The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 88

Eighty-Seven: Convention

Dustin

All the alpha’s and their entourages had arrived. The banquet was in full swing. So far, no one had done anything to anger the girls. Which I have been grateful for. Even Alpha Darrius (he is such an asshole) seemed to behave around them. I was currently talking to Alpha Bryan and Alpha Stephan when Chris wandered over. I introduced everyone, and Chris joined in our conversation. I noticed the girls casually dispersing around the room. They seemed to be mingling well, but I noticed how they had positioned themselves seemed off. I wanted to ask Chris, but I was unable to with the other two alphas there. If it had been Aiden there, it wouldn’t have mattered. I continued my surveillance of the girls. I decided to get another drink and walked over to where the drinks were. As I was walking back, Brighton and Kaleb walked over to me. We stood there talking for a while; soon after, Chris and Aiden joined us.

“The girls seem to be behaving themselves. I noticed they have mingled fairly well with everyone.” Brighton commented.

I heard Chris snort before he took a drink. I know that sound. Those seven are up to something. Kaleb told us that they knew about Penthesilea and Phlegyas being dead and that the animals told them. I honestly figured that they knew most of this shit already. I had no idea that they ended up in our town because they had followed the trail of those three werebears here. Chris was even surprised at that.

“Oh, please, those girls are strategically placing themselves around this room. They are basically spying on the other alphas. Especially Alpha Darrius. They know who he is and what a dick he is capable of being.” Chris retorts.

I knew they were up to something. I wonder if they have found out anything. I’ll have to ask them later. The five of us watch her, and Brighton notices that Alpha Darrius is intently watching Mykenzie and Kylani. He tells what he has noticed through a mind link. I start to observe him as well. Brighton is right. His eyes follow them. I do not like this at all. Kylani walks over to us, and Kaleb wraps his arm around her. She gives him a kiss. I noticed Alpha Darrius turned to talk to someone. Well, that was strange. I will definitely be keeping an eye on him and the little group he brought with him. I decided to update all the guys on him and that we need to watch him. I can tell that Kaleb is irritated with the way Alpha Darrius’s eyes are locked on Kylani, but I tell him not to worry. None of us guys will let anything happen to any of our girls. Besides the fact, Kylani can more than take care of herself.

The meetings last for the next three days. We have kept a close eye on Alpha Darrius. He never did try anything, but I still have a strange feeling about him. It’s two days after the meetings, and everything seems to be back to normal. Well normal for around here. We did talk to Chris about the possibility of the werebears being hidden by someone. We did ask him about them being hidden in another realm. He didn’t think that was a possibility.

“Even if they crossed to a different realm with someone who can travel through them easily, it would have been felt or noticed,” Chris explains.

“So then someone here is hiding them?” Xion asks.

“Yeah, that is my guess. Whoever it is concealing themselves and the bears with the magic of some sort.” Chris says.

“Do you have any guesses as to who this could be?” I ask.

“Unfortunately, I don’t. I personally don’t know that many demons, and there are literally hundreds of fallen angels. If an angel is working with a demon then it is a fallen angel.” Chris tells us.
