CHAPTER 90
Then he planned a day’s event for the rest of the pack.
I told him the even was a bad idea it would make other resent and bully the girls who did show up. He finally saw my logic and decided not to have the event.
"Tyson, is that what you did to the two girls that were at the training yard?" I asked.
"Worse, they are the beauty queen type, you know nail, hair, etc. You know the type. Well, those two lost all privileges to have any of that stuff done until they start coming to training." He said, smiling.
"But who says they will not sneak there?" I asked.
"That is what took me so long. I went and visited all the shops and told them they were not to serve them or be closed for a week." He said.
"Why the long face?" I asked.
I have never been hard on my pack. My father did enough of that. I never wanted to be like him."
"But you're not, this is something they need to learn for their survival. There is no backing out of it now. It will get better they will come around." I told him.
"But what if they don't?" He said.
"Come here, love, let me give you a massage to relax you some. You need to stop worrying so much. Rome was not built in a day."
He came over and sat on the couch, and I started to massage his tense shoulders. He was just starting to relax when his phone rang, he answered it. Then, he hung up. Stay in the house, he yelled and ran out the door.
TYSON'S POV
I got a call. All they said was vineyard two was on fire. I yelled at Nancy to stay in the house. Ran out and jumped in my truck, driving as fast as I could to vineyard two. All our pickup were mini firetrucks as soon as i got there, they hooked up the pump and started putting out the fire. By the time we got it out, we lost over half the crops. I would have to see if any that were left would even be any good. Jaxson pulled up in his truck.
"I was asleep. They just woke me. I came right away. Do you know what happened?" Hey asked coming to where I was standing. We just got it out. They are checking for any hot spots. It will be a while before we can even look." I told him.
"Do you think someone did it out of spite?"
"Jaxson! I don't know!" I said agitated.
"Sorry, I will stop asking questions." He said.
"No, it is ok. But yes, someone did this intentionally. I implemented my new pack law yesterday, and a lot of people got a slap on the wrist for breaking the law today." I told him.
"What new law would cause someone to do this to the pack livelihood?" Jaxson asked.
"The all girls over the age of 13 must start training and all women must take basic training, so they learn to defend themselves."
"Was there anyone who got punished worse than the other?" He asked.
"Actually, yes. Two little beauty queens who think they are better than all the other girls."
"How old are they?" He asked
"Sixteen and seventeen."
"Alpha, as we were checking for hot spots, we found what caused the fire." Brent, one of the field hand said.
"What did you find?" I asked.
"Well, Alpha, they were kids for sure an adult would not leave so much evidence behind." He said.
"Just tell us what it was." I told him, getting impatient.
He held up a bag.
"I collected it using gloves to not any prints that may be on any of it." He said, handing me the bag.
"Brent, we have a flair up. We need Alpha's truck." I threw him the keys.
"I will be careful with her, Alpha." He said as he pulled out and drove it the field.
Jaxson and I looked at the bag of items. There was a zippo lighter a fancy one, too. A couple of disposable lighters. Matches and cigarettes. Brent was right. No one in there right mine would leave the zippo lighter at a crime scene. Especially in a wolf pack where not many smoked.
"Let's get this up to the house, Jaxson." I said.
We jumped into his truck and drove the six minutes to my house. When we went in, Nancy was pacing the floor.
"What happened?" She asked right away.
"Vineyard two is probably destroyed. Someone purposely set it on fire, and we have evidence. I told her. Showing her the bag.
"I will see if Sasha can come in the morning." Nancy said and pulled out her phone to call her.
"Queen Sasha is a really great person she is always so encouraging when she visits the pack." Jaxson said.
"Has she been there a lot?" I asked.
Every six months or so, she likes the thing the elder women make." He told me. Nancy came back over to us.
"Sasha said she will be here after the children go into class about nine. She said to lock it in the safe and not let anyone touch it."
Nancy told us.
"Nancy, how does Sasha know we have safe in the house?" I asked. She looked puzzled.
"I have no idea. She was only in the dining room." We were both confused.
"You got time for a beer? Jaxson. I asked.
"Sure, do if Luna does not mind?" He said.
"Go on, you two, have some guy time. I have a book I want to finish." She said. She went up to our room. I grabbed beer from the fridge, and we went out onto the back porch.
I sat down in the lawn chair, feeling defeated.
"What was in Vineyard two?" Jaxson asked, opening his beer.
"The new grapes for the ice wine." I told him.
"Shit, dud, that is not good." He said.
"Tell me about it. I was expecting the ice wine to cover us next years winter." I told him.
"We will figure it out. But don't back down on your new law. It is more important than the grapes. We can plant more grapes. We can't bring back our women from being killed because they could not protect themselves, "
"I will drink to that I said, and we tapped our beers and drank.
"So, Tyson, you ready to get married in three weeks?" Jaxson asked. We spent 2 hours drinking and talking after that. I asked him to stan up with me at the wedding, and he agreed.
Sasha's Pov
I had been keeping an eye on the girl's hands. So far, the markings had not moved. This was a good thing.
"Quin, I have to go. Nancy is waiting for me."
I told him, putting on my hiker boots.
"I can't believe someone actually burned the vineyard. They will lose a lot of money from that." He said, coming out of the dressing closet.
