” What is it?” I asked with a file in my hand, they both stared at each other in silence, which pissed me off.
” Can someone say something!” I yell, not liking the silent treatment.
” Alpha, it’s Finn,” My Beta finally spits.
” What about that traitor?”
” He was rushed to the pack’s infirmary in the early hours of the morning,”
” What the fuck happened?” this time I stood up furious,
” Finn tried to kill himself through poison, that’s what happened son,” Dad explains this time.
” How’s that possible when he is locked up in his cell with guards watching him?”
” We traced it down to his food seems like it was mixed in his little portion of the meal,” Dad continues,
” Then why do you think he tried to poison himself?” I asked confused.
” Because the servants taste the food first before they are given to the prisoners,” Greg says,
” That motherfucker!! Is he still alive?”
” Yea, the guards were able to get to him on time before the poison could reach his heart, the doctors have flushed the poison out of his system,”
” That’s good then, and Zach?”
” Now on tight security after what happened with Greg,”
” Let’s go,” I motion to Greg who follows behind me, we arrived downstairs and I see my brother with a mug in his hands. Derick looked better, seemed his injuries were healed now,
We spared each other a glance and my wolf growls at him for a moment, my eyes turned to that of my wolf’s.
Without a word, I walked past him, my wolf still itching to come forward and attack him. Rage now saw Derick as a threat, and that I couldn’t blame my wolf for.
Immediately, my Beta and I got into one of my cars and drove off.
” To the hospital,” I ordered.
Finn thinks he can play games with me, that old fool is tasting my patience.
I was never a fan of hospitals. The smell is never pleasant to my nose,
Everybody bowed their head in respect as we walked through the halls of the hospital, a doctor approached us.
” Alpha welcome this way, please,”
We followed the doctor into his office, Greg had sent a message earlier to inform the doctor that we were on our way, so he was fully aware of our arrival.
” Here is his report,” The doctor says handing over a file to me, which I gratefully took from him.
” The amount of poison that was consumed by Finn is definitely enough to end a werewolf’s life in minutes. However, it is still a mystery to me how he was able to survive that.” Doctor Eugene explains,
” What kind of poison did he take?” I asked curious to know,
” We found a large amount of wolf bane in his system Alpha,”
“Wolfsbane?”
” Yes, Alpha, Wolfsbane.”
” How on earth did that old fool get his hands on that much wolf bane?” Greg speaks out this time,
” Someone must have given it to him,” I say.
I discussed a few more things with Eugene before leaving the hospital,
” That old fool thinks he can die so easily and escape my wrath just like that, but he is fucking mistaken!” I grumbled angrily as we drove back to the pack house.
” Who would help Finn to attempt this suicide?” Greg asks, as he gripped the wheel tightly, he was pissed.
” Someone who is on his side, no other person would do this except his mate,”
” But he hasn’t had any visitors lately, and why would his mate want to help end his life? I mean, that’s absurd!”
” Hmm, I think we’re about to find out,”
The ride back to the pack was fast, I quickly got out of the car and went straight to my office. Greg followed me into my office and we both sat down.
” I want you to look into every guard and servant that has had physical contact with Finn for the past forty-eight hours, now I also want an eye on Finn’s mate starting now, I need answers by nightfall.”
” Okay, Alpha.”
Greg left my office leaving me alone and my mind wanders to Finn, wondering why he would go to these lengths to betray his pack and family.
Just then my phone rang, I picked up the phone that was on top of my desk,
” My good friend, today must be a good day since you answered the call on the first ring,” the voice on the other line said laughing,
” It is not a good one, but count yourself lucky today,”
” Then I need to especially thank the moon goddess for this lucky day,”
” To what do I owe this reach out to Alpha Lincoln,”
” Alpha Liam, straight to the point as usual,” Lincoln grumbles,
” As usual now what is it?” I ask,
” I finally found her,” he says,
” Found who?” I asked impatiently,
” I finally found my mate, Liam.”
” It’s about time you did, you old man, at least now you can start having pups,” I said laughing,
” Yea, I know, she is so spectacular and I thank the moon goddess for blessing me with her,”
” Congratulations Lincoln I’m happy for you my dear friend,”
” Thank you, Liam. Now my main reason for calling is to invite you to her Luna ceremony, it’ll mean a lot to me, and the pack of you and your mate could make it,” Lincoln says,
My plate was full of plenty of things that needed my immediate attention, I still had to mark my mate,
” I will think about it Lincoln, I will send a message across when I have concluded,”
” Thank you, Liam, but that is not the only reason I called,”
” My brother spilled some beans about a war coming, he says it is too big, and the plan is to wipe off packs,” Lincoln explained,
” Your brother Henry said this, are you certain?”
” I interrogated him myself the lunatic has been speaking in riddles and has refused to say another word since then,”
” Try to get him to talk Lincoln, if whatever Henry says is somewhat true, then we have to get ready for whatever is coming,”
” Yes Alpha Liam, I’ll try my best to make sure he spills more of everything he knows,”
” Thank you so much Lincoln and congratulations on finding your mate again,”
” Thank you, Liam,”
The line disconnected with a beep, I wondered what Henry meant by war too big is coming, wiping off packs, that lunatic must be up to something again.
