The Pack's Nemesis (Quirin's Story) novel Chapter 59

Quirin

Life is about as perfect as it could be. Well, besides still needing to treat our pack lands to get rid of the silver and dealing with Slater who is set to get out of the cells tomorrow, my life is better than I ever thought it could be. And it’s all thanks to that little mate of mine.

True to his word, Alpha Warren sent me some information on how I could treat our pack lands to eliminate the silver. I’d looked it over and while he was right about it being expensive, it looks like it would work. Now it’s more about disposing of Jasper’s silver powder supply and then starting the long, arduous job of clearing the silver from my land.

When my scouts return, letting me know that they think they’ve found Jasper’s supply. I’m even more excited.

“Where is it?” I ask.

“He’s got this barn looking structure on his pack lands. We were able to sneak in and get to the barn. It looks like they have the silver powder laid out in enclosed trays. I’m guessing that they bring them when the come to attack and then the pack members shift and step in it,” one scout says.

“Yeah, they have these on the wall. I’m guessing they put them on before they step in the silver to protect the pads of the wolves‘ paws,” another scout says, tossing something that looks like a fingerless glove for a wolf onto my desk.

I pick it up and hiss as I feel the residual silver on the glove. “I’d say you’re right. Good work. So what we really need to do is start a fire and let that silver combust in the barn,” I say.

“I didn’t think silver was flammable,” Kier says. I wanted him to be part of this conversation so we can decide on our next

steps.

“It isn’t in solid form, but it is in powder form. I’m guessing Jasper didn’t think about that,” I say, giving him a vicious smile.

“Well, I think it’s about time that Jasper got a taste of his own medicine,” Kier says.

I look at my scouts. “Take the night off. Your Beta and I will decide how we want to proceed.”

“Thank you, Alpha,” they say before walking out.

“Did you want to talk about this now or after dinner?” Kier asks.

I look at the time. “After dinner. We need to get to warrior training.”

We finish afternoon warrior training and head inside as the food begins to come out. I look around, expecting to see Kennedy, but she’s not back yet.

“I’m going to take a shower before Kennedy arrives,” I tell Kier, turning to go upstairs.

I stop dead in my tracks as my mate walks in, fury and power unlike anything I’ve ever felt before are rolling off of her in

waves.

“Where the fuck is he?” she snarls.

“Kennedy, what happened,” I ask her. In all the years I’ve known her, I’ve never, ever seen Kennedy this angry before. I didn’t know that she even possessed this level of fury. What I feel coming from her is my level of dark fury. It’s so far from her bright light that I feel a trickle of fear slither down my spine. It’s not fear of her, it’s fear that I was right and my darkness has

taken her over.

She ignores me and walks into the dining hall. “You,” she snarls. Every single warrior in the room yelps with the strength of her anger, all of their necks rising in submission.

“You raped that girl. You knew she didn’t want you, but you just wouldn’t take no for an answer,” she snarls at Arlo.

What the fuck?

“Is that what she told you? She’s lying. She wanted it,” he says. Somehow, even in the submissive state that Echo is demanding, he sounds cocky. I notice that Kier is also submitting to her and even Raif feels the power of her anger and Alpha command, although he’s refusing to submit to her under these conditions.

However, the omegas in the room are unaffected, as is Lane. She’s excluding them from her anger. I look at him and he gives me a look that tells me that he’s sorry for not telling me, but he was following Kennedy’s order.

“Who?‘ I ask him.

The omega, Christy. It’s bad, Alpha. Really bad. Luna’s been stitching her up for hours.

I clench my fists, furious that anyone felt they could hurt another pack member like this.

“You left her to die! She nearly bled out overnight,” she snarls.

“Everyone knows virgins bleed like stuck pigs. You sure did. We all saw the sheets the night Alpha brought you home,” he growls. Echo instantly pushes her aura more strongly over him as Raif snarls at his mention of that first night. The few warriors who were standing on their feet fall to their knees.

“Kennedy,” I say, trying to get hold of the situation. However, she spins around, her fury now directed at me. She slaps her hand against my chest with enough power that I rock back on my heels and have to fight not to step back.

“You all think you’re so strong and that’s all that matters? You think my omegas are less than you just because they aren’t warriors? Well, I’d like to see you survive without my omegas taking care of all of you. You think you’re so fantastic, then you

“I want him gone,” she says, spinning on her feet and walking out. “Omegas, you’re with me.”

As soon as she steps out of the room, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, their necks coming back to normal. I watch her as she walks away.
