The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 59

Fifty-Eight: Allies

Chris

We were sitting in the rec room when my cell rang. I looked at the caller id and was surprised to see who was calling. Why the hell is Deklan calling me? This has me both angry, and my curiosity piqued. I answer the call and walk out of the rec room to take the call. Deklan and I talk for about half an hour. I end the call and stand there for a minute in shock. He wants to become allies with the pack and has a couple of friends who want to align themselves with the pack. I am not sure how to react. He wants to meet with the ranking members and me. I tell him there is no way that my sisters will not be in that meeting. He kind of figured that they would be. I put my phone in my pocket and returned to the rec room. This is going to be one interesting conversation.

“So I just got a call from the vamp that helped the wolves try and kidnap the kids,” I tell them.

I hear a low growl, and I know that has angered some of the guys. I sigh and explain the conversation between him, myself, and my sisters. I can tell Kaleb is a bit irritated that my sisters confronted the vamp, but I know he knows that is the only way to get them to talk.

“He and a couple of friends want to work with the pack. They want to be our allies.” I say.

“I am not sure I want any vamps, no offense Dimitri, working with the pack. Are the friends vamps as well?” Dustin asks.

“He didn’t say. Something tells me they are not vamps.” I answer.

We all sit there and talk. We decided to order a few pizzas and some wings. After a few hours of Xbox and a few games of pool, we decided to arrange a meeting with Deklan and his friends. I shot Deklan a text telling him to talk to his friends so we could arrange a meeting. He texts back ok and will get back to me after talking to the two guys. I let the guys know. We have been in the rec room having a guy’s day when Kylani pops into my head.

“We are gonna bring home some food. Aunt Athena and Persephone apparently decided to have a cook and bake day. Hope all of you are hungry.” Kylani tells me.

Oh, hot damn, Aunt Athena and Persephone are amazing cooks. Persephone is also an amazing baker. This is going to be fantastic.

“Are you and Kaleb ok?” I ask her back.

“Yeah, we are good.” She says.

“Stop fucking talking to your sisters in your mind. We feel left out of a conversation.” Dustin says.

I start laughing. I tell them about all the food and that the girls are bringing it back. Of course, they are excited about homemade food. That’s when I realized that they took the girls shopping in another world. Hmmm, very interesting. We, at least none of those assholes, can follow them. All of the girls get home about an hour later. They are all carrying several bags of who knows what. Obviously, their little shopping spree was successful. They go and put their stuff away. I guess they left Bree and Araya over at Nate’s parent's house to spend the night with Ziara. I begin to smell something amazing. They walk in carrying armloads of food. Fuck yeah, we are going to be eating good tonight. We are sitting there eating when I decide to let my sisters know about the phone call from Deklan. I figure now is as good of a time as any.

“So why you ladies were splurging today I got an interesting phone call,” I tell them.

“Oh yeah, from who,” Kylani says.

Kaleb is lying in her lap while she feeds him strawberries. I roll my eyes and think about saying something until I think that that could be Nymyra and myself. I see Nate and Ashton roll their eyes at the two.

“The call was from Deklan. He and a couple of friends want to become allies with us to bring down the other pack.” I tell them.

I could see my sister's mood change instantly. I see Mykenzie’s eyes start to glow from irritation. Kylani lets out a low growl. This is not going to go over well. They are still pissed at him for attacking the pack in the first place. Kylani goes to get up, but Kaleb grabs her around the waist to keep her there.

“Nope I am comfortable and my pillow is not going anywhere.” He says to her.

I give them all the details of the phone call, and they somewhat calm down. I can tell they are not keen on the idea of aligning the pack with them.

“I understand why you feel this way, I am not convinced about this either. I agreed to meet the three of them somewhere to see what they have to say. Plus we all know that you will be there for this meeting.” Dustin comments.

“Better fucking believe we are gonna be there for this meeting. I don’t trust Deklan and who knows about his friends.”Kylani grumbles.

I can hear Mykenzie grumbling, but I am choosing to ignore her. These two are so protective it’s sometimes irritating. I do understand why they are not fully behind this idea. Deklan sent some of his guys to help kidnap the kids to try and get their hands on my sisters and Mykayla. I guess we shall see what happens. I told Deklan that I would be the one to choose where this meeting would take place. He agreed, and I am just waiting for a call to confirm this meeting and tell him and his friends where to meet us.

Dustin

It’s been five days since the initial call from Deklan. He called two days later, and he and Chris set up the meeting and the meeting place. Chris decided on a place that was neutral ground. Some islands in the middle of some lake. I think this is just someplace where the girls can keep control if something goes wrong. I don’t think Deklan or the other two are stupid enough to try something with all the girls there. Once the rest of them found out about the meeting, they insisted on being present. Needless to say, Nate and Ashton weren’t overly happy about that. None of us can stop them, though, so why even try?

“ I am not sure about leaving Mykayla, Natalya, and Nymyra here by themselves,” I say

I know Nymyra and Natalya are way more than capable of taking care of themselves, but I am not sure about Mykayla. I noticed her scent changed a bit a few days ago. I am beginning to think she might be carrying my pup, but it would be way too early for us to tell.

“Have them go spend that time with Imyra and Aphrodite. Have them take the babies and have a family day. I know many of Mykayla’s fae relatives would love to see her. Have to take Bree and Araya to. They would more than be safe. I can guarantee that the animals will be on patrol around the packhouse at this time. Besides, the girls will be aware of everything that is going on in both locations. If shit happens here they will know and be back here in an instant.” Dimitri comments.

That is not a bad idea. I know everything he says is true. I will talk to the three of them and see if this is something they will do for me. It would make me feel better. I have no doubt that the animals will be lurking around. They usually are. We decided to continue this conversation in the rec room instead of my office. It is more comfortable since so many of us are trying to fit into this office. We walk into the rec room to find a couple of the animals there. Seriously they are so fucking huge. Kylani is sitting on the floor, and Phantom has his huge head in her lap as Jordyn, Xaydyn, and Dominick climb all over him, Jade and Leo. I do have to admit that these three babies are more than safe. The three of them have made a circle around the babies with their bodies. I am still more afraid of their owners than them. Brynn is also sitting on the floor with the twins lying by Leo. I watch as the other three practice their walking. Dominick has been walking for about a month now. Jordyn and Xaydyn just started last week. I watch as Dominick goes behind Jordyn and tries to catch her as she wobbles as she, walks and falls. They both go down, but it is still cute. I look at Kaleb, and he gives me a glare. He is so protective of Jordyn. I go and sit down by Mykayla as I avoid stepping on all these overgrown house cats. We all relax because we know that tomorrow is going to be stressful. It’s a meeting day tomorrow.
