The Legacy of the Alpha King: Hiding his Secret Twins
Chapter 29 by Ebony Woods

Evelyn POV

I followed the satnav in my pack car which took me around an hour’s drive away to some kind of human industrial estate. We had similar buildings near the Silver Moon pack grounds.

That’s how I managed to get the medical equipment first, the company’s warehouse facility was close by. I applied some friendly pressure to the business owner and soon enough had the best equipment going. He even takes me out for dinner every business quarter as one of his best buyers.

Parking up, I walk around the warehouse building. Nobody was waiting for me outside, so I looked for a way in. Dawn was fast approaching and having driven for an hour already, I didn’t have any more time to waste. I needed Rex back now safely in my arms.

I wasn’t sure how soon after leaving Cassandra would have woken Noah, who would have seen the address on the email, and could also be on his way. But they wanted me to come alone. If he turns up with Donnie, I’ve got no chance of replaceing out where Rex may be.

A slight issue which hopefully I could get away with… this was wolf territory. I could feel the pull for me to leave as soon as I exited the car. I wasn’t meant to be here, I didn’t have the alpha’s permission to be here. Did this pack have my child?

I found an unlocked door, which needed replacing as it was loose and not very secure. Surely a holding facility needed better security?

As I entered the warehouse the hairs on the back of my neck prick up.

This was an abandoned warehouse…this wasn’t good. Now I realise my choice of coming here alone perhaps wasn’t a good one.

Scattered around the place was empty boxes and broken glass on the floor. I look up to see the windows had been smashed in. Most likely from teenagers throwing rocks but it still added an uneasy vibe to the place. Lightbulbs hadn’t been replaced and even part of the roof looked damaged, perhaps from a storm.

I didn’t want to be here but I needed to remember that my little boy was trying to be brave for mummy and I had to be brave for him. It won’t be much longer sweetie, until mummy never lets. you go again. Just keep staying positive.

I walk around more, trying to replace any clues that someone was here…any information on whose pack lands I was trespassing on. I start to walk up some steps that were just as derelict, the entire

space needed repairing.

A lot of these places have offices upstairs away from the packing floor, perhaps some information

was in there.

Once I reach the top, even for me…a werewolf, it was dark and creepy. I pull my phone out of my jean pocket and switch the torch mode on.

It offers a good extra glow of light, complimenting my wolf’s night vision ability. By the looks of things, this place hadn’t been used in years. Cobwebs and layers of dust decorated the walls and ceiling, which gave off a damp smell.

I look through the offices, empty! Nobody was here. I head back down the steps into the old pack area. Wanting to preserve my phone’s battery, I turn the torch off and place it back into my jean pocket.

The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up again and my senses shout at me to turn around.

As I do, I scream to replace a pair of eyes in the darkness. Eyes that were determined to try and scare me off, but I wouldn’t leave…not yet!

“Where is my son?” I order, trying to keep my hands hidden. They were involuntarily shaking.

“Did you come alone?” A hoarse male’s voice grunts back at me.

“That’s what the email requested, so that’s what I did!“.

“Just yes would have done!” He growls at me, before taking heavy threatening steps towards me.

“Get out!” My wolf shouts in my mind and I want to agree with her but not until I know what he wanted.

“Why am I here? Where is my son?” I firmly ask.

He doesn’t answer. His lips form an evil looking smirk as he stops right in front of me.

Just when I think he is about to speak again, his hands are thrusted around my neck, around my throat.

I claw at his hands, trying to remove them from my throat. His tightening hold now cutting off my air supply.

He lifts me up, my feet hanging…no longer touching the floor. My clawing at him becomes more

desperate…I could smell his blood from my nails digging into the back of his hands.

With an almighty smack, he drops me to the ground. I can feel my ribs breaking under the impact and my skull screaming at me to pass out…to give into the black dots that now dance in my vision.

“We can’t make it any clearer….” He growls into my ear before one hand breaks off and he tries to touch my breasts. I grab his hand with the two of mine, blocking him from touching me. Holding

it with all my might.

“…cut the alliance or the boy dies!”

Fear rushes through me. I was in a vulnerable position and close to passing out. I could smell the blood from my head wound as it freely trickled in my hair and on the floor I laid on.

His mouth which was still by my ear, whispers again but not before sucking on my earlobe, causing me to break out in a scream and kick my legs to try and get him off me.

“You won’t get another chance.”

I hear an almighty roar in the distance, as the black spots start to take over my vision more. Shit he wasn’t alone judging by the fast footsteps running in our direction. I couldn’t keep conscious for much longer. The head injury and lack of air supply taking their hold.

“You didn’t come alone.” He snarls into my ear before releasing his hands from around my throat and escaping into the darkness. I take a large suction of air into my oxygen deprived lungs.

“Evelyn?” A voice calls me, as gentler hands touch my throat and forehead.

“Fuck.” The voice says, I think I know that voice.

“Reuben?” I murmur out trying to gasp for breath. He sits me up slowly into his lap, before flipping back into twat mode.

“What were you thinking, coming alone? It’s dangerous.” He growls at me, as he looks into the darkness where my attacker escaped into.

“They said to come alone. I thought….I thought he might be here. I just want my boy back!” Tears start to sting at my eyes. I just wanted Rex back, wanted to hold him.

I feel his hands touch my neck as his chest rattles with a lowly growl.

“Who was it?”

“I don’t know it was an email. I couldn’t not come.” I was turning floppy now, I could feel my eyes going.

“You might be able to still catch him…” I say following his gaze into the dark corner of the warehouse building.

“We could question him…”

“Right now admit it or not but you need me.” He was definitely back in twat mode, he even had the nerve to chuckle slightly.

“I just want Rex back.” I whisper, I was losing my body’s call for rest.

“We’ll get him back, I promise!” Reuben promises before darkness takes me.
