Chapter 66: Chapter 66

I watch her leave, driving away from me, only this time I let her go. I just hoped I made the right decision. Prayed she came back to us and keeps her word. “You did the right thing,” Khan tells me, and I sigh.

Somehow I doubted that, some part of me believing past behavior would be also her future behavior. I would forever be chasing her, and she would always be running from me.

“Maybe we walk then, be less work.” Khan offers at my thoughts. Silly wolf, yet I still chuckle at his idiocy.

Walking back inside, I mindlink border patrol to let her pass. Only for Eli to open up the mindlink. “So do I follow her, like at a distance?” he asks. It was honestly tempting, I wanted her back and my sons.

“No, return home once she passes the patrols, come pick me up, we have that meeting in two hours.” I tell him.

“You don’t want me to follow her?” he asks sounding shocked, before I can answer he speaks again.

“Khan, is this you?” he asks, uncertain.

“No,” he answers, and I facepalm myself. Idiot, now he will think it is him.

“Give him back control, Khan! I need my orders.”

“It’s not Khan. Well, that was. Leave her be. Come pick me up. I’ll see you soon.”

“Fine, Khan, but if you fuck me over and Axton skins me, I’ Il bite off and cook your tail.” I shake my head.

“Why my tail?”

“Probably be the only bite I’ll get before I have to tuck tail and run myself,” Eli answers him.

“Yeah, you would wanna run fast. I like my tail. It’s extral bushy.” Khan tells him proudly, in an extra cheerful mood.

“Okay, both of you fools, stop, Khan, stop answering him and Eli. Khan sounds different from me, idiot.”

“Not in the mindlink. You both sound the same to me, only he is louder now I come to think of it.” I blink at what he said. And this beside Alpha Thomas. Great, now to deal with him too. He wasn’t even part of the council anymore.

The moment I step out of the car, I spot him standing by the doors, talking to Thomas. Growling, I move toward the doors just as he spots me and starts stomping over. “Where the fuck is my Luna and son?” he snarls.

“Where you can’t get them,” I answer, ignoring him and continuing toward the building. Derrick, however, seems to be on a warpath because he grabs my arm. I pivot, shoving him back.

“Remember whose city you’re in, Derrick. Remember who you’re dealing with. I am not your wife or daughter. I won’t al- low you to walk all over me.”

“You kidnapped them. I want them back now!” He screams at me, and my hand moves in a blink. Derrick’s head snaps.

backward, and he clutches his nose. Khan having taken over and punched him, Derrick snarls only for Khan to shove for- ward and hit him again, making him stumble when I hear mur- murs. “Ax!” Eli hisses as the media, who were waiting around for information on the meeting, start whipping phones out. Lost in my thoughts, I hadn’t even noticed them, but the last thing we need is them publishing a headline that a tyrant Al- pha is running the city.

“Khan you fool.”

“So what? He deserved it. And not like it isn’t splashed all over the papers about the fight the other night anyway.” he retorts.

Eli waves them off to put their phones away when I grab Derrick and drape my arms across his shoulder and squeeze it. “Smile and fucking wave, asshole,” I pass him a handker- chief, and he snatches it, wiping the blood from his face.

“I want in on the meeting.” he grits out. “Fine, but I can’t afford bad press right now,” I growl. He huffs like he won some battle.

Not that it mattered anyway. He was going to be required to attend anyway; we needed all packs to be on the lookout.

After barely touching him without killing him for a few minutes, we headed inside. Walking, I scan my hand on the panel to get into the conference room and shove the door open. Eli follows me in along with Derrick, and I take my seat at the head of the table.

Eli hands out the tablets, and we all open them with our fingerprints when Marco from the supernatural council wan- ders on in.

He was here to help with the vampire issue, and who better than a bloodsucker to do the job? Marco moves around the room, Thomas sits up straighter and so do a few of the elders, suddenly nervous about having a vampire in our midst.
