Chapter 80: The phone call.

Beau.

The moment I walk through those gates, everything feels like a fucking nightmare. I wish this was a nightmare because this is something no one would ever want to experience. Lanis is here but at this moment, no one can make me feel better.

I count the total number of people that are lying dead cold on the ground. They are eight in number. Boris, Conan, Felan, Gorg, Kurt, Lowe, Olcan and Rudi. Olin was the only one still strong enough to speak and talk to me. He is the one that took Lanis to look for Jabi. I haven’t seen Rex. My heart is heavy with worry because if anything happened to him, I will never forgive myself. I am supposed to protect him, he doesn’t have an Alpha by his side. I am supposed to be the one by his side and now this happened and I wasn’t there.

’’How did this happen?’’ I ask Ogma, one of the healers in the pack.

She sighs as we carry one of the injured to a bed gently ’’They had no fear, almost like they just wanted all of us dead.’’

She trembles at her words as she continues ’’They were a lot of them and not too many of us prepared. The alphas did the best they could, we got some of their kind.’’

I saw their bodies. The bodies of those fucking vampires. ’’Where is Fallon?’’ I ask the question that has been on my mind all the while.

’’No one knows, he just up and disappeared. I knew giving him the power to be the new Alpha was a mistake.’’

I don’t say anything because I don’t have the energy. This is all too much for me. all I need to do now is figure out how to kill Cassius. There is no time for dwelling on that motherfucker. He is the least of my priorities. Darrien walks in through the front doors of the infirmaries just as I am about to go out to check on him. he has Brent in his arms. Brent was the one that was seriously injured. I didn’t think he would survive that cut. It was that gruesome and now, Darrien has him in his arms like nothing was wrong.

’’Where do I put him?’’ he asks me.

All the beds are full, there is no space for him but he needs a fucking bed. All these things that keep happening just prove that I am not ready to be the Alpha. I have no inclination of what I am doing. Here I am, after being attacked and losing so many of my brothers. I still have no idea what to do, how to stop all this from happening. I didn’t want to involve the elders, thinking I could handle it all by my own but now I need to.

’’Get a fucking bed from wherever you can,’’ I shout to one of the younger healers, Collin. Collin is a beta. He does most of the errands in the infirmaries. I know this is me being harsh but I am pissed off right now and this is the only way I can vent it all out.

Darrien places Brent on a big couch in one of the rooms and walks back to me ’’I need to go and look for Alanis. He is not back and I need to make sure Jabi is okay.’’

’’I can take you there. You wouldn’t know where it is.’’ I suggest because he has done so much for me.

I glance at his hands and they are shaking. He looks like someone different. Darrien never had fear in his eyes, he was always so sarcastic and nonchalant. Now the worry is evident on his face, his eyes are red and blotchy, he has been crying.

’’Thanks.’’

We walk together to the caves ’’You know Jabi is one of the strongest people I know. Nothing is going to happen to him.’’

He sighs ’’He has no one. No one to fight for him, no one to care if he is missing. Why would this happen to him? it is not fair.’’

I nod ’’He has you now though.’’

’’I can’t stand the thought of losing him,’’ he cries suddenly. His voice etched with so much pain, I reach for him and place my arm on his shoulder comfortingly.

’’We will find him.’’

We get to the caves and I see Alanis as he shuffles all the kids out of the caves. They all look scared, the fear evident in their eyes but they listen to him. they are not scared of him, they are just scared of everything that is happening. Alanis looks up as Darrien runs over to him, his eyes roaming in search of the only person that is important to him. he looks around, desperate to find him but I can already tell he is not here. I can’t find his scent anywhere. Rex’s scent is strong but Jabi’s isn’t here. I walk closer until I see Rex in a corner, he is standing next to another Alpha. He jumps up when he sees me, all I notice are the bruises on his face. His clothes have blood all over him. not his blood, Thank God. He runs into my arms immediately and I realise that he hasn’t seen me since Cassius took m.

’’You’re alive,’’ he cries in my arms.

Rex needs me to survive. Leaving him for those two weeks plus was hard because I worried about him all the while.

’’He is not fucking here,’’ Darrien shouts scaring the children more.

I let go of Rex and walk over to him in an attempt to calm him down. I know how he feels. I know what this means to him and his reaction is warranted. It is understandable.

Jabi is his mate.

He knows it and I know it. We all fucking know it and now he doesn’t know where he is.

That is the most painful to experience.

I know how he feels.

’’Calm down Darrien. You are scaring the kids.’’ Alanis tries to stop him from an outburst. That is a mistake because when you tell someone to calm down, they only get angrier.

He pushes Alanis which catches him by surprise. On reflex I am in front of my mate, ready to kill. My eyes glare at Darrien. If he is going to be a threat, he needs to leave ’’Do we have a problem here?’’

He stands in front of me, fuming. His eyes never waver from me. he is no longer crying. Now he is just pissed off. ’’I need to go and find him.’’ slowly he takes backward steps away from me and before I know it, he is running to the direction of the woods. No one can stop him, there is no point. He will just end up doing what he wants and right now I need to focus on the pack and how to protect everybody.

’’What happened here?’’ I ask Rex.

’’We got here when it all happened. We didn’t witness all the killings. There was one vampire left when we got here. He is the one that took Jabi.’’

’’Why did he take him and leave you?’’ Alanis asks.

Rex shrugs ’’I don’t know. I have no idea why they do the things they did. It was so scary because all Jabi kept saying was how much he wanted to live. He kept crying and there was nothing I could do. there was no way I could fight to protect him.’’ he starts to cry and I pull him into my arms again.

Rex is weak.

That’s the way it has always been. Omegas can’t fight, they can’t defend themselves. They are told that they are weak and most always stay by an Alpha. there is nothing I can do or say to comfort him. if anything happens to Jabi, I know Rex will feel the guilt of it for the rest of his life.

There is only one thing I need to do now.

I need to call him.

The man that will help our pack.

The only person that can make me strong enough to face Cassius and fucking kill him. slowly letting go of Rex, I walk over to Alanis ’’I need your phone,’’ I ask him since I have no idea where mine is. I think I left it in my room that night but I am not even sure. He reaches for his pocket and brings out the black iPhone.

I take the phone from him and walk away from him ’’Help me get everyone into their house safely. I just need to make a quick phone call.’’ I explain to him, this gets a nod from him and makes me all the more grateful to have him here.

I dial his number as I have it at heart and it rings. I hear the click and then his voice on the other end of the line.

’’I need your help.’’
