CHAPTER 44
How in the hell did they find them so fast? I ask myself this as I move into motion and continue my orders, ‘Okay, stall them, but don’t engage. I will send more men your way and will be there as soon as I can.’
“Okay, we will try.
‘That’s all I ask.’
I look at the group. “Okay, listen up, Blue River wolves have been spotted coming our way, so we don’t have time to wait for my men to pick you up. I want you to throw your bags into my trunk and then the pups will get in with me, while the rest of you turn to your wolves and follow me. You should be safe enough once you’re over my border but i’m not wanting to take any chances.”
That bastard dares to send warriors to my pack when we are supposed to be allies? I’m in my right to offer protection to wolves who are seeking it. It’s Alpha Daniel who is in the wrong and you better believe that I will be calling a meeting about all these accusations. In the meantime, I need to swear this group in faster than I ever have, so I can return to talk with the wolves who are searching for them.
Grabbing my phone once again, I send Gavin another text, asking him to come over right away, instead of waiting until after lunch. He responds back that he is on his way. If everything goes the way I want it to, I should be done swearing in this group and be back here to greet him.
We hustle with loading the bags in my trunk. Good thing they packed lightly when they left, carrying only one backpack per person. Since the pups were all between the ages of three and eight, they are all small enough to squeeze into the backseat.
“I will take one female with me since the pups don’t know me and I don’t want to scare them.” It’s the youngest of the females that climbs into the passenger seat. We nod at each other and then I gun it once I know the kids are buckled in safely.
On my way back, I link my Beta, letting him know of the situation. He has clothing waiting for each of the wolves when we arrive, and we usher them all into the packhouse. Normally, I will do groups outside, but again, I’m not taking any chances. I don’t trust Alpha Daniel.
As soon as all twelve people are in my office, I start swearing them in. I’m even swearing the pups in because I’m not taking any chances. I have to cut open my hand multiple times due to our fast healing, but it’s all worth it in the end each time I feel a new bond snap into place.
I ask Cici to show the new members to some rooms for now, and we will figure out living arrangements later. After mind linking Cam to let him know that he is in charge until I get back, I take my Beta with me, and race back to the border. When we get there, I link the warrior who first warned me about the Blue River wolves, asking him for an update.
‘They’re not doing anything, Alpha. It’s like they are just here, guarding the area or waiting for something.’
“Okay. I will let you know what I decide to do, just stay where you are.’
‘Ten-four, Alpha.’
Gavin pulls up a few minutes later, and I turn to Spencer, “Go on and meet with the others to see what you can make of the group of wolves. I’m going to fill Gavin in and then we will meet you there.”
“Are you sure you are safe?” He looks to Gavin as he gets out of his vehicle and then back at me.
Smiling, I place my hand on his arm, “Yes, I’m perfectly safe, Spence. Thank you.”
“Okay, I’ll see you soon then.” He pulls the shorts off that we found behind a tree when we got here and tosses them back to the same spot.
I’m still in the over-sized t-shirt, “Hey Gavin, thank you for getting here so fast.” I pull him in for a hug.
“What’s going on? You sound a little off.” He furrows his brows as he holds me at the waist.
I bite my lower lip. Now that he’s in front of me, I’m not sure how to tell him everything that I’ve found out. Will he be hurt? Will he be upset at me because I swore in new members that used to belong to his pack? I’m now second-guessing everything.
“Hey, it’s okay,” he soothes as he cups one of my cheeks, “Whatever it is, you can tell me.”
