James' POV
I was in my office with Alex, Amber, Justin and Damon. Apparently another pack had gotten word that we had brought a human to the pack territory and they wanted to know what the hell was going on. As soon as I mentioned Avery's name however, the alpha on the other side of the phone line bent over in laughter, at least that's what it sounded like. I just let out a sigh and massaged my temples, waiting for him to finish.
" It sounds like you're having a seizure, Alpha Dominic." I exclaimed in a bored tone, hoping my words would bring him back to the conversation.
"Oh, I'm sorry, son, I just, hahaha!" The old man really couldn't help himself. Part of me understood.
You see almost every werewolf around the states had heard about Avery and the deal. At least the marriage part. They also knew that her parents didn't want her and that they too were werewolves. But they did not know the truth about where she came from or who her father was. They all thought that Avery's mother had been unfaithful and that Avery was an illegitimate love child.
" Okey okey, I'm good now." Alpha Dominic said sounding out of breath. I looked around my office and everybody rolled their eyes and shook their heads.
" So you finally have her now, huh? I heard that her beauty is exceptional. Is this true?" I growled in response which caused him to chuckle. An alpha, chuckling. Jesus Christ this man could get under my nerves.
" I will take that as a yes. I'm just playing with you, James. I'm happy she's finally where she belongs. At least you can give her the life she deserves. How much does she know about herself?" That was a good question.
"Nothing, I think. She just found out this night that her parents are werewolves so she will probably have questions once everything has calmed down." I responded.
" Very well. A little tip from the old man, Alpha James, whatever questions she has, always answer with the truth. It's the only way that this is going to work. She is a special girl and you're lucky to have been paired with her. We all expect greatthings from the two of you. People talk, Alpha. I don't know how considering that she is human, but that human girl of yours is meant for great things, things that concern all of us. And only with you by her side will she be able to do it. The two of you are going to do it together." I took in his words. His voice changed from playful to serious in a nanosecond and I could tell that he meant serious business.
I was planning on telling her the truth, I just didn't know how. But I was going to have to figure it out pretty soon.
" I know Dominic. She deserves to know, and she will when the time is right. She has been through a lot. I don't want to spring a shit load of information on her."
Dominic has been like a second uncle to me and my siblings ever since we were kids. He always took care of us when our parents were too busy with pack matters. He knew more than the other Alphas did regarding Avery.
" Good, and remember, she must be kept safe. There is a reason why he impregnated Madeleine to begin with. No matter what Jack and Madeline did they couldn't kill the baby while she was in her mother's womb. She was protected and I believe it was him who protected her. Whatever he has planned, she is a big part of it."
Dominic's words cut through me and I felt both enraged and scared at the same time. Everyone in the room looked at me with worry.
" I think you're right." Was all I said before we bid our goodbyes and hung up the phone.
" Amber can you get Avery in here? I need to speak to her," I told my sister. She tensed up.
" Um, she's outside in the garden,"
"WHAT?" I roared loudly enough for everyone in the room to flinch. The authority was evident in my voice. I flew up from my chair and slammed my fists down on the table.
" I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE HER ALONE OUTSIDE!" I was now seething staring into my sister's eyes, herwhimpering in her seat as my Alpha aura filled my office.
Then I received a mind link, as did everyone else in the room.
' Alpha, I just wanted to inform you and the others that your girl is currently in the garden... with Natasha'
Fuck! Was the only word repeating it self in my mind.
With those words being said, everyone's eyes widened. They all flew up to their feet and dashed out of my office and towards the garden.
