Alpha Moretti Chapter 38

“So what you’re saying is, Elizabeth has an inside job?” Kyle leans forward, looking between me and Ansaldo.

We are having a meeting with my pack, Ansaldo, and our beta and gamma. And little Nico was here with Malik, which is understandable. Malik has been refusing to leave Nico alone lately.

“That’s exactly what we’re saying. The signs are literally right in front of us. She can’t get past the border without high alert. Elizabeth just so happens to know when we have our guard down the most, and where the easiest access points are. She knew when Liam and I completed our mating process, and sent a declaration of war when neither of us has really been outside. However, we did tell both of our packs.” Ansaldo points out, clear as day.

I nod, I hand resting over my mouth, as I subtly looked around.

Arina and my dad were exchanging the notes Ansaldo had written for the alphas, and Cameron and my mom going over the notes I had given them.

Kay, Hannah, and our gamma Enzo were intently listening, and Malik with Kyle and Brendon. My eyes trailed over Easton, and I narrowed my eyes.

He was listening, and making body movements that just didn’t seem like him. Nodding harder than other people, breathing is irregular…

I shake my head, snapping out of it.

I’m just paranoid. I don’t like Easton, never have and never will, so I’m just automatically targeting him. He has no real proof of being an inside job for Elizabeth.

Besides, how would he know her anyways? It doesn’t add up the more I think of it.

No one in the room is the spy.

“So do we have a plan?” Cameron asks.

“We find where her coven is at, find the spy. We will go from there.” Ansaldo nods, and begins to dismiss the meeting, before someone ran in and handed him a piece of paper.

It looks like the last paper Elizabeth sent us.

My mate rips open the letter, and he visibly becomes more infuriated the more he reads.

“Where did you get this?” His eyes go black, and he growls at the pack warrior. I stand up from my seat and go and quickly grab his arm, to calm down his wolf before he can murder this poor dude who did nothing wrong besides deliver a note.

Ansaldos eyes relax at a black, but they don’t switch back to the sea green blue color. He takes his arm I have a hold of, and wraps it around me and pulls me close to him instead. I now wrap both of my arms around his side, and look at the warrior.

“It was outside, at the gates. No one gave it to me.” The wolf told us, trying to maintain a calm and composed posture.

Before Ansaldo can speak again, I decide to take it from here. “Thank you, you may go.” I dismiss him. He nods respectfully at me, and quickly leaves the room before his alpha can protest.

I take the paper from him and began to read it out loud.

Moretti,

Did you enjoy my little raid? I sure did.

Best part about it all was leaving some of your weakest warriors dead. Think of it as a favor. Be ready for me to take a few more, including your little Luna.

-E

I was visibly shaking, Malik snatching the paper from me. He reads it, twice, maybe three times over.

I give him a sympathetic glance, because it confirmed Luca was gone for good. He passes on the letter to Kyle, before handing me Nico, and storming out of the room.

“Where are you going?” I ask.

“To go for a run.” Malik’s voice sounds different. It’s vertigo.

“How long?” Ansaldo questions.

“For fucks sake, I don’t know. Just don’t wait up for me.” And with that, Malik’s gone.

I frown. I miss seeing him all happy and cheerful. I miss my best friend Luca. I just miss what this pack was like before Elizabeth got us into this mess.

Ansaldo huffs, and starts pacing around the room, deep in thought, as the letter was passed around from person to person. Some people pulling out their phones, others eyes changing color as their wolf didn’t like what was going on, small things like that.

“Enzo, I want you to double the security shifts. I’ll provide some of the senior trainee wolves if I have too.” My mate chimes in, eventually.

“But sir, they aren’t ready for that yet.” Enzo stands up, clearly distressed.

“I don’t care if they are or aren’t ready, it’s a matter if they have to be ready, now. You’ll be using the fifteen through new seventeen year olds.”

My eyes widen. I didn’t even start basic border patrols until I was well into my year of being seventeen, almost eighteen.

“Sal, are you sure about this?” I bounce a sleeping Nico in my arms.

He just nods.

“All training will go on longer, and harder. I can’t afford to let anyone lose their life to this bitch. I’ve had enough of it already.” Ansaldo snarls

I keep my mouth shut at that response. He was very right. We haven’t even had multiple attacks, and everyone was already fed up with this.

“Liam, you’re in charge of creating safer spaces for more elders, mothers and pups in this pack. Expand the current one if we have too, I don’t care.”

I nod. I’m glad I at least have a job.

“And when you aren’t working with what I assign to you, you’ll be working with me to figure out where the hell this coward is hiding. Am I understood?” He looks around at everyone in the room, and they all nod.

My eyes travel to Hannah, and she shoots a worried glance at Kay, but Kay doesn’t notice.

Ansaldo dismisses us after instructing us to get started right away.

Everyone gets up, packing what they had written down, expect Hannah hesitates.

I tilt my head, slowly watching her.

Now, I liked Hannah. We haven’t talked all that much, but I think it’s a good idea to keep an eye on her.

Hannah turns her head, and locks eyes with me. She nervously, or what I think is nervously, swallows and quickly follows after Kaydence.

Alright, so, we may have a possibility after all.

(YOU GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND I LOVE YOU!!

Also, I need your opinion on a few things.

I do have a third story right now, but only the title and cover. I’m torn between ideas at the moment, so I’m just going to vaguely ask you what you would like to read more.

A) a third story to this series about a character in here, who you guys don’t like but also don’t really dislike?

Ooorrrr

B) a completely new storyline with new characters? It’ll still be a Werewolf story though 🙂 I love writing these for you lol

Also, literally you guys made the views on this story go up 10k in less than 24 hours. WHAT THE HELL? Y’all are insane and I love it 😂

Anyways, I thought a double update for you guys was much needed today after all that’s happening.

See you in the next one 😉 )
