The Possessive Alpha Chapter 107

The Following Morning- Thursday

As Charity, Theo, and I cross the border between New Moon and Diamond Claw I can sense a difference. 'His wolf is weakening,' Scarlett comments from the corner of my mind, speaking for the first time in days as she conserves her strength. 'What would cause a wolf to become this weak?' But before I can finish asking her the question realization clicks into place; his mate. That bastard has his mate. 

Fifteen minutes later, without running into a single wolf on patrol, the three of us are nearing the missing doorway of the main house. The packhouse which has been torn apart by the angry hands of an Alpha turning feral with the loss of his mate. Startled by our entrance, the shatter of a glass bottle smashing into pieces echoes throughout the room. "What are you doing here?" Jonah snarls, while Eli demands to know how we got past the patrol. 

"We don't have a lot of time," I say, deciding not to waste time on pleasantries cutting straight to the chase."I know about your mate and I know that you need to exchange me for her." I admit gaining strange looks from Theo and Charity. They knew Jonah was involved but didnt know why, and I didn't know either until we stepped foot on the territory.

"You're not going to stop me," Jonah growls, his eyes shifting to black his wolf stepping forward, "I would trade you for her in a heart beat. I would do anything to get away from her dickbag father. Damon would do the same thing for you." 

"I am not here to stop you," I tell him, because I am not, based on the destruction of the house I would say his mate has not had an easy time while living with her father. "I am here to help. I need to know what his plans are." 

"I am not helping you until I get assurances that you or Damon won't come for me retroactively," Jonah snaps, his eyes still black, his aura springing forth without restraint attempting to intimidate me. "I want you to promise me that you will let me step down as Alpha to live in peace with mate."

"I can promise that we will let you live your life in peace," I confirm, "what do you know about the "Alpha" of Silver Run?" 

"Tiberius?" Jonah snarls, practically foaming at the mouth saying the man's name, "he is a real piece of shit. Everything is booby trapped and I wouldn't trust anything. The pack members are terrified, and the council is useless because he "won" by battle."

"I saw the blueprints for the territory," I agree, recalling the amount of hidden guns, and security devices in those plans you'd think it was a top secret location. "I have a plan worked out for that. But I need to know, what Tiberius has planned to get me to him?"

While his his aura receeds a look passes between Jonah and Eli before a sigh escapes his lips. "He gave me tranquilizer darts filled with wolfsbane and silver. I am supposed to stick you and Damon together, or whenever is easiest. Then take the rental SUV we rented for the trip to our meeting location."

As the information pours from his lips, an idea pops into my head, the conversation with the Goddess rearing its ugly head and idea sprouting in my mind as my eyes find Charity. Opening the link I ask the questions I forgot to ask, 'Charity, your mom is a doctor. Is it possible to pull venom from the jaw?' I ask. 

'Yeah, actually,' she says, her head whipping to mine, her blue orbs as wide as saucers while her brain works to make the connection I already have. 'Doctors do it for mates who are too injured to heal each other. Holy shit...' she trails off as the realization begins to settle. 

"You sticking us whenever won't work," I say, shaking my head in defiance, "you need a designated spot to shoot us from, reducing the risk of you being found out. But we can figure that out later, how potent are they? Did he tell you?"

"Damon's dart is enough to kill him," Jonah answers honestly, the guilt heavy in his voice, "or keep him in a coma for life. If his wolf somehow manages to survive."

"Well we are going to need to change that formula. He only needs to be unconscious three to four days top," I tell him. through the mindlink to Charity and Theo I say, 'we also need to add my venom to Damon's vial as an extra precaution.' I get a small nod of acknowledgment before they both turn their attention back on Eli and Jonah in their own private conversation. 

"Okay," Jonah says, nodding in agreement, "but we still need to find a better place to give these to you, because right now I have nothing."

"I have an idea," Charity says aloud, her eyes darting to cousin a stern look, 'but it requires you making Victor and Emma your Gamma's. Plus it'll strengthen your claim with all three positions having Staller blood in the line."

Neither men take long to think it over before nodding in agreement, as our heads bend together to work out the other kinks in the plan. So engrossed in the work we are doing I barely notice as the sun begins cresting over the horizon.

Saturday Morning- Damon's Ball

Last night my resilience caved, the dam broke and I found myself writing out every detail of my plan in excruciating detail; everything included down to the milisecond. I also included a five page letter filled front and back filled with a million sorry's littered through out the papers.

I explain how I needed to do this for Scarlett, for our future as Alpha's, and that I am sorry for not including him in the plan before now but I needed it to be believable. I needed Tiberius to think he had won, and he wouldn't otherwise.

I wasn't even going to give him this, but the thought of leaving him completely in the dark doesn't sit right with me. I have a responsibility to Scarlett but I also have one to the relationship I created with Damon and leaving him completely in the dark isn't honoring it. 

Holding the file in a death grip, I take a deep breath before stepping onto the front steps of the ally I haven't called upon yet. Raising my fist to the door, I let my knuckles rap against the hardwood door a few times before it swings open to reveal Simon, with disheveled hair. 

"I am sorry to wake you Beta Simon," I say clutching the file to my chest, "but I need a favor. I know Theo told you everything we had planned. When Damon wakes up, I need you to give this to him. Please?" I ask, pushing the file into his hands, my face pleading as he nods absentmindedly. 

Having came here to do what I intended I turn on my heel and walk down the porch steps in the direction of the training field to meet Charity and Theo. We need one last day of preparation before entering the lions den.
