The Alpha's Revenge

Chapter 24

Alpha Clarence’s POV

Business has been going well after that hiccup of losing those three girls. I found out they made it to the Crystal Lake pack. One of the Elders that I pay handsomely, along with one of my spies at Crystal Lake, informed me that one of the girls who arrived seemed to be pregnant. Her baby bump is starting to show. If she is showing, then she is about 2-3 months. I know Lucia was one of the three girls who escaped that night. Since I took her virginity and the only men who f****d her were me and my son, there’s a huge possibility that her baby belongs to me. Even if it’s Blake's baby, which I doubt, since I have had her more often, it’s still part of our family. If that is true, that baby belongs here in Dark Hollow. It’s either my heir or my grandchild. I want that child especially if it’s another boy. I call Blake to inform him

“Hey dad, you called me?” he asks coming into the office

“Yeah, I just discovered that the three girls who escaped made it to Crystal Lake. There’s an omega there, I pay for information. Also, one of the Elders told me they escaped from our pack” I tell him

“Okay, are we worried they will talk about us selling them?” he questions

“Yes and no. They probably already told Alpha Derrick what they know, so we can’t do anything about that. It also occurred months ago. I would guess if they could do anything about it, they would have by now. There’s another concern. Both the elder and omega said one of the girls was pregnant. I’m thinking it’s Lucia, since we both had her. I believe the other girls were virgins”

“That b***h is carrying my baby?” he stands up screaming

“Or my baby. But either way, it is our heir and should be in Dark Hollow, especially if it’s a boy” I say

“How do we get her back, Dad?”

“That’s why I called you in here. I have a big shipment coming through. It’s our last one before winter because it’s hard to get product during the winter months, so this holds us through the winter. Since I have to focus on this, I am giving you the job of getting Lucia back. I would suggest we get her before she delivers. Kidnapping one person is easier than kidnapping two. I will give you the contact information for my spy, use them to help you coordinate and implement your plan. Use whatever warriors and pack help you need. We need that baby here”

“Dad, did we not give her the cocktail? How did she get pregnant?” he asks

“I don’t know, but as far as I know, she is the only one who ever got pregnant. She’s an outlier. None of the other girls who take the cocktail ever got pregnant. I may stop allowing the warriors to f**k them though, just to be safe. The cocktail has worked up until now, so I won’t change anything about that right now” I say

“Those girls escaped like two months ago, she is probably around 11–12 weeks now. That only gives me a month or two to get her. If I wait too long, she will give birth or the stress from the kidnapping can put her into labor. I will keep you updated” he said, and left the office

Lucia’s POV

I am twenty weeks pregnant and leaving the clinic after my appointment with Dr Robert. This baby will probably come in the next four to six weeks. I still have not decided what I am going to do. I have been taking college classes and think I want to be a nurse like Tara. She has been an inspiration to me. She is so strong and independent but caring and nurturing at the same time. A couple of weeks ago, I met Annalisa. Her parents were the original leaders of Dark Hollow before the current Alpha killed her dad and took over. She has been tortured by those horrible men for six years. I don’t know if I would have survived what she went through. She’s also pregnant with Blake’s baby. She says she’s not ready to be a mother and is going to give the baby to Tara and Dr Robert. I think that’s a great idea, they will be awesome parents, and she’ll still get to see him.

My problem is that I want to be a mother. I want to keep my baby. I just don’t think I can do it by myself. I know Alpha Derrick has programs here to help single mothers. I just never imagined that I would be a single mother. I know the Alpha killed my parents, I haven’t met my mate, and I have no other family. I was raised as a rogue, so I never knew anyone but my parents. They both became rogues because their packs were destroyed. My parents said being part of a pack was like being part of a huge family. I thought when we joined Dark Hollow things would be like that, but it wasn’t. The people at Dark Hollow were not friendly. I am so thankful to Tessa for getting us out before we were able to be sold. I like it here at Crystal Lake, it is nothing like Dark Hollow. Besides being so much bigger, the people are nicer and there are so many opportunities here.

I wanted to go to college when I turned 18, but my parents didn’t have the money. Alpha Clarence said the pack would pay for it, but I had to work in the kitchen for a year first, then I had to work in the pack for two years afterward. I was okay with that plan; I would eventually leave the pack to see other things and one year is not that bad. I was only working in the kitchen for two weeks before being summoned me to the Alpha’s office. Being raped by the man who is supposed to take care of everyone, then being sold to someone else, then finding out you are pregnant, put’s a big damper on your future plans. At least if I stay here, Crystal Lake has a college that I can go to, but can I do that and raise a baby with no help. I just don’t know.

I have been volunteering at the orphanage for the last few weeks. I wanted to see what it would be like if I gave the baby up for adoption and I met a little girl there, and she stole my heart. Her name is Camilla, and she is the sweetest. She is two years old, and her parents were warriors killed in a rogue attack about a month ago. I have been volunteering to help out but primarily to see Camilla. I get there for lunchtime. I help them get the kids seated and serve their food. I then went sit and feed Camilla. They are having spaghetti, and she is making such a mess. I take her to get cleaned up when a man stops me and yells at me

“Who are you and where are you going with her”

“She just finished lunch; I was taking her to get cleaned up” I reply

“You don’t work here. Do you have permission to be helping in here?”

“Yes, sir. I have been volunteering for the last few weeks. If you are concerned, we can go see Mrs. Lewis or call the Alpha” I say, hugging Camilla tightly to me as he continues to yell

“Listen here lady. I don’t know who you are, but you are holding my niece. Give her to me” he demands

“Sir, proper protocol is that Mrs. Lewis will identify you as a family member or an approved visitor. I am not going to give you this child until she does”

“That’s my niece. Give her to me” he says louder

“No. Not without authorization” I say moving away with Camilla still in my arms

“I said give her to me” he screams and steps closer to me.

Camilla starts crying and I get scared. I don’t know this man, and he is not following protocol. I will not be responsible for someone hurting this darling child. As he steps closer, I knee him in the balls and run to the bathroom, locking us inside. I call Tessa on my cellphone since I am not a pack member yet, another decision I have to make.

“Hey Lucia, wh….”

“Tessa, there is a crazy man at the orphanage trying to take Camilla. I’m locked in the bathroom with her” I tell her crying

“Where on our way” she says

I hear voices at the door and more yelling. I am crying and shaking at this point. I am trying to calm down and not have a panic attack holding Camilla. Having a man scream at me reminds me of Alpha Clarence. He would slap me and then rape me whenever I talked back, or he was upset. I tend to have panic attacks whenever anyone raises their voice, even if it’s not at me. Connie the therapist, says it’s a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. I am surprised I even hit him and ran. I usually just cry, hyperventilate and pass out. I guess my focus was keeping Camilla safe.

“Camilla is my niece. I am her only living relative. I came to get her” he continues to yell

“I understand but there is proper protocol to be followed. You don’t just walk in and take a child” Mrs. Lewis says calmly

“I’m her uncle” he yells

“It doesn’t matter” Mrs. Lewis yells back

They continue arguing back and forth. I got Camilla to stop crying. I have also washed her face and hands since we were in the bathroom. I sit on the toilet holding her until I hear Thane

“ENOUGH!!”

“Alpha” they both say

“What is going on here?” Thane questions

“Some girl has Camilla, and she locked herself in the bathroom with my niece” he states

“That is not the whole story, Alpha Thane” Mrs. Lewis adds

“Lucia, you in there?” Tessa asks

“Yes”

“Lucia, we are going to go to the office. Once you are calm, please come there with Camilla. Okay?”

“Yes, Alpha Thane”

I hear them all leave. I sit back down and get my composure. After about five minutes, I cautiously open the door and go to Mrs. Lewis’s office.
