The Alphas And The Orphan
Chapter 85

Saturday 3rd February

Star POV

After sleeping for 48 hours, my boys and I got right to work. The body of the man with Anne-Marie has been identified as Kia’s older brother Barton Jr,

Evelyn’s been a huge help, so we thought we’d take her to Ivychurch coven to check if she can recognize any of the dead wolves.

She broke down at the sight of her son. She held him and told him how sorry she was that she could not protect him from the influence of his father and uncle.

The way she excepted that this was always going to be his ending broke my heart.

We were hoping that at least one of the dead was one of the Miller brothers, but we were just not that lucky. She did manage to put some names to faces, but they were all just thugs.

Mary-Beth has discovered a very disturbing link with black market sales of several potions and powders.

Including the chemical heat that I was hit with.

She is now working with Liam and Cam to root out the destination of shipments.

Goddess, I hope they can put a stop to it.

The thought of someone else going through that makes me sick, and I had my loving mates helping me through it, not some stranger.

Interrogations have brought some very concerning things to light.

I already knew that they had tested their product on other powerful wolves, but there has been no sign of them here.

One of the rogues has said there is a compound that houses all the wolves they experimented on, but he didn’t know where the facility was.

Has to be in Hollow Moon, I can’t think where else they would hold them.

Right now we are about ten minutes from the Hollow Moon pack.

We have split into two teams. Ace and Ash have taken half of our warriors and half of the coven warriors and gone after the rogue camp.

Lex and I have the rest and are going after the pack.

The intel from Evelyn is that most of the pack members are harassed and un-cared for.

Both Jax and Barton Miller were cruel and treated most of the pack members appallingly.

So we are going to attack head on.

Time to show the fuckers what I am made of.

They want my powers, so they are going to get them; we decided that I would approach alone, see if I can get the fuckers to come out and play.

Linking my hand with Lex, I give his fingers a squeeze.

“It’s time baby, this is where I leave you.”

He cups my cheeks “give them s**t baby, we will be waiting for when you need us, I love you.”

I walk towards the gates, slightly worried that they will throw something else in my face.

Mary-Beth gave me a potion that should counter anything they may have, but I am still a bit nervous.

As I approach the guards at the gate, they stand at attention.

The biggest one steps forward and leers at me, “can we help you lovely? Are you lost?”

“I am here to see Alpha Jax Miller and his brother Barton. I have heard they are looking for me.”

He raises his eyebrows. The men all look at each other.

“Lady, the Alpha and Beta are not here, but if they are looking for you, then you should keep as far away from them as possible.”

Okay, I was not expecting that.

“Believe me, they have left me no choice. I have come to kill them both before they hurt anyone else.”

The big one stares at me in shock, “this pack is not the place for you, they are not nice people.”

I glare at him, “so why do you stay? If they are so bad, why do your people stay?”

His head hangs down. I see the fear in them, and I make a decision. I link Lex to come in on his own and I look at the men in front of me.

“My name is Star Ravenwood. I am Luna of the Ravens Perch Pack, and I am offering you my assistance. I can see the fear in your eyes, so how can we help?”

They stiffen as they see Lex strolling towards us.

“that’s one of my triplet husbands. He is not a threat to you.”

Lex places his hand on my shoulder.

“Luna, you cannot help us, our Alpha and his brother have gone into hiding, something happened a few nights ago that made them run, but our pack is still being ruled be an army of rogues and witches, they will kill everyone if we try to leave this place.”

One of the other men steps forward.

“they rape our females and will kill our families if we disobey. We are not warriors in the true sense. We have no power. The only reason we are here is to make the pack look normal from the outside.”

“There is also the gamma and delta. They come from far away and have powers that control the elements. One fire and the other water they can make you drown or burst into flames just by looking at you.”

Lex squeezes my shoulder.

“We have come to take this pack. Anyone that stands by and does not interfere with our mission will be offered sanctuary in our pack.”

His eyes glaze over as he speaks to Ace and Ash. “my brothers have taken down the rogues at your southern border, are there any others?”

“Yes, there is another camp to the north. They are closer to the main pack and are more viscous, they have some of our pack members with them.”

Lex looks at me, “do you think you can handle the two elementals?”

I nod. “I think so. Can you guys link your families, tell them to stay inside out of the way, and tell them to pass the message along?”

They nod and I hear the rest of our group joining us. Lex must have called them, “Ok let’s go, can you replace out where the Elementals are?”

All four of them straighten their shoulders. “we will come with you and help you fight. We never stood a chance before, but with your help, I think we can win.”

“Just one question Luna. How are you going to deal with the Gamma and Delta?”

“Easy. They can only control one element. I control them all. There is a reason your Alpha wants me, but this time they have bitten off more than they can chew.”

We march through the pack; the witches create a barrier around us, protecting us from attacks. We pass rundown houses and I see people peeping out of their windows. The pack house comes into view and then I see them.

Hundreds of rogues stand behind two of the biggest men I have ever seen.

“Tink? Lex? We are behind a massive group of rogues. I take the fact that they are facing away from us that you are on the other side of them.”

“Yes Ace, they have two male elementals. Tell your witches to place a barrier around you.”

Lex and I move forward and Lex address the two men. “I am Alpha Alexei of the Ravens Perch Pack. I have come to take this pack and to make the Alpha answer for his crimes against my pack and my Luna.”

one of the men laughs at Lex, and his hands burst into flames.

Okay, if he wants to play, Stepping out of the magical barrier, I laugh at him, “are we supposed to be impressed by your little parlour trick? So you are fire, and your little friend is water? Don’t you kind of cancel each other out?”

He growls and throws a fire ball at me. I catch it in my hand, his eyes go wide with shock, I close my hand and extinguish the flame, then throw my arms up to the sky and call for lightening, the sky flashes all around them, bolt of lightening hit the ground, hitting rogues standing in formation behind them.

The smell of burning flesh and fur fills my nostrils. A huge surge of water rushes towards me, but I flick my wrist and it goes to the rogues, tripping up a third of them.

I bring a bolt of lightning to me, letting it hit me in the chest. My whole body lights up, sparks flying from my hands. I walk calmly towards them.

“I am your Luna, and you will obey me.” my aura wraps around them, “NOW TAKE A f*****g KNEE!” The two elementals drop to the ground before me both baring their necks in submission.

I look at the rogues behind them. I can smell the fear in them.

“WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME OF YOU WERE FORCED TO JOIN THIS BAND OF KILLERS FOR FEAR OF YOUR FAMILIES, IF THAT IS TRUE THEN SURRENDER, OR YOU WILL ALL DIE HERE TODAY, THE CHOICE IS YOURS.”

I mind links my men. “Darlings, I have the two elemental fuckers, but they are strong. I can’t hold them and fight the rogues, so if they don’t surrender, they are all yours.”

“It will be our pleasure, baby. You are so getting f****d tonight. My c**k is hard as f**k watching you make those fuckers submit.”

I roll my eyes and spot three rogues coming my way. Lex yells, “ATTACK!” And the huge black form of Storm rips into them.

I watch from the corner of my eye as my warrior designates all that gets within his reach.

In the distance, I see the enormous figure of Cam barrelling through rogues from the back. It doesn’t look as if any have surrendered.

Rogues kept coming at me, but Fang, Oliver’s grey wolf, took them out. Two more jump on his back and he falls under their weight. I glance to see if anyone is close enough to help him, but I can’t see anyone.

s**t, if I break my concentration on the two elementals then they could escape, but Olly is in trouble. I hear him yelp in pain as another rogue joins his attackers.
