Chapter 0049
“Are you going somewhere?” she asked instead of answering my question.
I hate it when people answer a question with a question.
“Yeah, I have some business to discuss with The Hope pack’s Alpha. I’m headed there right now.”
I hear her squeal loudly, and I’m forced to pull the handset away from my ear so that I don’t damage my ears.
“Piper, you’re going to make me deaf.” Bringing my phone back to my ears, l’tell her irritably.
“I’m just so excited. You being here is perfect because I have some good news.”
Sitting up right, I perk up at her words. She sounded ecstatic, which piques my curiosity.
“You’re here?”
“Yes, not in the Hope pack, but in another pack on the east side of it. I was planning to come home, but since you’re here, it’ll be easier. Gosh, I’m so excited about you meeting him.”
Deep down, I know who she probably wants me to meet, but I ask anyway.
“Meet who, Piper?”
“My mate!” she shouted and both Knox and I groaned. “You’re going to love him, I swear.”
“I doubt that,” I said with a sneer.
This is my sister, whom we are talking about. Unless he is anything short of a d**n angel, I doubt I’m going to like the f**r.
“You will,” she gushed, completely ignoring my words. “Anyway, I have to go, but let me know when you get to the pack, that way we can arrange dinner so you can meet him.”
Before I could even take a breath or reply, she hung up. It was so like her. When she gets happy or excited about something, she becomes super hyper.
“She found her mate?” Jason asked, but it was more of a statement than a question.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Yeah”
“I honestly feel sorry for the f**r for having you as a brother-in-law,” Micah chimes in, and I just glare at him.
Choosing to remain silent, I check and answer some emails while Micah and Jason talk about what they imagine Hope pack will be like.
I know some might think that it was idiotic to bring both my Beta and G**a with me, but for some reason, there was this nagging feeling that I should bring both of them with me. Micah was supposed. to stay behind, but my gut wouldn’t allow me to make that decision, so here we are.
I left the elders in charge, along with three of my best warriors. We were a bit weakened, but we still had the numbers, and they could put up a fight in case of an attack.
“We are here.” At Jason’s voice, I looked up.
I’d been so lost in thought and answering pending emails that I didn’t notice that the car had stopped.
The door opens, and I step outside, with Micah and Jason following behind me.
It looked like we were in the middle of nowhere, but that’s not what stopped me.
“It looks like a f**g impenetrable fortress,” Micah whispered.
My thoughts exactly. The wall was so f**g high, and it surrounded the place. You couldn’t see a thing inside. I started walking towards the front gate as the others followed behind me.
“State your business,” a man, whom I assume is a warrior, said.
After allowing my senses to guide me, I realized that he was a vampire. This whole pack puzzled me. Sure, my company hires all species, but it’s one thing to work with them and to have a pack with all species included.
“This is my Alpha, and we are here on business. I’m sorry we weren’t able to call ahead, but it was an urgent matter,” Micah explained when I remained silent.
He stares at the rest before his eyes swing back to me. I hated it when people stared at me directly in the air. It was a sign of a challenge.
Releasing a bit of my aura, I made him submit.
“I’ll let the Alpha know,” he bowed his head, and showed me his neck in surrender.
Ignore the gasps of my warriors. My father, Jason, and Micah are the only ones who know that vampires can submit to me.
He opens the gates, and the last thing I see before walking away is him holding a phone to his ear.
“Remember what I said in the car earlier? Well, that feeling has intensified. I want nothing more than to turn back and leave,” Micah murmured.
I had to grit my teeth against the same feeling. It’s like something inside me was begging me to turn back and leave. It was warning me that I wouldn’t like what I found.
Not paying attention to anything except the path ahead of me, I push myself to move. I wanted to get this over and done with.
Finally, we get to what I assume is the pack house. The door opens, and three people step out.
My soul feels like it’s encased in ice when one of the person’s faces registers. I’m rooted to the ground in shock while feeling like my wounds have been ripped open.
“Sadie?” Micah whispered, shocked.
Her hair had grown, and she looked a bit different, but it was definitely her. It was definitely Sadie f** Evans, and she was definitely not dead.
