“You can’t be their Alpha. They have one already, so you are Elena’s Luna, Lupha, Luna/Alpha Lupha!” Eli explains. I don’t know what to think of his words, but it explains why Michelle keeps referring to me by it.
“Okay then, I have to get back to the meeting. Hopefully, she calls me; I can’t get a hold of Marco either,” I tell him.
“Really? He hasn’t left. He’s still here.” Eli tells me. “I can get Michelle to tell him to call you?”
“He’s still there?” I ask Eli.
“Yeah, he hasn’t left,” Eli tells me.
“Yes, please do,” I tell him before cutting the link.
“Something is going on. None of this makes sense,” Khan tells me. I have to agree, but until the ban is lifted, I can’t do anything, at least I know she is safe if Marco is there.
Returning to the meeting, I can’t seem to think straight. We go over more details of the strigoi attacks, and we are about to go on a short break when my phone starts ringing, and Elena’s name pops up on my screen. Finally! I think to myself, and I hold up a finger, and Osiris throws up his hands when he is expected to wait.
“Finally, why aren’t you taking my calls?” I ask her when I answer it.
“Is that any way to greet someone?” Comes Sondra’s voice.
“Sondra?”
“Yes, now you need to get that ass out here. Elena needs you. And I am done watching her suffer.”
“Excuse me?”
“Elena has been in heat for days now, with no end in sight, she ordered her pack not to tell you, but Marco has been holding her in the bath for days. I’ve just run out of water, and the injections are wearing off faster each time. Her heat is not breaking!”
My blood runs cold at her words, and it explains the sickly feeling I’ve had for days.
“Are you there?”
“Yes, yes, I’m here. I’m on my way.” I tell her, hanging up.
Chapter Fifty
I snatch my keys off the table and shut my laptop before stalking toward the door, only for Osiris to step in my path.
“You wouldn’t be thinking about breaching your conditions again, would you?” Osiris sneers. He laughs, looking at the other council members.
“You just heard my phone call, Osiris. Don’t pretend you didn’t.” I snap at him and step to the side when he steps in my path again. He blocks me, but I haven’t got time to waste, especially if Elena has been in heat for days, so I let Khan come forward.
“You can’t leave the meeting, Ax–”
Khan punches him, cutting his words off, and Osiris clutches his bleeding face and goes to speak again, only for Khan to kick him in the stomach. He smashes through the door, and I blink in shock, my foot fucking killing with the force he used. Khan then steps out the door and over Osiris’ body.
“You were saying?” Khan snarls at him, and Osiris puts up his hands. Khan shakes my head, giving me back control, and I turn to leave.
“Axton!” Osiris snarls when he grunts; I turn back to look at him to see Soyer standing over him. He dips his head to me, and I smirk, seeing Osiris knocked out on the ground when Cane steps out the door. “Well, he got fucked up!” I snicker and race for my car while trying not to limp.
“I think you broke my foot!” I tell him.
“Get over it. You’ll heal.” Khan snaps at me as I climb into the car. We race toward the borders, and I growl seeing Osiris’ men on the borders, so instead of slowing down, knowing they will just delay me, I speed up, driving straight through the boom gates, wood splinters and smashes, the hood of my car getting scratched to pieces and I see his men rush out of the booths. Turning my attention back to the road.
The drive to Elena’s pack is quick since the roads are pretty much empty, Eli alerts the women in Elena’s pack to stay off the roads, and I am surprised they listen because when I pull onto the long driveway, they are nowhere to be seen.
“Eli, where are you?” I ask him via the mindlink.
“Helping Michelle grab the kid's car seats out of Elena’s car.”
