3rd P.O.V.
3:30 P.M.
Gamma Jean-Claude in a firm and calm tone by her bedroom window, “From what I can tell Alpha Riley, Bianca came into the house and went straight to her bedroom. Shortly afterward, Brandon followed her. Where a struggle took place between the two. Bianca was able to stab him and escape out of the window. I don’t smell her blood in this room, only his blood. I’m not saying she isn’t injured somewhere. I’m just stating she didn’t lose any blood in this room. We need to find her. That empty syringe has both their scents on it. Goddess knows what was in it.”
Gamma Ryland replied, pacing back and forth in the hallway,” Dad and Alpha Riley, I think Bianca is my mate. From her smell all over this room, my wolf is losing his s**t! Sa’vage, keeps shouting: MATE HURT! MATE IN DANGER! FIND MY MATE! I really need to go find her before me and my wolf lose our s**t!”
Alpha Riley stated calmly, kneeing beside a still unconscious Beta Brandon,” Go find her! We need to find her before midnight! I don’t want her to have her first shift possibly hurt and all alone. Go now, Ryland! Keep us posted! Just know if you have not found her in an hour due to the weather conditions, I will form a search party to locate her.”
Gamma Ryland quickly jumps out her bedroom window onto the ground, trying to catch Bianca’s most recent scent trail. He runs into the woods in his human form.
Alpha Riley and Gamma Jean-Claude go downstairs to deliver and update to everyone. As Bellamy and Brandon are driven away in the pack's ambulance.
Dana and Taylor immediately come to the conclusion that she must be hurt and unconscious too. Since, she would never not answer their mind links. They agree that they have to go find their friend. They try to talk Alpha Riley into forming a search party, now.
However, Alpha Riley is hell-bent on giving Gamma Ryland an hour to locate his missing mate so as not to disturb the pack too much.
Dana and Taylor call their parents and inform them of the situation. Secondly, they send out a mass text to the entire pack informing them that Bianca is missing and possibly hurt. Furthermore, anyone interested in searching for Bianca needs to meet them in front of her house @ 4:30 p.m.
The future Alpha Martin, worried that his lack of action could now lead to a war, said,” Look! We could be jumping to conclusions! We don’t have any real proof that Brandon is the bad guy in this situation! What we do know is that Bianca definitely stabbed him and fled the scene! She left the scene of the crime without asking for further assistance!”
Alpha Riley, enraged by his foolish son’s words, replied,” You mean help that didn’t come thanks to you!”
Martin, embarrassed responded” I said I was sorry! I won’t let you or this pack down, again!”
Taylor, irritated with Martin's overall behavior, walked over to him and gets in his face,” Are you really trying to f*****g victim blame right now? We have proof that he is the villain! You, Asshole!”
Dana walked over to support her friend in a show of solidarity and stood side by side with Taylor in front of the young foolish Alpha. “I swear if this is your mindset….. I’m switching packs when your father steps down!” Jordan and his father attempted to calm the situation and get the girls to back down unsuccessfully.
Martin, offended and pissed, quickly said in his defense,” You will not talk to me with such disrespect, ladies! I am your Alpha! You will respect me!”
“Not, yet! You are not the Alpha, yet! Thanks to the Goddess! So, f*****g do better, and you won’t hear our mouths, playboy!” yelled Taylor at him, refusing to back down. He quickly looked at his father to correct her, but he looked away. He knew that his son needed to learn the lesson fast and now that respect is earned, not demanded.
Jean-Claude responded by stepping in between the two young ladies and the young Alpha,” Wait, Ladies! I know your upset right now! You have every right to be as well. But it will not help Bianca if we are wasting our energies attacking each other. Just take a minute to calm down. Now, tell me, did I hear you correctly when you said you had proof that Bianca is indeed the victim in this mess!”
Taylor answered, attempting to calm down by pacing back and forth,” Yes! She called us back when we were driving back to Dana’s house from the mall. The phone sent her call straight to voicemail. However, it recorded their whole conversation. They can both be heard clearly, and he admits to everything! He is a sick-twisted bastard!” Jordan and his father stood beside both girls to make sure nothing escalated to the point of violence. They knew Martin didn't like his authority challenged.
Martin, upon hearing her words, demands she play it for everyone.” “What the f**k! I am going to kill him! I want to hear it right now! I will not allow the rape of my pack members!”
Alpha Riley, clearly upset, said,” Bianca is only sixteen! So, we are talking rape of a minor! The sentence is death per our pack laws! Please play it loud on speakerphone, so everyone can hear it!”
Jean-Claude voiced before the recording could be played, “Riley, when my son finds out Brandon tried to rape his young mate. He is going to lose his s**t and kill him! I will not be able to stop him! His wolf will demand his head! This will probably cause a war between our two packs. You need to get ahead of this and inform all the appropriate people!”
Alpha Riley looked at his old friend and replied, shaking his head in worry and regret, “You are right! Let’s hear the recording first!”
Alpha Riley knows his Alpha commands don’t work on the Gamma family. Plus, he isn’t strong enough to stop Ryland if he does decide to go on a killing spree. He knows he has to use his head to contain this situation and resolve it before it gets worse.
The girls play the voicemail for the men. By the end of the voicemail, the men are all clearly pissed.
Martin spoke first,” Chrissy lied to me! She made a fool out of me! I trusted her! That b***h will pay! Now, my Gamma is truly going to lose his mind! I could have prevented this if she had told me the truth and not covered for him!”
Alpha Riley expressed,” I told you I didn’t like her in the first place, and she wasn’t Luna material! However, this isn’t about her lies, but you're failing to do your duty…..your damn self! You have a responsibility and a duty to your pack! You are supposed to be the Alpha!”
Jean-Claude simply stated, “Alpha Riley, I just linked the pack doctor letting him know what we are dealing with and Ryland. So, Dana and Taylor have confirmed that Brandon did stick her. Hence, she is somewhere unconscious, and it was only the two of them in her bedroom. He had already silenced Bellamy. She couldn’t have gotten far in her condition!”
Alpha Riley digested the facts clearly presented to him. He shook his head while running his fingers through his long blonde hair along with adjusting his ponytail, and asked,” Did anyone contact Bianca and Bellamy's parents, yet?”
Taylor quickly stopped pacing and responded” f**k them! Mr. Noah hasn’t given a s**t about Bianca since he hooked up with that old evil ass b***h! Octavia and her daughter Bellamy mistreat Bianca and abuse her. Bianca has just been counting down the time till either she finds her mate and can get the hell away from them, or she turns eighteen. Whichever one comes first! So, f**k them! We don’t need their fake asses coming around pretending like they care about our girl! All they care about is Bellamy and spending Bianca's mother’s life insurance policy money!”
Jean-Claude probed, looking at both girls, not liking where this conversation was headed at all,” Do you have any proof?”
