The Alpha's Rejected Heir novel Chapter 25

Michael's pov (6 months later)

"What the hell do you mean you don't know where he is!? Aren't you guys supposed to be able to track any supernatural creature" I yelled slamming my hands on the desk I was seated behind.

ke'shaun, dad and myself is currently in a meeting with the four men who led the werewolf council, after we had found Jermaine and Rosalyn and I briefed everyone on what had happened with Alessandro the four men sitting across from me now had later offered their help in finding Alessandro as he was once apart of their ranks. It has now been six months and we are still unable to find him, they had been tracking his movements based on the increase in rogue deaths over the past couple of months, at first we thought nothing of it until we got eyewitness accounts describing the killer and the descriptions had matched Alessandro to a T.

"Look beta micheal we know that your frustrated and angry, you have every right to be but it's been six months since Alessandro disappeared from our radar and that can only mean two things, either he's somehow able to hide from us over night or he's dead, we both know it's most likely the second option" the first of the four elders told me

"He's not dead! How can he be dead? I would have felt it"

"Actually beta you wouldn't" the second elder said in a matter of fact tone

"And why the hell not? Isn't he a werewolf? Isn't he my nephew? I asked getting more pissed by the second

"We cannot tell you why but just know you wouldn't" it was the first elder who spoke this time

"See here old man I don't give a fuck about your secrets or whatever the fuck you guys are hiding ok. All I know is its been six months since my sister and jermaine was taken, six months since my nephew disappeared and six months since my sister has been stuck in that room. She hasn't eaten or spoken to anyone since she woke up two weeks after we found her and she learnt her son was gone thinking his mom is dead. She cries all day and night only sleeping when her body is too exhausted and shuts down, do you know how hard it is to watch your baby sister suffering like that and you can't do anything about it!!!" I shouted

"Calm down micheal it's no use getting upset" ke'shaun said placing a hand on my shoulder

"Don't you fucking dare tell me to calm down this is all your damn fault if you hadn't rejected my sister none of this would have happened but then again I'm kinda glad you did since Jermaine obviously knows how to take better care of her than you do. I pray to the moon goddess that pup amber has inside her doesn't turn out like it's parents or this pack is gonna sink but let me tell you this 'Alpha' my family and I will be jumping ship long before that happens because I'll be damned if I let your family destroys mine anymore than it already has" I replied flipping him off then left the room with a slam of the door.

Deciding I've had enough of the council's bullshit I make my way down the stairs to find my fiancé and our two month old son. My mind raced back to the day Alessandro disappeared.

Flashback: we had only started fighting for about 20 minutes when I saw Alessandro rush to the front of the mansion and head inside, we all heard a scream earlier and the potent scent of blood that floods this area has both Rosalyn and Jermaine's scent which is all the proof we need that they're here.

After killing countless rogues the decrease in their numbers became evident giving us the upper hand, we had a few injured but luckily no deaths. I was in the middle of killing a rogue when I heard a gunshot go off inside the mansion, I remembered Alessandro had gone inside so I quickly finished off my prey and rushed into the house.

Entering the house I went up a staircase which lead to a long hallway that was lit up only by the rays of light from the sun. making my way down the passage I saw a trail of blood leading to the last room in the hallway, following the trail I came to a stop at the door where the trail ended only to find the decapitated head of a man.

Stepping pass the severed head I walked into the room looking up from my feet at the sound of a voice and instantly wished I hadn't. The sight that greeted me was a horrific one if I've ever seen any, blood and body parts were everywhere and Jermaine's body laid battered and bruised in a corner but the worst of all was the sight of Alessandro cradling Rosalyn into his arms with a bullet lodged in her chest, the sight froze me immediately.

He was crying, begging her not to leave him but her breathing was getting shallower by the second and soon after she closed her eyes. Alessandro let out a loud howl filled with so much pain it was unbearable to hear however, something changed as a single tear fell from his eye it was then I realized Xavier had taken over Alessandro's body probably to shield him from the pain, then, something about him seemed different.

I gasped in surprise of the colour of his eyes, they were pitch black instead if the glowing yellow or blood red color they should have when a wolf takes full control. he turned to look at me, I could see all the anger pain hatred and bloodlust in his eyes and for a moment I feared my own nephew but then before I could do anything else he turned, jumped out the window and bolted into the forest. I contemplated going after him but then I remembered my dying sister on the ground so I rushed to her side. Her heart beat was so low if not for my werewolf hearing I would have taught she was dead, I know Alessandro would never have left his mother if he knew there was a chance she could survive but the way he looked it was obvious he wasn't in the right state of mind to notice hence as his uncle and Rosalyn's big brother it is my duty to keep her alive.

I quickly mind link the doctor that was with our group as well as the alpha to let them know what I found. I had initially taught Jermaine was dead from the way he looked but whilst attending to Rosalyn I heard his faint breathing and knew he was alive just unconscious. I went to search the house and found a lab with all the necessary equipment for doctor to operate on Rosalyn. I rushed back to the room to find the others taking in the state of the massive room in shock, I instructed two of the warriors to accompany the doctor to the lab giving the doctor the space he needed and leaving my sister's life in his capable hands.

After Rosalyn and Jermaine were taken to the lab I went back inside the room intent on atleast finding some clues as to what the hell happened here. One of the warriors from my sister's pack came up to me and said

"Beta micheal we found Rosalyn and her mate but no one has seen Alessandro and we're sure he was the first person to enter the house"

I sighed as the last image of my nephew flashed through my mind "I'll tell you everything i know soon ok I just need a minute to process what I've seen today and Alessandro is fine atleast for now"

He nodded and went back to his fellow pack mates as they took in the room, I was looking at the face of the man who's head was severed from his body when someone yelled

"Guys there's a lady over here and I think she's alive"

I turned looking in the direction of the voice, I had been so busy with Rosalyn and Jermaine I hadn't realised there was someone else in here. I rushed over to the far left corner of the room to see a bloodied battered woman who looked like she was in her early fifties sitting in what looked like a torture chair. Her face seemed some how familiar to me but I couldn't tell how, I stepped closer moving a strand of blood soaked hair from her face. The moment I lifted the hair my heart stopped, black dots started taking over my vision and and I felt extremely dizzy. I felt alpha black grab my shoulders to steady my movements as I was stumbling but that didn't stop the darkness from taking over, my last thought being

What are you doing here?

Mom!!

End of flashback

I shook my head trying to get those images from my head I hated thinking about that day because it reminded me that I was unable to protect my family but I detested thinking about it mostly because it reminded me of that traitorous bitch I once called my mother. When we had first found her, the condition she was in led me to believe she was a captive as well until Jermaine woke up and told us how she and her lover was the reason for all this we also learned that she was the one who had Mrs Carmichael poisoning dad.

The men of the Carmichael family had always been this pack's doctor the only exception being Mrs Carmichael seeing as she was a doctor in her old pack which was attacked a few month before we found her she was the only survivor or so we thought turns out she worked for Evans all along and when she found out that our resident doctor was her mate she used that to get close to our pack as a spy for Evans and Nora. Her husband was already our head doctor and since he had no qualms about her joining our medical team the alpha granted her request. I had enlisted her help in caring for my father after he got ill so she had all the access she needed to poison him daily, she was also the one was adding wolfsbane to Izzy's medicine on Kevin's orders. After we found out what she had done her mate rejected her and she was executed for treason, we still haven't been able to find Kevin's whereabouts as well, we know he's alive because his body was never found and Mrs black can still sense him.

As for my so called mother she's rotting in our smallest dirtiest cell where she's tortured daily by yours truly. I wanted to kill her but I thought Rosalyn deserved the honours more so she will suffer until Rosalyn is well enough to deal with her.

I was so lost in my thoughts I hadn't realised that instead of finding Genevieve I actually left the pack house and went outside to sit under the big oak tree in the front of the yard. I was about to get up when I heard someone called out to me in a hushed voice, I turned looking in all directions but didn't see anyone

"Beta micheal am up here" the voice said

I looked up to see one of the young men that accompanied the four elders here.

"What the heck are you doing up in the tree and what do you want am in a really bad mood right now" I asked

"Please keep your voice down I don't want anyone to hear us" he whispered

"Look I know your angry right now but I can give you the answers about your nephew that you need, meet me in the woods by lake in fifteen minutes" he told me then disappeared into the tree
