Chapter Nineteen

Alessandro’s POV

After mom left for her date Isabelle came over to hang out, I swear this is so weird I can't believe

she's actually my aunt shes more like one of those crazy friends than an aunt.

After I woke up from my coma we became close and now we're inseparable, I'd say she's my best

friend instead of my aunt, I tell her all about my life in Italy and she tells me about growing up here

in Cali.

I was kinda sad to know that she didn't experience a completely normal childhood but at least she

had her friends who helped her out. She said the saddest part about growing up was watching her

dad blame her mom for her illness and everyone treating her like some fragile kid, thankfully her

friends gave her some normalcy.

We hung around the hotel stuffing our faces with popcorn and watching movies, we even pulled a

few pranks on the staff and other guests here, I had no idea Isabelle was such a prank master.

We're currently running away from a guest we just pulled a prank on, it was this stuck up old man

who kinda reminded me of my so called grandfather so we snuck in his room and got under his bed

when he fell asleep I stripped him to his underwear and tied him up while izzy plastered his face

with make up,(dude’s a real heavy sleeper) afterwards we blew the bull horns we brought with us

waking him with a shock, watching him fall off the bed we then me made a run for it as he started

getting up so he couldn't see our faces.

Running back to my room we closed the door then fell on the floor laughing.

"That was so funny" izzy said between laughter

"I know right you are the best bad influence ever" I replied

Gathering ourselves after our laughing fit we decided to go to the cafe we went to a couple nights

ago when mom and Jermaine made up. I'm happy there together Jermaine makes my mom happy

and that's all I need to know besides he already knows I'll kill him if he hurts her but I'm sure he

won't so am not worried.

Changing my shirt and grabbing my coat we head out. Izzy's friends had texted her saying they

were heading to the cafe so we decided to go hang with them. They are the most decent people

I've met since I've been here plus they are almost as cool as izzy.

Since mom went in Jermaine's truck or rather his huge ass tank as I like to call it, I decided to drive

her Jeep seeing as the cafe was too far away to walk and I don't really like cabs. I already have my

license so am not worried about the cops.

We finally reach the cafe and I went to park while Isabelle went inside. I drove around a bit before I

could find a good parking spot, I parked the car and made my way inside. Stepping through the

doors I heard Isabelle telling them about the pranks we just pulled, everyone burst out in a fit of

laughter when she she told them about the old man. Walking up to the table I say

"Hey guys”

They all looked up at me, remnants of their laughter still evident on their faces

"Hey Alessandro” they all greeted back

"Dude I didn't know you were so good at pranks you have got to teach me some”

A brown haired boy named Trevor said as I pulled out a chair beside izzy, sitting down

"No problem" I replied

We all ordered some drinks as we talked and laughed, me telling them of stuff I did back in Italy and

the pranks my friends I pulled on my teachers and principal while they told me of all the cool stuff

they did.

I had lost track of time because of the fun I was having, we weren't ready to head home yet so we

decided to go to the park, I look at my watch and see that it's almost 3:00 mom must be home by

now seeing as she left for her date at noon I don't want her to worry so I'll text her and let her know

am out with izzy

Me: hey mom in case your already home and wondering where I am izzy and I went to hang out

with some of her friends at the café but we're heading to the park now so I might be home a bit

late, Love you.

I sent the message and placed my phone back in my pocket, she'll reply when she sees it I thought

to myself then rushing to catch up with the others. Izzy and I got back in the Jeep as we drove off in

the direction of the park. It feels good to be having this much fun again ever since we came here it's

been nothing but stressful and now I can enjoy being just a regular 17year old.

We have been at the park for about an hour now and I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun

in ages. We're currently playing basketball at a court by the park, boys against girls and I'm sad to

say we are getting our asses whipped by the girls I mean come on this is a man's sport how could

we be loosing? I'll tell you why, it's because Trevor's eyes follow every female that passes by instead

of focusing on the ball, he even stopped mid sentence once to look at this Latino girl that was

passing by I swear he's hopeless.

As I was about to throw the ball in the net I felt a sting in my neck then my body felt numb for a

second and I fell, everyone stopped and looked at me as I heard izzy pushing through the crowd. I

know these feelings aren't my own so as soon as the numbness wears off I stood up

"Alessandro are you ok" izzy asked

"Yeah am fine but something happened to my mom" I say

"Ok let's go" izzy said as we ran off

I knew those feelings were from my mom's but what the hell happened she's supposed to be on a

date. Making it to the car izzy hopped into the passenger seat, as I was opening my door my mom's

voice popped up in my head

"Alessandro help---" was the only thing I heard

Then I felt like I was kicked in the head, after that the pain disappeared. I jumped in to the car and

sped back to the hotel I swear to the moon goddess if anyone hurts my mom there will be hell to

pay. I drove like a maniac until the hotel was in sight, I had already filled Isabelle in on what I heard

and felt so she understood my actions I'll be damned if I let anyone take my mom from me I'll kill

there entire generation.

I parked at the front of the hotel and dashed out of the vehicle, pushing pass the doors and run at

top speed to the suite. Bursting through the doors to my mom's room i see nothing.

The place looks just the same as I left it and if I weren't a werewolf I would think that nothing

happened here but the scent in the room however have a completely different vibe. Izzy walked up

to me and looked in the room

"It doesn't seem like anything happened here it look just like when we left, but why do I get a

feeling that isn't the case”

"I know it looks the same but can you smell that, I can smell beach and my mother's blood someone

tried to clean something up in here" I say, my eyes turning black as my wolf has taken over.

"Let's search the room" Xavier says

I know izzy notice the change in my voice and my eye colour it's obvious I'm not the one in control.

We searched the room for any signs of a struggle or anything that could tell us what happened,

looking under the bed I spot a drop of blood on the carpet this one smells different from my

mom's.

Using my claw I cut out the area with the blood seeing as we'll need a scent to track.

"Alessandro over here I found something” izzy called

I walked over to her and saw that she was in the closet by the door. She stepped aside pointing to

what she found, I looked down at what seemed to be the cap of a needle, so that's why I felt that

sting in my neck they injected her with something; those fuckers are gonna wish they were never

born.

Grabbing a clean bag i carefully placed the needle cap in the bag along with the piece of rug I cut

out earlier

"Izzy is there anyone in your pack that you can get to run a test to find who's prints are on this

needle" I ask

"Yeah my friend Jasmine's mom is our pack's head doctor am sure she can run it she's into those

kind of stuff"

"Ok we need to get to the pack house since my mom's scent is here she must have returned from

her date which means Jermaine doesn't know what happened to her and neither does my grandpa,

uncle micheal and aunt gen”

We left the hotel and headed for the pack house at full speed I have no time to waste I need to find

my mom, I haven't felt her being in any pain but that doesn't mean it'll stay like that maybe she's

just unconscious and whoever took her hasn't done anything yet hopefully I can find her before

then.

Reaching the gates leading up to the pack house two guards step out in the way izzy pushed her

head through the window telling them to let us through. I drove through the gates and parked the

car at the front of the pack hospital then izzy and I went to the doctor so she could run the test.

Walking inside the pack hospital some nurses stare at us as we enter, I followed Izzy's lead as she

walked down the corridor and in front an office door, she knocked twice before we heard a lady say

"Come in"

We walked inside to see a middle aged woman looking into a microscope

"Hey Mrs Carmichael" izzy called

Looking up the lady replied "izzy I didn't realize it was you how are you dear is something wrong"

"No nothing's wrong am fine but I was wondering if you could do something for me"

"Depends on what it is"

Izzy look out the bag with the needle cap and the piece of rug then said "I was wondering if you

could find out whose prints are on this needle cap and who the blood belongs to"

"Isabelle angelica black what have you gotten yourself into" she said spotting the blood on the

piece of rug

"I haven't got myself into anything but someone abducted Alessandro's mother and this could help

us find her but you can't tell anyone" izzy pleaded

"So why don't you tell the alpha and let him handle this isn't Alessandro suppose to be his son"

"Ke'shaun won't help us because he's a jerk and he was the one who kicked them out even after

Alessandro saved my life remember”

"Ok well you do have a point there, fine give it to me I'll find out who it belongs to then mind link

you when I have some results”

"How long is it gonna take" izzy asked

"About four hours at most I have to run it through the entire werewolf database and then the

human one if its not a werewolf"

"Ok thank you Mrs Carmichael” izzy replied

"Thank you for doing this when you didn't have to I really appreciate it" I say

"Your welcome honey I hope you find your mom" she replied

Afterwards we went to the pack house to find Jermaine and the others, we entered the house to

find people running about and alpha dipshit giving out orders he spotted us as we walked in and

rushed over

"Izzy where gave you been we've been calling you none stop we are in the middle of our hugest

rogue attack and Jermaine and dad is missing"

"What the hell do you mean they're missing” izzy and I shouted at the same time

"They've been gone for a some time now dad found out about him and Rosalyn then started

flipping out mom called him but by time he got here dad went to the woods to cool off Jermaine

went to talk to him and none of them have returned, then suddenly rogues started attacking from

all angles it seems they must have snuck up on them in the woods and kidnapped them or

something then started attacking us.

"Where's my uncle?" I asked

"He's guarding the safe room"

As soon as he said that I rushed in the direction of their safe room I can't believe they kidnapped

Jermaine and my mom what are these rogues playing at. I saw the panic room up ahead and two

figures standing by the door, I could make out one as my uncle but the other was unknown.

"Uncle micheal I need to talk to you" I breathe out as I reach where he was

"Alessandro what are you doing here?" He asked surprised

"I need to talk to you somewhere private it's important” I say

His eyes clouded over as he mind linked someone, soon after another guard walked up to us and

took his place; he then led me outside to hear what I had to say

"What is it you wanted to talk about"

"Someone kidnapped mom and I think it was the same people who kidnapped Jermaine"

"What!!!! Someone kidnapped Rosalyn how am I just hearing this"

"I just came back from the hotel izzy and I were hanging with some of her friends when I felt a sting

in my neck then my body went limp for a couple seconds afterwards my mom mind linked me

saying help then my head started hurting and then nothing. I went to the hotel and I smelt my

mom's blood and I also found someone else's blood on the rug” I say

"We also smelt bleach like they cleaned up so I think someone from the pack was in on it" Izzy's

voice sounded from behind us

We both turned to look at her in shock and disbelief

"What makes you say that" I asked

"Because the hotel you and your mom is staying at belongs to my family and only werewolves from

the pack and some humans work there. If it was a human who saw the blood obviously they would

have called the cops so it's obvious someone from our pack cleaned the room” she replied

Now that I think about it she's right although I had no idea her family owned the hotel but I knew

wolves from their pack worked there because I smelt them.

"We also asked doctor Carmichael to run a test in the blood and needle cap we found at the hotel

room to figure out who was there that would give us a lead" she told uncle micheal

"You guys must be detectives or something good job so far but I just can't believe Rosie was

kidnapped this is all too suspicious first Rosalyn then Jermaine and Mr black something is going on

here" uncle micheal exclaimed

"I blame this all on your alpha" I say

"What?? Why?" Izzy and uncle micheal asked

"Because the day I went into the coma before i found izzy I went to his office and I warned him that

he had a developing rogue problem for some reason rogues seemed to be targeting this pack and I

told him there was a traitor in his pack but he didn’t listen and now this is the result his brother and

father is missing, the pack is under attack and somehow my mom got caught up in this, izzy I'm

sorry but if anything happens to my mom I'm killing your brother” I told them bluntly

After our talk uncle micheal went to inform the dumbass about my mom but I told him not to say

anything about the blood or our suspicions I don't trust him or his pack. While uncle micheal was

doing that I called alpha Xander

"Hello" he answered

"Uncle Xander it's Alessandro my mom was kidnapped I need your help"

"What, how long has she been kidnapped and why isn't alpha black helping you"

"It's just a couple hours since she's been gone and I don't trust that insect besides someone from

his pack is in on it so that's why i called you"

"Ok son don't worry I'm sending 5 of the top warriors and trackers to California right now we'll find

your mom and after that your both coming home I knew I shouldn't have let her go to that jackass's

pack I swear if anything happens to her I will kill them all no one messes with my baby girl"

"Thanks uncle Xander and I'm sorry, you gave me one task to do, take care of my mom and i failed”

I replied as unshed tears burned my eyes

"It's not your fault Al how could you have known I know this is hard for you but don't beat yourself

up ok save your strength and use it to find your mom, I have to go tell Gabby and debrief the pack

I'll talk to you later”

"Ok, say hi to aunt Gabby and everyone at the pack for me and thanks again"

"I will, bye"

After I hung up izzy ran up to me breathing heavily as if she just ran a marathon

"Alessandro the rogues are at the forest line and closing in I know this pack doesn't deserve it but

we need your help to fend off the rogues I know your a great fighter plus if the fighting doesn't

stop we won't be able to find your mom"

"Don't worry izzy I'll do anything you ask of me plus I have no problem ripping apart some rogues

to release my anger” I say extending my claws

I rushed outside after sending izzy to the safe room much to her protests, everything was as she

said it was a war zone at the forest line and beyond, it was hard to tell who was winning, deciding

that I've dawdled enough I run into woods and started fighting.

A rogue launched itself at me, I grabbed him by his throat and squeezed until I heard a blissful

crack. Some were in human form and others in wolf form and as i suspected they were fighting in

formation. One in his human for tried to attack me from behind but I sensed him coming before I

saw him, I quickly turned around and started punching him in the stomach as he came within range

then I gave him an uppercut which landed him in a nearby tree then I walked over and snapped his

neck.

I kill rogue after rogue occasionally torturing them to find out who sent them; so far I've only learnt

that a male and female rogue joined up with someone from this pack, they had no idea who the

man was as he never showed his face to them but the man and woman seemed to know who he

was.

I'm currently in my wolf form, I gave Xavier full control after I couldn't obtain anymore information

also he was really angry and his blood lust was evident by the way he slaughtered the rogues, his

whole body covered in blood. Eventually the rogues retreated when they realized their numbers

were reduced drastically.

After the rogues left and the prisoners were secured I shifted and ran to the house, I haven't seen

grandpa or aunt gen since I got here and seeing as the pack was under attack they have no idea

what happened to mom. I cleaned up outside under the pipe and put on the clothes uncle micheal

got me.

As I entered the house I saw nurses rushing someone towards the pack hospital it must be one of

the warriors who were fighting because he looked like he was mauled by a bear.

"Alessandro!!!"

I turned to see izzy calling my name as she ran in my direction I could also see tears in her eyes as

she reached where I stood. Breathing heavily as tears flooded her eyes she said

"Alessandro I'm so sorry if I had known he was gonna faint I wouldn't have said anything” she cried

"Izzy what are you talking about who fainted"

"Your grandfather" she shouted

"He fell and hit his head after I told him about Rosalyn it's just that he was so concerned I couldn't

not tell him plus Genevieve kept asking as well so I told them but then he fainted and hit his head

and now the doctor says there's a swelling on this brain"

"How long ago was that?" I asked

"About an hour ago doctor Carmichael is with him now" she replied

I rushed to the hospital at full speed, my mind is in turmoil right now first my mom now my

grandpa, everything just keeps getting worse. I run inside the hospital and made my way to the

doctor's office but it was empty, turning around i see izzy behind me

"Which room is my grand father in" 1 asked

"Room 297 down the hall" she pointed

I was off again as I got my directions, when I reached closer I saw aunt gen in the hallway crying

"Aunt gen is grandpa ok" I asked

"Oh Alessandro he fainted but the doctors haven't told me anything yet. I can't believe Rosa is

missing too who could have done this" she cried

"I'll fill you in on everything I know after we get some news about grandpa ok" I say hugging her

tightly

We sat there waiting until doctor Carmichael came out of granddad's room. As soon as we saw her

aunt gen and I stood up to question her

"Is my granddad ok, what happened to him" I asked

"I'm sure you heard he fainted and hit his head, this caused him to have a concussion at first we

thought it was just that but after the MRI we performed it was later found that he had a huge

swelling on his brain, we performed surgery to reduced the swelling and it went well but for some

reason your grand father is unresponsive and he isn't waking up even though the anesthesia wore

off and his brain activity is reducing as well if this continues he'll be brain dead in a few hours.” She

told us

Before I could process everything or even reply a loud thud was heard beside me as the chairs

flipped over

Oh no!!!

"Aunt Genevieve!!!l!ll"
