Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 77

Chapter 33 - Dolos

"A vast sea, thousands of islands and they found us that fast?" My mother asked when we explained what had just happened.

"Stefanos must be working with Hades now." Niko said.

"Maybe we should take the pack from Hades first and cut off a resource to Stefanos?" I suggested.

"But it still doesn't explain how we were tracked to the island. When I purchased the islands, my attorney did it with sole anonymity as a shell corporation. The island is also off the grid with its own water and electric supply." Dimitri said.

"Do you have scramblers on your internet?" My father asked.

"Yes." Dimitri said.

"Any new additions to your staff or pack brought to the island?" My mother asked.

"The same loyal members from our mainland pack." Dimitri looked lost in thought.

"Alpha, I've got Alec and Spiro on the phone." Niko said.

"Put them on speaker." Dimitri said. He explained what had just occurred on the beach and Alec also suggested taking out the northern pack. Eros' son, Hades, was bad news. Spiro was going to double the patrols but reported nothing out of the ordinary. I reminded everyone not to trust scent alone, because many wolves in Greece hide their scent.

"When should we expect Odessa to return?" Alec asked.

"What do you mean? She came back after Leo's funeral, didn't she?" Dimitri asked.

"No she didn't." Alec responded.

"I thought you knew." Knox said.

"Knew what?" I could feel Dimitri's tension rising.

"Alpha Georgios said he would talk to you about it. He's Odessa's mate." Knox told us.

"WHAT?" Dimitri, Niko and Alec all responded in unison.

"It's true, she asked us not to say anything until Alpha Georgios had the chance to speak with you." My mother added.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!" Dimitri growled.

"You can't interfere with the Moon Goddess's plans." My father suppressed a laugh at Dimitri's overprotective reaction. My mother gave my dad the eye and the smirk from his face disappeared.

"Where's your mate Knox?" Dimitri asked my brother.

"Rocky wanted to sleep in and then take a long warm bath. I can go get her if you want." Knox said.

"Please do." Dimitri told him and Knox left the room to fetch Rocky.

"Alpha, should I get Georgios on the phone?" Niko asked.

"Yes."

I could just imagine how this was going to go. Odessa was Dimitri's only family; he had practically raised her himself. If they thought my father reacted poorly, wait until they see Dimitri's reaction. I could feel his emotions and he was ready to explode.

"It's a very nice pack and can easily be reached in five hours from your pack. She's still going to be fairly close to you." My mother tried to calm Dimitri.

"Hello Alpha Dimitri." Georgios voice came out of the speaker phone.

"Where's my sister?" Dimitri skipped the formalities and got straight to the point.

"Ahh, I was hoping to speak with you about that tomorrow, when you returned to the mainland."

"What makes you think I'd be returning to the mainland tomorrow Georgios?" Dimitri asked and I could feel his suspicion.

"I-I assumed you would make your way home or to my pack once you heard about your sister and I being mates." Georgios said.

"You assumed wrong. However, if you don't put my sister on the phone, I will not hesitate to come rip your throat out." Dimitri growled.

"How are your in-laws doing? Has Alpha LaRue taken a liking to you?" Georgios quickly changed the subject.

My father opened his mouth to speak but Dimitri raised his hand and placed a finger to his lips to tell him to be quiet. We all got the message and stood quietly.

"I'm afraid Alpha LaRue is not very fond of me. Must be all those beast stories he's heard. He refuses to be in my company and has threatened to end me. I believe they left the island last night. I'm not sure what he's planning, but I don't trust him." Dimitri said and we all exchanged puzzled looks.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Families can be difficult sometimes, especially when they are overprotective of their females. I wonder if Alpha LaRue will reach out for my help? You have his daughter and I have your sister." Georgios said.

"Well Georgios, it seems that you and I are practically family now, surely you will not stand with LaRue." Dimitri said.

"And how is your mate? Have you claimed her yet?"

"I need to talk to my sister, now!" Dimitri emphasized the now.

"I'm afraid MY MATE is a little tied up at the moment and can't come to the phone." Georgios said.

"TIED UP? YOU HAVE ONE FUCKING HOUR TO HAVE HER CALL ME BACK. IF YOU HAVE HARMED HER IN ANYWAY, I WILL KILL YOU!" Dimitri roared and discontented the phone.

"You suspect Georgios?" My father asked.

"Yes, other than you and him, no one else outside of my pack knew we would be retreating to an island. His assumption that I would be returning so soon, is very suspicious. As if he knew about the attack." Dimitri said.

"Does he actually know where the island is?" My mother asked.

"No, but he may have a way of finding the location." Dimitri said.

"Kalimera Alpha, you wanted to see me." Rocky said as she and Knox entered the room.

"Kalimera. Rocky, do you have a cell phone here with you, on the island?" Dimitri asked.

"Yes."

"Did you contract the phone yourself or is it a pack cell phone?"

"No, Alpha Georgios provides them to all the top ranked wolves." She said.

"He pinged the location of her phone!" My father said.

"That treacherous bastard!" Dimitri growled.

"Has Alpha Georgios tried calling you since we left?" My father asked Rocky.

"Yes, last night. He wanted to check to see how I was doing and asked if Alpha LaRue and Alpha Dimitri were getting along." she said.

"And what did you tell him?" Dimitri asked.

"I told him that it wasn't going well and that Alpha LaRue was not happy."

"Excellent. Knox, I need you to destroy her phone. We'll get you a new one when we're on the mainland Rocky." Dimitri told her.

"Okay, but what happened?" Rocky asked.

Dimitri quickly explained what happened on the beach and his suspicion. Rocky confirmed that Alpha Georgios was connected to Eros' son Hades, whom she had seen meeting with Alpha Georgios the day they returned with Leo's body. I had a bad feeling about Hades.

The phone rang and everyone stood still for a moment. Niko nodded to Dimitri who gave him a nod back to answer it. Niko clicked the speaker phone and Dimitri said. "Hello."

"Hello brother!" Odessa's voice rang out.

"Is it true?" Dimitri asked.

"Yes, the Moon Goddess has blessed me with Alpha Georgios as my mate."

"Why didn't you call and tell me immediately about your mate?"

"I've just discovered my mate and wanted to spend time getting to know him. Alpha Georgios has been without a Luna for the six years he's had the pack. I've so much to learn and take care of for my new pack. We're planning to visit you soon, please don't worry about me. I think you have bigger things to worry about."

"Is everything okay? Is he treating you well?" Dimitri said.

"Absolutely, as wonderful as Imara and Alec! One can only dream of being this lucky."

"I'm happy to hear that." Dimitri said, but he certainly didn't look happy. "I'll be seeing both of you real soon."

"Dimitri, don't forget, I found Dolos and he's mine. Please remember to have someone feed him for me." Odessa said.

There was an awkward silence as Niko and Dimitri exchanged glances. "Of course, your cat Dolos is in good hands, we'll take care of him." Dimitri said.

"See, she's doing great Alpha." Georgios was back on the phone.

"Take care of my sister Georgios. If you happen to see my in-laws, I'd appreciate a phone call." Dimitri said and disconnected.

"What was that all about?" My father asked.

"Did she say Imara and Alec? I didn't know that Alec had a mate?" I inquired.

"He doesn't. Alec was the first to find his mate. He met Imara the week after he turned eighteen, she was a year older than him and in love with a human in the city. She rejected Alec and he's never been the same since."

"So, Odessa was sending us a secret message!" I said.

"Are we sure it was a secret message?" My mother asked.

"Yes! She spoke about Dolos." Niko said as if that would make sense.

"When Odessa was a pup, she had a little black cat named Dolos. He was a mischievous, sneaky little thing, so the name suited him. There's an old Greek God named Dolos, who was the master of trickery, deceit, lies and traps."

"Is Dolos still alive?" My mother asked.

"No. He's been dead for a long time now. What she actually said was, I found Dolos, he's mine." Dimitri emphasized the word mine.

"Mine, as in her mate! As in, Georgios is Dolos and planning something cunning!" Niko said.

"My sister is in trouble and she's discovered some deceitful plot. That's why Georgios is acting weird and is probably hoping Alpha LaRue will want me dead or help overpower me." Dimitri said.

"With Georgios thinking that we're not on the island and disapprove of you, he may believe that we could be allies." My father said.

"Do you believe that Stefanos is working with Hades or Georgios?" My mother asked.

"Without a doubt! Eros was Stefanos's right hand man. There's no way Hades, as his only son and heir isn't involved. Now that we know of Georgios' connection to Hades, Stefanos must be pulling the strings." Dimitri responded.

"And don't forget his control of the rogues. Those two packs, combined with rogues and silver bullets, may just be the small army he needs to take us out." Niko said.

"Our pack struggled financially for a few years. Georgios liked to gamble on the stock market. Then we started getting more purchased slaves, omegas I'd never seen before. Something felt suspicious but no one ever questioned him, he's on the shifter's council, so we assumed he had received aid of some kind." Rocky told us.

"And the slaves?" My mother practically growled. She's always been sensitive to slave labor and even suffered for a few years at the hands of her stepmother when my Uncle Ranger first became Alpha. Those were the worst four years of her life and she would never knowingly allow anyone to be treated like a slave.

"They're still there. He keeps them well dressed and clean, to look like hired servants. They have small rooms and bunk beds, down in the basement." Rocky said.

My mother let out a snarling growl. "Alpha Dimitri, please send for Kosta, my mate and I will be returning to Georgios pack this evening." We all stood paralyzed for a moment and looked at my mother. Her aura was dangerously strong, and her amber colored eyes came to life with rage and fire!
