Umayza Axel and Boris are laughing their asses off, and I focus on my surroundings to figure out what is going on; Theron is driving right next to us with his window down. "Alexia, pull over at the next possible stop. Captain Armand has a few things he wants to discuss," he says before he falls back and gets back in the right lane. Tarja tells Alexia there is a diner coming up in about ten minutes, and I agree with her that it will be the best place to pull over; it makes it more difficult for someone to try anything. Not that I am afraid someone will try anything, but you can't be too careful. In the past two years, I have read every piece of information the Council has on Night Shade Pack, and I totally understand why Mom got the hell out of there. Every female in my family has been used for profit purposes, and it has always been for evil, never to benefit those that needed it.My Aunt had been sent to a small Pack about twenty-five years ago to get information on the Alpha; a neighboring Alpha wanted to take his Daughter as his chosen Mate, and rumor had it that she found her fated Mate. My Aunt had been able to get into the Alpha's office and found out that the female's Mate would be leaving in the morning to get his belongings. He would be gone for a few days, and the Alpha would leave that same day to the Council to complain about their neighboring Pack, leaving the female behind. In the middle of the night, the Pack had been attacked, but before anyone could get to her, she had taken her own life. Her Father and her Mate had found a note she had left behind, asking her Father to look after her Mate and asking her Mate to look after her Father. She had been the only Pup the Alpha had, and her Mate had stayed with her Father as she had requested, taking over the Pack when the Alpha finally stepped down. I had been furious with my Aunt; she is as guilty of the woman's death as the other Alpha was, and every story I read about my family was of a similar nature. Always resulting in death and destruction. I will never help them; I would rather take my own life. Yade and I will fight my family with everything we have to escape them, or we would die trying to escape. I get pulled from my thoughts as Alexia turns off the road into the parking lot of the diner. Captain Armand As Callan comes to a stop in the parking lot, I see Boris and Axel exit the vehicle, and Yonatan follows shortly after them, but he just closes the door to lean against it with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Boris walks to the left of the diner, while Axel walks to the right, and soon they both disappear around the corner. After a few minutes, the door of the diner opens, and Boris steps out as he nods his head at Yonatan, who opens the door of the SUV. Tarja is the first to get out, and she steps to the other side of the door, while Alexia walks around the SUV to wait a few steps away from the door. Umayza is the next to step out of the SUV with Blaze right behind her, and they block her in from every side as they walk towards the diner. "Damn, they're good," Callan says, and I have to admit I am very impressed by the way they protect her. Other than the twelve of us, the diner is empty; I don't even see a waitress around, and soon I find out why that is. "Everything is clear; the waitress and cook have taken my offer to leave for the next two hours. We have the place all to ourselves," Axel says as Alexia turns the sign on the door to "We're Closed." Yonatan is busy in the kitchen as Umayza asks me what I want to know. "No, don't answer that question just yet. I think I have a feeling what this is about, and I will tell you what I know; after that, you can ask me anything if I haven't given you the answer yet," she cuts me off before I can ask her anything. She tells us that her protection detail had been working on an assignment for the Council and were about to return to their normal position within the King's Army when the Council found out about her ability. So they were asked to become her protection detail, and they had accepted without any doubts.
