Chapter 206

“Yes but I was honestly left alone for a long as time. There was only like three different times I even saw Darin or Alpha Rip. Believe me, I remember exactly what he said and did to me but thinking back, I don’t know. I’m tell you, something else is going on here. Something much bigger than Darin wanting me.”

Alec stared into my eyes. “What did dad say?”

“He completely ignored me and asked me what the evacuation plan was.”

“F uck.” Alec sat up and put his hands on top of his head.

“What did you find?” I asked.

“We found two tunnels. The only reason we found the second on was because a warrior watched a rat climb out of it. They are about a five miles long. Empties into a random place in the woods outside of our territory. The doors are wooden and covered in vines. No way in hell anyone would know they were there. We probably walked acrossed it multiple times and never known.”

“If you need to go find the third, it’s okay.” I said with no expression.

Alec looked at me, torn. I could feel his stress and indecisiveness. He wanted to stay with me but he needed to check his pack’s safety. “I promised I wouldn’t leave you.”

“You aren’t leaving me. I am telling you to go make sure our pack is safe.”

“Will you be okay?” Alec walked over to me and put his hands on either side of my face. “Don’t lie to me. I know how uneasy you feel right now.”

“Yes I am uneasy and I am still jumpy but we need to make sure our pack is safe. I’ll be okay. I promise.”

“I’ll be quick.” Alec k*ssed my forehead.

“I’ll hold you to that.” I whispered as he went to leave. He turned and smiled at me before walking out.

“I have the list of all those who needs to leave.” Emmy said after Alec left.

“Perfect. How many are there.” I asked. The phone started ringing.

“Kristen.” I answered. noveldrama

“It’s me.” Penny’s voice came through my ear.

“Perfect. Can you help us get this organized?” I asked and put her on speakerphone.

“Of course. I have our safe houses getting set up. Everyone will gather in one place. Both packs will fit just

“Okay, Colt?” I said quickly before he hung up on me.

“What?”

“Be careful. I-I love you.”

“Now isn’t the time for you to start having a heart.” Colt joked at me. He even gave me a little chuckle as he talked. “Love you too, sis.” He said before he hung up.

“Tell me what happened.” Alec said as his hands were clenched on our desk. He was leaning forward and impatiently waiting for me to get off the phone. Alec was failing at keeping his anger in check and Emmy was trying to stay away from him. His alpha aura was affecting her.

“Look.” I stood up and carefully pointed to each pushpin. “These are the locations. They aren’t as directly across the pack as I thought. If you put another pin here, it makes a perfect triangle. Making it the perfect place for another attack spot. The pack house would be directly in the middle. Furthermore, these tunnels would have taken years to dig. Not months and certainly not in the time I first ran into Darin. This has been planned long before I came around. Alpha Rip has been planning this for a long time. I think he is using Darin as a distraction. By making us believe that Darin is wanting to kidnap me, he is keeping your attention focused on that.”

“He did kidnap you.” Alec responded as if he was trying to wrap his head around this.
