White Wolf Hybrid
Chapter 21~ Rogue dancing

Blake’s POV~

My smart girl! Michael hasn’t stopped pacing since Cody walked out. Alexis has gone to order lunch brought up. We are waiting to hear back from Cody.

“Michael, now would be the time to talk to me. I can’t help you, if you aren’t truthful. We have known each other a long time. What’s going on? You have until I hear back from my people to let me in on whatever this bullshit is”

He shakes his head “You have gotten my mate and my son killed. That’s what this bullshit is! They are holding my pack hostage…and my family is in the cells. What choice would you have? What would you have done?”

🐺 Cody? The entire pack is being held..Michael’s family is in the cells. 🐺 What the actual Fuck!? He couldn’t just tell us that from the jump? He better hope he’s not lying! Okay, Alpha! We’re going in hot! Taking out anyone who resists..and it’s on him!”

I look at Michael “Hopefully, that is the truth! My people are going in hot! This is either a rescue mission or it is an annihilation. Which is it!!?” Alexis rushes in “Matthew is saying we have rogues in the northeast sector! Damon has sent warriors. I’m going, too!” I jumped up… grabbing Michael by the collar “If I lose one… ONE… of my people, you are a dead man!” And we ran for the border.

This is not how I saw this day going. Reaching the border, we arrived just as 50 rogues charged from the wood line. Halfway to our border’s edge, everyone of them slammed into an invisible wall. Our people looked back at their Luna. She smiled and waved “Shield… just a little one.. gonna keep them out, but y’all can go through it” And we laughed.

I looked over at her and said “Freeze this piece of shit? I want to dance with some rogues.” She walked over to Michael… said “In a different lifetime, we might have been friends..if you were a decent guy..you know, not like the asshole you are now!?” And she froze him in place.

Within minutes, half of the rogues were down…the other half were running away, being chased by our fighters. I shouted “Lexi.. I got one survivor.. can you heal him enough for interrogation?” She nods and starts to walk away.. then stops “Danny.. stay beside this bastard. The freezing spell is about to wear off. Don’t let him run away” then continues to me.

Both Michael and the rogue were in the cells, by the time Cody walked back in.. “ Michael didn’t lie. His pack was full of rogues.. we brought back two.. in the cells as we speak. His family, however were in the safe room in his office. They are outside… figured you will want to question them without that Alph- hole’s presence!” I nodded and signaled to bring her in.

As Laura was getting seated, Alexis poured her a cup of tea… handing it to her, she came and sat in my lap. “Laura, I would like to preface this meeting by saying, I am hoping for honesty. I want to get to the bottom of this.. because, if I am being honest with you…what you have to say could be the difference between you going home with your mate..and you going home a widow. Now tell me, what the fuck is going on at Bear Creek!?”

She trembles and stutters “I..I..I am not completely sure. Two months ago, Michael came home, from a trip to the east.. Missouri.. or someplace.. telling me he has a good opportunity to earn quite a bit of money. All he had to do was offer safe shelter for some men.. doing some private contracting for a member of the royal family. Michael told me all he was told is they are doing recon on all the packs and Alphas in the Northwest. I always thought it was more than that, since my son and I have literally been living in the safe room for the duration of time these strangers have been around.”

Alexis said “That’s not feasible. You don’t strike me as a stupid woman. Yet, you sit here…expecting us to believe these men walking willy-nilly around your pack convinced your mate that they are there, solely on recon? Those fuckers stink of rogue! It’s a distinctive odor… you can’t mistake it for bad cologne! Much like whole line of hog slop you and your mate keep slinging! I have an idea! How about we just call Aunt Helena, love?” I nod at her knowing she’s going to have her bring truth potions over. They only work on wolves that still have a modicum of decency… so I doubt it will work on Michael…but still worth a shot!

Helena and Max walk in about a half hour later… She hugs Alexis and says “Everything is ready for your Luna ceremony and I will be here Friday to supervise all the decorations and menu prep.. tomorrow we have to shop for your gown!” …eeeeep.. Poof! Helena laughs her ass off… “Still glitches?” I laugh and say “Oh yeah!” Then we hear “Goddess damnit! LUNA! This was my favorite shirt” and Cody walks in with chocolate milk all over a light blue Henley. Alexis apologizing profusely and the rest of us can’t hold the laughter! I asked “You glitched to Cody?” She nods sheepishly and I laugh even harder “Sure this ain’t the matrix, dude?” He flips me off and Helena waves her hand… cleaning Cody’s shirt with his asking “Can you fill my glass with more chocolate milk, too?” And Laura snarks “Glad everyone else can be happy!” So Alexis slaps a zipper over her mouth… The next five minutes spent with Helena scolding Lexi…until she took it away. This day sure took a turn.

I looked at Laura… while Helena handed her a cup of her ‘special tea’ I said “We will all sit quietly while Laura relaxes and finishes her tea. I poured a whiskey and as I went to sit, Alexis took it and was sipping on it. I am.. I was..wait.. Guess I will get me one now!? Handing Max one, and then… getting myself another.. I sit down. Helena happily smiles as she sips her own tea beside Laura.

I sit watching Laura.. as the tea starts to settle her nerves, we all watch her relax. Helena works her magic, by chatting about Laura and her son. Patting her hand every once in awhile…making her feel the empathy Helena emits with everyone
