Chapter 101

Xantara –

There was no doubt that this would anger Xander. Who wouldn't be angry at the thought of their mate being dangled on a line like bait for a shark? We are banking on the person who had harmed Clair maybe worried about Clair having seen him or her and knowing their identity.

As I raised my hand to speak, I looked at my father who appeared sad as we decided what to do next. My plans for the day were drafted and I began working on them as soon as he nodded.

The only thing that I can say about Clair is that while I know none of us would want to put her in harm’s way, especially since she has no memory of the warrior she used to be. In spite of this, there are wolves that are being killed every single day due to the fact that we have moles in our Royal pack. Fortunately, our lieutenant was able to save the females of the royal pack that had been kidnapped, but all over the magic kingdom females are being kidnapped that we have not yet been able to locate. In most cases, we catch a rogue who is not aware of why they are kidnapping women, they only know that the Rogue King requested them to kidnap lots of women. To make matters even worse, the rogue was given a capsule which could be used to kill themselves if they got caught, so that no information would be divulged."

King

"Xantara, child, what suggestions do you have for me? My daughter, Clair, is pregnant with my grandchildren. In my opinion, this is not worth the risk to my future heirs, as I don't think it is worth the risk. In the event that my son loses his mate, he will go insane and then die as a result. It is clear to me that there must be another way to accomplish this.”

Xantara –

So far, we haven't been doing well. It was tough to find all the she-wolves from when they had been kidnapped, including Clair who nearly died due to a traitor we do not know. It was thanks to Clair many months ago that she updated the Royal pack with all the modern security technology she could. However, we still couldn't protect any pack from this. Most of the security hard drives were stolen and the ones that weren't were destroyed. One foul up after another has plagued us. Our team needs a competitive edge. The advantage of Claire is that so many lives could be saved that would otherwise be lost!

The double wooden doors that lead into our meeting room open, and I hear them slam shut. With a shake of my head, I plug my nose with my fingers. “Really, Xander?” I asked. Have you been sprayed by a skunk and then thought to share your experience with the rest of us after getting sprayed? ”””

Xander –

It was necessary for me to leave because my wolf needed to be tamed in order for him not to try to tear everyone and everything to shreds! While I love you dear sister, I cannot bear to let you use my mate as bait to lure the mole into the holes of my house. 1. Her mental state is not what it used to be, and she is probably not able to defend herself. 2. She is pregnant with multiple pups at the moment. Who knows how many?”

Xantara ---

“Oh my goodness! Xander! There will be no discussion of this matter until you bathe in massive quantities of tomato sauce.” After crossing my arms and turning away, I give the “I MEAN NOW!” effect as I turn away.

King ---

I want to make it clear that as proud as I am that you are my son, nudity generally does not mean anything to us in our culture. I am going to have to agree with your sister, we can reconvene in a couple of hours once you get cleaned up. That's right Xander, I mean right now! ”””

Xander –

Xantara is heard in the distance giving instructions to the Omegas to wipe all the places I walk, touch or walk over. It seems that there is a strong chlorophyll scent emanating from all the places around me at the moment. I am sure if my sister had her way she would be soaking me in a pool full of bleach.

In my room, as soon as I enter, I see Clair lying on the floor with her mother sitting on the edge of the bed beside her, telling her all about her childhood and where she came from. As I watch them sniff and look at each other, I see that they are scrunching their noses as they see or smell my presence.

As there is nothing I can do about the skunk smell, I just walk into the tub and shake my head. While trying to cope with skunk odor, I think of mind-linking omegas to make tomato soup. While Clair appeared to be warming up to her mother, her face still showed a terrifying amount of fear when she looked at me.

Several male Omega’s came up to scrub me with the many types of skunk smell removal they could come up with. They also brought a potion from the pack witch. It was the potion that finally worked for me. Once I was not wearing perfume ala Skunk anymore, I got out of the tub and sent the Omega’s away. I walked out into my closet and grabbed some sweat pants and a muscle shirt.

I heard a low growl behind me and I became confused. Walking out of my closet, I looked over at Clair praying she had come back to me.

Clair –

“Sorry, the voice in my head didn’t like you being naked in front of my mother. I am so sorry.”

Xander –

I could see my mother in law roll her eyes and try not to laugh. Responding to Clair, “Sweetheart it is okay and it is normal for your wolf to be angry. I am surprised she didn’t take over you to rid herself of any threats.”

Going through the dresser drawer, I find a black tee-shirt and bring it over my head. It fits nicely over my body, showing off my muscular physique. I see Clair sneaking glances at me, aha I caught her, she does find me attractive. I can’t help but smirk and wink at her. Clair then hides her face in her mothers arms.

I make a general question for both My mother in law and Clair. Looking at my mother in law as I ask. “So how are you beautiful ladies faring today?”

Clair’s mother laughs, “We are faring fine, however that rat over there has seen better days.”

Turning to look at the rat, my mouth drops down, there is a fork thrown straight through it’s eyes causing them to protrude and hang out. This was a well targeted aim, I felt proud of my mate if she is the one that did this.

I looked over at my mate and my mother in law, my mate begins to explain. “The rat scared me, so I threw my fork at it.”

I smile, “Did you have to aim?”

Clair replied by shaking her head no she did not have to aim.

I couldn’t begin to tell you, how her killing that rat the way she did brought my mood back up to being happy and hopeful. This was my dangerous Clair, she is still in there and fighting her way back to me.

“Well good job, I will be back after a meeting I have with the King and my sister.”

I hear Clair whisper while I am leaving. “I am not a dog.” Again I smile at her returning spunk.
