I woke up two hours later, and Macy was still unconscious as she was earlier. I leaned closer to her on the bed, so close I could feel her breath on my face, my hands moved to her face and pushed back some strands of her hair that had fallen in front and covered part of her face,
She looked so beautiful, Mom had cleaned her up earlier after the doctor left and helped changed her clothes into my T-shirt and some sweatpants, so she could sleep comfortably.
I reluctantly left the bed and the room after taking a quick shower and changing my clothes, I walked downstairs to the living room, both my brother and Beta were back and both seated on different cushions with worried looks on both their faces.
” How did the cleanup go?”
” Everything is done, we cleared the place Alpha,” Greg answers.
The tone in which he answers me is not giving, it seems like something is not right. I move my eyes to my brother, and his countenance is no different from that of my Beta.
” Go on, spill it, what is the matter?” I asked, curious as to why their faces were like this.
” Alpha, it is about the underground cell we discovered at Henry’s hideout.”
” How can one be so cruel and heartless? That sight cannot be unseen, from my mind, it has been etched in my head and replayed like a movie scene.” Derick says with an angry face while shaking his head.
” Alpha, we were also able to rescue Zach’s daughter, she was found among the children we discovered in Henry’s hellhole,” Greg says.
Henry has always been a scoundrel without a heart, even after everything he lost, he still did not change his wicked ways. Another cell was found where children and women were kept, this time and were still being sold into the black market.
” And Zach?”
” We have not got anything on him for now, Alpha.”
” It is a good thing we busted that hideout, at least those innocent children and women are now safe, I am proud of you all,” I tell them sincerely.
They both nodded their head at me, Greg had a one-sided smile on his face this time. Before asking,
” And how’s our Luna doing, Still asleep?”
I notice my brother, clenching at my beta’s words, he looks in my direction and stares into my eyes, I do the same, and we are both in a staring competition for a minute. His facial expression showed nothing, there was no emotion on his face, Derick simply stared at me.
I broke our little staring competition, looking away I shrugged, my mind going back to Macy, and what her expressions will be after finding out about us in that way.
” Macy’s still sleeping, the doctor says her body needs a lot of rest after everything she went through at the hands of Henry.”
” I’m glad there are no serious injuries, and she is fine Alpha.”
” Thanks, Greg,” I say, nodding my head at my Beta and best friend.
Greg leaves the living room and goes up to his room, leaving just me and Derick still seated in our sit.
” I’m sorry you found out the way you did, Derick. I was going to make things clear to you soon enough, before this whole drama.” despite anything, Derick is still my brother, and he deserves an explanation, I know how much he loves Macy. I have seen it. So, it’s only fair I explain to him.
” I am still so shocked at the turn of events, I just wish it was a dream and I get to wake up from it.”
With those words, he stood up and left, leaving me all alone in the living room.
My brother is hurt I see it in his eyes, I never wanted this to happen. I know we have not been the best brother duo, nevertheless, that does not mean that I don’t love him. The Moon goddess decides who we are mated to, and she has her reason for pairing me and Macy, I get a feeling we have some destiny to fulfill.
I sat in there for a while, before Dad walks up to me with the head warrior of the pack beside him.
” Is it done?” I asked.
” Yes, Alpha, he has been detained and is awaiting questioning.” Leon, the head warrior answers.
Dad took a seat next to me, and I dismissed Leon to leave us.
A servant walks in with two glasses and a bottle of wine for us, Dad retrieves them from her and dismisses the maid. We stay in silence as Dad serves the wine to both of us, I pick up my glass and stare at the liquid in it.
” Finn will get the punishment he deserves, for causing all this trouble,” Dad says, breaking the silence.
” Hmm no one messes with me goes Scott free, I’ll make an example with him so in the future no one in this pack will ever think of betraying me,” I say through gritted teeth.
” Your brother has been silent since he returned, your Mother tried speaking to him, but he has been giving her the silent treatment.”
” He is hurt, Dad, he just needs some time, and he’ll come around.”
” I tried explaining the same thing to your mother, but she does not listen.”
Derick understands how this works, he lets the girl go because she is mine. My major worry is her reaction to her finding out about us.
How her life has changed from being an ordinary music teacher to being the Luna of one of the largest packs in the werewolf race here in America.
The shock and fear on her face back at the warehouse were scary, I hope she can accept me.
” Relax, she will accept us.” Rage says in my head, feeling my worry.
” Why so confident, you saw how scared she was,” I link to my wolf.
” Because there is a lot you two will accomplish together, Liam,”
” What do you mean Rage?” I asked confused.
” Some things are best left unsaid, Liam, when the time is right, you will understand everything.” Rage says before retreating to the back of my mind.
I furrowed my brows together, thinking about what my wolf just said.
I was lost in my thoughts and did not realize a maid walk-in until her words pulled me out of my daydreaming.
” Alpha, she is awake!!”
