Their Unexpected Love

Chapter 4: Marcos

"What do you f*****g mean, we can't go!" I yell at Alpha Damian in his office. 

Damian growls and I lower my head. I know I f****d up by yelling at him but damn, I could feel my anger rising.

We; Alpha Damian, Luna Karime, Patrick, Demetrio and I, we're all in the Alpha's office, in the pack castle. The office was mega-large. It had wood shelves covering each wall, filled with books and maps, handed down from Alpha to Alpha. It got new furniture about a year ago, when the Alpha broke everything in sight when the Luna disappeared, only she wasn't Luna at the time.

After I dropped off Layla with Fatima, one of the ladies residing in Addie's Safe Haven, to pupsit for me. Demetrio and I ran to the pack castle to meet up with Patrick. We were all convened here to discuss what Patrick had found out on the witch's land. 

Patrick informed us that he was able to get some patrol guards to do some asking around the witch's territory when going to see Kate, the witch the Alpha does business with and she told them that there is a strong, powerful warlock in her village that sells strong magical potions. He governs a large coven of only witches. 

That had to be the fucker! We needed to go like now, to check this warlock out. 

"I mean it, Marcos. We don't know if this is the guy and you are putting our Guard in jeopardy and the pack if we start picking wars with the Witch species." Alpha Damian growled.

"How can you f*****g say that to me? You know how much this means to me. Oh, but I guess since you have your f*****g mate, Adeline doesn't matter to you anymore." I quip back angrily.

I heard Luna Karime suck in a breath and Damian came towards me, ready to kick the s**t out of me. I stood my ground, meaning every word I said. Even though deep down I knew it wasn't fair that I threw that in his face. Damian loved Adeline like a sister. Her passing hurt him almost as much as it did me.

Luna, round with a pup in her stomach, stopped him by stepping between us, turning to look at her mate.

"Damian. He didn't mean it. He is hurting and angry. He just wants justice for Adeline, like us. There has to be another way to check this warlock out. Let's take a deep breath and figure this out together. So sit." Then she turned and looked at me. 

"Marcos. We love you and Layla. We loved Adeline. We will do whatever we can to help bring her killers to justice. But we are not going to let you go off half-c****d to kill yourself and leave Layla an orphan. We need to be smart on how we handle this warlock douche. So sit your ass down, too." Luna Karime commanded me.

It wasn't just the authority in her Luna voice that would make all her pack heal to her every command, but because of the look, she gave me. I sat my ass down in the chair in front of the Alpha's desk without another word. 

The Alpha did the same.

He took a deep breath.

"f**k! Ok. How the f**k do we do this, without getting you killed or starting a war?" Damian says to me. 

"Patrick has an idea," I say, passing the buck to Patrick.

All eyes turn to him.

"Yes, Alpha. I was thinking that one of us could go to their village, masked with one of Kate's potions. I know they can't hide our wolf side for long, but maybe just long enough for us to go digging in the f*****g warlock's coven's house to find the proof we need, so that you may take it to the Magical Ministry and ask for them to turn his ass over to us. Thanks to Kate, we know what kind of potion we are looking for and she said potions have like DNA strands, that directly links to the original maker." Patrick informs us.

"It sounds risky, Marcos. We know that Kate tries, but she's young in her craft and her potions and salves aren't truly reliant." Damian says to me.

"I need to try, Alpha. Please. Let me do this." I say to Damian, looking at him straight in the eyes.

"Ok. But just you and Dem go into the house. Patrick, you and two guards stay at the witch's borders. That way you aren't far away if something goes wrong and you are there to get them out." The Alpha commands.

Patrick grunts in agreement. Probably not too happy to be Demetrio's back up.

"You can handle this?" Damian asks Demetrio.

"Do you really have to ask, Alpha Bro. You know there wasn't any way you could make me stay behind while Marcos gets all the fun action." Dem says with a laugh and punches my shoulder. Patrick and I roll our eyes.

"Don't do anything reckless, Dem. We need both of you back in one piece." Luna Karime says to us. 

"Female, please. Do you doubt our mad warrior skills." Dem says jokingly. 

Now it's Karime's turn to roll her eyes at him.

"Stop f*****g around, Dem. Let's do this." I say standing up. 

I look at the Alpha and mind link with him.

"Thanks, Man."

He looks back at me,

"Don't f*****g get yourself killed. Karime will kill me next if something happens to you guys." 

I smile at him and we walk out of the office.
