations of the persons who took part in the attack on the transport of Prince Michael and the killing of the guards when Alpha King Matthew and Beta Walsh was announced.
“Good morning everyone. Indeed, it is now a good morning since we now have my son back into custody and Melanie back where she belongs. I need a proper update after introductions have been made,” advised Alpha King Matthew.
“As you wish, Alpha King Matthew,” replied my Dad as he bowed toward the Alpha King.
Dad introduced everyone in the room. Then, he started the debriefing of the ‘mission’ of Tate Windlestaff with Prince Michael.
“Alright, let’s get started. First of all, Tate you need to explain your role in the Elite Force and how you operate within the Force itself. Then, we will get into how you managed to wrangle your way into Prince Michael’s inner circle,” commanded my Dad.
“Yes, Delta Troy,” replied Tate. “My role within the Elite Force is two-fold. I am a covert operative within the Elite Force. I keep my toes within the murky black market dealings so to speak. I have dealings with the likes of Maurice Perkins and such. So, when he reached out to me and asked me to help with the attack on the transport of Prince Michael, I agreed. He was thrilled because of my skill set. Maurice Perkins knows me as a mercenary who used to be a navy seal who now works for the highest bidder,” explained Tate to everyone in the room.
“How does that work? How do they not know that you are a part of the Elite Force?” inquired the Alpha King.
“No one knows that I am a wolf. In my personnel file it reads that I am a human. My base of operations is out of Ravina, Wyoming. My only communication with the Elite Force is through Commander Maddox,” explained Tate.
“I see. Please continue. I would like to hear how you convinced my son to take you in his inner circle,” demanded the Alpha King.
“As you wish Alpha King. After I got on the team to extract Prince Michael, the plan was made and executed. Whoever made the plan for the transport was an idiot because it was poorly planned-maybe it was on purpose, I don’t know. Anyway, once he was free, he danced. He literally danced. I couldn’t believe it. He danced over the dead bodies of the guards-I wanted to kill him just for that,” seethed Tate to everyone present.
Growls were heard when Tate said that Prince Michael danced over the dead bodies of the guards. How could Prince Michael be so disrespectful like that? What happened to him? Why would he do such a thing?
“We finally got Prince Michael into a car so we could leave. We met our contact like we were supposed to and he wanted to know why our group was upset. A fight nearly broke out because of it. I had to intervene. Our contact called his boss who told him to leave his sorry ass to his own devices. He was a disappointment. Prince Michael whined about how was he supposed to get away and hide from his father and the European King? And our contact said, it was his own problem now,” continued Tate.
“What happened next? Is that when you mentioned the cabin in Wyoming?” asked Beta Micah.
“No, he asked me for my phone so he could make a phone call. He called Brock and told him where he was. He told him to bring clothes and supplies so they could get away from here. A few hours later, he and two others showed up and we all left. Prince Michael said I was going with them since I defended him against the others. I figured I would find a way to stay with him anyway so we could recapture him. Raymond mentioned that we needed to create as much distance between them and the Royal Pack as possible. That’s when Prince Michael thought of Canada,” explained Tate.
“Who thought of going to the Black Water Pack for help?” inquired Alpha Richard to Tate.
“That was Xavier’s idea. He said they helped people who needed to get out of the country quickly for whatever reason. So, we went there to get their assistance. But for some reason, Prince Michael felt they were stalling or trying to set a trap so he decided to go a different way. He decided we needed to have some ‘insurance’ to keep him safe,” shared Tate to everyone in the room.
“Insurance as in Delta Melanie you mean,” clarified Alpha Richard.
“Yes Alpha, Delta Melanie was the insurance Prince Michael referred to. He said we needed to figure out a way to kidnap her. I told them I might have a way but I needed to make some calls. I got in touch with Commander Maddox and explained what was going on and asked his advice on how to proceed since he was my handler,” revealed Tate to everyone.
“I advised him at that time to proceed with the operation. They were going to find a way to kidnap Delta Melanie anyway, it might as well be with our assistance. We could make sure that no one got hurt in the process. I’m sorry that we had to gas your entire pack Alpha Richard, but we had to ensure no one got killed in the process. This was the only way to make sure we got everyone who was involved with Prince Michael. Delta Melanie will be getting a detailed report from me tomorrow,” advised Commander Maddox to everyone present.
“Why will she be getting a detailed report from you tomorrow?” inquired Tate.
“She handles all after action reports within the company. She has read your name on many reports my friend,” chuckled Commander Maddox to Tate.
“So, if you knew about the gas attack ahead of time, why didn’t you give Delta Troy a heads up about it?” questioned Alpha King Matthew.
“Plausible deniability. Also, Prince Michael wasn’t involved in the actual kidnapping of Delta Melanie. We had to make sure we ensnared everyone involved with Prince Michael, not just him. Again, I’m very sorry for gassing your pack and for any injuries or inconvenience we may have caused,” professed Commander Maddox.
“Understood. Now get us to the cabin in Riverton, Wyoming,” commanded Alpha King Matthew.
“Yes Alpha King. Prince Michael didn’t like my base of operations because it only had two bedrooms and one bathroom. So, I mentioned a buddy of mine had a cabin in Riverton that he let’s me use from time to time that has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. I told him it was secluded and the nearest neighbor was two miles down the road. He jumped at it. So, we decided to go there. After we got there, I went to the store to get supplies for us since I was known in those parts. When I got back, Prince Michael and his cronies were in a heated argument about what he had just done to Delta Melanie. They didn’t like that he had just raped her while she was unconscious. They said it was low even for him,” continued Tate to everyone while they growled at his memory of the events of the past.
“What … Why would he do something like that? I didn’t raise … him to do such things!” stammered Alpha King Matthew. “What will his mother think of him when she hears this?”
“Did anything happen after that?” questioned Beta Walsh.
“Brock and Prince Michael had it out. They came to physical blows with each other. Raymond broke them apart and said this wasn’t accomplishing anything. Brock said after this he wouldn’t help him with anything else. He was done with him. Xavier came in with the silver shackles Prince Michael requested he find which he put on Delta Melanie’s legs above her ankles. Even in her unconscious state, she fought them when they were putting them on her. Then, when she came too the next day, she was physically ill because of the silver poisoning from the silver shackles. The doctor called Prince Michael an idiot for putting them on her in the first place since she was pregnant. I’m glad that the doctor helped her out. I had already sent a message to Commander Maddox setting up her extraction for the night since she was going to be knocked out due to the IV solution,” concluded Tate to everyone in the conference room.
“So, even if we hadn’t contacted Commander Maddox, he was going to rescue Delta Melanie last night?” inquired Alpha Richard.
“Yes, Alpha I was. I had already coordinated an attack with my people before Delta Troy had contacted me. I couldn’t tell him about it yet. It will all be in my after action report,” advised Commander Maddox.
“That should be a good read Commander,” noted Alpha King Matthew.
“Indeed, it will. I can’t wait to read it myself,” declared my Dad to everyone in the conference room. “Does anyone have any questions?”
“I’m sure we have lots of questions Delta Troy, but we are more concerned about Delta Melanie at this point in time. Why don’t we adjourn this meeting? May I ask for an abbreviated version of Commander Maddox’s After Action Report when it is submitted?” questioned Alpha King Matthew.
“Yes Alpha King Matthew. I can make sure you get a copy of it. If anyone else has any further questions, they can speak to me directly. This meeting is adjourned,” my Dad commanded.
‘How’s Melanie? Any change?’ Dad inquired through the family link to Mom and Anthony.
‘No change. Are you on your way over here?’ Mom asked Dad.
‘Yes, I’ll be there in a few minutes. Love you Lou,’ declared Dad.
‘Love you, too,’ declared Mom.
