Chapter 0331

“What about your elders? Don’t they have direct access to the Alpha King, they should have calledfor help.”

Tyler huffs a laugh. “Those idiots were more concerned with their titles and being in the Alpha King’spresence than actually doing their job. They spent almost no time in our pack or with packmembers. Our Alpha was kind of a joke. He wasn’t a bad guy, but he was mated to the formerAlpha’s only daughter and took the title. He wasn’t made to be an Alpha. I’m sure the Elders chosehim for her. I think they actually ran the pack through the Alpha and Luna. The leaders were veryconcerned with making the pack bigger and more prominent. I was little when the Luna’s fatherdied, so I don’t know if he was the same way or if it got bad after my alpha was chosen as theLuna’s mate.”

He stops to take a breath. If he is acting, he is really good at this. I really feel bad for him and hispack.

“From what I heard, the Elders fled the minute the attack happened, leaving the Alpha and Luna todefend themselves, which of course they couldn’t, and are holed up with the Alpha King now. For allwe know they are the reason our pack was attacked or they planned the attack themselves to tryand get the Alpha King’s attention. Who knows. Either way a lot of innocent people died or werecaptured or worse and no one did a thing about it.” That scary angry look is back. He is out forvengeance, I just wonder if he is aware or not.

“What was the name of your pack?” I’m kind of afraid of what his answer is going to be.

“Former name, Midnight sun. Currently, they are part of the Shadow Pack.” My heart stops.

A loud growl and string of curses go off in my head from Osiston and Nickolas who have beenlistening in. It takes everything in me to stay present with Tyler while they are shouting instructions

to the whole team and the warriors back home. The noise is giving me a headache, but I can’t shutthem out. They need this information first hand, right now.

“I’m so sorry that happened to your pack. Is the whole group we ran with last night from your oldpack?”

“Nah, Mike, Robbie and I left as soon as we could. The new Alpha is ruthless and cruel. He stoppedall contact with the outside and his warriors use corporal punishment if you don’t fall in line. All themen were forced into an army. Any women that were left were taken somewhere else. I never sawany of them again. We had to get out, but no pack wanted a bunch of deserters, we tried, so we arehere on our own.” He shrugs.

“Well, I am skipping classes today, and you look like you could use a workout of your own. Howabout we hit the gym again and this time you will actually get to use equipment.” I stood up and heldout my hand to him. He just stared at me like I was crazy. “What?!”

“I just told you that my pack was attacked, my sister was killed, and my two friends and I escapedleaving everyone else behind essentially deserting them and you want to take me to go workout?”

I smile at him. “Yep, that was a load of heavy and when things get too heavy I workout and I amtaking you with me. Now let’s go pay for our food, I am going to need an extra minute to changeback into my workout stuff. It’s going to be like putting on a wetsuit.” I wink at him and he justchuckles as he gets up to follow me to the register by the door.

We walk back to the gym and I can feel how close Osiston is. I don’t think Tyler is a problem, but Ido feel better knowing someone is close. I don’t trust Tyler, but at the same time if even half hisstory is true, I want to help bring whoever is the problem to justice. Tyler is right, innocent peopleare getting hurt and dying for someone’s sick desire to have power.

We workout for a couple more hours and stop by the diner again to grab food to go this time. Wesettled in the middle of campus on one of the sprawling lawns that has benches dotted along theperimeter. The day is actually nice and calm. Not warm, but comfortable enough, the snow ismelting and the sun is shining making everything a little brighter.
