The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 99

Ninety - Eight: Bringing Them In

Dustin

We are watching these two morons from the other side of the one-way window. We could see them but they can’t see us. I had a couple of my warriors bring them in today as Marus asked. Standing here watching these two I can already tell that Brandon is right. They don’t seem to be the brightest of the bunch. Marcus and Jason have been gathering information on these two for the last week and they have not found much. These two have been part of the pack for six years and have never caused any issues. They are decent fighters and work in town. I have a feeling that they were offered a decent amount of money to follow the girls and take the pictures. Chris did let us know that his sisters already knew about being followed and having the pictures taken. Why does this not surprise me? I guess the fact that they had control of who, when, and where this was happening is better than being blindsided. I have decided to let Nate question them. He is the calmest of the three of us. Kaleb and I just want to punch them. That would get us nowhere.

“Who asked you to follow our women and take all these pictures?” Nate asks.

“I don’t know his name but he was a werebear.” One of the answers.

“He said that we would get paid well and always met us in town at this creepy as hell dive bar.” The other one answered.

“The last pictures we sent him was a week ago. We haven’t heard from him since.” The first one answers.

“We still have a zip drive with all the pictures on it. We can give it to you if you want. He gave us the drive so maybe there is something on it.” the second guy says.

Well, this is an interesting turn of events. I wonder if the zip drive will hold any useful information. These two are still idiots, but at least they are helpful idiots. Nate tells them that we do want the zip drive and that they are to let him know if the bear contacts them again. I have a feeling that their days of taking pictures are finished but who knows. I think the bears act on impulse a lot, but they have evaded us for a while now so who knows. We let these two go and make our way back to Marcus’s living room. We didn’t really learn much and it seems that the bears have moved from where they were hiding out to a new location. The animals are still tracking them but have not been able to find them. I have a feeling that they are hiding out on Alpha Darrius’s territory. We have been spying with the help of Poseidon, but wherever the bears are staying on the territory must not be near water. If only we could find one of the bears and somehow get a tracker on him that would be so fucking helpful.

Payton

I am standing in line to pick up some food for the girls. Kaleb texted me and asked if I could stop by their favorite Italian restaurant and pick up some food for them. I am going to guess Kylani had a craving for Italian. I told him that I can do that, so here I am waiting for the order to be done. I get the food and am headed to my car when I see him. Well isn’t this an amazing opportunity? I pull out my phone and follow him down the street. He walks into a store that I was going to go into. This is actually where I was headed before I had to stop for food. I texted Kaleb letting him know I got the food and that I will be back soon. I snapped a picture of the bear since I don’t know which one of the three he is but I know he is one of them. I recognize him from the pictures that Jason showed us. I texted Chris the picture and asked him what to do. He texted me back to follow him and that he is sending Brandon with a way to track him. I tell him ok and that I will wait for Brandon to show up. I pick up a pair of pants and head towards the dressing rooms.

“Hey I have the tracker,” Brandon says.

“Fuck, seriously couldn’t you have given me a clue that you were here. I think my heart stopped.” I whisper yell at him.

He lets out a quiet laugh and hands me the tracker and disappears. The jackass. I walk back out of the dressing room and I just happen to have to walk right past him. I let the tracker attach itself to him and go about my business. I do buy a couple of shirts and some jeans. I leave the shop before he does. I stop to answer my phone and watch him walk out of the store. I let Chris know that the tracker is on him.

“Hey get home soon. My sisters are bitching about their food.” He says over the phone.

Shit, I need to get home now. The last thing I need is for them to come to retrieve their food and see the bear. That would be a fucking nightmare. I tell him I am on my way and make my way back to my car. I unlock my car and climb in. Time to get home and start tracking this bastard.

Blake

I was sitting out back with Xion and Chris when Payton got back. He walked over and joined us. We were out there watching the three little ones in the pool. Chris was in there along with Xion. Xion was puffing out a small burst of fire onto the water to make clouds of steam that the little ones were swimming through. Jordyn was giggling up a storm. I had to laugh when Chris grabbed her to push her through the steam and Dominick pushed his hand away from her. That girl is going to have her hands full with him when they get older.

“So everything worked out, I take it?” Chris asks.

“Yup, everything is in place and should be up and running.” Payton answers.

He explains to both Xion and me what happened while he was in town. Well, damn luck must be on our side. No one has seen any of the bears in weeks. What luck that one would be out and about at the same time one of us was. We were trying to talk in code around the little ones. I am sure they don’t understand but we are not sure what powers Jordyn and Xaydyn have. So until we know we talk very carefully around them just in case they can talk to their mothers possibly through their minds. I do admit I am very interested to see when and what powers they have. So far no one has seen anything from either but it’s just a matter of time. I am also interested to see if Jordyn can fully or partially shift into a wolf. Dustin said that the first shift doesn’t happen till one is 18 but who knows with Kylani being her mom. We have been out by the pool for about an hour when Dustin joins us. We updated him on what happened.

“What the hell?” Xion says.

The three of us not in the pool lookup. Well, it starts. Xion blows out a small fireball and Jordyn catches it and it changes to a bright purple color. She moves her hand and it lands in Chris’s face. Of course, it doesn’t hurt him but he is surprised. Then she makes the fire appear out of nowhere.

“Oh great, just one more person to play with fire around here.” Dustin mumbles.

“Well, it appears her powers are starting to show.” Payton comments.

We continue the talk about what happened in town with Payton. Chris yells for Kylani to come out to where we are. She comes out looking less than happy about it. She is carrying her food and eating at the same time. Chris tells Jordyn to show her mom what she did. When Kylani sees this she just smiles. I just shake my head. Nothing in this group surprises me.
