"Fine, keep an eye on her and mindlink me when she wakes,” I tell him.
"Where are you going,” Ace asks as Tyson takes her from me.
"To ring Aunt Lily,” I tell him walking downstairs.
Chapter 38
Ryker
I left her with Tyson and Ace, my head was swimming, I couldn't understand what was going on with her. Nothing made sense. The first thing I did was ring Lily as I walked to my office, she assured me she would be down first thing tomorrow.
Walking into my office, I mindlink Zane to meet me. Every second felt like hours as I waited in my office, I grabbed the bottle of scotch and poured a glass downing a mouthful. Feeling it burn all the way to my stomach as it warmed me, anything to get rid of this cold feeling that had settled over. I felt ill, my mate has a kid. She has a kid with someone else and I didn't know if that crushed me or angered me. Yet all I could think about was getting her back, she was a piece of my mate. A piece that broke her and that realization made me believe that if I could get her back for her, maybe she would forgive me.
Maybe I could forgive myself for causing her more pain on top of everything she had already endured. I was so caught up in everything else going on that I lost sight of the fact that she was hurting too, that she suffered by their hands and then mine, leaving one nightmare for another. But at the same time, everything suddenly made sense, her obsession with pups even if she didn't fully understand it herself. Her protectiveness over Tyson and Ace
Why she was so odd, her burning hatred toward me and the idea of mates. But her wolf said Reika still wanted me, so maybe I could fix this. I had to at least try. Avery was right when she said how did she stay sane surrounded by darkness, now I knew how. Her wolf blocked it, taking it all and sacrificing herself. I couldn't imagine losing my nieces or nephews, which I would struggle with greatly. They were my world but to have your own child taken from you, would be gut-wrenching and soul-crushing, enough to send anyone insane.
Hearing my office door open I look up. Zane comes in with just a pair of shorts on, his chest covered in sweat like he ran all the way instead of driving.
"What's up Alpha?" He asks, catching his breath before showing his neck in submission.
"I need you to help me organize a scouting team, but so I am not repeating myself so first, we need to make an emergency pack call"
"What's going on?"
"First I want every pack in the state on the phone,” I tell him. We had 8 packs including mine in the state. Getting them all on the phone at once though may prove difficult.
Zane starts dialing numbers, he puts the phone on speaker, telling each one to hold while he merges calls. We ended up needing to use two landlines, each phone only allowing 4 calls to merge at once. I wait drumming my fingers on the desk waiting for each Alpha to answer.
Zane looks at me giving me a nod and I stand up leaning over the desk so they could all hear me.
"Everyone here?" I ask and I wait for each one to verify they were on the line when I was satisfied they were all listening, I told them a bit of what was going on before Drake spoke up.
"So what do you need?"
"I want as many warriors from each pack as you can spare, get rid of all borders, so all packs can cross and I need you all to look for any warehouses or facilities that may be large enough to be used by hunters, I want you to find out where my mate came from"
"What are we searching for exactly?"
"My mate's daughter,” I tell them and the phone goes silent.
"I will be sending as many of my men I can spare to Drake and Tate's, we found her near your borders so I am guessing they have to be close by, I don't care if you have to search every building in the state, you need to find that facility"
They talk amongst themselves arguing over borderlines.
I growl annoyed and the phone line falls silent again.
"There are no borders while this search is on. If I hear about any packs not permitting entry across borders I will assume you are working with the humans and you will be dealt with"
"Fine, what do we do once we find them,” Alpha Mitchel from Howlers pack asks.
"Ring me and I will come to you, any hunters you come across, kill on sight"
I mute the phone listening to their plan before turning to Zane.
"What do you want me to do?" He asks.
"Grab half our warriors and send them to help the other packs"
