"She had a long day. The twins were here helping her with the photo albums. She just fell asleep." Hailey told me. I nodded and went to change my clothes. When I came out of the dressing closet, I went over and kissed the baby.
"We are going to take the house, Conner, Razer, Francis are coming with me. Are you good to stay with Emma?" I asked. Hailey nodded.
"Be safe." She whispered. I slipped back out the door and went down to the main hall to wait for everyone to gather. At seven thirty, Andrew came bouncing down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" I asked him.
"With you, of course. Andrew, you need to stay here. What if something happens to you." He got mad.
"Did you ever tell my father he could not go somewhere?" He asked.
"Well, no." I said.
"We are family. We are all of the same big pack. I will do what I have been born to protect." Dwayne patted him on the back.
"Well said, son. You just watch your back."
"I will take it. You and Drake are coming too?" I asked.
"Hell, yah, not very often us boys get out to take care of business together." I had to laugh. It was true. The rest of the warriors showed up, and I pulled out the ma of where we were going. Lucky for us, the house back onto a large forest area most of the warriors could run it. Razer handed us shirts that said electricity company on them with weird names like Bob and Andy on them. Then he gave us hazard vests and hard hats.
"What the hell is this?" I asked him.
"Easiest ways in on human residential area boss. The less commotion in the street, the better chances they will not call the local cops." That boy had some smarts. I was glad I made him my second in command. We all headed for the house. I cautioned the guys not to scare the two girls. They were both young. The one being held captive was from Andrew's pack. When we pulled up to the house, Razer got out with a clipboard and knocked on the door. He talked to the man at the door, pointing to the wire over his head.
The man nodded and let Razer into the house he waved to us to follow. The warriors were out back waiting for our signal to enter.
"Who are you people." a young girl asked. We never had to answer she looked at me and realized me.
"Where is my uncle?. I never did anything wrong?" She screamed. Razer shot her with wolfsbane, and zip tied her hand and legs together. One of the warriors took her out and tossed her into the van with the waiting guard. Kill everyone but the girl we are looking for. They let the warriors into the house, and everyone started searching for Mats' sister. They brought in an old woman to us.
"Where is the girl?" I asked.
"What girl would that be?" She asked.
I didn't know if she really didn't know or was being sarcastic.
"The girl being held prisoner here, woman?"
"Oh, well, I'm not sure, I think she is actually dead." She said, scared.
Andrew grabbed her by the hair. where is the girl be held here, you were asked." He let out an Alpha growl. The woman cringed.
"She is not here." The woman cried.
"Where is she then?" he asked.
"Thorn killed her and threw her body down the well out back." She cried.
"Don't you mean Sir Henry? I asked.
"No, Sir Henry brought her here, but it was Thorn who said he did not leave witness and killed her. I was horrified. I just work for the people who rent the house out. I was asked to look after the young girl that came with Sir Henry. Please, I don't know anything.
"What are you, woman?" I asked she became afraid; I looked into her eyes and saw the gold just around the blue of her eyes.
"Are you a wolf or a bear?" I asked.
"Neither I'm a werecat."
"Take her and put her in the dungeon. We will decide what to do with her after." Andrew said. Warriors took her and cuffed her and put her in the other van.
I went out back and used a light to check the well, i sighed. There was a girl in the well, but she was very much alive. We got her out and wrapped her in blankets.
"Is Mat here?" she asked. How could I tell this young child her brother was in the dungeon sentenced to death.
"He is at home. We will take you to your aunt." I told her. Then I waved them to take her away.
"This place is one huge mess." I said to Dwayne and Drake.
"Inside is taken care of Boss." Razer told me.
"Tell everyone to head home. Let's get going."
The warriors took the girl and the woman to the dungeon. Mat’s sister was given to her aunt. I looked at everyone. "I have to meet Joe again tomorrow. I will see you all in the morning. I went into the pack house and to the suite we were staying in. I kicked off my shoes and laid down on the couch.
When I met with Joe, he told me Sir Henry decided he was going to attack the community the day after tomorrow after midnight. I told him we would be ready and then rod home to sit down with Hailey and the family to find out what discovered over in Paris.
ALASKA'S POV
We all had what we could salvage packed. Mom had given us each a photo album of us from the time we were born until the pictures she took of us all at the mating ceremony. I was going to miss mom, but I had my mate and our future a head of us. The four of us would be leaving in the morning. With Jennifer and her mother. It was exciting, but it pulled at my heart to leave mom. I know she would be ok once this Sir Henry ass was taken care of. She still had the twins and Ember my identical twin.
"Alaska, what are you thinking about?" Jennifer asked, lifting her head from my bare chest.
"Just mom. I wonder if the others find it hard. She was always there for us, protecting us and loving us. She made sure we all knew how to cook and do our own laundry. She taught us the joy of winter and the beauty of the first snowfall." I told her.
"She told me yesterday that we all had to come home for Christmas every year no matter how big our families got." Jennifer said, smiling at me.
"Jennifer, when you're ready if you want we can ask Emily and Luke how they were able to have beautiful girls. But only if you want."
