Graysons POV

2 of the four Alphas from Seattle had responded to my gifts. They both had stated they knew nothing ofthat man and if they knew nothing he’d stayed out of their territory.

The alphas in Seattle had reached an agreement in the fifties that in order to stop land grabbing andendless battles they would agree on their territories and stay out of each other’s business.

Luckily my wife’s lesson of giving proper gifts seemed to have worked. They both promised if they didsee Marcus they’d alert me immediately and would vouch for me at council.

A little respect goes a long way it would seem. And some bribery.

The other two had yet to respond and I wondered if either of them were weighing the options. I wastempted to go to the council but that was a card I didn’t want to play just yet I needed the spider out ofhis hole before I brought a boot down on him.

I sent a second letter to the alphas explaining the situation.

I understand you being hesitant to respond. You do not know the circumstances of my search for thisalpha but rest. assured I will explain. He’s kidnapped my wife out of revenge and greed. His uncleattacked my pack member so I killed him then his father attacked me and so I killed him in a seeminglyendless cycle. I intend to finish this and leave the rest in the hands of the Lycan Council of NorthAmerica.

I ask you to help and will gift those who help generous gifts. I have my newborn son to look after andhe needs his mother who sacrificed herself. The Lycan Council knows this and will corroborate mystory and give rewards to the capture of this Alpha.

I explained fully the desperate situation I was in with a heavy handed hint that the council wouldpersecute those who helped the bastard.

In all honesty that wasn’t the truth. If he prevailed over me there wasn’t anything the council could doeven if he had. kidnapped my wife. They’d fine him and if he didn’t pay them they’d act but we wolvesfirmly believed that if you lose in battle the goddess was against you.

I wasn’t much for prayer but I found myself walking toward the moon pool. I took Christian there and satwith him, I asked the goddess to not forsake my son and

to give us back the light that was my wife.

I’d never been so sentimental in all my life but then again what did I know, I wasted months keeping herat bay when I should have bound to her the day we met. Taken her as my wife then and there and kepther at my side.

“Your mother is a rare beauty like ones of old lore. Dark curly hair and vibrant blue eyes with a softface. Your eyes are ours mixed and darker blue with hints of grey speckled about.

“You’ll be more like her than me I guarantee it. You’ll see the world as a beautiful place and you’ll replaceyour wife and have no reservations,”

My baby didn’t wake from his rest in my arms and I didn’t want him to. He’d know a good life in time.

“They responded.” Matt handed me two envelopes.

“It appears barely veiled threats still work.” Matt nodded and I noticed the wince.

“How’s the meds?” I asked him. It hurt with his arm gone and when his b*dy still felt the limb the painwa unbearable.

We’d done our best and the new doctor wanted to fix up the nerves better than we’d been atte

They’re doing fine,” he shrugged. “Still can’t fight worth shit.” he shook his head.

“We can always attach a big ass sword to you,” I turned to him.

“In your dreams,” he nudged me lightly.

“The New Phase pack seems to have an idea of what he was up too,” He pulled their alpha up on thescre

Good pack kept to themselves and they traded in technology. They helped a lot of startups in thehuman world and advanced a lot of technology and medicine.

We saw him enter on the 509 he didn’t stay for more than a day. He loitered on Fifth Street and thenstayed to speak to some rouges in the had part of town before leaving the way he came. No womanwas with him.

We will tell you what we see if he comes back and will be happy to attempt a capture for a price. We’rein need of a new food supplier we’ve had a falling out with our old one and propose a trade deal.

I was readily willing to accept. It was a win–win in my opinion we gave them more food and they’d tellme when the

rat came to town.

I replied and told him it would be a happy alliance and that if they notified me I could fly in as soon aspossible.

I wanted to see the look on his face when I came out of the shadows. The fear in his eyes when Isnapped his neck. He took the mother of my child from me. I wouldn’t be satisfied any other way.

“Well?” My father–in–law burst into the room and my good mood dissipated.

“They’ve had eyes on him and they’re willing to help.”

“Good one of the boys can help them,”

“No.” I corrected him.

The man straightened and I saw his jaw clenched and a vein in his neck bulge. “I believe you statedthat you have a son now and you should stay here for him.”

“When it comes to unimportant rogues. When it comes to the man responsible for the mother of mykidnapping I believe it should be me ripping his head off his shoulders.”

child’s

have accepted your opinion on many things out of respect for my daughter then seeing as we are veryclose to apprehending the villain it’s best to send in those not so close to the situation.”

“What’s going on?” The pack of siblings entered the room.

“I’ve got news from the New Phase pack in Seattle and they’ve had eyes on Marcus. I am gring to go tointercept him. when they send word,” I explained and cured internally for the twon hall debate than was

about to ensue.

“I live you boys should go. For Christian’s sake of course,” they’re father lit me on fire with his giore.

“Bulmur vou don’t trust him and it’s f**king stupid,” James called his father out.

“Elis futher hissed in a shocked state. “A couple of weeks ago you couldn’t stand him!!”

“Yeah until he saved my life for Anna’s sake. We all made a mistake that day and we all had anopportunity to go help hem and mume aus took it. Charlie thought with his cock,” Charlie went wide–eyed. “You get in the glory of the battle. Mum fed me. And I was reckless,” James started tearing up,confessing his own guilt.. “We all made mistakes and if you amd Wim don’t get your heads out of yourasses you’ll lose the chance to save her again.” James shouted waiting up Christian in my arms. “She’sprobably going through hell and she can’t get out and she meets and all you guys are doing is whimingthat he messed up. You’re behaving like children because you feel guilty and it’s despicable,”

“James that’s emanath like you said we all made mistakes. Your parents are trying.” I felt bad for hisfather. Be wa trying to keep his family gether and it was probably tearing him up that he failed hisdaughter. “We’ll all go all four of us,” I patted my son and mind to calm him down and was mostlysuccessful.

“Sounds good to me,”

“I didn’t think with my–Charlie immediately started to defend himself.

“Yeah you did,

“Don’t lie,”

“Charlie,”

“Son honestly,”

Charlie sat there stunned. “So you all know?” Bellooked at us around the room and I couldn’t believehe was that dense in the game of love but considering that most wolves in his position only ever datetheir mate it’s not

unsurprising

“Yes,” I answered while the others looked away.

“Do you think she knows?” He demanded

“Yes, and I think you should probably make a move sand and walked over, clapping him on theshoulder as I walked out holding my son like football. I was tired of their family issues for one day I’d goand take my son for a walk to put him back to sleep.
