a step away from me.
“You cannot have these things without the Alpha’s permission.” She warned. “I must take this to Aiden. If he approves, he’ll return the drive back to you.” I shook my head. Aiden would destroy the drive once he took a look at the files on Lumar. He did not want me to pursue this, but I also needed to get his view point on where he stood.
We haven’t had the opportunity to discuss how he felt about this and when he tried, I stabbe d him in the chest with a pen knife and ran away. Sarah tried to leave again, but I stopped her, pulling the pen knife out of my hoodie pocket.
“Sarah, stop.” Pointing the knife at her.
I promised that I would find a way to kill Lumar with this knife and I was going to keep good on my word, no matter what it took. Anxious for answers and a solution, I decided that I needed to talk with Aiden first before I tried to sneak away. Maybe he would be supportive, help me find a way to rid Lumar from the world and I was being stubborn, letting my temper get the best of me, it’s not like it hasn’t happened before.
“I’ll take it to him.” I assured Sarah. She was waiting for the flash drive. Realizing that I wasn’t going to comply with her orders, Sarah decided to let it go and she left the room. I quickly washed and dressed myself before she could return, sneaking out of the bathroom to meet with Aiden. My hair still damp from bathing, I skipped as quickly as I could up the stairs to Aiden’s lair. Aiden was there, pacing his room with a few of his pack members. I ran inside, slamming the door behind me.
I knew Sarah was going to return with guards that would force me to turn over the flash drive and pen knife, and I did not want to cause any rift between Aiden and his guards. I would protect myself if they were to attack me and this would definitely be very damaging to Aiden’s stand as a pack leader.
Being the Alpha male was a very important position amongst Werewolves. Leadership consisted of strength and power. Aiden would have to maintain both in order to remain the pack leader. Any sign of weakness or poor judgment would subject him to removal from the throne and another pack member could possibly take his place.
I did not want Aiden to lose his position, but my behavior was becoming very questionable. Soon, the pack members were going to question Aiden’s authority, but I wasn’t given much of a choice in the matter. Problems seemed to be hitting me left and right, and I could not find a better way get through this without compromising Aiden.
The pack members stood from their seats and bowed their heads to me. I nodded from them to rise while I hurried to Aiden’s side. Aiden rumpled my damp messy hair and frowned.
“If this is how Sarah delivers me to you, then she and I need to have a talk.” Aiden complained. The pack members laughed lightly as if they found enjoyment from his joke.
“I need to speak with you for a moment.” I said to him. I wanted to quickly present my side of things before Sarah exposed me. I knew that I had to be honest with him about the flash drive, but I did not want the other pack members to get word of this.
Chapter 7
“This is a very important matter Luna,” one of the pack members addressed me. They were already acknowledging me as their Alpha female. This was not a position I wanted, nor did I have any plans to accept, but for now, I had to play with the cards that I had been dealt. I stood quietly beside Aiden and listened to the pack members. Aiden played casually in my hair as we listened.
“Lumar has built an army that we cannot defeat. It grows in numbers as we speak. We cannot defeat such a massive army alone.” He said. Lumar grabbed my hand and reached out to the Wolf that spoke to me.
“ Hanah, this is Marcus, my second in command. He controls the pack army and all duties of war.” He introduced. I reached out to shake his hand casually, surprised when he bowed. Aiden pushed my hand
