18. Son for a Son

Cain POV

I finally had my mate and my son.

Happy couldn't begin to explain what I felt at this moment.

Then I heard it.

"AHHHHHHH" a scream a little too close to us.

Just as I was thinking what now, Beta Aaron was running up to me holding a phone.

"Your Beta, Nick, he says its urgent"

"Nick! What's going on?" For something that seems to be urgent I could barely hear anything.

Suddenly the line went dead.

That was when I heard another screaming of a female.

I couldn't see who it was but she was crouched over grabbing her chest.

It was Trissa, my Deltas mate.

Something happen to Tony.

I rushed over to her and then the phone started ringing again.

"Hello! NICK! NICK! Where's TONY" I was worried for my best friends, Tony must be in pain and so was his mate and I needed to know he was ok.

"You killed my son, bring me your son and I shall let your pack live" a raspy voice on the other end didn't give me a chance to respond but I knew they were at Blood Hunter.

The line once again went dead.

"What?" My little mate asked as she had a worried look on her face.

"Alpha — may I discuss a few things with you in your office?" I asked, then I looked to my mate and she looked at our son.

"I'm coming too" as she tried to head for the house.

"NO! I need you here. Check how many of our pack members are here and you can help Gamma Noah to check if their mates are still alive."

There really was no controlling her.

She just glared at me, handing her son off to Nessi my Gammas mate.

Her best friend was in tears and I could tell she knew why Tony's mate was clutching her chest.

My mate on the other hand was still glaring at me, arms crossed and her lips pressed thin.

She looked adorable but I knew this was not a time to linger.

"Very well, but once you have all the information I need you to stay here"

I thought having her here would keep her safe, but I needed her to protect our son.

I had no idea who I was dealing with and I needed to find out fast.

In Alpha Kelian's office he had his Beta Aaron and Delta Mitch and Gamma James with him of Blood Rain, and from Blood Hunter I had Deltas mate Trissa, Gamma Noah, and his mate Nessi and my mate as well.

"You feel it wise to have the women in here?" Alpha Kelian questioned.

"Yes, I need them. They know the inner workings of my pack and the situation directly affects them."

Yes I needed them and I didn't want to have to put their lives in danger but I needed them to understand that this isn't a report of the daily lives of their mates, but real.

I needed their council and I'm already sure their mates discussed everything with them any way.

"Very well' was all Kelian said to me.

So now it was time to start.

"The call I got, was some stranger. He's at Blood Hunter pack now. Torturing my pack members until I offer up Micheal to him. As revenge payment for killing his son-Jason."

"NO!!!" Alpha Kelian, Beta Aaron, my Gammas Noah and Nessi, and my mate all yelled at once.

"Forgive me Alpha Cain but if you offer up my grand child as payment to who ever this is I will personally make sure you do not leave this office alive" Alpha Kelian growled.

"And we will help" Beta Aaron and Nessi said standing at his side.

"You dare threaten me and think little of me to offer up my heir and only son!" I was yelling at them.

I don't know how long we were yelling but I felt tingles on my arm and I started to calm down.

"Mate!" I heard her say to me.

We all got quiet.

"I need you to do me a favor, I need you all to do me a favor" we were all looking at her now.

"Anything my love" I said as I inhaled her scent making sure I stayed calm.

"I need you to tell the man on the phone that it was me who killed his son and I will offer myself up for him to kill instead of our son"

She looked into my eyes.

Full of unshed tears.

"Never!"

I didn't mean to growl at her but I did.

"Then I'm sorry to have to do this!" Was the last thing she said and my world went black.

Unknown POV

Year after year I got updates on that arrogant ba***rd.

'Why must he be so careless of his actions, patience always pays off if you wait long enough' I said to my wolf.

'He is still but a child wanting attention, I told you we must put an end to him.'

'Theres a thought' I chuckled.

It's not that I didn't care for my son but with everything going on inside the pack I infiltrated years ago I was not going to let him mess this up for us.

But after hearing from one of the pack members that today he was killed at the hands of the Blood Hunter pack.

I wanted revenge.

He was the main reason I was doing this for and whether he knew it or not I loved him.

I went into a rage.

I will bring an end to this pack life once and for all.

I am going to bring them all down.

First starting with Blood Hunter.

"We are coming for you Alpha Cain just you wait " I was seething.

I needed to cover my tracks. I had a mate now and if I should bring suspicion back to me my plan will fall apart.

"Running out be back later" I wrote on a note pad for my stupid mate.

I hated how clingy they were and everyday had to try not to kill them.

'It's a good thing our mate is stupid to believe everything we tell them' my wolf laughed.

'Careful the reason a plan falls apart is because people get comfortable and sloppy, we must never assume everything will go to plan' I warned.

It took me 3 days to get to Blood Hunter pack taking my time and reserving my strength.

'We must be prepared for anything' I cautioned my wolf again.

When I arrived it seems as a battle had just occurred.

There were bodies laying under tarps, tents, and umbrellas.

Some houses were on fire.

People ushering out dead bodies to a pit far from what I assume was the pack house.

Then I saw more people being locked up in cages by the northern tree line.

I walked through the mess of people, I wondered how far I would get before I was noticed.

"WHO ARE YOU!" Someone began to shout.

I guess not long enough.

Now for some acting.

"I heard Alpha Jason was killed, I had to come see for myself"

'Yes he was killed almost 5 days ago" one man smiled.

"How?" I was trying not to let them see my anger.

"Our Alpha and Luna put a stop to him" he stood taller as if proud.

Well if the Alpha has indeed found his luna then this is news for my boss. I need to find out more.

"You have a Luna, Goddess be praised. Congratulations to the Alpha. May I see him there is something I must ask of him"

"Alpha Cain and Luna are not here. They went to bring the rest of our pack members home"

Great! I thought.

There is no way I can stall for days.

"But I can bring you to Beta Nick he's the one in charge until Alpha gets home"

"That would be alright" I smiled to the guard.

They were leading me to the pack house where there were lots of pups running around, some eating others playing and some sleeping.

"Beta we have someone here that needs to talk to you." One guard asked.

"I'll help the best I can. What can help you with?" The beta looked at me.

He seemed torn between helping or putting me with the prisoners.

There was laughing and screams coming fro the toddlers in the other room.

'Brats! I can't think of anything worse then babysitting these unruly pups' I said to my wolf.

'If we are careful we can snuff a few while we're here' I could feel my wolf grinning.

"Can we talk somewhere a little less noisy" I motioned to the kids.

"Yes. Yes of course"

He led me to a small nook down a little corridor.

'Perfect' I mumbled to myself.

With all the commotion he didn't even ask for additional guards, but still I didn't lower my guard.

I managed to get my hands around his neck long enough to subdue him.

Thankfully he was so weakened from his time as a prisoner in his own territory, or else this wouldn't be possible.

Finally!

Now to get his somewhere no one will look for the time being.

"Hey what are you doing!" Someone yelled at me once again.

D**n it.. can't I catch a break for once.

"He just passed out, I don't really know what happened " I tried to sound worried.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha. I'm just messing with you." I turned to see the face of a familiar friend.

"I was wondering if you would get my message in time" I was relieved.

"Oh I got it awhile ago, I just wanted to see what your next move was of moving a body" they chuckled.

"Well if you don't start helping then there are going to be two bodies that I will have two move" I snapped back.

"Easy there. That's no way to speak to your better" they barked back.

"Actually I need you to call Blood Rain and deliver a message for me" with a wicked grin I headed for the phone on a nearby table.

"I need you to say exactly what I tell you to say" they smiled and I knew they were on board.

"What are you going to do?" They quipped back.

"I'm going to make sure Alpha Cain listens and returns with what I want. I need a very important wolf" I said over my shoulder leaving the corridor.
