Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 71
Chapter 27 - Conference
The sinking yacht attracted lots of attention from surrounding watercrafts and the water patrols raced passed us to the location. We returned to the marina on the research institutes boat with our warriors and Leo's body. Kosta was waiting for us with a few men of his own, he directed us inside the research lab.
"I've brought Dr. Homer with me, in case he was needed." Kosta told Dimitri.
"Thank you Kosta. I'm afraid we've lost Leo and need to make arrangements to transport him back to his pack. Dr. Homer should look over Rocky and Alec first, it appears they've been injected with wolfbane." Dimitri instructed.
"Of course, Knox, please take Rocky into the next room, so Dr. Homer can evaluate her." Kosta said.
Knox just clung tighter to Rocky, his eyes dark and growled, "MINE."
"It's okay, I'm a mated wolf." Dr. Homer told us and pulled his shirt collar down exposing his mate mark on the lower neck.
"Knox, I'm sure you can go with her. Dr. Homer only wants to help her." I told Knox.
"Rocky, this is my oldest brother, the future Alpha of Crescent Moon pack, Knox LaRue. Knox, this is Rocky Onassis, future Beta of Zeus's Howlers."
Rocky looked up at Knox with tears still glistening in her eyes. "It's actually Raquel, but I prefer Rocky." She told him.
Knox's eyes filled with so much emotion when his mate spoke to him for the first time. "What's your wolf's name?" He asked.
"It's Reign. What's yours?"
"Knight. As in your Knight in shining fur." He smiled silly and Rocky managed a faint smile.
It was a really sweet moment that calmed Knox down. He picked Rocky up and followed Dr. Homer into the other room with her. Knox was an exact replica of my overprotective father.
"It's probably time to call my father and explain everything." The room stood silent for a moment.
"We also need to call Alpha Georgios." Dimitri said breaking the silence.
"There's video conference equipment upstairs we can use. Once Rocky is done we can get started. I'll go call Alpha LaRue and Alpha Georgios so they're ready for the video conference." Kosta said.
Twenty minutes later, Knox carried Rocky upstairs to join us. "Dr. Homer said the wolfbane will work its way out of her system in the next day or two, she just needs to rest." Knox told us.
"Are we ready to connect on the conference call?" Kosta asked.
Clair was sitting next to Niko, Knox was holding Rocky on his lap, Odessa stood by Kosta and I sat next to Dimitri. The equipment connected and the monitor showed my father in a room with my mother, Aunt Payton and Uncle Max.
"Good evening Alpha LaRue, Luna and Beta's. I'm Alpha Dimitri Theodorus, from Olympus Blood Moon. We're just waiting for Alpha Georgios from Zeus's Howlers to connect and we'll get started." Dimitri said.
"Knox! Is there something you want to tell us." My mother said with that knowing smile on her face. She was looking at Knox possessively holding Rocky on his lap. Alpha Georgios connected before anyone could answer my mother.
"Alpha Georgios, thank you for joining us." Dimitri said. He was about the same age as Dimitri, I wasn't expecting him to be so young for some reason. He had light brown almost blondish hair with striking hazel eyes.
"I apologize for the delay, I'm actually in Athens on business right now and there's been a great deal of commotion going on at the marina. It appears that Alpha Eros of Moon Warriors has been found dead." Georgios told us.
"That's actually great news!" My father said.
"It certainly is! That scum was a disgrace to our kind. Kosta, I didn't know you worked for Alpha Dimitri." Georgios said.
"Kosta is the Uncle of my Beta Niko Stamos and a former pack member of Olympus Blood Moon. He may be living and working independently in the city, but he will always be a trusted liaison. I believe his admirable qualities is exactly why Alpha LaRue trusts him as well." Dimitri said.
"You are correct Alpha Dimitri, please begin the meeting, I'm assuming my son and heir, Knox, has found his mate from your pack?" My father said.
"Raquel?" Georgios said suddenly understanding that Rocky was actually sitting in Knox's lap.
"Actually dad, it's a long story. Alpha Georgios, I'm Raven LaRue, from Crescent Moon. I should probably start from the beginning, so you understand exactly what has transpired and the current situation we're in..." I continued on from the beginning. When I came to Athens, meeting Rocky and Leo and Eros' obsession with me. Dimitri filled in the parts about his father and the mafia connection.
We told them about the human trafficking and Angela's abduction. Then we told them about Rocky and Leo's disappearance, the arrival of Knox and Clair and the rescue that went wrong this morning. We explained how we believe Stefanos is not only the mafia boss but also the Alpha of rogues and how he is possibly controlling Eros' pack.
"And now the mighty beast of Greece seeks our help?" Alpha Georgios said smugly, and I could hear Dimitri trying to control a growl in his chest.
"How dare you speak to my brother that way Georgios!" Odessa roared her eyes livid. "Eros was an evil monster and my brother ripped his throat out, which you seemed to be very happy about moments ago. Let me remind you, Olympus Blood Moon is nearly three times the size of your pack and far more powerful. We are not seeking your help, only your understanding for the loss of your future Delta and OUR FRIEND. Leo cared very much for his friend Raven, who is our LUNA."
Well that's one way to tell my parents!
"What? Luna?" My mother gasped.
"Yes, Raven is my mate." Dimitri replied.
"LIKE HELL SHE IS!" My father growled and chaos seemed to erupt, everyone was talking over each other.
"EVERYONE CALM DOWN!" Kosta called out.
"Yes, it's true. The Moon Goddess has paired Raven with Alpha Dimitri. Alpha LaRue, before you say something else you might regret, you should remember the prophecy, something bigger is at work here and no one can stop it. Also, my nephew, the Beta of Olympus Blood Moon, is the mate of your niece." Kosta explained.
"Clair? Is this true? Why didn't you call me?" My Aunt Payton squealed. She was always the cool supportive one.
"Mom, I just got here a few hours ago and found him." Clair said blushing.
"What about Knox?" My mother asked.
"Raquel Onassis, Rocky, from Zeus's Howlers, is the mate of the future Alpha of Crescent Moon. I'm sorry Alpha Georgios, it looks like you're going to lose your future Beta as well." Kosta smiled.
"And who is this little ball of flames?" Georgios asked.
"This ball of flames is my sister Odessa Theodorus, and you will respect her." Dimitri said.
"I'll have the jet fueled and ready to go in the morning. We're coming to get you." My father growled.
"Dad, I'm not going anywhere." I snapped back.
"We'll sort it out when we get there honey." My mother said. Which was code for, I'll calm your father down.
"Alpha LaRue, we'll be retreating to one of our islands while we establish a plan to take care of the bigger threat. There are too many rogues on the mainland, and I need to keep my mate safe." Dimitri said.
"Do you expect us to find you among thousands of islands?" My father growled.
"Of course not Alpha. When you and the Luna arrive, please call Kosta, he will arrange for our high speed boat to bring you to the island." Dimitri graciously said.
"I need to return with Leo, for his funeral." Rocky said softly.
"Alpha Georgios, I will escort my mate with Leo back to your pack lands." Knox said.
"We're at the marina, the arrangements have been made to take Leo back." Kosta said.
"I'm nearby and will meet you at the marina to travel back with you. Alpha Dimitri, I would like to request your sister escort your new brother-in-law and Raquel. To attend the funeral tomorrow on your behalf." Alpha Georgios said.
Dimitri looked at Odessa who nodded her head in agreement. "Very well, Odessa will accompany them on my behalf."
"We will attend the funeral as well Alpha Georgios, we obviously have some things to discuss. Then we will join Alpha Dimitri and my daughter on the island." My father said and hung up.
"I will be at the marina in fifteen minutes." Alpha Georgios said and disconnected.
"Are you going to be okay going alone?" Clair asked Knox.
"Of course I am. We'll join you on the island after the funeral." Knox said before he turned to Dimitri. "Take care of my sister." Knox added.
"I will, take care of mine too." Dimitri said as Odessa hugged him goodbye.
"The boat is ready to take you out to the island Alpha." Alexander said.
"Niko and Clair will be coming with us. Alexander, return with the warriors and take Alec back to follow up with Dr. Vovos." Dimitri instructed.
"I'd like to go out and have a moment with Leo before they leave with him." I said and Dimitri took my hand, leading me to the car to say my final goodbye to my friend.
