The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 60

Fifty-Nine: Allies Part 2

Deklan

I am driving to the meeting place that Chris has told us to show up at. I am driving to the location separately from Marcus and Jason. I am super nervous about this meeting. I know the pack, and I are not on good terms considering I was part of the plot to kidnap some of the kids from the pack. I arrive at the designated parking lot and see that Marcus and Jason are already there. I walk up to them, and we greet each other. We are better friends than Zane, and I are. I have no idea why I agreed to help Zane. I have never really trusted him. The three of us stand there for a bit, waiting.

“Where is this place at?” Marcus asks.

“I am not sure. Someone is supposed to come and take us there..” I explain.

“Hello, gentleman,” Chris says.

The three of us turn around, and there Chris stands. He has a neutral look on his face. I gulp because I know that if he is here, so are Mykenzie and Kylani. I look at Marcus and Jason; they are just staring at Chris. They know him as well. Just about all the supernatural world knows these three. I watch as Chris greets Marcus and Jason and then tells us to follow him. We follow him down the path to a lake. Of course, all of a sudden, a path across the water appears. We walk across it, and there sitting on benches and chairs, are the ranking members of the pack. I don’t see the girls anywhere, but I know they are there. I take a seat in a chair, and Marcus and Jason take a seat on a couple of logs. I take a deep breath and decide to say something.

“I want to thank you for meeting with us. I know that after what happened a month ago that your trust in me is zero.” I say.

“You are right when you say that our trust in you is zero, but I would like to hear what the three of you have to say.” Dustin states.

“It would be nice if your friends would introduce themselves,” Nate says.

“I am Marcus and this is my brother Jason. Our old clan recently had a visitor from the wolf pack asking for help to kidnap some people. We know of this because our cousin Paul called us to tell us. We left our clan when the clan got a new Alpha and we do not agree with the way he leads so we left to be on our own.” Marcus explains.

“I didn’t think werebears grouped up,” Kaleb says.

“Normally we don’t, but sometimes we do unofficially. There isn’t usually an Alpha but this clan is weak and he was able to take control.” Jason says.

We are actually sitting there having a decent conversation when Brighton (I think that’s his name) says something, and Marcus takes it wrong. They stand up and get toe to toe until Kaleb decides to step in between. Kaleb pushes Brighton back and turns to Marcus, trying to be diplomatic. Marcus accidentally bumps Kaleb’s shoulder and knocks him to the ground. Next, we see Marcus slammed into a tree and Kylani with her hand around his throat. Her nails are starting to dig into his skin, and blood runs down his neck. I hear two different deep growls, and I know one is Kylani, and that’s when I see Mykenzie standing there, ready to pounce. I look around, and all the other girls are there, ready to finish shit. I see their eyes glowing and a red hue starting to form around them. OH, SHIT, SOMEONE MIGHT DIE RIGHT NOW!

Well, this was going well. Not so much any longer. I watch as Marcus accidentally bumps Kaleb’s shoulder and knocks him to the ground. I never even saw Kylani come out of the shadows. Marcus was up against the tree with her hand wrapped around his throat, nails digging into his flesh and blood starting to run down his neck.

“Kaleb pull her off now!.” I yell at him.

Everybody is yelling, and the stress level is now through the roof. I watch as Kaleb walks over to Kylani and grabs her around her waist, pulling her back from killing Marcus.

“Hey calm down baby, it was an accident,” Kaleb says to her.

She starts to calm down as her eyes slowly stop glowing, and the red hue slowly disappears. I look around, and all seven are standing around our group in a protective way like a bunch of bodyguards. I appreciate the concern, but for fuck sake, we need to hear what these three have to say and see if this deal is even possible. This can’t happen if they kill one of them.

“OK, LISTEN UP YOU SEVEN IF YOU ARE GONNA BE HERE THEN SIT YOUR SEXY ASSES DOWN AND BEHAVE. NO MORE FIGHTING.” I yell.

They all look at me. I get death glares from Mykenzie and Kylani. They give me a look as if to say, “do you have any idea who you are talking to”. I

am very aware of who they are, but this is ridiculous. I give them an Alpha look, and all but Mykenzie and Kylani respond. They are taking this challenge seriously.

“I am not challenging the two of you, but I want to hear what these three are proposing and you two are making this meeting difficult,” I explain.

They soften up a bit as Reecie and Kaleb pull them into their laps to sit down. That is the best spot for them. At least those two can somewhat control them. Everybody goes back to their seat, and Marcus, Brighton and Kaleb apologize to each other. That appeases the girls, who sit there just watching the scene. It also helps when Chris brings out a massive amount of food. I start to notice Marcus taking a very keen interest in Leah and Jason in Alexis. This also doesn’t escape Mykenzie and Kylani. I see them smirk. As we sit there and talk, Deklan explains how his situation occurred. Marcus and Jason have no loyalty to anyone but Mykenzie and Kylani. They obviously know exactly who the girls are. We find out that Marcus and Jason have a speciality in tech and security.

“Ok, I believe we can come to some sort of agreement. Marcus and Jason come to the packhouse tomorrow. I will make sure you have no issues getting onto our land. Deklan you can come to. I still don’t fully trust you, but since you have been honest as Chris has vouched then I am willing to work with you. Just remember if you break this trust it is not me you get to deal with.” I tell him.

He nods at me and then looks at Mykenzie and Kylani, who have the evilest smiles on their faces. I would not ever want to be on their bad side. We are saying wrapping up the plan for tomorrow when Kylani is all of a sudden gone. That’s when I hear someone vomiting. I follow the sound to find Kylani behind a tree vomiting up all her dinner. I walk up to her and rub her back.

“You ok dragonfly,” I ask her.

After they revealed their wings, Ashton decided to announce that they looked like dragonflies, and the nickname stuck. Oh, the look they gave him. They were not impressed, and Ashton’s hair ended up pink as payback. It was hilarious. He was going to dye it, but Jailynn talked him out of it. It still has a pink hue to it.

“Yeah, my stomach has been off all day. Must have caught a bug.” She says.

“Baby, what’s wrong is everything ok,” Kaleb asks worriedly.

She repeats her last answer, and it calms him down some. There has been flu going around the pack, so that she may have caught it. I had it last week, and it was fucking terrible. We, as a group, walk back across the path to where the cars are parked. I see Marcus talking with Leah and Jason, stealing glances at Alexis. He is walking beside her and has had to catch her from falling several times. Everyone thinks that gods and goddesses are these graceful creatures, then they need to meet Alexis. I love her like a sister, but that girl is so clumsy and uncoordinated it hurts. I tell the three of them to text me when they are close to the pack border so I can let the patrols know, and we can tell the animals not to scare the shit out of them. We drive back to the packhouse and go our separate ways for the night.
