Chapter 70


    Jackson did send the guards, but I didn''t care.


    As soon as the doctor said that all the silver was out of my system I was out of that bed and heading


    towards the meeting hall.


    The guards tried to protest but I wouldn''t stop long enough to listen and when we got to the meeting


    hall, I saw the whole ce was in chaos.


    All of the neers were making a lot of noise about Andrew trying to kill me and that he never


    mentioned to them about his ns.


    They believed that he was for real.


    That he wanted help.


    Not that he wanted to kill myself and Jackson.


    I found Jackson over by the side of the room and he was pinching the bridge of his nose, which is what


    he did when he was really frustrated.


    So I made a beeline straight for him and he must have picked up my scent because his head snapped


    up when I got close enough.


    "What are you doing here?" He asked, concerned.


    "I wasn''t going to stay in that hospital any longer than I had to.Especially not after the way you left." I


    say.


    "You know that I can feel your feelings.You were scared of me when you woke up." He says.


    "I can''t control what I dream about.And seeing you just freaked me out for a second until I realized what


    was going on.You can''t me me for that." I say.


    "I know that I can''t me you for that.And I don''t.But it really hurts when your mate is scared of you."


    He says.


    "I know.But that is the first time I have ever seen you like that before.Of course I wasn''t going to ept


    that part of your personality straight away." I say.


    "Yeah.I know.I just thought keeping my distance would be best for now." He says.


    "Best for who. You or me?" I asked, staring him dead in the eye.


    "I''m sorry." He says, looking away.


    Realizing that it was just easier on him.


    "Well, it''s making me feel like shit.Do you know that? You''re just making it worse when you run away


    from it." I yelled.


    "I didn''t know that.I''m sorry." He says.


    So I leaned forward and hugged him and it took a second before I felt his arms wrap around me but I


    loved the feeling of his arms around me.


    "People are staring." He whispered in my ear.


    "I don''t care." I say not letting go of him.


    Not until I was ready to.


    When I did finally let go of him we had to start talking to all of the neers.But we were interrogating


    them individually.


    And they were leaving it up to me and Jackson to do it.As leaders of this pack.


    And their pack.


    There were 235 people that we needed to interrogate and it took the whole rest of the day and that


    whole night to get through everyone.And we found that Andrew was the only one that was the traitor.He


    wanted to make a name for himself and kill Alpha Jackson so that he would be in charge of Alpha


    Samuel''s and Alpha Jackson''s entire pack.


    And that was a huge pack that Jackson owned over the entire country.We weren''t even all in one


    area.We were packs all over the country because he would take over a pack and leave them where


    they are, under his supervision.


    When we got back to the packhouse the cook had food waiting for us in the dining room and I sat at the


    table with Jackson but I pulled aptop out while we were eating.


    "What are you doing?" He asked.


    "Well, it just urred to me today that I have absolutely no idea how many people I am the Luna of." I


    say.


    "You want to find all of my packs?" He asked.


    "Yeah.Are they all inputted on theputer like I did for this pack?" I asked, eyeing him off curiously.


    "No.They''re not.That was the next task I was going to ask you to do.But they are all written in this


    notebook." He says handing me the book.


    So I closed theptop and I started looking through the book.It would name the town that he owned


    and then a number was next to it.


    That was the number of people in that pack.


    "Holy shit.You have 25 000 members in your pack."


    I was shocked.


    "Something like that."


    He says nonchntly.


    "Oh my god.How do you keep track of them all?" I asked.


    "It''s not too hard.I have stationed my own people in those packs and they keep things straight." He


    says.


    "Alright.So, you''ve got packs in California, Oregon, Washington State, Colorado...the list goes on." I


    say looking through the book.


    "Yeah.Their all over the country." He says.


    "Have you ever thought about bringing them together?"I asked.


    "No.Can''t say that I have.I don''t want them to all know about each other.They might get together and


    try to kill me.I was pretty cruel to a few of those packs." He says.


    "Yeah.I can see that." I say.


    And he kicked me under the table so I startedughing.


    "I''m not that horrible." He says.


    "I know.I''m sorry." I say.


    And he leaned over and kissed me.


    As soon as we finished eating we headed upstairs to our room and we had a quick shower and got into


    bed.I didn''t even remember thest time I slept.


    So I rolled on my side and Jackson rolled over and put his arm around me.I melted into his chest that


    was against my back. Taking in the warmth and feeling him breathing, which was really rxing and


    helped put me to sleep.


    I was running through the woods, outside the packhouse.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Something was chasing me and for some reason I couldn''t shift.


    I was in human form, running away.I don''t see what''s chasing me, but it''s big and huge.I finally reach


    the edge of the woods and the packhouse is right in view.I assume that it''s Jackson in his evil


    personality, but then I look up and I see Jackson standing outside the packhouse.


    He sees me trying to catch my breath when something grabs my leg and pulls it out from under me and


    I fall to the ground.


    I scream for Jackson to help me and his eyes go wide when he sees that I''m in trouble.


    Hees running towards me but I am being dragged back into the woods by this unknown creature.


    I turn around to try and see what it is but it''s moving too fast, and I can''t make it out. I don''t know what


    it is that is dragging me away.


    But Jackson is running after me, I hear him shift and he lets out a howl and I can hear his paws on the


    ground before he suddenly lurches over me and tackles the thing that has me in its grip.


    And I am able to scramble away and turn around to see Jackson fighting with another wolf.But I know


    that I''ve seen that wolf before.I just don''t know where I''ve seen it before.I can''t ce it.


    Joba aaa be I''m not sure how long we were asleep when we were woken up by dys.


    But my eyes still felt like sandpaper.So I knew that we hadn''t been asleep that long.


    "Get out mother." Jackson snapped at her.


    "Jackson.I haven''t seen Joseph.Ever since you got him back from Samuel.He hasn''te back.I don''t


    know where he is." dys says.


    And I heard Jackson moan when he heard that.


    "What?" I asked with my eyes still closed.


    "He''s gone.I''ve looked everywhere.I don''t know where he could possibly be." dys says.


    And my eyes snapped open when I heard that.


    "I think I know where he is.Well, what he''s doing." I say.


    "What''s that?" dys asked.


    And I sat up to look at dys and Jackson sat up as well.


    Looking at me curiously, like he had no idea what I was about to say.


    "He''s gone after his mate again." I say.


    "Fucking idiot." Jackson says flopping back down onto the bed.
