Chapter 26: Chapter 27~Execution would be my vote

Althea stood waiting…the three in the panic room..well…panicked. It was fun to watch. Michael looked at the monitor and said “What will it take to negotiate my release “ and the gorls jumped him for not asking for their release too. Althea blew a kiss to Roman over her shoulder and said this is gonna be a long night. Sooo happy Aunt Dee is cooking us some food! He laughed and said “I am so fucking proud of you!” She heard Michael saying he was talking to her. She deadpans “I was deciding what I would take in exchange for all three of yours’ release.” Michael says “well? What do you want?” She smiles sweetly and says Why nothing, dear brother…nothing but your complete unconditional surrender. You are now my prisoners “ He screams Over my dead body! And she snarls back “that’s the point Bozo!” And the circle cracked up. They went back and forth for three hours and she got fed up! His arguments were ignorant! He knew he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He was just being obstinate! She snarled into the monitor and said “Enough you fuck! The only way out of that damned room is Me! My father designed everything that way…just in case what happened, happened. Smart man my Dad! Couldn’t access a thing, could you!!? Now. We can do this the easy way and step out one at a time and get cuffed. Or we can do it the really hard and painful way. I will pull your wolf forward and command you to stand down. And that hurts like a bitch! Those are your choices! What’s it gonna be?” He says “you can’t pull my wolf. I am Alpha!” A weak Alpha..but you keep telling yourself that Bucko!” she says. Then she said…last chance girls…should you stay or should you go now? Prisoner or starved to death.. tick tock…They both said I surrender at the same time. Michael? Easy way or Hard? He growls Hard! And she smiles and says Oh Goody! And Roman laughed. She walked over to the access panel and bit her hand and places it flat against it and when she lifted it, it was healed. She tapped in a few numbers and the door slid open..Caleb said what the fuck? And Roman explained it..Caleb said I want to do that at home!! Althea stood a little left of the door in case Michael darted forward and Roman and Caleb flanked her. Sydney stepped out first and tried to run to Roman saying “Oh Ro …you came” and Althea’s arm darted out and grabbed hers twisting it behind her back and had her silver-laced ziptied on the floor. Caleb says “Fuck she’s fast” and Roman nods with a proud smile. Anna was next. She didn’t resist..she resorted to tears. Same same..ziptied and done. Althea said “And then there was one. Come out come out, wherever you are..And Michael..act a fool and I will drop you like a stone.” He acted a fool! He charged and she throat punched him. Hard. Roman says.. that seems to be her go-to move and the guys laugh. Auburn comes forth and says “Bennett! Come forth” and sure enough she called him forth..She can see Michael fighting the command. Good luck buddy! Auburn said “Bennett, you will stand down” and he says “yes, Alpha” and they ziptied him. And, just like that they are headed home. Roman says “You are so sexy when your dominant side shines. Makes me want to bend you and fuck you just to dominate you. You’re so fucking hot!” She said “Umm…50 shades of you better not! I don’t like pain” He laughed and said “not that kind of dominate.. where did you get so adept at Alpha Command..it’s not an easy task” She says “my dad. He started teaching me from 5..I used to try it on him and sometimes, he would act like it worked and I would yell for my mom to come look..I commanded daddy and she would clap and we would dance. My parents were silly” She giggled. He said “That’s a great memory. It makes me happy to see you think of happier times.” She said “I am happier now,you know? Because of you. But I am happy because my mom and dad are together again. And they are happy” He said “Baby., last night you told me not to worry. ‘We’ would be okay..what did you mean?” She looked over and put her hand on her stomach. He said are you? She said “I’m almost positive..I haven’t tested yet. He pulls into a Walmart parking lot and jumps out and runs in the store. Caleb walks up and says “what is he doing?” She just shrugs and Caleb walks back. They’re back out on the road and he says “When we stop to eat…please?” She grins great big and nods. They walked into the packhouse and yells “We’re pregnant! Everybody!!! We’re pregnant! There was maybe 5 people up and it struck her so funny! He linked Caleb immediately and before I knew it everyone stood there yelling and clapping and crying. She felt so loved’! It’s a wonderful feeling. We got up and dressed and I grabbed the dvd to play for the pack…and Cathy’s birthday present. I tripped on down the stairs and headed to the kitchen to catch Cathy. I didn’t want her to be embarrassed about getting a gift. It’s not much. A necklace with her birthstone. I put it on her and took her hand and we were talking and catching up, when she stopped dead in her tracks… Caleb flew past me and swooped her up and ran for his room! Roman said..”well that must be the caramel cotton candy smell” and he laughed. And everyone who didn’t show up last night now knows we are pregnant. Aunt Dee came and sat beside me.. and she says “Come to the clinic after breakfast and we will do an ultrasound…then you can do one for me” and she squealed and shouted I’m going to be a cousin!!! Our life is on its way! They are in the clinic and Dee is setting the wand down on my abdomen. Roman squeezes my hand and looks green.. She pushes down and moves the wand around and says there..pointing and then she says Oh! And there! She wiggles the wand…looking.. then she says..Oh Goddess…and there! Three little beans! And Roman runs to the bathroom and throws up! It was great! Three pups! Damn! When Dee hopped up on table she said…”don’t do that to me!” And we all laughed. She only has one baby! She’s 13 weeks but Althea is only 8. They were all in the conference room. Dillon said “That dvd was some funny crap. But what the fuck happened to my sister.?” Althea said “she got caught in Hurricane FuckMeSideways” and they all that was funny crap too. Roman says they’re bringing her up so we can hear her out and determine her fate. He pulled Althea into his lap and said “please stay. I need to be calm” and she just snuggled into him. Sydney was brought in and chained to a chair. She rolled her eyes and said “Ro..why are you doing this? You know I love you.” Auburn burst forth and said “Enough! His name is RoMan! And you YOU …only ever refer to him as Alpha! Now you will tell us why you betrayed our pack!” Sydney shivered and said “I met a man. He offered me money…and since you made my parents stop paying for my things, I needed it. The night I escaped he took me to GoldenMoon” and she shrugs. She shrugs!!! Like enh no big deal! And Roman roared…”You betrayed your family..you abused your family and then betrayed this pack for money to get your fucking nails done!!? Fuck this! Let’s vote! Neil” “Banished “ John “Banished “ Dee “Banished “ it went around the table and was unanimous! Banishment! Althea? What say you? She says “banished….execution would have been my vote…
