Chapter 28
28 Failed
Lorraine POV
When Amelia said that Charles had rescued her from the people who should have protected her hope
blooms in my chest. I love my mate and I hated the choice he made. I will always stand by Lincoln, but
I pray that Charles returns with him. That he has truly made things right. It’s Lincoln’s decision but I
know my son’s heart. “Lorraine, I know that Lincoln wants to forgive his father.” She wraps me in a hug
and I thank the goddess again for giving this woman to my son. “How are you feeling Amelia?”
“Honestly I’m fine.” “Little bean has been moving all over the ce all afternoon despite everything
that’s been happening.” Iy my hand on her belly and I feel him kick against my hand. A few moments
later, the door flies open and Lincoln walks in followed by Charles. I don’t even say a word, I just run to
him. Feeling his arms wrapped around me I can feel the tingles despite my rejection. I hear the door
click shut and I pick up my head to look into Charles’s eyes. “I’m so sorry” he starts to say but I pull his
lips to mine.
When I pull back, I ce my forehead against his. “I know your sorry for what you did.” “I’m more than
sorry Lorraine.” “After you rejected me I realized how I would have devastated our son.” “I was
devastated losing our bond and I know it is what I deserve.” I ce my hand on his cheek. “I, Lorraine
Marie Thomas, ept and solidify my bond with Charles Jacob Thomas.” I instantly feel the strength of
our bond and Charles throws me over his shoulder. “Charles what are you doing?” “I’m going to make
sure our bond is solid by taking you to our room to mate and mark again.” Iugh “you won’t get an
argument from me.” We head out the door and toward our room.
Lincoln POV
We head downstairs to another office. I have Amelia’s hand in mine because Talon and I need her
close. That is twice we almost lost her. Michael looks so distraught. “Michael talk to me, what’s going
through your mind right now?” “Lincoln if Elder Thomas was helping Jennifer and Max do you really
think he took Max to the Elders territory for a trial?” “We are about to find out Michael but honestly, no I
don’t.” I pick the phone up off the desk and it rings three times before he answers. “Alpha Lincoln, I’m
sorry I haven’t got to call you about the investigation.” “I know it’s probably not what you want to hear
but we were unable to prove As killed Elias.” “Right now Elder James, I don’t give two sh*ts about
As because he is going to die regardless if he killed his own brother or not.” “Alpha Lincoln what has
happened?” “I have a question before I tell you why I am calling.” “Go ahead” Elder James says.
“Where is Maxwell Major?” There is silence for a moment. “Alpha Lincoln I’m confused by your
question.” “Maxwell is part of your pack.” “Why would I know where he is?”
“Elder James I need you and the other Elders toe to the pack today to discuss Elder Thomas,
Maxwell, and Jennifer Lorris.” “I have no probleming to your pack but I need more of an
exnation to bring all the Elders.” “Elder Thomas has aligned himself with that ba**ard As and
attempted to take my Luna again today.” He growls “we are on our way.” I hang up before I turn to
Amelia and Michael. “I need to get the book with my numbers from my office.” “I have one more call to
make before we prepare for the Elders arrival.” They follow me upstairs and once we are in the office, I
dial the number while the phone is on speaker. A few secondster, he picks up. “Lincoln to what do I
owe the pleasure of this call” As says with that smug tone. “Are you looking for my mate?” “How
does it feel to lose her?” “I wouldn’t know since she is standing here in my arms.” There is silence and I
know he is debating whether to bite. He thinks that I’m bluffing.
“Nothing to say As” Amelia says. He roars “Amelia what have you done?” Sheughs “you ask me
what I have done you pathetic excuse for a wolf.” “You actually sent my so-called parents to take me
from my mate.” “You are my f**king mate and I will have you if I have to kill that entire f**king pack.”
“That will never happen and you are done talking to my Luna.” “This call was purely to let you and
Thomas know that your time is limited before you go to meet the goddess and pay for your crimes.”.
“I’m sure Thomas is listening and if not, you can let him know that he will pay just as you will.” “You
really believe that I am afraid of you and your pack Lincoln.” “Now As, I know you really don’t think
your pathetic pack can take mine on and win.” “I wee you to bring your warriors so I can show you
what real warriors look like.” “I n to rip your head from your body for all you have done to my Luna” I
say before I disconnect the call.

An Hour Later
Elder James
After I hang up with Lincoln, I call for the other Elders toe to the meeting hall. Once they arrive, I
tell them about Thomas recent behavior and my phone call with Lincoln. “Do you really believe he
would betray his vow like this” Elder Marcus asks me. “I wish my answer was no but honestly I believe
that Thomas thinks that Alphas are above ourws.” “We have all been Alphas and the reason we
became Elders was to ensure that thews applied to all wolves.” “Thomas apparently has different
ideas and I for one am not going to allow him to abuse his powers.” “He will receive a trial as all wolves
should to determine his punishment but he will need to be stripped of his title.” “Are we all in agreement
that he needs to be dealt with ordingly?” They all nod and agree with everything I have said. “Alpha
Lincoln has requested us at his pack after a kidnapping attempt was made on his Luna today that
Thomas took part in.” They all gasp and I can see how upset they are by my words. “We will leave in
twenty-minutes, so ready yourselves and meet me at the SUV.”
We are on our way to the Nightfire pack. I still can’t believe that Thomas would be so stupid. I can’t
believe he betrayed the vow we all took to uphold werewolfw. To be impartial to all packs. I brought
three of the four remaining Elders. Elder Zane remained with our warriors in case Thomas tried to
return to the Elder’s territory. I gave him strict orders to ce him in the cells until we return. We are
about fifteen minutes from the pack when I hear a wolf howl. I turn to look out the window when all hell
breaks loose. I look back in time to see three wolvese out of the trees and stands in the road.
Elder Marcus cuts the wheel and before I know what’s happening, the SUV is on its roof. I free myself
from the seatbelt and begin to crawl from the window. The other Elders are doing the same. We all
stand facing the wolves and the five more join the other three.
“Well, gentleman, it looks like you had a little ident” I hear a voice from the trees. I almost expect to
see that ba**ard As but instead Maxwell walks out. “My new Alpha wants his Luna back and you
gentlemen are interfering.” “Max, what the hell are you thinking?” “Do you really believe that As cares
anything for you?” He growls “he respects me more than that ba**ard Lincoln does or my own brother
for that matter.” “He was willing to allow Lincoln to kill me over a woman that means nothing to the
pack.” “I hope you know that you will all die for standing against us and betraying your true alpha.” The
wolves growl and we all shift. Five of the wolves are average size but Max and one other wolf are
larger than average. They start to circle around us before they snap their jaws at each of us. It’s a
scare tactic since they outnumber us. I have had more than enough of this bullsh*t. I lunge in Max’s
direction. He is able to dodge but I turn back, biting down on his hind leg. Before I can break it one of
the other wolves jumps on my back biting down into my shoulder. Gunnar my wolf whines at the pain
and I shake him off.
I look around and the others continue to fight, but with their numbers, despite their size we are
struggling to take these ba**ards out. Elder Marcus is being held down as another wolf approaches. I
run in his direction, jumping on the wolf, knocking it to the ground. I bite down, breaking its neck. I turn
to return to the fight but Max and another wolf jump at me at the same time. We roll and I end up
pinned under Max’s wolf. The other wolf bites down on my front leg. Maxwell’s wolf bites down on my
neck and I can’t breathe. I expect him to bite down ending my life but it seems he wants to suffocate
me. He wants to feel powerful for killing an Elder I’m sure. Darkness takes me under and I pray that the
goddess protects Lincoln, Amelia, and their pack.
