The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 31

Thirty-One: Spring

Dustin

We got through the winter without any more encounters with whoever was causing problems. I know they are still out there, and we are sure now that they are trying to get Mykenzie and Kylani. They did try one more time about three weeks after the second try. They were not successful. This time the girls were able to catch three of the guys responsible. They are still in our dungeon. Two of the assholes still won’t talk, but one did. Although, he didn’t know much. He did confirm that quite a few of the Crimson Tide Pack members relocated to some land that was not claimed by any other pack. We did learn that the previous Alpha did have a mate and two sons. He kept them hidden so no one could use them against him or harm them. Apparently, according to the elders, we were not the first pack he tried to take over with false claims or blackmail. After he tried to blackmail our pack and kidnap mom (that was information I did not know), dad challenged him in a fight to the death. Needless to say, dad won the fight. Mykayla was now six and a half months along. The pack doctor says that it could be any day since it is now over the normal gestation for a werewolf. Rye thinks it will be within the week. I guess fae only carries for seven to eight months depending on if they have one or multiples. I thought she conceived during her heat, but apparently, she was already two months pregnant when she was in heat. It has been two months since Mykenzie and Kylani went through a heat. I know Kaleb has been hoping she is carrying his pup. All of us guys are in my office trying to figure out what we want to do with the three in the dungeons. The one guy has been very helpful, and Chris says he was threatened to either help or the others would kill him or mark him as a rogue. I have had many talks with this guy, who hates the Crimson Tide Pack. Apparently, when they found the land they have now, they took over a very small pack trying to build its numbers.

“Should we make him part of the pack?” I ask.

"I can tell you that he has no loyalty to them, and he is glad that he was caught,” Chris says.

“Being able to read minds comes in handy. Oh yeah, Kaleb, I keep meaning to ask what happened to your neck.” Chris says.

He has been gone a lot lately trying to figure something out, and apparently, there are some family issues going on as well. I guess he hadn’t noticed Kaleb’s mark till now.

“Kylani marked me during her heat,” Kaleb says proudly.

Chris and the rest of the guys stare at him like he just said the world imploded. They sit there for a while, stunned.

“She marked you and you’re still alive?” Rye says, shocked.

Kaleb sits there, not knowing what to say.

“Ok, I know there is a story or something behind this turn of events,” I tell them.
