Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 179

Zeke's POV

Moon goddess, where is my mate? I rubbed my hands through my hair as if that would help me think better. I was really worried. No scratch that; I wasn't worried; I was livid.

"Find her!" I suddenly heard Kyle scream. He had a blood rage in his eyes, and I was shocked at what made my brother so upset. The people were trying so hard to replace Naya, and what could have made her the target? Although we have always known that there wouldn't be a mating ceremony without havoc being caused by the rival pack, I was so upset, and I do not think anyone other than my friend could calm me down.

"What's wrong?" I frowned.

Kyle paced about, and the guards scrambled to search for anyone, including Beta Brooke. I heard him whisper to Beta Brooke, who bowed to me.

"Beta Brooke..." I trailed off, a bit confused as to why everyone was busy while I was clueless. If there was no explanation, I would halt everything.

I am sorry, Alpha, but Renee is missing. Alpha Kyle claims she's behind this incident. If she is behind this incident, it means she saw Naya and lured her out. It also means she is with the blood moon pack. I would like to go."

"But you could be taken away too." I quickly injected. What was everyone's problem? Baron Diego was probably aware of the fact that we were going to send Beta Brooke back. "I don't want you going back there. Don't even ask, because I figured out why you couldn't tell me about the secret mission. I was supposed to be offended that you thought me small enough not to handle the news."

Beta Brooke raised his hands to stop me. I cleared my throat in disapproval and was glad when he brought his hands down. If it had been seconds more, I would have snapped his hands into two. I was too irritated to be calm in situations like this. To be honest, it's like I have a million ants in my pants. I could feel half of what my brother and Naya were feeling. That was because I proclaimed Naya my mate, and he did too.

I was sure Kyle could feel it too. We were unstable and trying to hang on.

"Alpha, with all due respect, allow me to do this. I need to pay for the disgrace my daughter caused this pack. I also need to apologize for the way I have treated you.

I shook my head. There was no time for this. "Scar?" I called, to which he ran forward. "Can you send some men to call Tim, Sam, and Vic? I could use their agility right now."

"Yes, Alpha." Scar went out, sending his fastest man to the boys houses. He went with speed

Kyle was beside me in an instant. "What do you need them for?"

I tilted my head, staring at Beta Brooke and wondering if 1 should go ahead with the plans in my head. Tim was a tracker-warrior like his father, and he was younger and better. To be honest, I didn't want my father's men to work for me. I wanted them to train my personal staff-those I hand-picked myself. Those were the ones I could trust to have my back and not act according to experience and whatnot. I needed young minds like me. The elders were enough for the experience. "I need the three to go after Beta Brooke. Tim could track them, Vic could cause a distraction because of how loud he is, and Sam could be our informant. We shouldn't go there blind and without a backup plan. They sneak in and bring her home."

Kyle seemed worried. "But those boys haven't been in an actual war. They didn't do exactly well with Mrs. Lau."

I bit my inner lips. "But they protected Naya, didn't they?"

"Er..." Kyle hesitated. "No doubt they are good, but... he paused. Then his eyes widened. "They are reckless and fearless. They can actually do this. I have a feeling they are made for Beta, Gamma, and Delta."

I frowned. "Isn't that a bit too much?" It wasn't like there weren't other experienced trackers, but I have seen the way Tim worked. Sam was almost invincible in his small presence, and Vic? Vic was just Vic-loud, big, and a good form of distraction. They would definitely go through some training, but for now, what we needed wasn't big, but quick-witted youngsters like me.

Baron Diego was one step ahead. This was a wild gamble over the young and old, but I was capable bringing my mate home safely with their help.

While Kyle and I were at it, waiting and pondering our plans, the man returned with the three sleepy heads.

"Have you guys been briefed?" I asked urgently.

They all nodded, trying to wipe the sleep from their eyes.

"Hey!" I clapped my hands, jolting them. "This is serious. Can you do it?"

Tim nodded. "I am good with my nose, so I'll be going in wolf form."

"Sam, you have to follow closely behind. On Beta Brooke's sign, you should go in and out with my mate without being seen. Can you handle that?" Kyle asked. "Yeah..." Sam trailed off.

Vic scoffed. "Damn! How was she even taken away in this highly fortified place? Under your nose, man."

I smiled sadly. "Your question will be answered another day. Just act as a distraction. You are good at that."

"Can I kick some ass while I am at it?" He asked with a mischievous smile.

I swallowed. They were certainly no ordinary wolves, but Kyle told me they were almost crushed by Mrs. Lau's wolf.

Baron's wolf would kill them since they didn't have as much training as we had, if his minions didn't get to them first. "No. That's not the goal here. You are not to kick any asses.

His warriors are like a million of those things that attacked our school. They might be bigger and better now."

His smile dropped. "Shit."

"Yeah, no shit." I eyed each of them knowingly. "The goal is what?"

"In and out." They all responded shallowly.

"Attack if you are being attacked, but make sure you get out. With my mate, with you." I finished, avoiding Scar's annoyed eyes. He must have expected me to take the best of the warriors like himself. "Now go."

"Why aren't the elders and Marley here?" Kyle suddenly asked, and everyone froze.

The elders didn't live with us in the pack, and it would take some time to get a message to them unless they came of their own accord. They always seem to know when they are needed. I would have loved for them to follow these four. Experienced warriors would do my mate no good. Baron Diego would never expect spontaneous teenagers to rescue my mates. That would be his downfall.

"Where's Marley?" I asked, my heart racing as I scanned the camp for any sign of her. It had been hours since Naya's gone missing, and something felt off. The truth was that without Kyle noticing Renée was missing, we wouldn't have known where to look for Naya, as we had combed the entire area discreetly.

"Alpha Zeke, over here!" Marley's voice echoed from behind me, and I turned to replace her emerging from the shadows, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and desperation.

"What happened?" | demanded, rushing to her side. She fell into my arms, her body trembling as she spoke in gasps. I wasn't expecting her to throw her body on me, but I was glad she wasn't so angry with me. "We were attacked, Zeke. The Blood Moon Pack-they took Naya.

I knew, and it hurt me that I was aware of this information.

My jaw tightened, and anger was boiling within me. "We need to go after them. Where did they take her?" I asked, observing her body. There were different kinds of cuts on her skin and face. What happened to her? "What happened to you?" Her eyes flickered with a mix of guilt and something else.

Something I couldn't pin my hands on. It was as if she was hiding something. "I don't know, Alpha Zeke. It all happened so fast. They overpowered me. I was about to have a heart-to-heart discussion with her when they came out of nowhere." I clenched my fists, frustration bubbling up. "We can't waste time. Beta Brooke and others are on their way to get her back."

"G-Get her back?" Marley stuttered.

I nodded, asking Scar to keep his eyes on her. "Don't lose her again." I gave him a pointed look. This was why I didn't put him in charge of my mate. I made sure Marley stayed close. I noticed that her every move was calculated. I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right, but my concern for Naya pushed those doubts aside. It was better if I channeled all of that toward replaceing Naya.

"Attend to her wounds." I instructed Dr. Ali, who came in later with a frightened look on his face. Yeah, he must be asking how Luna got kidnapped under your noses. Who would have thought Renée would deceive us? It was so easy to deceive the Alpha of the pack because we loved our mate enough to accept her demands concerning Renee.

"We need to be careful," Marley whispered to me as we set out, her hand gripping my arm. "The Blood Moon Pack is dangerous."

I nodded. "We'll do whatever it takes to bring Naya back."
