The Alpha & Beta's Regret
The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 115

Jack POV

He mind-linked to Titan to tell him Luna Jo-anne had the ability of a seer, and was willing to help him out, to come to the Alpha office. She was ready to do it now.

“On my way, Beta,” Titan stated without any hesitation, and Jack could feel him on the move a few seconds later.

This was good. Not only could he have his memories checked, he could do so without pain. Luna Jo-anne was not a pack member, so if she wanted to talk to him, ask questions first. Titan would be able to answer them. It might help her do her thing.

He and Rafe got there before Titan did. He had been coming from his home, likely having been sleeping, he’d been awake all night watching Maria and Melissa. Jo-anne was standing there waiting. Ready it seemed.

“His mind is fractured, a spell we believe to erase or change his memories, and then a Luna Order over the top or vice versa, they conflict with each other. Titan himself told Addison he didn’t know what order his memories were in.” Rafe told her.

“Alright.” She simply nodded, she didn’t sound all that concerned about it.

“You’ve done this before?” Rafe asked.

“Yes, not a thing I do at will, don’t usually…but I can, mother taught me properly, I will not harm this Titan, he’ll likely throw up a lot though.”

“Understood, do you want us…”

“No, West and T.J. will be there, I don’t need you. You’ve got other things to attend to right now.”

Jack raised an eyebrow at her questioningly, and she elaborated, “Your families are home, I believe.”

“Yes, how do you know that?”

“I felt them arrive. Alpha bloods are easy to detect for me.” She shrugged “You should go, I’ll relay what I replace when I have the information.”

Rafe opened the door for them and they only stayed until Titan arrived. Both he and Jack nodded to the man as Terence handed him a bucket. Titan looked at it a bit confused. “You’ll not like the sensation and vomit afterwards,” Rafe told him.

“Great.” Was all Titan said.

He and Rafe left and returned to the front to await their parents. He could see the line of cars just coming up the main road now, watched them pull up right out the front, saw his mother get out and look right at Maria and Melissa on those shaming posts. In fact, all of them looked at the two she-wolves.

He knew that all of them would smell the distinct rogue scent on them, they’d yet to be told about the rejections or them not actually being their Mates, wouldn’t yet understand why they were out here.

He stood and watched from the top step as Maria and Melissa both looked at their parents, and started pleading to be let go. Melissa claimed right away that Rafe and Jack had gone insane, had hunted them and intended to torture them, kill them. That the two of them had completely lost it.

He heard Rafe snort “Yes, we’re insane.” All sarcasm and watched as both their fathers walked up the stairs to them.

“Leave them.” Jack snapped as his mother took a step towards them. “Traitors both of them.”

Everyone stopped now, and looked from him and Rafe to Maria and Melissa, then back to them. They all knew it was not a word to be taken lightly.

“They’re insane. We have never harmed anyone in this pack.” Melissa yelled “Why would I?”

“Traitors, both of them.” Rafe stated “Step away from them, and anyone helping them will be seen as traitors as well.” His tone implied he meant it.

Jack watched everyone walk away from the two she-wolves. “What is going on around here?” Richard asked.

“Six and a half years of traitorous behaviour, they are not our Mates.”

“Never were.” Jack grated out “It was a spell to make us think that.”

He watched as Diana’s eyes hardened instantly, felt anger roll off of the former Luna to the pack. Likely, now the current Luna in their pack, would be reinstated until Luci was claimed by them that was. “Proof?” she snarled out.

Jack reached out and moved the collar on Rafe’s own shirt. Not only was there no filigree, but there was also no scar from a marking to be seen. He’d never been marked at all, moved his own collar aside when her eyes moved from Rafe to Jack. No scar on him either. “No actual marking ever took place,” he stated.

“No pain when we severed ties with them either.” Rafe informed her.

“No pains of betrayal when Maria tried to f**k Titan before we understood just what was going on, and she did try.”

He watched as Diana turned and looked at the two she-wolves in question. Then was just gone, raced off at full wolfen speed, yanked Melissa’s head back by a fistful of hair and looked at the woman’s neck. A massive snarl ripped out of her, neither he nor Rafe stopped her.

“Don’t kill her mother, we haven’t gotten all the answers yet.” Rafe did call out to her.

There was also no bite Mark to Melissa, no scar to be seen. He stood watching as Diana slapped Melissa right across the face, heard the she-wolf scream in pain, saw her turn on Maria and watched on as Maria tried to back away, couldn’t go anywhere at all, was herself chained to a shaming post.

She got struck as hard as her sister did, and was left sobbing on the ground. “Be thankful I was told not to kill you.” Diana snarled at them “Or I’d be breaking every bone in your body right now.”

He’d seen Diana on the rare occasion, get this angry when he was growing up, though not often, felt a hand on his arm and turned to look at his own mother “Luci?” she asked softly.

“Still off pack territory.” He told her.

“No, son. Did they harm her, like you?”

“In a round about way.” He nodded “Made us forget her completely,” he sighed heavily now, felt her hand squeeze his arm comfortingly, then she just turned and stalked her way over to the two she-wolves as if to slap both of them herself, watched her squat right down in front of Maria “You’re going to pay dearly for this, and I’ll make sure it hurts for days, weeks, months maybe even years or the rest of your natural life. I’m also going to make sure it hurts all those that you do love.” Then she just slapped her and Melissa as well. Noted she slapped the pair of them on the other side of their faces to Diana.

“A lot has been going on here, I see.” His own father huffed.

“Yes, and a lot we still don’t know.”

“Luci is unaware of what is going on. We don’t want her to know at this point. We’ll tell her when we know the entire truth of the matter.” Rafe told them, “So, none of you will be telling her anything, say hello and welcome back is all that is allowed at this time.”

“For how long?” Richard asked.

“A day or two is all,” Jack said, he still didn’t like it though “Let’s go inside to talk privately.”

“Our grandchildren?” both their mothers stated.

“In the play zone, with Allen and Ian. I’ll have them brought to you.” Rafe stated. “No talk about those two out there either.” Rafe stated “Period. The boys are unaware at this time.”

It didn’t take long for Allen and Ian to stroll into the foyer with the boys. He heard both his and Rafe’s mother gasp at seeing them, watched as the pair of them knelt right down and held their arms out to the boys.

Saw as little Rafe and little Jack, giggled at the two women’s outstretched arms and wriggling fingers, beckoning the boys to come to them. They seemed to understand and let themselves be hugged. He saw his own mother tear up “Gosh don’t you just look like your daddies.”

He couldn’t help but smile himself as he watched his sons not just meet their grandmothers but accept them, and just as quickly as they had Addison. Smiled when they turned to his and Rafe’s fathers and waved hello up at them. Watched as both Richard and Jonathon not only reached down to pick them up, but hoisted them up into the air a little and caught them, hearing them squeal, it was something their fathers had always done with them as well growing up. Hugged them after catching them.

“You laugh like your mother,” Richard told them.

“Makes everyone shiver.” The boys giggled again.

Jack found his mother right there hugging him herself, “They’re so precious.”

He smiled down at her “Yes, they are.” He agreed “Boys?” he drew their attention and both of them turned and smiled at him. “Introduce your beasts.” He stated and saw everyone’s eyes go wide and heard many gasps of “What?” fly around the room.

Both boys laughed and wriggled to get down, the moment they were on the ground, and before he realised what was about to happen, both Astral and Spark were ripped out of them right there in the foyer of the packhouse.

“Might want to phrase that better next time.” Rafe laughed.

“Mm,” Jack nodded, he’d forgotten they were likely too young to understand that all he’d actually meant was to have Astral and Spark push forward in human form and show themselves.

That had not been explained to them, he was going to have to do that. It was too late now, though he could only smile at their wolves, prancing about around all of them here to meet them. Not just his and Rafe’s parents, but both Allen and Ian’s as well. Even Rafe’s two youngest sisters were there staring at them now.

Everyone was getting a real good look at the boys “Astral and Spark.” Both he and Rafe said together, and saw both their fathers looking right at them and then just shake their heads and laugh.

“Of course,” they murmured.

Those two Siren Wolves were happy letting their new family members pat them, be told how amazing they looked, how beautiful and unique they were. Appeared to love the attention they were getting. No issues bonding with their side of the family, they likely could feel the love coming from them, much the same way they had with Addison herself upon meeting their Grammy for the first time.
