Chapter 6 Inside job

bby

After my father took me to his office. I went over to sit on the couch he has in the small living room he created off to the right.

I felt extremely cold, and a wave of nausea engulfed me.

I ran to the nearest bathroom, the voice of my worried mother being drowned out every second.

I washed my face and arms with warm water, hoping to warm up and wash off Kat's blood simultaneously.

Kat's blood.

She was bleeding because of me.

I can't shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen. I want to cry and scream, but nothing seems to come out of my mouth.

My lips feel dry, and my throat turned extremely scratchy.

I wanted nothing more than to stay in this bathroom forever, hiding away the fact that I am responsible for my best friend slipping into a coma.

Come on Abby, pull yourself together! Storm screamed in my head.

What if I can't? I'm the reason my best friend is in that hospital bed right now!

You don't think I know what is going on inside of this head of yours right now? I know better than anyone else Abigail, or did you forget that I live here permanently. I am the second part of you and no one else sees what I see.

Ofcourse I know that. I'm just tired of everything. I can't help but feel responsible for all that has happened.

You mean the rogue attack that killed Emily's parents? Yes I know about that too, even though you were only a child.

When I came too you on your 18th birthday, I saw everything in your mind; your guilt, your sadness, your happiness.

I am your better half dammit!! She laughed.

Get yourself together Luna. Your best friend doesn't need you falling apart right now when she needs your strength more than ever.

I smiled at her words. It was great to know my wolf believed in me, even when there are times I don't believe in myself.

You are the greatest wolf a person could ask for, Storm. Thank you.

Don't thank me yet. Thank me when I break Alaric's neck for him into a million pieces.

I chuckle, knowing my wolf is as psychotic as me; doesn't surprise me much though. The Moon Goddess gave me a strong wolf for a reason. Wiping away the tears that has formed on my cheeks, I prepare myself to go outside. I need a strong drink, and luckily Storm agrees with me.

After I was done, I went back to the couch.

My mother come in, holding my thick dark blue moon blanket, putting it over me softly.

She sat next to me on the couch, rubbing my arms and trying to warm me up

"Do you need anything, Abz? Food, something to drink?", my father asked.

"Why is this blanket over me?"

"Because you are in shock."

"That doesn't mean I need a blanket. It means I need booze."

I walked over to the liquor cabinet, grabbing the first bottle of were-vodka I see, and pouring it into a shot glass, shooting the warm liquid down my throat. That certainly helps this irritating scratch.

"Do any of you want any shots? I sure as hell need them after everything that just happened", I ask as I pour my second glass, drinking that straight after my question.

"Dad, I want all the ranked members in here now. I want to call a meeting and discuss what happened," I tell him, already going to my fourth, "But I want Arkyn and and Dante in here too."

"Dante? Who is he?" he asks, hearing the curiosity and urgency in his voice.

"Woah, slow down Alpha. Dante is a friend of Arkyn. He helped with... let's call it a slight "problem" with our pack borders" I tell him, making quotation marks with my fingers.

I heard an urgent knock on the door.

Before my father could answer, I told whoever it was to come in.

"Excuse me Luna, but it's Dante" Luca told me.

"Let him in, Luca, it's fine", I motioned with my hand to let him in.

"I am sorry we haven't met before Luna. I'm Dante McCall, a friend of Arkyn's," He stood to shake my hand, and well fucking save me but what is up with these guys. First Arkyn and now him. He looks like a complete movie villian, his face is slim and narrow, easily transforming him into a believable psychopath. Those high cheeks and pursed lips paired with his piercing blue eyes and vaguely androgynous look?

Heaven for a woman's eyes.

His brown hair high fade hairsyle with a longer disconnected top makes him look sexy.

Dante and Arkyn look like brothers but they are the complete opposites, making it work.

"Sorry to bother you Luna, but Arkyn just called me. I was wondering if I could borrow a pack car to go pick him up? He is about forty minutes away."

My eyes pop out of my head. He's alive?

"Yes, here" I rush to my desk.

"Is he okay?" I ask while looking through the desk for my car keys.

"He is fine by the sound of it".

"Catch". I throw the car keys at him.

"Dante, as soon as you guys are back, come directly to this office. I called an all ranked members meeting but I want both of you present to talk about both attacks that happened today."

He nods at me and turns to leave, heading out the door.

"One more thing Dante," I look at him.

"Yes Luna?", he looks at me, swinging the keys between his fingers

"As soon as you find Arkyn, let him drive back with my car. If there is so much as one teeny tiny scratch on that thing, I will execute you myself and your body will never, and I mean ever, be found. Comprendre?" I ask him with a smirk on my face.

Hearing an audible gulp I heard a "Yes Luna. I understand". He immediately stopped swinging the keys. With that he turns out the door and walks away, closing the door behind him. Just then, Kat's parents enter the room with Emily.

"How is everyone holding up? Aunty Maddy?"

I walk over to where they are sitting on the couch, and crouch down to look up at her.

"How are you feeling?" I ask, holding her hands in my own.

"We are all in a bit of shock. I told Liam what happened. I can't lose her Abigail. She means the world to us",

Aunt Maddy tells me with tears in her eyes.

"I know, and I'm sorry Aunt Maddy. I can't help but feel this is all my fault." I tell her, letting her lean into me for a hug, feeling her tears against me.

"Where is Tyler, Uncle Liam? Does he know about Kat?" I ask, looking up at him.

"No, he doesn't. We sent him off to go swimming at a friend's house since it's a Saturday. We don't want to tell him what happened until we know for a certainty what is going on."

"That's good. Just as well. He is a little bit too young to know what is going on with all the dangers we face at this moment."

Just then doctor Matthews mind linked me.

Luna? His voice come through my head.

Yes Doctor?

Kat is stable for now. May I come to the Alpha's office to speak about her condition?

Yes You may.

Thank you. I will be there in a few minutes.

"What do you mean both attacks? Did something happen here?" My father asks, turning a shade paler.

"I will talk in a moment, we are just waiting on doctor Matthews."

My father nodded. I poured myself a glass of red wine and went to sit on the chair by the desk while my father went to sit with my mom.

A few minutes later, the doctor came in and took a seat in front of the desk.

"Yes," I answer briefly, "There were two attacks today. One on us at the shopping centre and one here at the pack but I will ask that we keep this private for now. Only me, Dante and the warriors know what happened. The pack members doesn't know. It will only cause an immediate panic and the people that attacked has already been dealt with. So no need for everyone to know until we personally know with what we are dealing with here, we all agree?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Now before we continue, we are waiting on Arkyn and Dante. I will also be asking Luca to join since he is busy investigating what is wrong."

Mrs Samuels?

Yes deary?

Can you please bring ten coffees in your to go cups up to the Alpha's office pleace? With a lot of sugar packets and creamer?

Give me 5 minutes darling. I'll send up one of the girls with everything.

Thank you... and oh, Mrs Samuels?

Yes?

You can take the rest of the day off for today. I had a bit of an eventful day. I will be ordering in for the packhouse tonight. Go home and spend the rest of the day with your kids.

Thank you my dear. Loves you lots.

We love you too Mrs Samuels, I tell her, closing the link.

"I gave mrs Samuels the rest of the day off. I will be ordering take out tonight. Here," I handed out a piece of paper to everyone, "Right down your names and what you want. Order whatever you want. I'm paying."

A few minutes later, Mia arrived with the coffee. I handed them out and everyone made their own coffee using the sugar and creamer provided.

I looked around everyone just looked tired. I went to take another sip of my wine just to realize it's finished.

Standing up, I took my glass over to the cabinet. Bending over, I reach for the bottle of red wine.

Something made my nose tingle. It smelled like warm hot chocolate with roasted marshmellows on a cold snowy winter's day. I give a small smile, taking in the amazing smell. I'm not hearing the word mate from Storm, which is strange.

I hear the office door close shut.

Standing up and turning around, I realize Arkyn is in front of me.

Immediately I ran and jumped into his arms, with him lifting me up my by legs, crushing his body into my hug.

My arms instinctively wraps around his neck.

"Oh Goddess, I'm so glad your safe" I say into his neck.

"Hi", the only word that comes out of his mouth while he is holding on to me tightly.

Realizing what I just did, I glide down from his arms onto the ground. This idiot just stands there with that stupid smile on his face.

Motioning for him and Dante to sit down, I mind link Luca to come to my office.

I hand them the coffee and go sit at my desk.

Luca knocks on the door a few seconds later and gets his coffee as well.

"I called a meeting today because as we all know there has been two attacks on Frost Pack today, First we were attacked at Dundrum Town Centre and the second attack was at the pack border" I start saying, seeing that everyone is looking at me. Some know, some were surprised about the attack at the border, "furthermore, as we all know, my Beta, Kat was attacked with a dagger laced with wolfsbane."

"What??!! Wolfsbane?!" Uncle Liam shouted at me. His wolf was about to surface and I can't have 2 full grown wolves fighting in my office.

Luckily my dad noticed the signs and calmed him down.

"Uncle Liam, I know we are all agitated because this is a sensitive matter, especially since it's Kat but we will be handling this correctly. I don't need anyone losing their cool right now because its an all hands on deck situation."

Finally calming down, he motioned for me to go further.

"Lets start with Dr Matthew. Doctor, how is she?"

"She is stable for now." Everyone let out the breath they didn't know they were holding in.

"However, the wolfsbane did go into her bloodstream which put her into a coma. She will be in the coma for about 4 days while her body is fighting it off. Remember, the wolfsbane will only slow down her healing process because it was only on the arm.

I will be keeping an eye on her closely Luna", He ended.

"Thank you doctor. We appreciate it. As soon as this meeting is over, you can take uncle Liam and Aunt Maddy to see their daughter."

"Ofcourse Luna."

"Next on this list is Luca." Everyone looks at him, but he looks calm and collected as he stands in front of the present and future ranked members.

"Tell me everything you know Luca." He steps infront of me and handed me a black envelope. Pulling the papers out onto my desk, I look at the photos taken and the evidence report.

"Luna, earlier today we heard snarling and growling on the south side of the border. I went to investigate with a few of the guards and found Mr Dante shifting back into his human form surrounded by dead vampires. We first thought he was a rogue but then Alpha Aiden let me know that a wolf by the name of Dante traveled with Arkyn to the pack. We brought him here to the packhouse and went back to where the bodies were. By the smell, we figured out they were vampires.

Unfortunately, no identification could be made since they had no finger prints and facial recognition was not possible either."

Dante giggled and I saw Arkyn elbow him in the ribs, making him cough. Giving them both my death glare, they stopped.

"Sorry for the rude interruption Luca, please continue" I said, tapping my pen on the desk.

"Well, after further investigation after we burned all the bodies, we found that the gate was cut open. That's how they gained entry."

"Rogues, I presume?" I ask looking at him.

He seemed hesitant at the next thing he needs to tell me.

"That's just the thing, Luna. It was cut open from the inside, meaning it was an inside job."
