Chapter 86

20 The Past and Present

Grant POV

Franklin and that witch walk back to where I’m waiting for them. “What the hell was that? You didn’t even kill one of them.” “I’m sure you know as an Alpha we need to learn all we can about the enemy we face. That was the whole reason we took the weakest collective members. There is no loss from them being killed.” “So what did you learn?” “It seems the new Alpha has taken his place in the pack. Which means that b**ch Clara has become a Luna.” I can feel the anger at the thought of that mutt that isn’t a pure wolf being anyone’s Luna. “Lydia has set things in motion, but it will take time. You need to prepare your pack for war because the Nightfire pack isn’t weak. It might be a good idea to see if you can align your pack with others that will fight against the Nightfire.” I nod and we return to the road that leads to the human city. I parked my car away from the pack as I’m sure they have been given orders if I or any of my pack members are seen. I get into my SUV and drive back to my pack. Thiago has yet to speak to me since our last conversation after Evelyn left.

As I reach my office I catch a scent I haven’t smelt in a very long time. I push open the door and Octavius stands by the window that looks out on my pack. Thiago growls and he turns with a smirk on his face. “No need to growl, wolf, I mean you no harm, yet.” “What the hell do you think you’re doing in my pack without permission?” “I showed you my power once, Grant. Don’t make me do it again.” “What do you want, Ocatvius?” “I think you are well aware of why I am here. Had you let me deal with the half breeds, none of your troubles would be happening right now.” How the f**k could he know about everything that has happened? “Now what is your plan to deal with the mess you have made?” “I’m dealing with things and I don’t need any help from you.” “That’s good, I’m not here to offer you help. Honestly, I would like nothing more than to wipe out all of your kind. Now I’ll ask you one last time, what is your plan?” I know I am at a disadvantage, with his powers, but I hope one day I can rip this ba**ards head off.

that you have grossly underestimated your enemy. Do you know that the Nightfire pack isn’t just made up of wolves?” I look at him confused. It’s a wolf pack, what the hell does he mean? “That pack contains a number of powerful witches and half-breeds. They are also supported

can wipe all those memories away.” He sticks out his hand and I reluctantly take it. “I will be in touch” he says and then he is gone. Why do I feel like I have just made a deal with the devil? “As long as we

Calliope POV

love Sarah, Abigale, and Carter like they are my family. Oliver has become my best friend. We are on patrol and Aurora is enjoying spending time with Oliver’s wolf, Piper. They act like siblings, but right now we are on alert. They cannot play when we are on duty. We reach the furthest point of the territory and Aurora scents something in the air. It isn’t the smell of other rogues, so we know it isn’t Franklin again. The scent is familiar. A wolf steps off behind the trees and Piper steps in front of me. I know this wolf and I

pack’s Beta.” I see panic on Oliver’s face. “I would never do anything to harm Jasmine or Calliope. Had I known what the Alpha was doing I would have helped them escape.” “How did you find us?” “Honestly, I had given up until I went to neutral territory and heard a rogue talking about a red wolf in this collective. I figured what are the chances of another red wolf being so close to our pack. You are the only one I have ever seen in my life.” “That ba**ard Franklin has been running his mouth apparently.” Oliver growls again and Bradford smiles. “I’m glad you have found a safe place, Calliope, but make no mistake he has no

think about it. I did not say that to make you feel guilty. I just want to make sure you know so you can be prepared. You are destined for great things and I hope someday I get to see you again.”

just staring at me. “Come on, we need to go speak with Carter.” “You’re not leaving Calliope. I won’t allow it”, Oliver says, and I laugh. I love how close we have become. “I never said I was leaving but I need to find a way to keep the collective safe.” We reach the office and I knock. I don’t want what happened last time to happen again. “Come in”, Carter says, and we walk inside. I tell him everything Bradford just told me. I expect him to be upset but he seems calm. “Calliope, this is your home now. I will call the Nightfire pack. The Beta female and Gamma are both powerful witches. I’m sure they would be willing to help
