Chapter 56: Chapter 56

Chapter Fifty-Six

Alpha Blake

I could have killed my Beta for interrupting Ryley and me last night. Remembering her taste on my lips had me instantly hard and unable to focus. After walking her home, I went for a run until I was no longer able to move. My mind raced with every possible scenario where I could make her mine. There was something about Ryley I couldn’t shake, not that I wanted to. I wanted to make her mine.

Luca walked into my office and Gunner growled his disappointment. He’s been grumpy ever since our moment was interrupted. I don’t blame him, I’ll be grumpy until I can see Ryley. But instead, I’m in my office getting caught up before Alpha Dorian arrives.

“Don’t give me your cr*p, I didn’t know you were about to do something.” Luca,scoffed, taking a seat in front of my desk.

“I know,” I grumbled. It was just easier to blame him. I should have made a move after Luca left us but I didn’t. And I’m kicking myself for it.

“Now, stop being such a di*k, Alpha Dorian is here for your meeting. And you need to focus.” My beta scolded me.

“I’d be less of a di*k if you didn’t co***lock me,” I retorted causing him to chuckle.

“I was in the room for five minutes. You coc****cked yourself. Now, get up, you have to meet the alpha, who is about to arrive,” he commanded. I mumbled as I readjusted myself for the hundredth time. I’ve never had blue balls like this before.

“Come on, you can see Ryley this evening. Channing has a hockey practice and I know she will be there. Bring her a coffee and warm her up.” He grinned as I stood up from my desk. He wiggled his eyebrows.

“Let’s just get this over with. Have you alerted a team to go in and help?” I asked him as he followed me out of my office.

“I have two ready. From what I understand, only warriors are being attacked. Women and pups are not being hurt.” Luca answered. This entire situation puzzled me. Rogues don’t hunt like packs and they will go after anyone. So why are these rogues attacking like a pack and only attacking warriors? And how are they winning?

When we exited the pack house, I saw Ryley walking towards her house. She must be going home for lunch, I thought as I looked at my watch. I know she hasn’t eaten in the dining room, since the first day

she started working, besides yesterday for dinner. I should have taken them to a restaurant, it would have saved us all from that disaster of a dinner.

Moments later, a few black SUVS pulled up in front of the pack house. Alpha Dorian was traveling with one of his ga*mas and a few of his warriors. As soon as the alpha stepped out of the vehicle, his head snapped in the direction of Ryley’s house. I looked to see if she was walking back to the pack house, but there was no one there. When I looked back at Alpha Dorian, he looked confused before he masked his face.

“Alpha Dorian, is everything alright?” I asked, approaching him. His ga*ma was standing beside him, now and his warriors were standing around the vehicles.

“Yes, sorry. Thank you for seeing me, Alpha Blake.” He said, shaking my hand.

“Let’s speak in my office,” I told them, he nodded before I walked back

into the pack house. They followed me inside and up to my office on the second floor.

When I opened my office door and offered them to enter, Alpha Dorian was looking down the hallway. His chest rumbled like he was arguing with his wolf.

“Dorian?” His ga*ma called out, snapping this alpha’s attention back to us. He entered my office, while I glanced at my beta, who just shrugged. What the hell was going on?

“Take a seat and we can get started. I understand you are having trouble with rogues.” I said as I took my seat behind my desk. Luca stood beside me while the ga*ma and alpha sat down in front of my desk.

“That’s correct. They move and attack as a pack.” The gam*a answered.

“But they aren’t going after women and children. How long has this been going on?” Luca asked them.

“The attacks were every few months but now it seems to be happening weekly. We have lost twenty-five warriors already. And we can’t seem to figure out when and where their next attack will be. We do know it seems to be the same rogues.” He explained.

“How many have you killed?”

“One,” he confessed. For a pack of rogues to outsmart a pack as big as Dorian’s was a red flag. Where would these rogues have learned such -techniques and the area in that depth to outsmart a pack that is living

there?

“Would there be any reason a group of rogues would want to target your pack, alpha?”

“No,” he answered quickly and firmly. I didn’t believe him.

“Is there something you’d like to tell me, Alpha Dorian? I’m not risking my men, if this is a retaliation for something you did. Rogues don’t usually target bigger packs, but they are going after yours?”

“I don’t know why they are targeting my pack, Alpha Blake. If I knew, I would have stopped it.” The alpha said.

“Beta Luca, who is the lead ga*ma?” I asked him.

“Ga*ma Connor, alpha,” he answered.

“I’ll set up a meeting with him before you leave this evening. Beta Luca will show you and your men to rooms. And if you could forward all the reports to my Beta.” I told them, standing up from my chair. Both men stood up from theirs. The ga*ma was the first to shake my hand and thank me for my help. Which I found odd. What has Alpha Dorian so distracted?

“Maybe he’s worried about his pack while he is away,” Gunner suggested.

Luca led the men out of my office, closing the door behind them. He could be right, but I have a feeling the alpha is hiding something.
