Stars Above Lonely Nights — Michael Brown novel Chapter 44

Jax POV:

Bursting through the packhouse doors I immediately head for the meeting room where I requested everyone meet.

“How is Andrew?” I ask Laurence seeing him arrive at the same time.

“Unconscious but stable, his Wolf is healing him and he didn’t loose too much blood, he has had to have a few stitches but thanks to Lunas quick work he will be fine” he says calmly his Beta side prominent now. “They will contact us as soon as he’s awake and I have 2 warriors stationed outside to help if required.”

“Thank you Laurence” I say as we walk in. Glancing at Nova I see her calm and collected, if it wasn’t for the bond telling me she was anxious and worried I wouldn’t have a clue.

“Ok everybody listen up, there has been an attack which we are almost positive was made by hunters. Andrew has been injured and is recovering in the pack hospital however our Gamma Florence we believe has been taken” I start as Theo let’s out a loud growl.

“I’m so sorry Theo” I hear Nova whisper as she wraps an arm around him offering comfort.

“It’s not your fault” he whispers his voice trembling with the worry he feels for his twin.

“Laurence I want you to go to my office and contact Axel, ask him to hack into any roadside cameras, CCTV etc in that area that he can and if he finds anything for him to contact us immediately” I order to my Beta as he leaves immediately to do as I’ve asked.

“I have 5 warriors trailing the tracks as far as they can, they are following emergency protocol so they have a phone for them to check in and contact us as they will be too far to mind-link. I have 10 extra wolves patrolling the borders focused on the eastern side as we speak however I want an additional 20 wolves to go join them. In case of an attack I want the rest of the warriors to be prepared, I know we haven’t had one in a long time however everyone knows what to do. Protect the vulnerable and the young, anyone who can fight fights. Theo I need you to focus, to find your sister I’m leaving you in charge of the warriors as you’re the best for the job” I inform.

“Yes Alpha” he replies his voice stronger than before.

“I want you to get two wolves, one being tracker Ellis to go back to the clearing they were taken, it’s 5 miles east you will find it if you follow the scent of blood. I want you to report anything you find as we didn’t have time to explore the area” I order Theo as he stands to leave.

“On it Alpha” he replies. As he walks past I quickly grasp his arm causing him to pause in a low tone I speak to him alone, “we will find her Theo. Put your skills to use and focus on what I’ve told you to do. I will do anything I can to find Florence” I assure him.

“Thank you Alpha” he says quietly as his eyes grow steely with determination.

“Ok Naomi, Alice I want you to go and speak to pack members. Inform them of what has happened as I will never lie to them but be sure to inform them we are acting quickly and if they have any questions then I will be holding a pack meeting as soon as possible. Reassure them that they are safe and we will protect them” I order them.

“Yes Alpha” they chorus as they stand to leave.

“Naomi before you go where is Luca?” Nova asks quickly.

“Theo asked him to escort Caroline and the warriors to the hospital, she is currently being transferred to the private room and Luca has 4 of our warriors there also which will stand guard at all times. He will meet you here as soon as it’s done” she informs us.

“He’s a good man” I tell Nova aware that her brother has taken on responsibility to aid our pack during an emergency.

“He’s an extremely worthy Beta” she says with pride in her voice, “he will do anything he can to help.”

“I need him to contact Axton and ask if they have had any suspicious activity around their pack recently. I also need to speak to the escort and check to see if they were followed or noticed anything suspicious on the drive here” I think out loud.

“I’ll link him” Nova says immediately reminding me she can link anyone she needs to.

“Perfect” I say. “Come let’s go meet Laurence and see if he has managed to contact Axel.” I stride out the door I run up the steps to my office 3 at a time.

“Hello Alpha” Laurence greets me as he stands behind my desk, “I have Axel on a video call here and he is currently accessing cameras nearby the track Gamma Florence was taken.”

“Hello Axel” I say as I step into the camera frame.
