Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 80

The man pulled out a phone. “We have an issue in the cells…. An intruder….. The witches sister attempting a poorly planned jailbreak .” He told whoever was on the other end. I considered trying to fight them, but somehow, I didn’t think that would end well for me. Before long, someone else turned up with another set of engraved cuffs. As they put them on me, it felt as though the air had been sucked from my body. I realised that it was actually just my magic being blocked. I had come here to rescue my sister, and now I was being imprisoned, too. This was not supposed to happen.

I arrived back in Lakeside with instructions to keep my cover in place for now. I headed straight up to the Alpha house to let Alpha Stone know that I was back. I was surprised to replace that neither he nor his dad were there. Dean was in Jason’s office on the phone. I waited patiently for him to finish his call. I noticed the worried look on his face. “Everything OK?” I asked. He shook his head “I’m glad that you’re back. Dad’s in the hospital. Apparently, he was attacked by Peter Morris . There has to be something more going on there, though, as that doesn’t seem like Peter. There is a council member in the pack. They had a report that Jason had been involved in the kidnapping of two men. I’m honestly not sure if he was. Beta Edwards from Moon River is still here for some f*****g reason and on top of all of that, I can’t get hold of Jason.” He put his head in his hands, the frustration getting too much for him. Dean was a good guy, he couldn’t help who he was related to.

I told him that we would get things straightened out. He looked up at me from his seat “Thanks. I don’t see how we can though.” He said sighing. Dean hated having to take charge. He didn’t even want to be the pack beta. All Dean had wanted was a quite life with his mate, and to be a father. Jason was so useless though that Dean hadn’t had time to start a family yet. He was always running around sorting out his brothers messes. I knew that it was putting a strain on his relationship. He had considered stepping down, but Jason and David had made it clear that they wouldn’t allow it.

I was about to say something else, to try and reassure him, when there was a huge commotion coming from the front hall. We rushed to replace out what the hell was going on. We saw Jason being led to the dungeon. Peter Morris was holding his arms behind his back and pushing him forward to keep him moving. There was a man I didn’t recognise walking beside them. Jason was shouting obscenities and struggling, but Peter was holding him firmly. I looked up and saw another man watching everything from the first floor bannister. He was clearly enjoying it.

Dean called our “What exactly is the meaning of this? Why do you have my brother?” He demanded. The man held up a hand to silence him. “Please head up to the office and wait for me there. I will join you and fill you in shortly.” He stated calmly. Dean looked angry at being hushed and ordered around, but turned and headed back to the office as asked. I watched as they took Jason into the dungeon and then joined Dean. “Who was that?” I asked. “The council member that I told you about.” He said slumping down in the Alpha’s chair. “s**t!!!!!!” he yelled. I didn’t say anything. “f*****g Jason!!! What the f**k has that i***t done now?” He let out his annoyance. I knew that it was partly because he was worried that with Jason in the dungeon, he would have to step into the Alpha role. Something he really didn’t want to do.

AMBER.

I had listened to everything that had happened in Adam’s living room from where I stood in the kitchen. I had hidden in the pantry when they had gone through to the porch to show the council member the bodies. I wasn’t really sure why I was hiding, I just felt like I needed to. I heard Jason’s cry of pain as Peter rejected him as his Alpha. I had to admit that part of me was glad it hurt. The council member had told Jason that he was being put under arrest. He would be held on his own dungeons until he could be moved for trial and sentencing. It felt sort of poetic knowing that he would soon be held in the same cold, damp cells that he had happily locked Adam and Chris up in.

Once Peter had taken hold of a still weakened Jason and left with the council member, I came out and joined Ellie and Becky in the living room. Becky was sitting on the sofa with a strange look on her face. I asked if she was OK. This would be a lot for anyone to deal with. She suddenly broke into a huge grin. “My dad is a beta!,” she laughed. I smiled at her. Trust Becky to replace a positive in this mess.
