CHAPTER 109
I'm done. That she-bitch has pulled her last stunt, I think to myself as I lay here and hold Declan as he sleeps. I'm afraid to pull
away from him because I don't want him to wake up, but I need to go. and find where they have Lila. Carefully pulling my arms
away inch. by inch, I'm finally able to roll off the edge of the couch without jarring the exhausted Alpha.
I know what he's feeling, and yet I don't because I, at least, had my full senses about me and I was able to shut myself down
during the assaults, whereas Declan was drugged and didn't know what was going on. The feeling of being violated is the same
between. the both of us, but how, is what makes it different and how we each deal with it. Do I think of Declan as weak? Not at
all, and he will be back up and taking charge once again as soon as he has this little time to himself.
When I pass his desk on the way out, I notice the paper sitting on the fax machine and happen to glance at it just to make sure it
isn' t anything time sensitive. Once I see that it's from the Storm River Clinic, I can't help but be nosey. Without touching the
paper, I can read the test results and I see red all over again. Not only did she drug him with a hallucinogen, but she used a very
potent performance drug on him as well. No wonder he couldn't fight it with just the hallucinogen, she had him horny and
prepared.
I'm very quick and quiet as I leave the room to go in search of the she-devil, herself. When I get to the kitchen, I find the head
cook preparing the day's lunch with a few helpers. I don't want to interrupt their preparation, but I need a couple of answers and
so I move to where the cook is stirring something in the big pot on the stove.
"Hey, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me." I smile warmly.
The older she-wolf returns my smile, "Of course, Luna Quinn.”
"First of all, where might I find your Luna?" I ask in the politest way.
The other woman scowls, "The 'Luna' is in the back shower room, being scrubbed at the moment, Alpha's orders."
I can't tell if she's upset because how their Luna is being treated or because of something else, so I tread lightly, "Why do you
seem upset?"
"Upset? That doesn't even begin to cover how I'm feeling at the moment! If I were Alpha, that she-bitch would have been tossed
a long time ago." She huffs, "I really don't like to speak ill of anyone, but that woman..."
I place my hand on her shoulder, "We are going to figure something out, no worries."
Firming her lips, the head cook nods, "You had another question?" She asks me.
"I didn't, Luna Quinn, I'm sorry. In fact, the Luna was in her room most of the day. I saw her first thing in the morning, here in the
kitchen, but she wasn't preparing any food."
Another soft voice speaks up, "I saw her here when I was preparing the Alpha's tray for his evening meal."
I glance over to the shy-looking, young she-wolf, "Was she left with his food at all?"
"As a matter of fact, yes. She said she would help me prepare his tray and asked me to go to the utility closet for the cover.
When I came back, she was already making her own plate of food." The young wolf looks as though she's about to cry.
I go to her and take both her upper arms in my hands while I make her look at me, "There is nothing to be upset about. You were
doing your Luna's bidding. This is all on her, okay?"
The she-wolf nods but still looks upset, "Okay."
I look between the two women and thank them for the information before leaving them to finish preparing the warrior's lunch.
Making my way back towards the back of the pack house to where the community shower rooms are, I can already hear the
bitch's annoying voice as she cusses out whoever is in there with her.
As I turn the corner, I notice Carter standing outside the door, scrolling through his phone. The moment he senses me, though,
he puts it into his pocket and pushes himself away from the wall.
"How's Declan?" He asks as worry lines appear on his forehead.
"He's asleep for now. He feels used and violated, and I don't blame him for wanting this time for himself. We need to give him
that. The doctor's fax came through on the drugs that were used." I go on to explain what I read on the sheet of paper and watch
as Echo, his wolf appears in his eyes.
"I'm going to fucking kill her!" His wolf is the one to state this.
"I think you need to get in line. Unfortunately, we need to wait until Declan is feeling himself again. We don't want to act without
his knowledge, regardless of her crimes." I inform the Beta and his wolf.
"The Elders will be here any moment. I'm hoping they were able to get Declan's scent off her enough for the Elders not to smell
it." He tells me, and I nod in understanding.
Her scent mixed with Declan's will tell the Elders that they have mated since the Union, giving her a little more power as Luna. I
wonder what caused her to go to this extreme. I mean, I knew she was crazy, but if she is found guilty of drugging her Alpha,
there will be consequences.
"I need you to look over the security footage starting from yesterday morning, I instruct Carter, "The cook said that she saw Lila
evening."
He nods, "More than likely, she kept herself hidden from the regular camera or at least kept her back to it, so we can't see
whatever she's doing in front of her." The Beta grins smugly, "Little does she, or anybody else, know that Declan had me set up
other hidden cameras throughout the pack house. I will go check those right away, so we can have something to show the
Elders." I agree and watch him head towards the security room.
"Well, well, well, don't you smell like roses." I snicker at the scene in front of me.
Four huge male warriors are each holding a limb belonging to Lila as two other female warriors continue to scrub her down. One
of them looks to be douching out Lila's vagina while the other takes care of the outside. It all looks barbaric, but Lila brought this
on herself.
"Fuck you, Quinn!" The Luna glares at me, "All of this is your fault! You should have stayed away from my man!"
I can't help but roll my eyes in amusement, "Always blaming others for your own mistakes. This is all on you, Lila, and it's time to
suffer the consequences."
"The Elders are on my side!" She seems to have a bit of a crazy look in her eyes as she says this, "Declan can do whatever he
wants to me, but I will always be the Luna of this pack, and the mother of his heir."
"The Elders aren't on your side, dumb ass! They are only upholding the laws, which by the way, need changing. There are too
many crazy she-wolves thinking to dupe an Alpha by getting them knocked up." I walk towards her, "You will be dealt with.
accordingly, Lila." I lean in and sniff her up and down and then grin, "I hope you enjoyed yourself, because if you were hoping the
Elders would scent your Alpha on you, then you're fooling yourself.".
I glance at the female warriors, "You did a very good job getting rid of his scent, thank you." They both smile and say 'You're
welcome' before glaring at Lila once more as they finish up.
I link my Gamma and send him back to our pack house to pick up a package for me and then send Summer a link, having her
make up a small batch of her scent blocker. I tell both, my Gamma and Summer, that we need it back here as soon as possible.
Turning my attention back to the others, I smirk at Lila as I address the others, "Keep her in this room until my Gamma brings in
a package that I just sent him for. I want you to use it on the Luna once it's here."
"The Elders! They will be here any moment!" Lila screeches, "Thay want to talk to me personally!"
"Don't worry your little head about them, I will entertain them until
you are able to grace us with your presence." I'm not so sure if my aura will work on her, I know it did when I was Alpha, but I've
got to at least try, "You will not discuss any of this treatment to the Elders. You have been treated; accordingly, that is what you
will tell them. After all, it isn't a lie."
Her glare as her wolf submits to my own Luna aura is comical. I give her a little wink and smile at the others in the room as I
leave to head towards the front of the pack house, so I can greet the Elders.
Here's the chapter to make up for me only putting out one. yesterday. Hope you enjoyed it! =)
