Alpha Nicholas

Chapter 44 –



Alpha Nicholas

This little prick thinks he's clever but he's nothing but a waste of air and he's going to pay for the hell he's put my mate through. Of course, I know the werewolf law of not being able to punish him for a crime without his Alpha's permission. If Bonnie had officially been my mate when I caught him attacking her then I would have ended him right there and then and it wouldn't have been a problem. Still, I don't want a war with another pack if I can prevent it and I also didn't want his end to be that quick, he thinks there's a way for him to get off easy but there's not. Yes, I pride myself on being a man of my word but when it comes to Rowan and Lola all bets are off which is why today in the middle of everything happening I managed to find a few minutes to call Alpha Harold and inform him of what I caught Rowan doing out in the forest, I also made him aware of the further issues that we need to discuss but thankfully, he was happy to come here and discuss everything here which I'm grateful for because I didn't want to talk about Bonnie's abuse over the phone. It's a conversation that needs to be done in person.

I had originally assumed that Alpha Harold wouldn't arrive until later tonight due to the distance between our packs and of course, he would need to make arrangments before he could leave so you can imagine my complete and utter joy when he informed me that he was in fact at his sister's back just 3 hours away. The sooner he gets here the better.

With everything that just happened with Tony and him turning off the lights, I hadn't paid much attention to the time until I had a link informing me that he had arrived and I was nothing but fucking relieved. Keeping my hands off Rowan and holding Storm back is so much harder than you could ever imagine and while we both know that we won't be able to kill the prick the moment his Alpha turns up, just knowing that we are a step closer to it helps a lot.

While I stand in front of the prick who thinks his shit smells of roses the main door to the cells echoes through the hallway as it opens and shuts soon followed by heavy footsteps, and then the door to this room opens and I feel Storm howl with joy. I don't turn back to look at him, I don't need to. I know that my men that are currently in this room have my back and my mates so instead I keep my eyes on the prick in front of me and want to laugh until I cry when I see the relieved look on his face. Does he seriously think that his Alpha is here to save him?

As Alpha Harold comes to stand beside me I take a moment to look around and notice that all of the men who came with him are all standing back against the walls never taking their eyes off him. They don't want to overstep the mark or invade his privacy but they are still making sure that he is protected and I can respect them for that. "Alpha Nicholas. It's nice to see you once again. It's just a shame that it's under these circumstances. I nod a sad smile but keep my thoughts to myself for now. "Hello, Alpha, Harold. Thank you for making the trip here today." He smiles at me before turning to face the front and setting his eyes on his future Beta who is currently tied to a chair and looks about ready to shit himself.

"Well hello, Rowan. What the hell have you been doing?" Again the need to laugh at him is strong. He looks like the cat who got the cream, like Alpha Harold, is about to swoop in and rescue him and he'll just walk off into the sunset. Absolutely fucking not! "Alpha, thank you for coming for me. How did you find out about this mishap? Did my dad call you?" he may not realize it at that very moment but those words turn out to be a major fuck up on his part.

"Why would your dad know about this? Doesn't he assume that you went home like we all did?" I growl. He looks up at me while still holding that cocky look on his face but I can see the panic in his eyes, he knows he's royally fucked up and I'm about to find out exactly how much he has indeed fucked up, how much all of his family has fucked up. "I am talking to my Alpha and it is disrespectful of you to interrupt my conversation with him!" He gives me a smirk but before I can even say a word his Alpha steps in and quickly shuts him up.

"One, I am here because Alpha Nicholas called me this afternoon and it was deemed necessary that I arrive as soon as possible. Two, I don't believe there has been any mishap. Three, no your dad hasn't contacted me, and four, aside from Alpha Nicholas indeed being an Alpha and therefore doesn't require my permission to speak, we are also on his pack lands and he is entitled to ask you anything he wants so as your Alpha I am instructing you to answer him because if you are indeed innocent of anything like you claim then there is nothing for your father to know about so I would like to know the answer to Alpha Nichola's question myself.

The look of fear in his eyes makes me beam with joy but it's soon cuts short when muffled voices behind me pull my attention away from prick head and straight onto my mate and Brother. As I turn around I can hear Will whispering to Bonnie but I can't quite catch what he's saying.

"What is it?" They both look at me as I ask and it's clear that Bonnie wants to say something but instead, she remains quiet looking like she's shrinking back into herself and it instantly makes me angry while Will gives me a strange look before turning to face Bonnie once again. "Bonnie, darling tell them. Tell them what you just told me. I promise you won't get in any trouble and there's no fucking way that you will get hurt by anyone here, no one from this pack will let that happen."

"I won't let that happen either, sweet girl." Alpha Harold's voice is calm yet I can see the slight tick in his jaw. He pissed and it makes me insanely happy. I look back at my mate to find her already looking at me so I give her a gentle smile and nod as I try and encourage her to speak, to know that she is safe to speak.

"When we were out in the first before you turned up, Rowan told me that both my dad and Blue knew that he hadn't gone home. He said... that... that they both knew about his plan all along and supported it." I watch her shoulders sag with relief at finally telling me but it only makes mine tense in anger. We hadn't gotten around to talking about what had happened before I turned up and clearly, there is stuff I still need to know.

I look across the room locking eyes with Shane and without saying a word he grabs several Warriors including Robbie and leaves the cells. He'll go and get Bonnie's dad and sister and bring them to the cells while my mate, Alpha Harold, and myself have a chat and find out all the missing details.

"Will, lock him up. Keep several guards on him and Lola at all times, I'll update you when I know more." He gives me a look of determination but also I can see the anger lingering there. He won't let either of those twats get out and he's going to be more than happy to help finish them off when the time comes.

"Tony. You come with us. You deserve to know anything involving Lola." He gives me a grateful nod and then joins us as we head out of the cells and toward my office. It's not a very long walk but it's long enough to have my temper rise more and more. There will be several dead wolves by the time I'm finished which brings both Storm and me great joy but it will also mean the end of my mate's family and I just hope that she's ok with that. I know she hates them for what they have done but her heart is massive and I'm not sure how she will handle what needs to be done.

We quickly reach my office and while both Alphy Harold and Tony take a seat in front of my desk I grab Bonny's waist and pull her to sit on my lap as I sit in my large leather chair. I know she is not officially my mate yet but I just need her close and I believe her being close to me will help just as much. As I start to pull her towards my lap she tense up but thankfully it only lasts a few seconds and then she relaxes. I look at her face and see that she is embarrassed and I would much rather that to her being tense and afraid. Embarrassed I can work with.

"So where do we begin?" Alpha Harold asks causing my mate to instantly forget her embarrassment and once again become tense. Those fuckers are dead and they will suffer, really fucking suffer! Sophie

"Do you have a few minutes to help me with these sandwiches, snacks, and drinks, sweet girl?" The moment I walk into the kitchen Omega Suzzy greets me and then asks for help. "Of course. Where are they going?" I'm technically not working right now but I would never leave Suzzy without help. "Down to the cells. Several of the guards and Alpha's brothers are guarding some important prisoners, I don't know who they are but I've been asked to take them lunch and drinks.

It's not the first time I've taken food down to the guards in the cells so I'm not too bothered about doing it now, even though I have been pretty much hiding out since the night of the ball where I met my mate and he rejected me because of my scar. I shut down those dark thoughts and busy myself with helping Suzzy and soon enough we are at the entrance to the cells.

Who knew how much my life would change by me going down to the cells that day...
