The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 83

Eighty-Two: Back to the Drawing Board

Dustin

All of us guys are sitting in the living room over at Jason and Marus’s house. We have made this our new meeting area since it is more private than the rec room. We still use the rec room for certain talks but not this one. No one had said anything for the past half an hour. Not since the animals came back in a rush and basically dragged Chris and Rye off with them. All five of them came back with Chris and Rye. Dimitri was also with them. They all had a sullen and pissed-off look to them. Not only was it us in the room, but Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were also there. I knew it was bad when they appeared. They usually didn’t get involved unless asked. So we all knew something was up.

“What happened?” Kaleb asked.

Finally, someone broke the silence. We all looked at Chris, Rye, and Dimitri. I could tell that they were still absorbing the information themselves.

“They found Penthesilea and Phlegyas.” Chris says.

“Good, now what is the plan?” I ask.

“They are dead.” Rye states.

What, how in the hell does this happen? Aren’t they immortal? Well, that was not what I was expecting them to tell us.

“They had their throats ripped out and looked like they had been attacked by something..” Chris explains.

“We think the werebears attacked them, but we don’t know why,” Dimitri replies.

We all sit there in shock. Now that Penthesilea and Phlegyas were dead, we only have to worry about the werebears.

“Penthesilea and Phlegyas weren’t the masterminds behind the original plot. There was someone else that was controlling them. We just haven’t found out who that is yet. We know for sure it is not a god or a supernatural being.” Zeus adds.

Well, ok, that rules out a large number of people. Who could be the mastermind then?

“We found these four fucks slinking around the packhouse. I can tell they are not from this pack, but they also don’t smell like rogues. So we decided to do some interrogating.” Kylani replies with an evil smile.

I notice Kaleb out of the corner of my eye. All the colour has drained from his face, and he looks like he is going to have a heart attack.

“Ok, that is fine, but can you do your interrogating from the ground.” Kaleb gasps out.

I see her look at him, and she is immediately in front of him, worried. She asks him what is wrong.

“Seriously, you almost gave me a heart attack when I saw you in that tree. Gorgeous you are four months pregnant please stay on the ground.” He tells her.

I almost laugh out loud. I know her worries, but sometimes I think that he forgets what she can do. I have no doubt she was perfectly fine in that tree, but I do see his point. I sure as hell don’t want Mykayla up a tree right now, either. We save the poor guys from the girls but lock them in the cells. I decide our interrogation can wait till tomorrow. We all go our separate ways for the night.
