Chapter 49

DANE

I leave my mate with her grandmother and head back to the office. I told Nate what I overheard George during the office when I realized what he was doing with Mila and her wolf, he told me not to say anything and that we would come up with a plan once we knew what we were dealing with. I will have to tell Emily when I get back.

I can see Miles with Nate and I wait patiently till they finish. After a few seconds, Miles leaves and I enter the office.

Nate turns to look at me “What the hell did you hear exactly?” he says as he takes a seat on the couch. He looks defeated but I know it is to do with his mate leaving.

I sit on the chair opposite him and relayed everything I heard during that phone call that George had last night.

I can feel his anger rise.

“The son of a bitch is working with the people that want to kill my mate, why?” he says, anger rolling of him.

He looks at me as if I knew the answers.

“I don’t know why but I think Emily might now” I say.

He looks at me but before he can say anything “Nate, I’m your best friend; I would never lie to you. I think Emily might know something but after what happened just now in the office, there is more to the story. I think if she can think back and maybe she can figure it out” I say sounding hopeful.

He looks at me for a moment “I think your right, I think she might” he says and gets up “I’m going to my room, I’m going to mind link my father about keeping George in the cells for a while and his mate too. You go back to Emily and see what she can remember” he says.

We both get up and leave the office, both heading in the same direction as we made sure our mates were near together but I couldn’t help look at him when he walked past Mila’s room, the sadness that comes of him makes me want to find her myself. He looks towards her door for a few seconds and then heads to his room.

I wait outside the room till Gloria and Emily come to the door, I can’t help but smile “All done, everything ok?” I ask I looking at my mate.

“Yes everything is ok but young wolf, keep the marking and mating till after the war as we need her” I smile but Emily’s face goes red as a tomato.

Gloria leaves and Emily opens the door wider for me to come in, we walk in and I can’t help but ask “Can you tell me what she told you?”

She nods, we both sit on the bed and she explains in great detail the story about her father and Yariel, details of what she has to do.

After she explained everything, I can’t help but stare at her with wide eyes, stunned “How do you feel if you have to kill your own father?”

She stares at the floor but carries on.

“I have to.......I have to for Mila, for all of us. My father caused so much pain for everyone, my grandmother and even for his own coven destruction, torturing Mila, taking away every single memories that I had of what he did to her, to me and now he is going to do it all over again” she says “Can I ask you a favor?”

“Anything my love” I say taking her hand into mine “I will do anything you want and I will stand by you in whatever happens.”

She looks at me and smile “That’s good to hear, I want you near or close by me when I kill Yariel and also my father.”

I nod but I can't help but grin “So after the war, I can have you as my mate.”

She laughs and smiles “Once the war is over, I will be all yours.”

She leans into me and places a hand on my cheek, moving her lips closer to mine and she kisses me passionately.

After the short loving kiss, I pull her closer to me and she places her head on my shoulder “You are amazing Emily, we are all grateful to have you here in our pack but one thing I am so damn happy about is having you as my mate, you my own true mate.”

She sighs and closes her eyes.

After a few moments “Emily can I ask you something?” she moves her head from my shoulder to looks at me and smiles “Yes, anything.”

I look at her, I need to tell her what I overheard from her father.

“I have to tell you something and I know it’s going to be hard to hear but I heard every single word” I said “It’s about your dad.”

I take a deep breath and tell her everything I heard last night.

Her face changes and her power is sweeping in, her eyes are purple “Yariel must be working with Devon, dad is in on it” she says, angry but suddenly she remembers something “wait, remember when my father told us about what happened the night that Faith was killed, she made a blood oath with him.”

I look at her, I remember him saying something like along those lines. I nod to her “What if he couldn’t say anything to Yariel or Devon about what happened and that Mila was still alive. The wolves that were coming into the town were rogues, Mila killed them so they would never go back to tell them.”

She has a point.

“There seems to be a lot more going on” she says “It doesn’t feel like Yariel, Devon or my dad is behind this.”

“What do you mean Emily?” I ask, she turns to me “Have you told anyone else about the conversation you overheard?”

I nod “Yeah Nate” I say.

“Ask Nate to come here for a moment, I want to explain to him everything what my grandmother said and also I think I know how we can get my father to talk and reveal a lot more but I need Anna to help me too.”

I look at her and mind linked Nate to come to her room. He came within seconds, as soon as he came in Emily began to tell him the full story that she heard of Gloria and that she told me.

Nate takes it all in and sighs “You think someone else is behind all this” he asks her and she nods “Yeah I do.”

She looks between the both of us “We need Anna and Mile’s help too” she says “I think Anna can help me, I want to talk to my mum without my father present as I think he might have held something back from her too.”

“What do you mean?” I ask her, she looks back with sad eyes “I think my father took some memories off my mother, gran told me that she was the dark fae witch of them all but she changed suddenly. She was this amazing, sweet mother” she says “The woman that my gran mentioned, that’s not my mother.”

We look back at her.

“Why do you need Anna’s help? Why not Archer’s help instead?” Nate asks.

Emily turns to him “Archer will probably will be out looking for Mila, we need to make sure we know what we are dealing with and Anna can help me, during the time when we first met Anna and Miles, both of you said youcouldn’t sense anything from me” she says looking between both of us “When we first met them in the woods by the car, her dragon spoke to me and made me promise not to say anything about who she was. But she also told me she could help me with my magic, help me harness them and make them more powerful.”

“Do you think she will help you?” I ask and she nods “I think so, I trust her.”

We all look at one another but Nate speaks first “I will let my parents know what’s happening. We will need to speak with both Miles and Anna then we will go to the cells to get the answers we all need. What about your grandmother?” he asks “Where does she fit in all this?”

I laugh “Gloria's on our side, whatever happens. She will help Mila. She was the one who told the alpha to get the guards on her own son and his wife anyway” I said.

Nate smiles “Yeah that’s true” he says but his smile goes “What about Mila? When do you think she will be back?”

Emily smiles at him “She will be back. She will be ready to fight and Archer will bring her back to us. We just need to take care of this problem and when she gets back, we can tell her. No more secrets and she can fight whoever it is with all of us by her side” she says and smirks “Nate, when we finish and win this war, both of you will mate and be happy together.”

Nate smiles “You think?”

She nods agreeing with whatt she just told him.

We all believe in it, Mila just needs time to recover after everything. It is a whole load of information overload for her and secrets that have been kept for many years which have not helped anyone especially Mila.
