Chapter 2
1015 Words
I make it home and gather all the weapons I will need, my laptop and things and pack my car. I punch Fort Frances into my GPS and head out. I am not going to wait for confirmation, I am heading out, my gut tells me they found him this time. I have sent a message to each Alpha whose territory I would have to drive through, nothing was going to prevent me from getting to snow.
After an hour on the road my phone dings, I pulled over and picked up my phone. I have a text from Jack, he has indeed confirmed it is Snow they found. I knew it would be, that is why I left. I put the car in gear and push the gas heading back down the highway.
10 hours later I reach a town called Thunder Bay, I decided I would book a hotel room for the night, get something to eat then head out again in the morning. I am only 4 hours away. As much as I wanted to keep going my body and mind were tired. I had to stop.I pulled into the parking lot of the hotel named Nor Western. Gathered my things then went to get a room.
As I was doing some work on my laptop there was a knock on my door. I take a sniff, I smell a wolf. I pull a pure silver blade with a wooden handle from my bag and head to the door.
"WHO IS IT,?" I ask through the door
"My name is Alpha Tom Sampson" he answers
I open the door, standing there was a large man, with dark hair and tattoos, with him is an excully big man with brown hair and just as many tattoos
"Hello, I am Alpha Sampson, this is my beta Mark Miller," he says extending his hand to me
"Hello Alpha, I am Nickoli Prax," I shake his hand then step back,
"Please come in," I say
They enter the room and I closed the door.
"Did you not receive my message, Alpha Sampson,?" I ask
"Yes, yes I did, "He says
"I thank you for giving notice of crossing my territory that shows me you respect me,"
"I Mean trouble to you or territory," I say
"I am just passing through,"
"Yes so your message said, can I ask where it is you are heading,?" the Alpha asks
"Again no disrespect Alpha but why is that any of your business,?" I ask him
I hear a growl from the beta,
"Easy now Mark," he says
"If you intend to spend the night on my territory and pass through it is my business Mr. Prax, I can simply deny your passage,"
"Very well then, I am heading to Fort Frances," I said
"Ah I see, well then you should know, then that, that is also part of my territory son," he says
"You see I am the Alpha from here to Kenora"
So this is the Alpha who is hiding the Coward Snow.
"I was unaware of that," I said
"In that case then Alpha I take back what I said, I guess I do mean trouble here,"
"That is a shame, you see I do not take kindly to strangers coming in here and causing me trouble,"
"No instead you hide killers," I said Angerly
"Killers, You say,?' he asks
"I am not sure I know what you mean,"
"I have a tracked a killer I am after to Fort Frances," I tell him
"I am on my way there to kill him,"
"Well now, perhaps you can fill me in on who it is you are after,?"
"His name is James Snow, Alpha James Snow," I say
"I see a confused look between the Alpha and his beta,
"James Snow,?" he asks
"That name does not ring a bell, I know every pack member son, and I am the only Alpha and there is no James Snow," he says
"THAT IS A LIE" I yell
"He has been spotted here,"
I walk over to my laptop and click into my email and send an email off to Jack to send me a picture right now of Snow.
I see the beta lean in and whisper something to the Alpha,
"What is it he said,?" I asked
"Mark just reminded me of a drifter 5 years ago we found, he was near death, we took him in, he has been with us ever since as a guard," he says
"His name, is, oh yes that's it, Peter, Peter James"
"So he changed his name," I said
"No wonder he has been hard to find"
Just then my laptop dings, I open the message and a picture of snow pops up,
"Is this your Peter James,?" I ask
"Yes, yes that is him," says the Alpha
"His name is James Snow," I said
"And I am going to kill him"
"What is it James has done,?"
I fill the men in on the murder of my mother, and how I want revenge,
"You are the son of the Ice Dragon," Beta Miller asked shocked
"I am"
"Well now, that is something," said the Alpha
"Something indeed, and you say it was this man James who had killed the Dragon,?"
"Yes, if it were not for him the Ice Dragon, my mother would still be alive"
"Very well then son, you may spend the night here and proceed to Fort Frances"
"No matter Alpha," I said
"With or without your permission I was going anyways,"
I see the look on the Alpha's face, I can tell he felt disrespected.
"Let's go, Mark," he says
"Good luck on your quest Prax"
I open the door for the men,
"We shall see each other soon Prax," says the Alpha then heads down the hall. I close the door and return to my Laptop.
Something tells me this Alpha Sampson is going to be trouble.
I pick up my phone and make a phone call. A little backup wouldn't be so bad.
