CHAPTER 23

Jax

Scientists of any kind were taught to believe that there was always an answer for an oddity. A drug, a disease, a weather condition. Something caused the various disturbances in life.

Yet in this situation, the answer Sedona was seeking wasn’t easy to find.

Or one she could scientifically accept.

“How many are coming to the meeting?” I asked Riker. I’d called both brothers to establish a meeting of Alpha members of those tied to the Cartersville pack I knew who would aid in determining a plan of moving forward. Every male had been at the council meeting, most reacting just like Chase.

However, they were strong and able bodied, men and women refusing to give in completely to the spoils of being human. Our females were just as strong as our males. They would be useful in several ways.

But only if they agreed to work with me.

So many of our pack had scattered to other cities, accepting jobs and promotions or being close to their kids as they went off to college. We still had a solid number within or near Cartersville, but without knowing the kind of numbers we could be facing if things went to shit, I doubted it would be enough.

I’d talked to Mother for longer than her usual ten-minute allotment as I continued to watch over Sedona.

She’d gotten very quiet since our time spent in the elevator. I knew she was processing, but in being able to read her mind she’d all but convinced herself the story was impossible. Even with the video, she was blocking out details. Whatever tests she had planned on running could prove useful, but with the FBI still very much involved, I feared not only what they could learn.

But also how they’d react.

Taking her to the meeting might infuriate some of the elders also invited, but I needed to keep an eye on her. Other than my mother, no council members had been on the invite list.

“Enough for tonight. The word will get out. You know Mommy dearest,” Riker answered. “She’s already contacted a few of the closest packs to confer and ask for their assistance if needed.”

“The problem is that we don’t know how far this thing goes.”

“The problem is that it’s going to be tough to kill them.”

I pulled down the road leading to my house. I’d purposely chosen a site of land years ago that I’d developed over a couple of years. The location was private, surrounded by acres of woods, all of them owned by either me or my family. That allowed me peace; it wasn’t to indulge in hunting like the lovely woman believed I engaged in.

Plus, there was some of the most gorgeous scenery in the entire town. I had my own private waterfall.

“We’ll find a way if necessary, but we need facts, not fiction, Riker.”

“Ah, the lovely scientist is rubbing off on you.”

“Maybe so. How did it go with the Italians?”

“Parker did a great job in your absence. Hopefully, they won’t cause us any additional trouble. I’ll be there in thirty minutes.
