Nickoli's Revenge

Chapter 3

Alpha Sampson

"So why did we lie to this future Alpha," asked Beta Miller

"Why did you tell him he was a drifter and not the truth,?"

"Prax doesn't need to know that James is in fact my brother in law," I said

"But it will seem my dear brother in law wasn't so truthful himself on why he had fled to my pack after his pack was destroyed"

"After all these years we learn the truth on the one who killed the rare Ice Dragon," says Miller

"Yes, and it seems James is that killer, Now he has the son of the Dragon after him," I say

"Killer of the dragon or not he is still family, therefore we must protect him, let's go Mark we must prepare for Mr. Prax,"

Madison

"Father I must speak with you now," I said barging into my father's office.

"Madison dear," he says

"What brings you here so early my dear,?"

"It is Nickoli Father I think he is in trouble,"

"Trouble,?" what kind of trouble,?" he asks getting to his feet

"Nickoli called late last night and asked Jesse for help, he has found Alpha James Snow," I said

"Ok, ok, slow down Madison, and start at the begging,"

"Nickoli told Jesse he was visited by some Alpha Sampson and his Beta Miller last night," I told him

"He feels deception from them, he thinks there is going to be trouble so he has asked Jesse to come with warriors to help out if needed,"

"Why did he not call me,?" dad says

"He knows I would have been there for him,"

"You know how he feels about your father, and you know how Nickoli hates asking for help,"

"so for him to call and ask for help, something has to be wrong,"

"Ok, Ok, dear calm down, what is Jesse going to do,?" he asks

"He is gathering 300 of the warriors and going to head towards Nickoli,"

"I will gather 300 of my own warriors and join him," he says

"If Nickoli gets in trouble we will have his back,"

"I was hoping you would join father," I said

"I don't want anything to happen to Nickoli,"

Father walks over to me and pulls me into a hug,

"I won't let anything happen to him my daughter, I failed him with his mother, I will not fail him," he says

"Now come on, we must gather the warriors and head out before your brother gets himself in too deep"

Nickoli

I had trouble sleeping last night, the visit from Alpha Sampson just wasn't sitting right with me. I know the bastard is hiding something from me. And I know he is not just going to look the other way and let me kill Snow, something tells me calling my brother-in-law for backup was a smart idea. Only They are 15 hours away, I can not wait another day to get to Snow. I will eat, fuel up, and head out for the last 4-hour drive. I need to get there before Alpha Sampson tips Snow off and he runs again.

I pull up to a gas station diner, I fill up then head inside to pay and get breakfast. I can feel everyone's eyes on me. I can smell nothing but wolves in here, I wonder if their Alpha had informed them of a passing wolf.? I pay the gas attendant then enter the eating area and sit down.

"Coffee,?" Asked the red-haired waitress

I nod my head yes at her and she fills my cup, I pick up the menu and start to glance at it. I still feel eyes on me.

"You have no business here boy," A deep voice says

I continue to look at the menu ignoring the voice,

"I SAID YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HERE BOY," the same voice said louder

"You're not welcome here, best you leave,"

I Place the menu down, take a swig of my coffee then look in the direction the voice came from,

"You best leave boy," he says again only this time I see the man saying it. He was a tall well built middle-aged man with long black hair a scar on his right cheek and tones of tattoos,

I remain silent,

"You deaf or something,? your not welcome, we do not want your kind here or trouble boy, you best leave before I give you trouble,"

I smirk at his threat,

"I will leave when I am good and ready,"

"No you will leave now," he says getting to his feet along with the 6 men sitting with him

"Conor sit down," came a women's voice,

"You know my rules, no trouble inside my place,"

"I look over at the old grey-haired woman behind the counter.

"There won't be any trouble in here if the boy leaves, Grace," he says

"Let the drifter eat Conor, then he will leave," she says

The men sit back down, the waitress returns over to me,

"What can I get you Mr,? she asks

I place my order and drink my coffee, I stare out the window, but I feel Connor's eyes still on me. I do not know what this guy's issue is with me, I have done nothing yet. Perhaps this is Alpha Sampsons doing, perhaps he ordered his pack to chase me off? Well, I am not scared easily, and I will not be chased out, not till I get snow.

Finally, my food comes and I shovel it down, finish my coffee, pay the bill then head to my car.

I heard footsteps behind me, then a strong grip on, my shoulder stopping me,

"Hold up boy,"

I stop in my tracks, c**k my head to look at the hand on my shoulder, I watch as it slowly lets me go, then I turn around and face the man who owed that hand.

"You are not welcome around here, I suggest you leave town now or I will make you leave," he says

"Listen, I have business here, so I suggest you mind your own business," I said

"It is my business when a wolf not in my pack is in this territory," he says

"I have permission from your Alpha to be here and pass through, so step off," I said

"You heard the man Connor,"

"He has permission so back off and let him be,"

Both Conor and I look over at the one who talked, it was Beta Miller,

"Beta Miller," said Conor

"What are you doing in this part of the territory,?"

"I go where I please, I am the Beta you do not question me, now do I said and move along, Mr. Prax here has permission to be here,"

"Fine, your lucky boy," He says then walks back inside the diner

"Ignore Conor, he likes to think he is the law around here," said Beta Miller

I turn and head to my car, I have no time for the Beta,

"What's the hurry Prax,?'

"Listen, Miller, I appreciate you telling him to back off, I would have hated to hurt one of your pack members, but I have no intention of being friendly with you or telling you anything," I said

"I informed your Alpha enough, now excuse me" I climb into my car

Miller Knocks on my window, I push the button to roll it down,

"How about a ride back to Fort Frances then friend,?" he asks

"No, I am sure you can get there on your own,"

Miller Laughs

"Very will See you soon Prax," he says with a smirk then shifts and takes off running towards the trees.

I have had enough of this part of this stupid pack. I put the car in gear and take off down the highway towards Fort Frances and Alpha Snow.
