The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 65

Sixty-Four: Old Pack Land

Brandon

I knew Chris had the animals to roam the old pack land and figure out who was there and where they were. I had a feeling I knew where they were. I remember when all that shit went down. That was fucking terrible. I also witnessed Mykenzie and Kylani wipe out the Navarro pack. That was the scariest shit I have ever seen. I decided to do a little searching on the old pack land myself. I am able to get on the land because I am immoral. I also have an advantage over the other guys(except Chris). I don’t have a scent. I was wounded when I was younger while training with the girls. It was nothing serious, well, at least that’s what we thought. I must have had a cut on my hand and didn’t realize it, and I went and gave one of the girls a pat on the back. Well, she must have had a cut or something on a wing because I was on death’s door within an hour. I apparently got some of their blood in my wound. Well, after Chris figured out what happened, they were able to make sure I survived. Mykenzie and Kylani felt terrible, and I think they still feel guilty to this day. Since our blood mixed, I gained some of their powers, one being I don’t carry a scent so I can’t be tracked. I am keeping in the shadows (another power I gained. If I don’t want to be seen, I won’t be). I am headed to the old packhouse and cottages. I spot Jade in the distance, headed in the same direction. I walked along the back of one of the smaller cottages. That’s when I heard the first voice. I know that voice. She should be dead; that’s what we were told.

“Remind me again why we saved some of that family?” An unknown male voice said.

Absolutely no fucking way! I know that voice too. What in the fuck are they doing alive?

“They are our ticket for revenge. That’s why.” The female answers.

“You still want to go through with your plan then? “ He asks

“Yes, those two belong to us. We created them. We lost our powers because of them and they need to pay. Thankfully that werewolf family found us and helped us escape before they could kill us. Our own father wasn’t even going to save us. Remember, they have held all the power for much too long.” She answered.

I stood there for a while, unable to believe who I had just found. So that’s how they escaped. The Navarros helped them and hid them. If their powers were taken away, then how are they immortal? This should be impossible. I need to tell someone, but who? If Mykenzie and Kylani find out, they will come here, and all hell will break loose. I have to tell the gods. I have to figure out how to communicate with them without raising suspicion. I am going to have to tell Dimitri, and then we can go to the gods. This is not going to be a fun conversation.

Dimitri

When Brandon came to me and told me what he had done, I was not surprised. I was irritated, but I knew he was just as protective of the girls as the rest of us. However, when he told me who he heard and who he saw, I was shocked. After the shock wore off, I was just fucking pissed. Dominick and I weren’t the only werewolves back then, but we had no idea that their family went that far back either. I did some research about the werewolf families and found that the Navarro’s are one of the oldest families. Apparently, the last name has changed as the last child with the Navarro last name was a girl and obviously got married. I was finally able to find out about Zane. His mother died. He was born, so the woman he knows as his mother is not. She married his father because she learned of the pack. She found out that Lishelle was here, and she was a link to the old pack, my pack. Lishelle finally had to explain everything to her family and the ranking members of the pack. They were surprised but not angry. It did take Liam a while to come to terms with all the information, but he eventually was okay with everything. Brandon and I are sitting with me in my office, waiting for a few visitors. We are sitting there when Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Ares walk in. I was not expecting Ares. They all take a seat. I let Brandon explain what he heard and saw a week ago on the old pack land. I sat there quietly. I sat there watching their facial expressions change from shock to pure anger. After Brandon was finished, I began explaining what I had learned about the family.

“I would like to know one thing. I thought that Penthesilea and Phlegyas were put to death after what they did to Aphrodite.” I said.

“We were told they were and there were pictures of them dead. I saw them die.” Hades replied.

“Their powers were removed then they were killed.” Ares states.

None of us knows what to say. It’s obvious someone saved Penthesilea and Phlegyas, but why? Who would save them after everything that they did? There is no way a werewolf could sneak them out without someone seeing them. This means whoever did must be either a god or a supernatural.

“I know for sure it is not one of the gods or goddesses. We all rejected their link to us after the incident.” Zeus states.

That leaves someone from the supernatural world. The only supernatural beings that would help would be either a vampire coven or werebears. I voice my conclusion to the group, and they agree. I think back to what Marcus and Jason said about the guy that came and basically decided he was the alpha of their little clan. Werebears are usually solitary, so the fact that there is a small clan of them is strange. I let them know that I would look into the vampire and werebear link. I let Brandon know that he may have to help with the werebear side since he has no scent and can’t be tracked. He understands. We all agree that we cannot let Mykenzie and Kylani find out what we are up to. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Ares say they will see if any of the gods or goddesses know or have heard anything. This whole situation is getting out of hand. Who in the fuck would help those two after all the trouble they caused?
