Chapter 102

Xander ---

After letting my wolf run a bit, I am starving as I walk to the kitchen. I had the Omegas make all kinds of food so we could have it in the conference room. We are wolves, and because of our high energy levels, we need to eat often in order to stay energized. The staff also put in large glasses of ice and several pitchers of ice water in addition to the ice. Due to all the talking and possibly yelling I was going to do, as a result of the absurd idea of using my mate as bait, I knew I would need lots of water for the entire day. It might be a good idea to have them bring throwing knives, that might help relieve some tension, I laughed to myself inwardly.

Unlike my father who has the chair facing the door, I get the chair opposite to the one he has with my back to the door. My mother sits on my father's left side, while my sister sits next to me on my left side of the chair. She was targeted by my low growl. Xantara was not afraid of me or my wolf, she just laughed at us. As everyone else took their seats around the table, they chose their favorite spots.

During the course of the conversation, my father stood up and addressed everyone in the room before turning to look at my sister at the end of the conversation.

“I can assure you, Xantara, that we are not going to intentionally use Clair as bait. Despite this, Xander the pack knows that Clair is in good health and that she is healing well. There is no doubt that she will end up being a target whether we plan for her to be one or not. As much as we will take extra security precautions to keep Clair safe, there is no other way to look at it than that, despite the fact that we are not intentionally using her as bait, she is still bait because she is alive and a threat to the mole. There is no other way to look at it than that.”

Xander –

I didn’t like it, but my father spoke with great logic. We didn’t have to use her as bait, just by her simple existing she was already bait. I put my head into my hands, as I sighed, I was all set to put them all in their place. But it was my father who put me in mine.

I have tried so hard to find the mole. The security cameras in the offices Clair managed were destroyed, and any footage that could have been helpful had been destroyed. Wiring and cameras were being destroyed as soon as we fixed one, another was destroyed, and we still can't keep up. Given that, we can't stop the threat from reaching Clair. I looked at my sister.

The question is, "So what do we do now?". Could you please let me know what your suggestions are? ”””

Xantara ---

In the end, we just live our lives as we are, but with Clair heavily guarded. Having all the tension surrounding the pack, I figured it would be good idea to throw a party, as the mole would be deceived into thinking he or she has the perfect cover. I think we women would have a baby shower with a gender reveal during the shower. As well as your mates, you are welcome to come too, especially if you wish to see how your different pups are gendered."

As Xander laughed, he said, “Well, we don’t need a gender reveal for that, right?" As a man of such virility as I am, I am only capable of creating boys." I chuckled right in Xander's face. I put my hand over his mouth and laughed, "Oh please, really? Having said that, you will only conceive girls."

Xander ---

As I stand up, it comes time for me to organize our plans. Clair is my mate and I will be in charge.

"I would like to thank you, sister Xantara, for dedicating time to helping us here while you are a Luna in your pack. This way, you can return to your awaiting mate. There will be two-weeks for you to complete the Baby shower / Boy reveal."

Coughing, I chuckle into my hands. "Maybe you should ask your friends and mother to help you." Looking over at my mother, she looked pleased. My eyes land on Xantara, who is scowling at me. Due to her mother's OCD about party planning, Xantara avoids having her help with things. The glare from Xantara made me grin back. It makes me laugh inside myself, hah hah.

Xantara –

Sometimes my brother can be such an ass-hat. He thinks he is nicely sending me home, trying to come off as he is helping me. When in reality he is sending me home as not to annoy him.

“Xander!” I am cross as I speak. “You know your reasoning behind sending me home is not to help me and my pack. It is purely because you feel I am annoying. Tell me I am wrong and convince me. Otherwise I love my sister in law dearly and demand to help!”

What Alpha males forget to remember, that they are dealing with Alpha females as sisters, daughters, and mates. We are not like regular she-wolves that are more malleable and easy to control. Ask me but never ever order me to do something, even if I was planning on doing it anyway. I will revolt every time I am ordered. This is why my sister in law Clair and I got along so well. Neither one of us would or could take orders blindly from any male wolf.

Xantara –

“I have the following plans for you, my twin, and they are as follows. My mate Colt, whom you were so concerned I would not be able to reach, is coming here and his beta will be taking over our pack for about four to six weeks while he is here. By doing so, he will be able to spend time with his sister as she is his twin sister. It would also be nice if he could check in on Akira as well. As a result of this, you will be able to spend some time alone with your mate, rebuilding that bond once again, and helping her heal at the same time. If you look at it as another new beginning, then maybe you should bring her flowers, ask her out on dates, and keep her safe throughout the day by being around her 24/7. In the meantime, my mate Cole and I will do the investigation while you keep Clair safe. There is a new plan in place, bossy! """"" With a determined look on my face, I snapped my head in his direction..

Xander ---

She may be my sister, but I will soon be King and will expect respect from her. I cannot believe she spoke to me in such a manner! Right now, we are practically nose-to-nose, and you can see our wolves coming forward as we smoke from our ears. My eyes can only see Xantara right now. It is my wolf's goal to put Xantara and her wolf in their place as to learn how to speak in front of their future king by confronting them.

King Reynolds ---

To prevent them from trying to destroy the castle in their anger, I tell my personal guards to grab the inject-able knock out drugs. I tell them to put my children to sleep before they both destroy the castle in their anger. It is possible for royal wolves to be too proud and they will fight to the death if they feel that they have been disrespected. I am confident that both of my children will be more level headed when they wake up tomorrow morning. It is my guards' responsibility to take their unconscious bodies to their rooms and leave them there.

Clair ---

Someone knocks on my door, and my mother invites them in. It was my mother's idea to move me so that Xander could be placed under the blankets on our King Sized bed. The idea of him in my bed still terrified me, so I fled to the other side.

The guard lets my mother know that he will take over now and that he is relieving my mother. My mother turns to me and smiles, kisses me on my forehead and whispers, he loves you more than life itself. Please give Xander your mate a chance. I nodded and smiled. I may not remember this woman, but I love her so much. My mother walks out with the guard not suspecting that he was an assassin come to kill me.

The guard walked back in and I could see his hands are stained with blood. I scream wondering if he had killed my mother, and then I pass out into the dark void once again.
