The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 88

Eighty-Seven: Convention

Dustin

All the alpha’s and their entourages had arrived. The banquet was in full swing. So far, no one had done anything to anger the girls. Which I have been grateful for. Even Alpha Darrius (he is such an asshole) seemed to behave around them. I was currently talking to Alpha Bryan and Alpha Stephan when Chris wandered over. I introduced everyone, and Chris joined in our conversation. I noticed the girls casually dispersing around the room. They seemed to be mingling well, but I noticed how they had positioned themselves seemed off. I wanted to ask Chris, but I was unable to with the other two alphas there. If it had been Aiden there, it wouldn’t have mattered. I continued my surveillance of the girls. I decided to get another drink and walked over to where the drinks were. As I was walking back, Brighton and Kaleb walked over to me. We stood there talking for a while; soon after, Chris and Aiden joined us.

“The girls seem to be behaving themselves. I noticed they have mingled fairly well with everyone.” Brighton commented.

I heard Chris snort before he took a drink. I know that sound. Those seven are up to something. Kaleb told us that they knew about Penthesilea and Phlegyas being dead and that the animals told them. I honestly figured that they knew most of this shit already. I had no idea that they ended up in our town because they had followed the trail of those three werebears here. Chris was even surprised at that.

“Oh, please, those girls are strategically placing themselves around this room. They are basically spying on the other alphas. Especially Alpha Darrius. They know who he is and what a dick he is capable of being.” Chris retorts.

I knew they were up to something. I wonder if they have found out anything. I’ll have to ask them later. The five of us watch her, and Brighton notices that Alpha Darrius is intently watching Mykenzie and Kylani. He tells what he has noticed through a mind link. I start to observe him as well. Brighton is right. His eyes follow them. I do not like this at all. Kylani walks over to us, and Kaleb wraps his arm around her. She gives him a kiss. I noticed Alpha Darrius turned to talk to someone. Well, that was strange. I will definitely be keeping an eye on him and the little group he brought with him. I decided to update all the guys on him and that we need to watch him. I can tell that Kaleb is irritated with the way Alpha Darrius’s eyes are locked on Kylani, but I tell him not to worry. None of us guys will let anything happen to any of our girls. Besides the fact, Kylani can more than take care of herself.

The meetings last for the next three days. We have kept a close eye on Alpha Darrius. He never did try anything, but I still have a strange feeling about him. It’s two days after the meetings, and everything seems to be back to normal. Well normal for around here. We did talk to Chris about the possibility of the werebears being hidden by someone. We did ask him about them being hidden in another realm. He didn’t think that was a possibility.

“Even if they crossed to a different realm with someone who can travel through them easily, it would have been felt or noticed,” Chris explains.

“So then someone here is hiding them?” Xion asks.

“Yeah, that is my guess. Whoever it is concealing themselves and the bears with the magic of some sort.” Chris says.

“Do you have any guesses as to who this could be?” I ask.

“Unfortunately, I don’t. I personally don’t know that many demons, and there are literally hundreds of fallen angels. If an angel is working with a demon then it is a fallen angel.” Chris tells us.

We sit there and think about what he just said. We still have those four guys in the cells. It turns out they are not wolves. They are humans that were out in the forest camping and got lost. Somehow they just happened to stumble onto our land and saw the packhouse. We are trying to figure out what to do with them. I had Marcus and Jason run background checks on them. None of them has families. They were all orphaned when they were younger. The oldest is 21 while the youngest is 18. I actually felt sorry for them, considering they ran into the girls and what happened. I have to admit walking up and seeing that scene was funny. We did ask them what they saw before they were captured by our immortal security system. Apparently, they already knew about the supernatural world, so they weren’t scared of us. They didn’t realize they had wandered onto our territory. I did apologize for the way they were treated. I think that those four think that the girls are witches, and that is fine with me. They don’t need to know the truth.

“We should let them go. I can erase their memories of stumbling onto the pack territory, and they can go on with their camping trip.” Chris says.

“There are only two issues with that.” Nate states.

“What are the issues?” I ask.

“Two of them are mates to two of our female warriors. I think one might be the mate of one of the omegas in the pack house kitchen.” He explains.

I let out a groan. Well, this is a strange turn of events. Why am I not surprised that this happens? I decide to have Chris read their minds to see if he can find any trouble these four may cause. I can’t separate mates. That will just cause terrible amounts of pain. Usually, humans don’t feel the bond as strong as we do, but I can’t turn the guys away in good conscience now. I tell the guys that it’s time to have another big meeting at Marcus’s and Jason’s so we can figure out what to do with these four.

I began to get suspicious when they all started meeting at Marcus’s and Jason’s house. I know they think they are being sneaky, but I know something is up. I noticed it after all the alpha’s left. I am sure it has something to do with one of the alphas. They think that we (as women) haven’t noticed anything. If they only knew. I swear guys can be so oblivious at times. I love Chris, but if he thinks he is keeping things from his sisters or me, he obviously needs his head examined. I am just getting back from my mother’s coven. I dropped a sample of Einyn’s blood off to the witch that I know. She has been working on it to see which witch coven Einyn’s father belonged to. I was very surprised by the results. I am sure everyone will be shocked as well. It is definitely not what any of us were expecting.

“Do they really think we are that stupid?” Natalya asks.

“I think they think that they are being sneaky,” I tell her.

“Well, they are wrong,” Mykayla says.

“No, they are fucking idiots.” Kylani states.

“Let them keep thinking they have the upper hand. It keeps them from getting suspicious about us.” Bryn says.

The seven of them have been going and trying to figure out who is the mastermind behind this. If the guys only knew they were doing this, shit would hit the fan, especially if Kaleb found out. Kylani would never hear the end of it. She and Mykenzie have been wandering around town in the shadows to find the bears. None of us has had any luck. It is like they vanished into thin air. I have no doubt we will find them, though. It’s just a matter of time.
