Chapter 124 124
When they started the investigation into the pack the Alpha started having others come and take us away to be servant’s so we could not be found and be witnesses to what he had been doing." I explained taking a sip of my wine and taking small bites of the salad. I noticed he was not eating salad.
"I see you don't like vegetables " I commented.
"I am a wolf not a rabbit." He replied.
"Ah, but your human side needs the nutrients," I told him.
"Still not eating them," he chuckled. I took a sip of wine trying to think of my next question.
"Hunter is an unusual first name." I commented.
"Actually it is my last Name." He said.
"Oh," was all I replied. He sat looking at me for a couple of minutes. I guess trying what to say.
"My father named me Harry." He said
"Oh, that must have been difficult." I said keeping a straight face. Inside my wolf Midnight was laughing.
"When I came of age I changed it to just Hunter. Being the Alpha’s son and next Alpha, the bullies got taken care of so to speak." He said. Then he rang the bell beside him they came and took the plates away and brought out the main meal, my plate was loaded with almost nothing but meat. I noticed mine was cooked a lot more than his. It sent shivers up my spine. I knew there were those who ate their meat that way but to see it. I had no appetite after that. After a long silence I got up the courage to ask him.
"Alpha Hunter, I have been here a while. When will I get to see my daughter?" I asked quietly. He finished chewing what was in his mouth, then wiped the blood that ran down his chin.
"About that, Raven is away right now, she should be back soon though. I had no idea that they planned to travel, or I would have told you sooner." Hunter told me, but part of me was not buying it.
"They?" I asked.
"What was that dear?" He asked.
"You said they, who is she traveling with?" I asked.
"Oh, yes, yes. My apologizes Raven has a mate. He is an interesting man. An Alpha actually." Hunter told me.
"Is he a good, kind man?" I asked.
"Top notch he is. Puts us all to shame." He said.
"Do they have any pups?" I asked getting excited about my girl.
"No, no not yet, he is about twenty years her senior, but what does that matter to us who can live centuries." He said.
"That is true. Is he her true mate or chosen mate?" I asked.
"True mate of course he waited a long time for her." Hunter said.
"How did he find her?" I asked.
"Clare I think that is enough questions, I should let them have somethings to tell you don't you think?" He asked.
"I'm sorry I guess you are right. I have not seen her since she was taken in her eighth year. It is understandable I would have a million questions." I said looking him in the eyes. He was silent as he kept eating. Then his phone rang.
"Excuse me Clare I need to take this call." He said. Got up and went to the far side of the dinning room. I asked Midnight to listen to the call she could hear anything. I sat and sipped my wine.
"Morris, why are you calling me at this hour?" Hunter asked the man.
"There is some kind of interfaces Clare, I can't make out what the other man is saying. I'm still trying, " Midnight told me.
"When did this happen?" Hunter asked.
"Did you have anything to do with it? you remember what I told you." Hunter said.
"Really, now that is interesting, did they find the person?" Hunter asked.
"Was it serious?"
"Let me know if you hear anything then, goodbye. " Hunter said.
"So sorry about that, a friend just was filling me in on something that happened in another friend's pack." Hunter said. I'm sorry you will have to excuse me I have to make some calls right away. Petra will take you back to your room thank you it was an enjoyable dinner." He said and quickly went down the hall into what I would assume was he office and locked the door.
"Miss I will escort you to you room upstairs then I will being you desert and coffee." Petra said. Waiting for me to follow her. As we passed the office door I could hear nothing from inside. Midnight told me he was not in there. That would mean he had a secret door to the outside. When I got to my room I looked out the window a black truck was leaving the pack in a hurry. I was starting to thing I should have an escape plan, thing did not seem right
TITAN'S POV
Tonight Raven would see the pack would accept her as their Luna. I had Kendra buy her a long black dress the bodice sparkled with amethyst crystals, and the skirt was straight with a slit up one side to her knee. I had Kendra purchase a red dress for Imara it had a tight but modest bodice the skirt was three quarters length. It went well with her blonde hair. Roman said she cried when he gave it to her.
I was dressed in my black dress pants and black silk shirt. I took out my Alpha Jacket that my Father gave me when He made me Alpha. It was covered with all kinds of metals. I kissed Raven and told her I would be back in fifteen minutes I just had to check things. I went down to the great hall that had been transformed into a beautiful room with twinkle lights on artificial trees red carpets a small stage. Raven had practiced going up the three steps for two hours this afternoon. She was so afraid of falling. Her back was almost healed. But you could still see the bruising from where the arrow hit. The cut of the back of her dress would show the wound I wanted everyone to remember that someone tried to hurt their Luna. Some had to know something they just needed to come forward and tell us what they knew.
"Are you happy with what I did?" Fran asked coming to stand by me.
"It is perfect Fran thank you; you did an amazing job." I told her.
"I have put everything on the table on the stage would you like to see it?" She asked.
I waved my hand for her to lead.
"I talked to your mother about how we should proceed with Raven. She gave me the Luna ring and fur shawl. She said it was time to pass it down. The metals arrived yesterday they are here. The special metal for Imara is under the Pack one. Lance will pass them to you as each person is presented." Fran said as she showed me.
