Hearing what was happening over at Autumn Valley Pack was tearing me apart. And to know there was so little we could do from here right now broke me even more. I hung up the phone from Morgan and Marc and looked across at Jordan, whose eyes were filled with defiance. “Dad, you know there is not a lot we can do, right?” he said, and I began to wonder if this boy was mine at all. Or if he had what it took to be a Beta. This was his sister, and he was ready to sit and wait for Miles to bring her back here?!
I shook my head at him in disgust. “You might be ready to sit and wait, Jordan, but I am not. Did you hear what your sister and her mate even said?! Everything that boy just said was right.” I said coldly, referring to Marc, as I pushed back my chair, and moved toward the door.
I needed to find my friend. He needed to deal with his son before I did, and if I did, I know I would not be forgiven. I moved along the packhouse corridor, already sick of this day. A day that was meant to be one of celebration, but had turned into one that was nothing but a disaster. All at the hands of Miles - our packs apparent upcoming Alpha. But that should not be allowed to happen, and it was about time his father realized it.
Thankfully, guests were dissipating from the pack now as the celebrations seemed to be drawing to a close. Though the drama queen of a bride and her family had already made a sharp exit as suggested from the back doors and returned to their pack with an offer of another large payment to their pack to keep this whole sorry mess quiet.
Though, whether I agreed with it or not was yet to be decided, but I knew one thing, I would be ensuring that Miles did not become Alpha. That had been decided within my mind the moment I had discovered he had killed yet again for no real reason. He had no control and no discipline. He did not have what it took to be an Alpha. He was a bully. Brutal and cruel. But, I wanted the reputation of the pack to remain intact for the benefit of Ellis, for it was him that deserved the title; and I would do all I could now to ensure it was him that took that title from his father.
I knocked lightly upon the door of the Alpha office before walking in. “Marshall, we need to talk.” I demanded as I walked in, to find my friend sitting at his desk, looking more than a little stressed as his eyes met mine.
“What now?” he grumbled, and I felt ready to rip his head from his shoulders now, but held back to see how he would react to my news first…
“Well, where would you like me to start? Your son, your delightful fucking son, has been hunting my daughter down, as we full well know, and it appears he hired the assistance of rogues. Morgan has now just called to say they were attacked as their car broke down. Bailey is still missing, and from what both Marc and Morgan saw, it looked like the rogues were targeting Bailey. That son of yours needs dealing with. I want him locking him up. He is not fit to be Alpha.” I snapped.
