Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 199

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 199

Andrei POV

“What is going on with the rogue situation?” Dominic asks, sitting on one of the bench seats while I turn the barbeque on. My father goes inside before returning with sausages and steaks and passing them to me.

“Yes, apparently   you have dealt with them before. Reaper wolves attacked my pack last night, and went after my  mate  and Jonah. They seemed  to  be the only places targeted” I tell him and he instantly sits straight before leaning forward and clasping his hands together, his elbows braced on his knees.

It was odd seeing Dominic   so casual looking. If I could get past the dramas caused with Jonah I would probably get on pretty well with him.

“You know where they are?” Dominic asks.

I go on to explain everything to him and he listens intently before making a few phone calls and walking off when Zane comes around the back of the house.

“Smells good”

“Yeah, about to sit down and eat if you want to join us, what’s up?” I ask him.

“Bus will be here around 1 pm”

“Good, I am coming with you,”   Dominic says, having hung up the phone.

“You want to come pick up the rogues?’ I ask.

“You want my help, I am helping.  I have men on the way already, they should be here by two, we will leave after that” Dominic  says before looking at Sage as she comes out the back with the kids.

“Sage, do you mind watching Kyan for me for a couple of hours while I go with Andrei to the rogue camp?”

“No, he is fine here, I can watch him” Sage says looking down at Kyan who runs off with Jonah to go roll in the grass.

“Well that settles it then” Dominic says and Zane speaks.

“Good, I  will get some people  ready,”   Zane says before walking off.

Everyone ate lunch and we made sure the kids were all fed, setting them a little picnic on the back lawn. We were discussing the rogue situation and going over some maps on the outside table while we were eating  so  I could show Dominic where we found the other rogue camps. Just over the last few weeks we had noticed they shift around alot never staying in one place for long when Dominic points to two towns on either side.

“They must have permanent residences in one of these two towns, there seems to be a pattern if your locations and times are correct. You said the rogue woman are picked up randomly making me think they are called in”

“ It’s a patrol  roster, you said at night that  your scouts said these two camps are randomly manned, were your men keeping track  of  the times they would see women come and go from  the camp?” Mateo asks.

“Um yeah” I tell him, scrambling through the papers when my father pulls out the journals.

“He is correct, these two camps both have roads leading in and out of the camps and the roads leading into those have straight access to both towns. Look at the times, they match up too for the girls and the camp rosters”

“What about the other two camps, this one is also manned at the same time but doesn’t have a road?” Kat says, pointing to the map of the other two

camps besides the ones that are hardly used further out.

“That must be where the calls come in, there is a phone tower there, the rogue camp has no reception, they must   take the calls here and then someone from these two  camps pick them up when called” I tell them when I look at Dominic, it made sense but that just unsettled me more.

“They have an Alpha, the only way to communicate is mindlink if not by phone, so unless they have made a pack there would be no way to get a hold of them” Mateo says what I am thinking. “

“So it’s  definitely a patrol roster,   the other three camps they have been spotted must be dummy camps, to throw people off. I would bet they have two residences, one each town depending on the calls  they  get decides where  the girls get sent” Mateo adds.

“They wouldn’t be taking them to the residence though,   it would be too risky. Did they say where they were meeting the buyers” Dominic asks and I shake my head, that was one thing  they were never willing to give up.

“No they said when they were never taken into  the towns to meet up, so they must take them somewhere else” I look over at Sage, her eyes trained on the map, my stomach rolls at the dark look on her face. I could see what she was looking a t and two seconds later she confirmed it.

“They are taking them to Flower Meadow. Flower Meadow runs directly between the two towns and is only ten minutes from each one but also on each end there are camping grounds for tourists” Sage says.

“You’re sure?” Dominic asks her.

“It makes sense and I was taken from there along with my mother when I was kid, they were staying  at the camping   grounds there when they came across us. When we  heard of flower meadow and  asked to go, it was because one of the locals mentioned it but he said be careful the camping grounds out  there got pretty rowdy  of  a night with the tourist, maybe they weren’t tourists, maybe it was this Reaper Wolves, ” Sage says making me wonder if the men that took her were apart of this organization.

I had more questions but I knew she would be uncomfortable answering them when her eyes went to mine. She sighs rubbing her temples. I never  brought this stuff   up with her. I waited for her to tell me not wanting to drag up her past.

“Just ask, I know you want to ask me something. If it helps I will try to answer if we  can get them away from this camp ” Sage tells me. Dominic was watching her curiously, he was the only one unaware of Sage’s past  at  this table. Dominic tilts his head to the side watching her.

“Forgive me but when you say you were taken, what do you mean?” Sage’s eyes go to mine  and Kat pats her knee gently.

“When I was 13 my family visited Flower Meadow. When we went to leave my mother and I were taken and my father killed. I was stuck with the men  that  took  us until Andrei came across their camp” Sage answers.

“Your mother?’

“She was killed when she tried to stop them from using me ” She says without going into detail but she didn’t need to. We knew what that implied.

“Where did you find her?” Dominic asks me.

“The other side of the mountain, between these two camps, but closer to the dummy site ones” I answer.

“I was surprised she came back with you, no offense” Dominic says.

“ I didn’t at first, he hunted me down and followed me into the waterfall. He saved me, I was chained to a tree, he seemed like the safer option once I realised he wasn’t going to kill me” Sage answers.
