CHAPTER 131

Declan

I told Quinn that I needed to grab a few folders for pack business, which is true, but I also wanted to look into getting answers about the Shikari. It's hard to ask questions without being asked why I'm looking fo answers, especially if it has to do with the Dire wolf. So, when I call one of the Elders, I simply tell him about the Alpha that we have and that he is the one that was speaking of this Shikari group.

Surprisingly, the Elder has heard of the group of hunters. To his knowledge, there are none in the states, but there are groups scattered across Europe. They hunt werewolves, because they believe that we are a freak of nature and should not be able to live or procreate. They have powers of their own, limited, but powers all the same. As for the Dire wolf, they must know of the legend too. According to the Elder, this group lives and breathes hunting our kind, and so, if there is a legend, then they know all about it.

What makes me angry is what I hear next. The Elder says that more than likely, the Shikari are already aware of a lot of the pack in this region, mainly the ones that have been attacking the innocent ones in search of the Dire wolf.

So, in other words, packs like the Gray Skies pack, have been leading these hunters right to us. I thank the Elder for the information and then slam my hand down on my desk as soon as I hang up. A thought comes to me that has me linking my Beta to come to my office right away.

"You wanted to see me?" Carter comes strolling in.

"Yes, I need you and Keenan to come up with a schedule for extra warriors over at Quinn's pack, actually I want warriors doing patrol around both pack borders, everyone will be on overtime for a while. I will talk to Quinn and have Beta Spencer and Gamma Cam contact you about combining all warriors. I want everyone on twelve-hour shifts, leaving very little time between border checks." "What's going on? You sound like you are expecting a big attack." Carter has a worried expression on his face.

Running my hand over my face, I sigh, "We could very well be looking at one." I go on to tell him what the Elder had informed me of, "There is no telling what is going to happen when Quinn comes into her powers. We don't even know when."

"I thought Luna Stacia left her all the information." My Betal reminds me of the documents that were left for Quinn by her mother.

"You're right! I bet Quinn didn't bother reading any more after becoming shocked to replace out that she was the Dire wolf." I gather the folders that I really did come for and then glance back at Carter, "I still want you to do as I asked and also, I want more security cameras set up around the borders. I don't care how much it costs; I want them all around both borders."

"I'll have all the cameras done by the end of the day and I will be in contact with you as soon as we have a game plan ready for patrol."

"Thanks Carter. Stay on standby because I will be doing a video call as soon as I fill Quinn in on everything and go through those documents. I will have Alpha Deke on as well since he already knows who she is."

"Will do, Dec. Now go, she needs you more than we do right now." I now, and then hurry from the room and out of the pack house.

Quinn is still in her office when I get back, "All work and no play makes for a very boring day." I say from the doorway.

She smiles up at me and stands, "Well, that didn't take you too long."

I meet her in the middle and pull her into my arms, "It seems as though I've been gone all day." I take her lips with mine and kiss her deeply. As soon as I hear that little moan that she makes, the one that turns my cock hard as a rock like it's doing right now, I pull away. As much as I would love to lock the office door and ravage her for the rest of the afternoon, we have important business to take care of.

She pouts when I pull away, and I have to chuckle as she sticks her bottom lip out. I kiss the tip of her nose, "Be good, I need my wits about me in order to discuss important matters with you." That seems to do it as her back straightens, and her expression becomes serious.

"What's wrong?" Her brow furrows.

"I've talked to the Elders and learned a little more about the Shikari. Not too much more but enough for now. Apparently, they aren't from the states, but from Europe."

"So, why should we be worried about them if they are in Europe?" Quinn asks.

"Well, the Elders seem to think that they may know of some of the packs, more the rebel packs than anything, because they have been stirring up trouble looking for the Dire wolf. They think they want the Dire wolf first and foremost and are watching these rebel

Dividing into pages now packs to see if they can lead them to it."

She gasps, "So, Benjamin has been so worried that I would lead them here, when in fact, him and the others are the ones doing it!"

"Exactly!" I agree.

Anger takes over her beautiful face and she goes to pass by me, but I reach out, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to shred that Alpha mutt to pieces!" It's Tala who growls.

"Calm down, pretty girl," I pull her to me. Tala is a sucker whenever I call her an endearment, "we have other matters to deal with first. After that, you are more than welcome to rip his insides out." Just as I thought, Tala calms down and gives Quinn back control.

"I don't know how you do that..." Quinn chuckles.

"It's easy, she loves us." I smirk and the pretty Luna sticks her tongue out at me.

"Okay, so what are these matters that you keep talking about?"

"Where are the documents that your mother left you?"

"I put them back into her secret safe, why?"

"Did you actually read through it all?"

"Well, no. I was still too surprised to replace out that I was the Dire wolf, and I haven't even thought about reading more since then, why?"

"Quinn, we have been in the dark as to what we should expect once your birthday comes. We don't know when your powers will come in or anything. I think some of the answers are in those documents. You need to go get them."

She clicks her tongue at me, "So damn bossy!"

I chuckle, "I'm sorry. You're right, of course. Quinn, can you please go and retrieve the documents, so we can take a look at them? Pretty please." I even bat my lashes at her as I grin. "Oh, my Goddess, I will go grab them as long as you promise to never bat your lashes again!" She laughs and leaves to go get them.

After reading through all the documents, we learn that she will come into her powers at the same exact time that she was born, which is twenty-three minutes after nine in the morning. At least it isn't in the wee hours of the morning. As we read on, it stated that she will feel a pressure in the center of her body and it will grow almost like a ball of fire, but it will not cause her real pain. It will use up all of her energy as she shifts into her Dire wolf. Her wolf will be huge but look the same as it does now in coloring. Her speed and strength will be ten-fold and as for her powers, that will be something that she has to figure out, but her mother, Stacia, was good enough to write down everything to try in order to replace out which power she will be granted with. Stacia was granted the power to heal wounds that aren't lethal.

"I had no idea that my mother had that power!" Quinn had stated when we read that part.

"That's because it says that she rarely used it, because she didn't want others to catch on to her. It will be difficult for you to hide yourself because once you mate your fated, every wolf will know who you are." I'm feeling a little better now that we know what to expect and

when to expect it. Luna Stacia did amazing with leaving all this information for her daughter, knowing that she would have nobody to help her when the time came. I hug Quinn to me for a few minutes, just needing to feel her in my arms for a bit, because in less than two days, I have a feeling that all hell is going to break lose, and these moments may be few and far between. I hope I'm wrong, though. "So, do you really think these Shikari people will travel all this way just for little ole me?" Quinn pulls away just enough to look up at me.

"Quinn, I'm pretty sure that three of them are already here."
