placed large bowls on the table as Angel picked up a huge pot, brimming with beef stew. Marie put a large ladle in the stewpot, smiling nervously at all of them. “Help yourselves, I’ll get you some bread and would you like a beer to go with it?”
Cam took his place at the opposite end of the table to Fearghas, waiting ‘til his Wolves were all eating before taking his own. “This smells delicious, thank you and yes, I think we deserve a beer.”
As soon as he spoke Angel got them their drinks then sat down next to her mate. Fergie finished whatever he was doing and closed the laptop. An air of expectancy all around as they ate.
Cam couldn’t stand it, “Okay,” he started while still trying to eat. “Alpha, you have to sit and listen, to all of what we have to say. Okay?”
Fearghas nodded, his lips set in a tight line as Cam drank down his beer in one go. Wiping his mouth with a napkin he took a deep breath. “Your land has been invaded with Wolves from the Wild Ranch Pack time and again and...”
“How?” Fergie interrupted. “How is that possible without us knowing about it?”
“I did say to listen?” Cam spoke quietly but his tone was pure Alpha and Fergie’s eyes flitted down as he said a quick “sorry.”
Cam inclined his head to the side, watching his uncle’s reaction and saw lines appear at the side of his eyes and mouth as his son showed submission to Cam.
“Right, I’ll continue.” Cam’s eyes stayed locked on his uncle’s. “They’ve been using magic to mask their scent and hide their presence. I know you don’t like magic, hate it in fact. However, if we are to stand a chance against them then we need to use it to counteract theirs. If we do not do this then we are, what we say in the business world, fucked.”
Fergie swore as the Alpha’s face turned red and Cam worried he was about to blow. However, Fearghas nodded at him to carry on. “We tracked them, and yes I did use a little spell my mother taught me to be able to do this. At the spot that Fergie was attacked it was obvious to me what happened and he was attacked. No doubt about it.”
Marie gasped, Angel whimpered and Fearghas cursed. Cam ignored them and went on, “So, we tracked those responsible all the way back to the Wild Ranch camp. There’s no doubt it’s them that’s behind everything and we need to figure out how to take them down. Or more importantly, Philippe Dupont.”
Fearghas spoke for the first time since they’d sat down. “How do you propose we do that?”
Cam stared hard at his uncle. “I’m glad you said we, because this Alpha is, apparently, worse than we thought. I came across his Beta in the forest...”
Fergie’s head shot up, “What? Shit! They’ll know we’ve been on their land!”
“Hold on, let me finish. I said I came across him but he’s no longer in a position to tell anyone anything. We had a slight difference of opinion. He thought it was okay to hunt down a She-Wolf and rape her. I thought otherwise. We fought and afterwards Jinx and I got rid of his body, burning it to mask the scent of the female. She is absolutely terrified. I’ve never seen anyone so scared.”
“Who was she?” Angel asked, fear on her face.
“Chastity.” Cam waited and saw Angel’s eyes widen, her face losing all color.
“No! Oh my god, that’s the Alpha’s sister!”
“Yes,” Cam said, “she is and she’s so goddamn scared her body was shaking from head to foot. She won’t say anything ‘cause she’s under the impression Dupont would hold her responsible and ‘punish’ her. Whatever the hell that means.”
Cam drank some more of his beer, his eyes still on Fearghas, seeing the tension in the Alpha. He was trying to hide it but Cam could see it clearly. “Fearghas, we need to bring a Witch in on this. I know you don’t approve of Witchcraft but we’ve got to fight fire with fire and we’ll be blind if we don’t.”
A heavy silence hung around them as Fearghas sat
