Chapter 56
NATHANIEL
As we both head back into the pack house, Miles and Anna are waiting for us. Miles is looking down the corridor to a certain room.
“I think we should leave her for tonight, she might be resting and sleeping. Hopefully she will be that refreshed, also not so angry” says Anna, feeling hopefully. “Miles, let’s turn in and we will see Mila in the morning.”
He looks down the corridor but turns and nods at her but before he leaves, he turns to me and Emily “I heared what you said about whom to trust and I believe what you said. We are to be trusted as I want what’s best for my sister, I know that I have only known her for a short time but I know my mother would want me to look for her” he says with a touch of sadness in his voice. He turns to Emily “I am so grateful to you for being there and supporting my sister, Emily” he says with a small smile.
“Let us know where and when you want to meet to discuss the rest of the conversation from the cells. Nate, deal with your father” he says as he turns away before mentioning “I think you will make the better choice of Alpha for this pack, not him and you will have our support in whatever you do.”
With that, they both walk away to their rooms. Emily is looking at me with some concern on her face “How are you going to deal with your father, he wants Mila for her power and Anna is right though, we need to give Mila some space as she will kill him if she finds out” she says.
I stare blankly at the corridor that Miles was staring down, I really want to see my mate and make sure she’s ok. But I know everyone is right, she needs her space.
“After we deal with dad human, we see mate” says OX, I can feel is anxiety coming off him.
“What’s wrong with you?” I ask as I walk towards the office door, I open the door for Emily to enter.
“I think father human should die for what he wants from our mate. We don’t control mate, she will help us with our pack. You father human is stupid” he says snarling as we walk in, we notice my father is sitting on the couch with each guard either side of him and Dane sitting in front of him in a chair. My father looks pissed.
“Hey Ox, stay close, I might need you” I ask my wolf, I don’t want to come off scared of my own father and I’m not afraid of him but I never know what he will say.
Dane sees me and get up to stand where Emily is, he puts his arms around her and sniffs her neck. He must have needed calming down for a while.
I take the seat in front of my father, I turn to the guards “YOU BOTH CAN STAY OUTSIDE THE DOOR, I CALL YOU IN WHEN I NEED YOU” I say snarling; they both nod and walk out of the room.
“You and Mila will need to mate soon, son” My father says.
A growl slips through my mouth “DON’T TALK ABOUT HER” I say through gritted teeth.
“I want to know why you think it is a good idea to broadcast what you want me to do with my mate in front of a prisoner” I snap.
My father’s gaze lands on me, he smirks “You know what you must do, control that woman and have her under your command or I will, simple.”
Both Ox and I growl loudly “You won’t go near her, she will kill you” we both say together.
He looks shocked to hear both myself and my wolf come together but soon changes his facial expression quickly.
“Something is off with the alpha” says Dane through our mind link “Like he is not our Alpha. What was his scent like to you, it smells off to me.”
I look at my father and then sniff the air. Dane’s right, my father who smelled like forest wood, now smells like he has a gone off smell coming off him. “Dane, excuse yourself and Emily, explain to her what is going on, he is definitely not my father at the moment” I say back to him.
Within a few moments, they both leave. I stare back at my father, who is so in grossed in watching them “You see, they will mate and Dane can control his mate too.”
I looked stunned. This is definitely not my father.
Both of them come back in and stay behind me but my father who now is staring at me but no emotion or anything “What gave it away” he says smirking “The scent obviously but I can sense your fathers emotions and what he wants, trust me young Alpha he wants the white wolf to make his pack more powerful. I just used his feeling more.”
I growl loudly with Ox coming closer to the surface “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!” I roar.
I notice Emily making her way around the couch while I have him distracted. He focuses on me, never taking his eyes off me.
My father looks back at me “Why young Alpha, you will be meeting my army soon, just hand me the white wolf and I will lose some of the numbers for you” he snarls “you see I need your little mates blood to make me more powerful. If you don’t hand her over, Devon my son will kill you and everyone else you care about, just hand her over” he says with a snarl.
“You will never have her” I growl.
“You don’t have her either so it is only fair if I have a choice too” he smirks and grunts as Emily places her hands on each side of my father’s face and started mumbling some chants.
My father soon starts to scream, loudly as the force of the power that concealed within him comes to the surface “I will kill you and everyone she ever loves” the voice says before it leaves.
Dane opens the window as the mist that’s comes from my father’s mouth leaves and disperses into nothingness.
After a few more moments, We all look back at my father who is out called, the door barges open to reveal Miles, Beta Michael and Anna standing in the doorway. Anna scrunches up her nose “Dark magic” she says as she comes closer to Emily who is leaning against the wall for support “Who was in control” she asked Emily.
“We have no idea” I say.
“I need to see Mila” I say suddenly “I feel something is off, it’s what she just said, I don’t have her either.”
I get up and run out of the off office door and straight to her door.
The door is open a jar, not locked. I walk in and call out her name. There is no sign of her. I check her bathroom, her windows and even under her bed and closet, wishing thinking I know.
Emily, Miles, Dane and Anna are standing in the doorway “She’s gone” I say with tears in my eyes, sitting on her bed.
Anna turns and runs out of the door, Emily and Miles look around. Emily comes across the dresser and finds a piece of paper tucked under the mirror. She opens it to read but she closes her eyes and hands it to Dane who hands it to me.
I opened it, it read:
I have to leave. I need to find my own way. I will be back when I can. I’m not alone. DO NOT FOLLOW OR LOOK FOR ME. PLEASE.
I close my eyes, she left me.
Anna runs in with tears running down her cheeks “Archer has gone too, he left a little note saying not to contact him or follow them. Nothing else.”
We are all beside ourselves. How can she leave without telling us? Why?
I can feel Ox whimpering in my head for our mate “I did not know mate was hurting, they masked their scent” he says with such sadness in his voice. He is hurting and missing our mate.
We all stare at the room, not knowing what to do; Miles is by the window and opens it.
We are all in pain, anger of them leaving, not telling us why they left but also the suffering of our mate bond as we cannot feel her or her wolf.
There’s a light breeze floating into the room, but the stench that comes with it was horrible, rotten eyes and the smell of death.
ROUGES and loads of them.
The war has come. We are without Mila, but we have to fight.
“We have company” says Miles staring out the window, he is snarling at the image in front of him.
I get up and place the paper in my pocket.
Walk over to see what he can see.
We are now in war.
With fast acting, Beta Michael is delegating orders to all the warriors.
All pack members are now forming outside the territory but closer to the pack house, from the forest many are waiting for orders,
Using our wolves senses we can estimate about 3000 rogues, maybe more.
All the women and children are running to the pack house to safety.
My mother barges into the room “WE ARE UNDER ATTACK” she screams.
We all have to put our feelings aside about Mila.
We need to fight to the death, I need to kill rouges.
We all run and make our way to the front of the pack house, all the warriors, men and women look up to find me standing there.
“KILL THEM ALL” I roar “NOT ONE IS LEFT ALIVE.”
I turn to see Anna, Dane, Miles, Emily, My Mother and Beta Michael looking back at me, before I can say anything, my father looks from behind them. The glare of hatred is there “I WANT WHOEVER CONTROLLED ME” he roars and comes towards me, he place his hand on my shoulder and leans in “Son, We are at war. Once this is over, I am steeping down. You are the rightful ruler of this pack. I’m proud of you” he says but before we turn “I’m sorry about my feelings and emotions about your mate, I would never use her for our gain. I promise” with that we all are fired up to take down every single one of these rogues.
Before we leave, I can feel Ox getting ready to fight, we are going to kill them all.
“DEVON IS MINE” I snarl and roar “FIGHT TILL THE DEATH, NO PRISONERS.”
“CHARGE” I roar and we all start running to fight for the pack, our lives and for Mila.
