Alpha Don's mafia family book 3

Chapter 6 into the woods

Mercury’s P.O.V

  I had thought and planned the whole thing out with Anna and William’s house, making sure that it would be close enough that I could get there straight away and far enough away that she would still have her privacy. So obviously a house built right next to the pack house was the ideal place and when I told Anna she rolled her eyes at me, but was still over the moon. We talked for a few more minutes before Cheynne excused herself to go to the bathroom. She had been acting weird for the past few weeks and my mind was racing with all the possibilities as to what the reason was. She came out a few minutes later and was all bright and cheery again, like there was nothing wrong, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt and decided to go along with it. The rest of the day was spent planning a party for Anna and the whole pack was going to be there to celebrate. I knew that four others were going to graduate as well, one was going to be a lawyer, two were going to be nurses and the other was going to be a dentist. I was so proud of all of them so we made it into a joint party for all five of them.

  “Do you think we should have the party before or after they graduate?” Cheyenne asked, looking at the dates where everyone would be able to attend.

  “I think we can do both. We can have one in two days and then have an even bigger celebration the day after they graduate. What do you think?” I replied and Cheyenne nodded, marking the calendar. We stayed in the office for a couple more hours, planning every detail for the party in two days and when we were finished for the day I took Cheyenne’s hand and led her up to our bedroom, shutting the door behind us.

  “Mercury, what's going on?” Cheyenne asked as I turned to face her.

  “You tell me. I know there is something wrong, you have been acting weird for a few weeks now. You walk out into the woods on your own and then don't return until several hours later. Are you okay? Are….are you seeing someone else? Who is he? I’ll rip his f*****g head off.” I asked, feeling angry at the thought of Cheyenne with another man, but then she just laughed and glared at me.

  “Mercury Black, I am not seeing anyone else. You are my husband and the only man I love, now calm your ass down.” Cheyenne replied, shaking her head.

  “Then what is it? What's wrong? Is it something I have done or something I haven't done, if so tell me and I'll either undo it or do it, but please tell me what's going on.” I begged, walking closer to her.

  “I’ve….I’ve been hearing things, like something has been calling to me and it's been causing me to have a lot of headaches. I go out there to see if I can find out what it is, but I can never find anything. I plan on going back out there tomorrow one more time to see if I can find out who or what it is that is calling me.” Cheyenne replied and I quickly shook my head.

  “You are in no way going out there by yourself, I’m going with you and so are Trevor, your dad and William. Whatever is out there, it wants you and whatever it is, is never going to get you.” I said, putting my foot down, but she just smiled at me and wrapped her arms around my neck.

  “You're not changing my mind on this, no matter what you do or say, I’m not budging.” I said, avoiding eye contact with her because I knew as soon as I looked at her I would cave in.

 “Alright then, it's a date. Tomorrow morning we will meet up with the others and get going because I am tired of having these headaches, they are making me feel crappy and it's really annoying.” Cheyenne replied and I nodded. She was way too quick to agree and something told me that I would regret it later, but for now I would take the win.

  “Everything will be fine, I promise. We will figure out who or what is doing this and why, until then let's get some rest because tomorrow is going to be a very long day, I can tell.” I said, wrapping my arms around her waist and softly kissing her. We got undressed and when we were done I gently picked her up and carried her over to our bed, laying her down and covering her up. I got into bed next to her and pulled her close to me, hugging her. Cheyenne fell asleep right away because the headaches were draining her, but I couldn't sleep. My wife and daughter kept running through my mind. I would do anything possible to keep them safe and I will kill everyone that would ever try to hurt them. I finally fell asleep after a couple of hours, but when I did all I had were bad dreams, something had taken Cheyenne and killed her. I went after the monster and jumped on its back, breaking its neck as I did so. I woke up in a cold sweat, but calmed down as I saw Cheyenne lying next to me. I laid back down and pulled Cheyenne even closer to me, inhaling her scent and slowly going back to sleep.
