Twisting Her Fate
Chapter 15

The big black SUV glides silently over the asphalt on the tree-covered road. The group usually fly but it is hardly worth the effort of getting to the airport. Leilani stares out the window at the large golden blonde wolf and the large chocolate wolf that are running beside the car just out of sight. Hudson and Finlay couldn't help themselves and needed to run off some of their excess energy before they arrive at half moon pack and potentially just punch Gabriel in the face before a word is spoken. The five boys seem more on edge than Leilani.

Lani groans as she looks at Madden who is sitting beside her. She presses the button to lower her window.

"You are not" Leilani just smirks. "Watch me"

She strips off and is out the open window before Madden has a chance to land a hand on her. He laughs and starts stripping off his clothes as Leilani lands on the ground with a controlled roll. She stands tall, naked in the middle of the road, a large smile on her face and her arms up in celebration as two wolves come flying out of the trees at the pale woman. She leaps in the air with a laugh as she dodges, four paws land on the ground, revealing a pure white wolf.

Another body comes leaping out of the fast moving vehicle. Landing on four paws is a sandy blonde wolf who darts into the tree line as the three wolves take off in his direction running faster and faster.

Feeling the cool breeze rush through her long fur is just what she needed, she has been trying to work out her approach. She can not lose her cool like she did within the Aquamarine pack because they have a delicate situation. A war between the two packs might end in many causalities which she cannot let happen due to past grievances.

Leilani is not sure if the half moon pack will even remember her at all, but in-case they do, she thinks it is better to keep a certain distance during the initial interaction. So, if she can keep out of sight, maybe scope the situation and just keep an eye from afar that would be for the best.

Even if she manages to control herself, Gabriel did say for her to never return to the pack. So if he was to go and he was to say something, even if she held her tongue, the boys are insanely protective of her. So it would not be of any help to anyone involved if they end up as part of the problem instead of part of the solution. The best way to start talks is not with a brawl.

Given the delicate nature of the matter, she can stay outside, but still hear every word that he says. She will keep an eye on things from a distance. So that nothing spirals out of control. She is the best one to deal with such a situation. The boys are all for just fighting it out. Whoever is the strongest gets the girl. It is the old way and the most effective way.

Leilani is still not sure how Maggie is worth it, but who is she to judge?

Maybe under that poisonous tongue she has a p*ssy of gold.

Unless she has really changed, she can not see how Maggie is fit to be a luna at all, yet somehow she is actually fated to become one.

Leilani runs through the plan with the boys and they are all for the idea. From what Leilani has revealed about what Gabriel has said to her over the years, if he was to say a single word in a similar way, there might be no need for this negotiation because he would be killed on the spot.

They don't like anyone looking at Leilani wrong, let alone being so aggressive, making death threats and general put downs.

There is a difference between facing Leilani's demons and protecting herself and the interests of the group.

They're not particularly in a rush, just taking turns running and playing, they still arrive in the afternoon before they wanted to. Truth be told, even if the journey took six months, they would still arrive too soon.

They stop at a diner for a late lunch and to compose themselves, getting dressed and getting tidied up.

The boys in more official clothing, neat hair, but ton-up shirts, and some casual slacks with canvas shoes, even though they all have their individual personalities, when they are out together they show a coherent front, they show the team on the outside that they are on the inside.

Leilani goes for a lot more casual look as she will not be a focal point. She just wears some black tights and a black sweater vest that is cut off, exposing her midriff.

Not even bothering with shoes.

The black SUV is waved through at the border before proceeding straight to the pack house. The boys are on edge but Leilani is unreasonably calm, helped by the fact that she doesn't actually have to come face to face with Gabriel and she doesn't have to resist the urge to punch his stupid face the entire visit.

As soon as the car pulls up. Leilani swiftly exits the door that is furthest from the pack house, slipping away before anyone can catch a glimpse of her, her black hood pulled over her rather obvious hair.

The four doors of the SUV open at once. All the large men alight from the vehicle. It is rare to see five such large and handsome men in one place at one time. Alpha bloods usually choosing to keep their distance from each other to avoid rivalry, whereas in this group there are three alpha bloods and two betas. It is always a sight to behold.

Gabriel walks out of the back house with Maggie attached to him tightly like the blood-sucking parasite she is.

Her brown hair is dyed a golden blonde colour and her hazel eyes shine with excitement as she looks at the handsome men in front of her.

Gabriel and Maggie have a somewhat open relationship, having a lot of different men and women through their bedroom.

Gabriel grips her hand.

"Not now, not these ones, you've already caused me enough trouble"

"Aren't I worth it baby?"

"Of course"

Gabriel is fairly indifferent to Maggie, but he isn't about to let that pretty boy Alpha, take one from him. Maggie has been his for as long as he can remember.

Sometimes she's a pain in the a*s but she has good blood lines. She knows when to keep her mouth shut, she is good in bed and she cares little about her having other females, which is rare. Most of the she wolves demand monogamy. How could it be possible to be with only one woman in his life?

There is a whole lot of Gabriel to go around and he is willing to share it with all.

Gabriel looks at the line of staunch men. There is not a single smile or a friendly face on any of the five men and they don't make a move. There is no obvious leader and three Alpha bloods, he has no idea who he is meant to greet. The boys give him nothing at all. Just staring him down, assessing him.

Madden: 'Is it just me or does he have the most punchable face I've ever seen?'

Arlo: 'I was just thinking that if I had a choice of beating up my family and getting paid two million dollars or punching Gabriel once, I would probably choose to punch him'

Hudson: 'Punch him so hard that his head falls off his shoulders?'

Arlo: 'You know me too well'

Finlay: 'I want to tear his tongue out that he dared say such things to Lani'

Madden: 'Is that who they are fighting over?'

Levi: 'I guess so'

Madden: 'I feel dirty with the way she looks at us'

Finlay: 'Lani was right, Alpha Storm should be celebrating'

Gabriel just starts feeling more and more awkward, but he doesn't dare make a sound as he watches the men that are glaring at him like they want to skin him alive as they link with each other. This is one of the strangest encounters he has ever had. Leilani: 'Are you boys going to actually say anything? The faster we get this done the better'

Leilani looks around, there is not much cover close to the situation except for near the pack house, so she makes a move.

Finlay extends a hand.

"Alpha Hutchins, I am Alpha X and these are my brothers"

They don't use their real names, obviously their faces can be recognized, but they don't want their names spread, they don't want their families seeking them out now that they have some money and power.

Gabriel raises an eyebrow at the man as he shakes his hand. Finlay grips Gabriel's hand so tight that the little bones can be heard to be breaking. Gabriel should be happy that it is all Finlay does as he would rather remove the hand.

The look in Finlay's eyes is so cold that Gabriel is somewhat shocked. He has heard good things about this group, that they are able to rectify the most complicated situation with minimal effort.

He had heard that there was a stunning beauty that leads the group, but looking at the five men he guesses that that was a lie. He was looking forward to seeing the so-called goddess.
