The Wolves Beneath the Sanctuary

Chapter 54 Arguing

Lakota She nods her head and heads towards the kitchen to get everyone something to eat, something I know some of our members do to keep an eye on things. I look around the diner to see that two members have visitors; Josy places a plate in front of me as she says, "Tha na h-aoighean againn gan giúlan fhéin," and I smile at her before I turn my attention to my food. I don't doubt they are behaving themselves; they were warned that if they misbehaved they would never be allowed to visit again. Every member that wants to meet with a family member has to put in a request with me, and I always make sure I meet with them first, Cian right behind me to show them that they will be dealing with two Lycans if they cross a line. The first question I ask is if they know why their family member was convicted, just because I want to know their thoughts on it. In most of the cases I find out that the charges were fabricated and that their family doesn't agree with what happened. So far I have only had to put my foot down once when I found out that the Father of one of our Warriors believed he should have accepted a female Mate, even though he knew his Son is into men. I hear the bell above the door chime, and I expect Armas to walk through the door and not to hear someone say, "Is esan a thug ionnsaigh orm." Colton and Lance have him on the floor in a matter of seconds, and I allow Lotus to take care of this piece of shit. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Lotus growls at him. He looks up at me and asks why he should answer a little girl. "Because she is our Alpha, Shithat," Lance growls close to his face, and I see the confusion in his eyes; after all, I have never heard of an Alpha handing his Pack over to his Daughter.Colton pulls him to his feet, and I step closer to let him see that Lotus is near the surface, letting him feel our Alpha aura. "Answer the fucking question, before I allow my Lycan to rip you to pieces," I say through gritted teeth, Lance stepping beside me to calm me down just a little. "I came to get my Mate," he says, and I see the female shake her head. Everyone knows he is not her fated Mate, because she met him during the first Days of the Full Moon after joining my Pack, and he roars with rage as he looks at Shithat. "She is mine," he growls loudly as he pulls his Mate behind him. "Who told you where to find her?" I ask, because I don't believe he followed her family here, and from the corner of my eye I see her Mother pale. I doubt she told him, but this is the first time her Sister joined their Mother for a visit, and I get this feeling she is the one that told him where they were going.Tanya steps from behind her Mate and looks at her Sister with a murderous look. "Haven't you done enough to ruin my life? You sided with Father when he wanted to force a Mate on me; you even helped them so he could catch me alone, and now you told him where to find me. Get out of here and don't ever come back, or I will allow my Mate to attack you," she yells. "Mom, I am sorry but I am going home," Tanya says before she turns to her Mate. "Please take me home; I need some cuddles from our little pumpkin," she whispers as she walks into his arms. Cian, Quinn, and Jazzy have placed themselves between Tanya and Shithat to keep him away from her, and she quickly leaves the diner with her Mate. We built a few cells in the mountain behind the diner, and I tell Colton to put Shithat in there until Council-member Armas shows up. Her Mother asked her Sister to wait in the car. "Alpha Lakota, I would like to join your Pack. My Mate died six weeks ago, and it finally gave me the freedom to start living my own life. I never agreed with how he treated our Daughters, but there was nothing I could do, and I will always regret what it did to Tanya's Sister. I am glad that Tanya got away from her Father and that she is happy with her fated Mate. I would like the chance to be there for her the way I should have," her Mother says. "Go home with your Daughter and keep to the schedule we agreed upon; take only what you really need to take with you to avoid suspicions. Leave those items with Tanya until you have taken everything over here, and then you can join my Pack," I tell her, and I can see relief wash over her face. Living with her cruel Mate has taught her a few tricks, because by the time she walks out of the diner I couldn't tell she had been given good news. She even starts arguing with her other Daughter the moment she opens the door of the car, and I realize that no one will ever expect her to leave her Pack to follow her Daughter.
