The Wannabe Warrior
Chapter 41

Madison POV

Zane had been exhausted when he walked into the pack-house, and to hear he was with Graham doing the last of the cameras, made me angry and proud all at the same time, and then the rogues, shocked, more in the cells only about 290 more to go.

The least I could do was take the last of his energy from him in the nicest way I could think of, and it surprised me at how bold I had got, when I took control, and I loved every part of it, though I would have liked it if Zane had let me taste him for a change pulled me away from him, just when it gets interesting.

I watched him fall asleep and creep out of the room, and head back to the Alpha’s office.

Standing outside his door, I knocked and waited.

I think he is on the phone as I can just hear a voice on the other side, but not what is being said.

As last I hear ‘enter.’ and I am glad I waited and not get impatient and knock again, like I was tempted to do.

Alpha is sitting behind his desk, paperwork piled high and he looks as tired as Zane did.

‘When did you sleep last?’ I asked, not what I planned to say, but he looked exhausted.

He chuckled softly.

‘Thank you for that, I needed a laugh.’

‘Well, when you did, you looked just like Zane did. Is what you are doing so important that you can risk missing out on sleep to do it and risk being too tired to fight if it hit our doors right now.’ Alpha’s eye widened at my words and then chuckled.

‘You are lucky, no one would dare say something like that to me and live to see the next day.’

‘But honestly, you look like you should go to bed and get some sleep.’

‘I understand Madison, now what did you really want to talk to me about?’

‘Um, would you like to step into the other office for this chat?’

The frown on Alpha’s face was sad to see, he was so very tired, not just body but spirit. He nodded and I locked the door and headed to the other room.

Alpha sat and turned to look at me, his face full of concern.

‘Alpha, will you be honest with me?’

He nods.

‘Karen is in the dungeon that Zane talked about, but won’t let me down there to see for myself. I saw her on the monitor, and she was spouting something about calling the Luna, she would get her out of the dungeon. Care to share?’ I went straight to the point, no need to try to sugar coat it, I needed answers, can’t help if I don’t know the problem.

Alpha gave a long sigh and I thought for a moment he would not say anything, and then taking a deep breath, he filled me in with the conversation they had had with Karen and what she had said.

‘Do you want my help with this?’

‘How can you help? I can’t even Alpha command her, as you know you can’t command your mate.’

‘I have a very safe concoction, that is like a truth serum, but better, I offered it to you for the rogues and Dark River Pack warriors, but you can use it on the Luna. We can take her to the theatre room in the guise of us going to watch a movie, I can get popcorn and punch, we can set it up as a four of us get to know Madison and spend family time together, as Alpha and Luna and future Alpha and Luna, I can put the concoction in her punch drink, give it a little bit of time and she will tell you anything, and won’t even realise she is doing it. The concoction won’t act like the truth drug when you are fighting it, this one is more subtle.’ I suggest.

‘I like the sound of that, we can organise it. Say for tomorrow. I can suggest it to my mate today and see if she goes for it. We need a break from all of this.’

‘Now that that is off your chest, will you please go and get some sleep. We can do little more until our guests arrive, we have everything in place, we just wait and monitor. So please, please, please, go to BED.’

The alpha chuckles and pulls me into a hug and k****s the top of my head.

‘Thank you, I will head to bed and get a few hours’ sleep.’

‘Good night, Alpha.’ I said as we left the inner office and opened the other door that headed out to the hallway.

Alpha heads upstairs and I head to Gerome’s office.
