ALPHA RAIDEN

You've got to be kidding me!
No! They have got to be fucking kidding me!
"What did you just say to me?" | growled, losing every restraint | had put on myself just to enjoy dinner with the
family I'd be letting go in a few days.
If Jake knew what was good for him, he better not repeat those words or tellhe was just trying to pull a prank
on me.
As if he could read my mind, Jake opened his mouth, only to close it again, like a confused fish. | stepped closer
to him, snarling, "Answer me!"
"Nolan and Helan... and a few of their men escaped the cell, Alpha," Jake answered instantly and fluently.
| wasn't surprised that he spoke without stuttering. At least he had that going for him but that didn't reduce the
intensity of the rage swelling withinas his words echoed in my head. "Tellyou don't mean that, Jake."
Jake shook his head, holding his hand at it shook uncontrollably. "I'm sorry | let you down, Alpha. | was supposed
to be on watch and I let you down. Please-"
"I'm not listening to that shit you call apology, Jake!" | seethed. Who the fuck cares about his apology? What was

Nolan and Helen were the means via which | planned to find Larisa or make her cto me. All through dinner, |
had been trying to keep my mind off how I'd make Nolan beg for his life and use Helen to destroy the family just
like Larisa did with my parents. That was the plan.
But now?
Perhaps | would have cared about Jake's response if | wasn't losing my mind and considering bashing his head
into the nearest wall. However, | couldn't do that not in my kids' presence. So before Jake could say another word
that would pushto the edge of fury, | opened up the mind connection and spoke into both Jake's and
Andrew's minds.
"How did this happen?" Andrew asked a trembling Jake.
Jake led the way and Andrew followed but | looked back at my soon-to-be broken family, trying my best to keep
my raging emotions at bay as | uttered, "Everyone of you should remain in the house. I'll have men surround the
place. Please stay together until | return."
"Outside! Both of you and now!" | commanded fiercely.
| trusted Aurelia to protect the kids and my mom. | didn't know if Hazel could defend herself if anything went
wrong but knowing she was there for Aurelia and the kids kinda assuredthat Aurelia had someone to watch
her back.
| stormed after Andrew and Jake and when | caught up with them outside my home, my fist connected with Jake's
cheeks before he could even see it coming. "How could you let that happen!" | snapped, landing another solid
blow on him.
Jake lost his balance, staggering
backward until he tripped and fell on

his side. Angrily, | drove my foot into his side, seeing nothing but red Andrew didn't dare to stopand I didn't
stop until | was satisfied.
"Since when did they escape?" | gritted that question.
Jake had difficulty talking after the beating he just received and Goddess knew that I didn't pity him He shouldn't
have slacked and let those betrayals escape. "About thirty minutes. | tried to reach both of you through the mind
link but | was blocked out so I had to cto the mansion."
Jake finally answered, wise enough to tellwhy he was just tellingabout an escape that happened thirty
minutes ago.
"Did you at least send out troops to find them?" Andrew asked, his voice low.
"Y-yes. They are looking everywhere for them-" Jake answered.
But | snarled, "Like they have been looking for Larisa? Like they were looking for Kyle but never found him! Are
you trying to make a fool out of me?"
"I wouldn't dare, Alpha. | swear to you." Jake voiced in defense.

But | wasn't convinced. The thought of Larisa and her family going scott-free after everything Larisa did to my
family made my skin crawl and my mind explode.
However, Andrew interfered before | could waste any more ton Jake. "We should spread out, Alpha. We can
still find them and I'm sure they haven't crossed the borders." Cross the border or not, | wasn't pleased.
Kyle's case has taughta painful lesson and the case of my mom has madeknow that a whole world could
be hidden in my pack and | wouldn't find it... not even with my men.
But | listened to Andrew, sending
both him and Jake away. | stayed behind to guard the mansion until sof my men arrived and took over.
searched aimlessly untiLex popped an idea into my head
"I think | know where they might be hiding." Les gritted to me.
"Where?"
"In plain sight... in a place, no one would expect them to be..." Lex answered.
Yes... and | knew where that could be.
| dashed towards the place with two words in my mind.
"Kill them."
Which would be fun. It's been a while since | slayed anyone. Killing Larisa's parents would be a good place to
start over.
