Chapter 17: Darius in a meeting


    Darius POV


    Before I went down to meet up with my guest I went to my bedroom to have a quick shower. After the


    shower I put on dark blue jeans and a ck tight shirt.


    I heard voices when I got downstairs and by the tone that they used I knew that something must have


    happened. As I opened the door to the dining room everyone got quiet and looked at me.


    The dining room was bright and had white walls with light cream curtains on each side of the big


    windows. In the middle was a long brown table that fitted twenty chairs around it. I looked around and I


    saw James standing on the other side of the room having a conversation with Alpha ke. I walked


    towards them.


    "So what happened this time? As all off you showed up unannounced!" I asked Alpha ke when I


    reached them.


    "Darius, we are sorry that we showed up here unannounced but Isaac has struck again. That’s why we


    needed to have an emergency meeting." Alpha Lucius answered my question as he appeared behind


    me overhearing my question to ke.


    I turned around to face Lucius. "What? Who has he killed now?" I asked him with so much shock in my


    voice but it held anger in it too.


    "It''s Alpha Raymond and his pack. No one made it out alive." Lucius answered me back and sighed, he


    had lost his neighbor and friend.


    What?" Was the only thing I could get out as I thought about how Alpha Raymond was a peaceful man


    and how kind he was.


    I left my spot and walked towards my seat. As I was taking my seat everyone was taking their seat as


    well. I was sitting there taking in the devastating news I found out, which took me a few minutes to


    digest the news. As I digested it I looked around the table to see that everyone was looking at me


    waiting for me to say something.


    Around the table were Alpha Alejandro, Alpha Mathew, Alpha Lucius, and Alpha ke with their beta


    beside them and on the phone, we had 5 other alphas listening in. Alpha Zane, Alpha Corey, Alpha


    Emilio, Alpha Tristan, and Alpha Philip. They wanted to help but unfortunately, they are either too far


    away or they can''t help during the fights because they are no longer as strong as they used to be.


    A long time ago we were 20 strong Alphas spread out around this country but it all started 5 years ago


    when Alpha Isaac went nuts and started to kill everything and everyone that was standing in his way.


    Today we have only 10 packs left.


    We have had war after war during these past 5 years, and we have lost other packs and friends, as we


    also have tried to help each other out we have been losing members. So now it only depends on


    Alejandro and Mathew and ke and myself to end this was before we all die


    "Who found out about Alpha Raymond and his pack?" I asked everyone.


    Alpha Mathew was the one to answer my question. "I sent some of my warriors to his pack when I


    didn''t get a response from him for the past few days. I knew then something had happened when they


    came back they told me they confirmed my suspicions. They told me there were dead bodies lying


    everywhere, some beheaded and some without limbs. They looked for survivors but there were none


    alive”. And that''s when all hell broke loss with everyone talking at once and not listening to each other.


    I leaned back in my chair and started to massage my nose bridge with my thumb and index finger. I


    was trying to figure out a n so we all would survive. We need a good strategy to take down Isaac


    and his pack. We need to take him by surprise as that would only help us. Every time we have tried to


    attack him, he has somehow known about it and has been prepared for us. We need toe up with a


    perfect surprise attack n to take him and his pack down once and for all. But the other alpha''s were


    having a heated conversation and my patience was running out fast as I got up from my chair, I had


    enough.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    "THAT IS Enough!" I screamed at them all.


    "This will not solve anything. We need toe up with a n that will save us all from Isaac." I said to


    them in an irritated voice.


    Alejandro was the first one to speak. "Do you have any suggestions, Darius?"


    As I was about to answer him that we needed to find a solution to this calmly. Cassie''s voice BOOMED


    inside my head.


    ‘DARIUS,e quick! WE need your help! ALEA has hurt herself in her bathroom. There is blood


    everywhere!’


    I did not give Cassie any answer back. I just ran out from the room leaving the other alphas without


    saying anything to them. All that mattered to me was Alea nothing else. I ran up the stairs to the third


    floor and down the hall to her room. The second I entered her room I could smell her blood. I found


    them all in the bathroom and the scene I saw when I entered was Alea on the floor and Celia almost on


    top of her applying pressure to her stomach with a towel. Alea was still wide awake and she found my


    eyes when I entered. I rushed to her side and got down on my knees beside her head.


    "What have you done?" I asked her and I was really worried about her condition.


    "I am so sorry, I couldn''t take it anymore. So much pain." She answers me with a stuttering voice and


    tears running down from her eyes. I ced both my hands on her face whipping away her tears with


    my thumbs.


    "''You can''t do this to yourself just because you can''t handle your trauma. Let me in so I can help you to


    deal with it. I am here with you and I can’t lose you." I said back to her and it could be heard in my


    voice that it was broken by her action


    Alea did not answer me back, I was looking at her hoping she would answer me when I noticed Cassie


    coming in with some medical tools. When did she leave?


    "Keep her still." Celia said to me. I did as she told me to. Then Alea screamed out in pain, I looked


    down and saw Celia punching a needle into the wound to help speed up the process for her to heal,


    she is still too weak to heal fast like others can and hurting herself did not help her recovering state at


    all. She only put in like 6 stitches and then ced a bandage over it. When I looked back on Alea''s


    face she had passed out.


    I looked back at Celia and Cassie and they were now standing up. Celia was whipping her hands off


    and she was about to open her mouth but I knew what she was going to say so I picked Alea up and


    brought her to the bed. When I had put her white duvet over her I turned around to Celia and Cassie


    "She has been sedated and will be out for the next 24 hours. But from her actions today I suggest that


    we don''t leave her alone anymore, someone needs to be with her all the time. She will probably do this


    again to herself if she is alone." Celia said to me then she looked over to her sister.


    "Cassie, do you mind staying here with her? I need to go back to the clinic and Darius needs to go


    back to his meeting. He can send you back as soon as he is done with the meeting." Celia asked her


    sister. Cassie nodded her head. Before leaving I walked over to Alea and kissed her forehead. Then we


    both left the room, leaving Cassie there to watch over Alea.


    Third POV


    Darius went back to his meeting with the other Alpha''s. As he got to the first floor he still had the image


    in his mind of how she wasying on the floor. He still had it on his mind when he entered the room.


    The facial expressions he was faced with when he came back to the other alpha''s was worry and


    confusion.


    "Sorry that I rushed out of the meeting but my mate tried to kill herself." Darius told the other alphas.


    "I didn''t know you had a mate. Congrattions and I sincerely hope that she is okay. I do hope it''s


    nothing serious." Alpha Mathew said.


    "Thanks, she is okay for now. She drove a piece of ss into her stomach." Darius said back.


    "Oh my god. Why did she do that?" All the alphas said together.


    Darius walked back to his seat, wondering why she would do this to herself. She looked fine when he


    left her earlier. As he sat down he noticed that everyone was looking at him and waiting for him to


    answer them. But what could he tell them, he does not that much himself


    "She is suffering from some sort of trauma, she has not told me anything yet. I have almost lost her


    four-time since I saved her from being attacked three weeks ago" Darius told the other Alpha''s and


    they were shocked by what he had told them


    "Who attacked her?" Alpha Alejandro asked.


    "The moonlit pack." Darius said with anger in his voice.


    When Darius said the moonlit pack the room became silent instead


    "Why would the moonlit pack attack her?" Alpha ke asked, breaking the silence in the room.


    "I have no idea." Darius said back sadly.


    "How much do you know about her? has she told you what pack she belongs to or if she knows why


    they attacked her?" Alpha Alejandro asked Darius


    "No, she has yet not opened up, she is too afraid. Every time I try to talk about it or ask about her past


    she hurts herself. She has told me that she does not want to talk about what she has been through, it''s


    painful for her. She has not answered me what pack she belongs to, but she belongs to my pack now


    as she is my mate" Darius answered Alejandro''s question.


    "What is her name?" Alpha Lucius asked


    "She has not told us her full name. She has only told us a nickname and that is Alea. She has not even


    told us herst name." Darius stated looking around the room hoping that someone would recognize


    the name but no one did. But they said they would ask around in their pack to see if anyone did


    recognize it.


    They left the Aleera subject and went on with the real problem to find a solution to stop Isaac and his


    pack but after four hours no one hade up with anything they agreed to think about it on their own


    and then tell everyone at the next meeting. Darius has tried to be a part of this meeting but he has


    been half-minded worrying about his mate two floors above him.


    After the meeting, Darius went up to Aleera’s room and told Cassie that he would stay and keep


    observation over her. He sat in the armchair for the rest of the night and kept a close eye on his


    beloved and broken mate Aleera
