“Back to what you were saying, Alpha Brett. How many rogue attacks have you had in the last month?” Duke asked. Alpha Brett slumped into his seat. He straightened his tie and rubbed his temple.
“This has been the most attacks we’ve had in a month. We’ve had ten attacks but that isn’t the crazies part.”
“Oh?” I asked.
“The victims were found with bite marks on their neck. The wounds weren’t inflicted by a wolf .It seems the rogue wolves are working with vampires,” Alpha Brett answered, in a hushed whisper.
“Vampires? Why would they work with wolves? Not just wolves, rogue wolves. They can’t do anything for them. They have no loyalty, no-… Wait. They can add onto their numbers, their strength…” I observe.
“Why would the rogues work with the vampires though?” Alpha Brett asked.
“If the vampires offered them a home, a place to call their own, the rogues may have bit. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me,” I said.
“Goddess. We had to dispose of all the bodies. I don’t have proof. We can’t keep the bodies in case they turn,” Beta Dom spoke up.
“I don’t think a vampire’s bite can turn a wolf,” I said. “There has never been an instance where that has happened.” Alpha Brett and Beta Dom exchange a look.
“A vampire’s bite can turn a wolf,” Beta Dom said.
“That’s not possible,” I laughed.
“It is. We may not have any of the victim’s bodies as proof,” Beta Dom said as he leaned closer, “but we have a turned wolf locked in a cell. We wanted to request your help in finding out who they are.”
“They?” I asked.
“The vamps that are working with the rogues. We have our suspicions but we need proof, absolute proof. Only then can we dispose of the vamps and the rogues,” Beta Dom said.
“And what of the turned one that you have?” I asked.
“It’s one of my members. She was bit during the attack and has sworn she still follows me, but how can I be sure when she’s been turned? She could be a spy now. So for now, she’s a prisoner, but as soon as we have caught the ones in command, she’ll be put down like the rest of them,” Alpha Brett said.
Please keep us informed when you find anything out. Our territories are close so I’ll tighten up security,” I said. I looked to my Beta and he nodded. “We wouldn’t want them getting a hold of any of our members and turning them.”
“Yes, Alpha. I’ll get on that as soon as we get back. I’ll inform Danny and we can work on it,” Beta Duke replies.
Alpha Brett opened his mouth to say something but closes his mouth as he looked over to the window. His eyes widened and I followed his gaze. He’s watching the man at the other table.
“Excuse me for a second, my son is seated at the other table. He seems to be on a date,” Alpha Brett chuckled. I turn and nod but my eyes aren’t on his son, they are on the girl.
“Son, what are you doing here?” Alpha Brett called.
I watched as the male wolf straightened and looked around the room. When his eyes locked with his father’s he got to his feet. His eyes darkened as he looked over to our table and noted me and my Beta. He made his way over and I can barely smell her. Her scent is weak but it’s still there. As she got closer, her scent grew stronger.
“Good evening, father,” he greeted and gave a slight bow. “Greetings. My name is Dylan,” he said as he acknowledged me.
“Pleasure to meet you,” I answered in response.
“What are you doing here?” Alpha Brett asked, his eyes wandered over to the woman that stood behind him. I take in the parts of her that are visible.
She’s beautiful.
“I’m here on a date with my girlfriend. I didn’t know you would be here. What a coincidence,” Dylan answered. He caught me staring at his girlfriend and I smirked when I the vein in his temple began pulsing.
“Why don’t you bring her over and introduce her to your old man?” Alpha Brett pressed.
Dylan clenched his jaw before he nodded and reached back for her. She took his hand and he yanked her forward by his side. I fought the urge to growl at him for manhandling her. I don’t miss the slight tremor in her hands, the way her eyes search his face before she balled her free hand into a fist.
“Father, this is my girlfriend, Amia,” Dylan introduced his girlfriend to his father. “Amia, this is my father, Alpha Brett of the Bleeding Moon pack.”
“Hello,” Amia breathed.
“It is a pleasure to meet you, Amia. You are a beautiful young woman,” Alpha Brett said with a nod.
“The pleasure is all mine, Alpha,” She said with a tight smile. Dylan nodded and wrapped his arm around her waist.
“Enjoy the rest of your evening,” Dylan said in a low voice before turning.
“You’ve got a beautiful girlfriend,” I said. she turned to me, her eyes widened. Dylan visibly stiffened beside her. He clenched his jaw before answering.
“She is.”
He led her back to their table and she turned her eyes down to her plate. The table is quiet for a few minutes before the Betas filled the silence. I felt her gaze on me a few times before the meeting is finished. I smiled at myself when a thought crossed my mind and for once, Kai growled in approval. We said our goodbyes but my eyes lingered on their table before I force myself to get up and walk out.
