C10 Chapter 9

Theo/Gage's POV

We eventually pulled up to the pack house of The Dawn Pack. Mother told me a little bit about them, they're the third largest in the country and fifth largest in the world. They lost their Betas to a mysterious incident that no one has solved yet.

The current Alpha still has not given the position to his son. Probably a careless teenager, thats the only other possibility we could think of.

"Well, this is it." Father says, shutting the car off and looking at the building. We all climb out of the car and walk up to the front where we see, whats presumably, the current and soon-to-be Alphas.

"Such an honour to meet you My Queen." The older looking man greets mother politely then turns to father, shaking his hand and finally turns to us. "And you are?" He asks us, looking us up and down critically. "This is our son, Theo." Mother says holding back a glare at his slight hostility towards us.

"Oh, my apologies. This is my son Beau, I'm sure you two will get along just fine." He says and said son steps forward and shakes my hand. "Nice to meet you Theo."

"Nice to meet you too." We reply and pull our hand away from him. "I don't like these two." I say to Gage and he agrees by nodding internally.

"Alright so Beau will show you three to your rooms and my brother will show your guards where they shall sleep. My Queen, shall we talk in, say an hour or so?"

"Alright and please call me Skylar." With that said Beau leads us to our rooms a floor underneath theirs. We step inside the room once Beau steps out the way. "Wow, this is nice." We say as we take in the huge room.

"Does anyone live in this room?" We ask him, not wanting to take someone else's room since it looks like someone lived in here. "Oh...um, no not anymore." He says and walks out immediately.

"Well that was odd?" Gage says as we walk to our bed and place our bag on the bed. "Agreed."

After putting our clothes away we walk downstairs and find the kitchen. "You hungry?" We hear someone say from behind us. We turn around to see a beautiful woman standing there holding a tray of meds. "Slightly, yes sorry." We apologize to her but she waves us off and walks to the fridge.

"Help yourself. I'd say that dinner would be ready soon but I'm not sure where Issabella is? Maybe she's still at school." She says as we take out some bread and ham. We quickly make a sandwich and take a bite of it.

"Mother? What are you doing out of bed?" Beau says coming into the kitchen worriedly and leading the woman to the chair. "Oh Beau I'm fine, I just came down for a little walk. I'm not that sick my boy." She says smiling which turns into a fit of coughs.

"Where's Issabella Sweety?" She asks him as he puts the tray of medicine on the kitchen counter. He immediately stiffens and tries to discreetly look at us. We see you.

"Not sure. She's probably at school, you know Izzy." He chuckles nervously. He hands her, her tray again and ushers her up the stairs.

"Something's up with him and this pack. They're hiding something Gage." I say to him as we finish up our sandwhich. "Theo? Come here quick please." We hear mother call us from upstairs. "Coming!" We yell and put our plate in the basin.

We rush up the stairs and walk to our parents' room. "Yeah mom?" We ask as we enter and see it's just her. "Where's dad?"

"Oh he's doing a perimeter run with Alpha Warrick. So what do you think of this place?" She asks us as we sit down on the bed next to her. "Honestly? I think they're hiding something. I don't know what exactly but somethings up with this pack." We says sharing our theory to her.

"I agree with you, I get that feeling as well but we can't be too sure when we don't have solid evidence. Well I must go now, time for a meeting with that Alpha." She says standing up and kissing our head.

We stand up and walk down tha stairs and out the house. We see people running around, laughing, smiling, they all look so happy.

As we continue to walk we smell something familiar in the woods. We growl as we know who it is. We run into the woods until we come across a river near by. We see both of them, standing by the water smirking at us smugly.

"Such a naughty boy for trying to rat us out." She mocks us and steps forward. "I will find a way to tell them. I don't care if they hate me, at least I'll die knowing they're safe." We growl at her as she pushes us down to the ground.

"Fight it Gage! You need to fight the spell!" I yell out to him hoping he could overcome the spell, it doesn't work. "Trust me mutt, you won't be able to tell them. We'll make sure of it. Now go and pretend to be a good little boy."

We stand up and walk away, walking like an emotionless zombie. "I hate this! I hate that they have such control over us, whenever they want!" Gage yells in our head as we get control back and begin to walk normally towards the pack house again.

As we near the house we see a deserted looking building a distance away from us. We begin to approach it but stop when we see Beau come out of it, wiping his hands with a dirty rag. We take a big sniff and smell blood. Werewolf blood.

"Theo? That smell, it's familiar." Gage says as we try to get a stronger scent to be sure. "I could be wrong, but it's like we've smelt it before."

"Don't go overreacting now Gage. We probably remember that smell from walking past a person or something." I say to him as we turn away from the building and walk back to the house.

"Theo! Come here!" We hear dad yell as we approach the back yard of the house. We see, from what we're guessing, the entire pack standing there as mom and dad stand with the Alphas in the front on a stage.

We walk up the steps and stand next to Beau as mom begins to greet the pack. "Hello members of The Dawn Pack. It's so lovely to be here and meet new faces and learn more about this pack. This meeting will be quick, I would just like to do a role call if you don't mind. Alright Emery Abert..."

And she continued on until the last pack member was called. We noticed she didn't call that girl, Issabella. Now we definitely know somethings up. And we intend to find out.
