Jason stared at the file with her name on. He couldn't tell her the only reason they'd kept her alive was because of him. They had known all along who'd bitten her, but they kept Daniella from him, masking her scent so he couldn't find her. His father knew what was happening, and he also knew about Jason taking Daniella as a toy.
"It's not the best way to get your woman to stick around you, son," his father had said.
Fortunately, he'd agreed not to tell Jason's secret about him being the one to bite her.
Daniella reached for another piece of chicken, and he caressed her stomach. His seed had taken within her. She was no longer fertile but pregnant with his baby.
"All of these files."
"There are about twenty," he said.
"Does that include mine and Oliver's?" she asked,
biting into another piece of chicken.
"No. It's twenty-two if you include yours. My sister is in there as well."
"What does her file say?"
"It's stamped with 'escaped' over it."
Daniella tapped his hand, moving away from him. He watched her wipe her mouth on the napkin before picking up the tub of potato salad. He'd brought more than enough to feed her. Jason hated the thought of her going hungry, and after yesterday she'd been avoiding food. He wasn't going to let her get ill because of everything that was happening. She was the reason he wasn't going to give up on finding his sister.
"Did they have a plan?" she asked, eating some salad. Looking down at the files, he looked up at her.
"We're trying to figure everything out. It looked like they had a plan to take over other packs. Naomi and Jonathan were power hungry. They were intent on ruling the whole surrounding area of wolves."
"I don't understand why. They had a pack of their own."
"They simply wanted more. It wasn't enough for them to keep to their own grounds." Jason gathered up the files into one neat stack. His father was filled with happiness knowing his daughter had fought to get out.
"Something so simple shouldn't have created something so fucking awful," she said. "You're talking about them hurting other people, other wolves."
"They were coming after my pack."Jason sat down behind the desk staring at her. The clothes she wore did nothing for her curves. His clothing was much too big. He couldn't bring himself to let her have the clothes they'd taken from the other house. The stench of the other pack clung to them.
"What?"
"Yeah, it's in their game plan. We've got Naomi's diary. She was the person behind it all." Jason stared down the length of her body feeling desire curl in his stomach.
"Are there any other people missing?" she asked.
"Dad's finding that out now. He's talking with the other pack hoping to find the answer to that." His cock thickened at the thought of being buried inside her cunt. He needed her desperately. "Come here," he said.
She shook her head. "No, we can't do that."
"Do what?" he asked, teasing her.
"You know what. I'm not going to think straight until I know what's going on." She put the empty bowl of salad down and started to pace.
"I need to find my sister. She'll have the answers." "How?" she asked, clearly stressing out.
Standing up, he walked around the desk going to her. Pulling her into his arms, Jason inhaled her warm fresh scent. "We've got to go away from here," he said.
"What? Why?"
"The full moon is over, and I'm needed back in the city. My men are only here to offer me protection under this current threat." He pushed her long brown hair over her shoulder and inhaled her scent. She smelled like his woman. He felt his canines lengthen, getting ready for him to strike and claim her as his mate.
"What do you want me to do?" she asked.
"You'll be coming with me. Dad's taking Oliver with him until we know more. The only safe place for wolves right now is within the city. Our agreement is until the next full moon. We've got three weeks left."
"I know how long we've got left." She looked up at him. Her brown eyes were hooded. Moving his hand down, he cupped her ass, squeezing the supple flesh. She moaned. "Is that all you think about?" she asked.
"You've got a body for fucking. I'm just like any red blooded male. Any man who got the pleasure of having you to themselves would take full advantage." She obviously liked the way he was speaking. Pushing the shirt he'd given her out of the way he slid his fingers underneath the band of her pants. Her pussy was slick to the touch and burning hot. Daniella opened her thighs giving him better access.
"I feel how much you need me. Tonight, you'll be ready for me. Once I start fucking you I'm not going to stop until you come all over my cock."
Tilting her head back, he sank his fingers into her core as he sucked on her neck. She relented, thrusting onto his fingers as if her life depended on it.
"I've got you, baby, fuck my hand," he said.
Her body was heating up with every passing second. Her wolf purred at him for his cock.
Smiling, he sucked on her neck, pressing his thumb to her clit.
She shattered around his fingers. Minutes later as he was bringing her down from her orgasm, a knock sounded at the door. Removing his fingers from her body he called for his father to enter.
Daniella kept her head buried against his chest. Her heart was pounding, and her hand was caressing his chest.
"Hello, son, I was told I'd find you here," his father said.
"Dad, I'd like you to meet Daniella ."Jason made the introductions quickly. Her cheeks were bright red as she looked at his father.
"It's a pleasure to meet you..."
"Name's William, honey. I imagine my son hasn't told you anything other than Dad or his father."
She smiled. "Something like that, yes."
His father was putting her at ease.
"Son, go and get us a drink while I talk with this gem of yours." Daniella giggled.
Chuckling, he took the plate of empty food and headed toward the kitchen. Katrina and Alex were making out in the corner as some of the Alphas were talking. They stopped when he entered the room.
"How is your woman handling the news?" Alex asked.
"She's shocked by what we found with Jonathan and Naomi." The diary in the center of the table was Naomi's that had given them an insight into what was happening. "Anything new in there?" he asked, putting the plates in the sink.
"Not yet. We're looking through it. Taking it back home with us, we're going to look into her contacts. We think there could be an outside source or something else. I don't know what the hell is going on to force pack leaders to turn against their own," one of the Alphas said.
Nodding, he filled several glasses with water and walked over to Jane and Alex.
"Are you two all set to return home?" he asked. They were his closest friends, and he would hate to have anything happen to them.
"We're packed," Katrina said. "Are you sure this is wise?"
"It's our only solution with what's happening as otherwise we're going to risk being out in the open," he said.
"We killed them, Jason. What kind of threat do they pose?" Alex asked.
"My sister is still out there. She's been missing for a long time, and according to her file she wasn't with them very long." Jason glanced over at the Alphas talking amongst themselves. "I think it's logical to suggest she got caught up in something much worse. I couldn't handle anything happening to you."
"What do you mean about something much worse?" Katrina asked.
"They were experimenting on us. How do we know someone else wasn't interested in knowing our secret?" Jason wasn't prepared to take the chance that a bigger, deadlier party wasn't involved. Keeping all of them protected was his top priority. Heading back to the study he heard his father and Daniella talking. Standing outside he listened to them laugh and joke for several minutes before he walked inside. He would do everything to protect Daniella . Jason felt responsible for her. He brought her into his world, but he'd not been there to protect her when she needed him most.
