of fear in Eros’ eyes. “Oh yes, I know where that sadistic bastard is hiding.” I continued.

“He’ll find you first, he’s got the city crawling with men. You will pay for everything.” Eros said.

“He’s known for a decade where to find me. I haven’t been hiding under some rock. I’ve built the strongest pack on this continent and I’m going to take your pack in the north too. I’m going to challenge and kill your bastard son when I’m done with you scar face.” I growled.

“You’re a walking corpse.” Eros snarled.

“Only dead man here is the one I’m looking at. If I don’t kill you, my father will, he hates when you mess up.” I said.

Eros backed slowly out the cockpit and water was starting to flood in, the boat was almost fully submerged. Raven pulled a water bubble up over Eros’ head to drown him and the gun fired. I ducked as the bullet grazed my shoulder.

Leo dropped to the deck with Eros still struggling to breath behind him. Eros gave me a final look of rage, aimed the gun back at Leo and pulled the trigger. Leo fell forward and the life left his eyes. Raven let out a scream, breaking her focus. Eros dropped on the deck, coughing for air. Proving evil doesn’t die so easily, Eros was still alive.

I was standing knee deep in water and picked Eros up by the neck. We were sinking fast. Dom would have liked to torture him a bit, but the water patrols would be heading our way soon and we had a few dead bodies in the water. Eros made a feeble attempt to escape my grip, but I just dug my hand right into his flesh, my claws extended, and I ripped out his throat.

I dropped Eros’ lifeless body into the sea and picked up Leo’s. Leo deserved a proper burial. He was so young and got mixed up in all of this because he was a good friend to my mate. Knox lifted me back up onto the fishing boat and Alexander took Leo’s body. Raven ran to me and buried her sobbing face into my chest. I wrapped my arms around my mate to comfort her and kissed the top of her head. Dom howled in my head at the grief his mate was feeling.

My eyes met with Alec’s who was leaning on Niko to help him stand up. He looked horrible. A wolf has quick healing, but Alec looked like he was struggling. “Are you okay?” I asked.

“Yes, just a little wolfbane injections to keep us weak. They gave them to all of us.” He said.

I found Knox still holding Rocky, she appeared to be in the same shape as Alec, but obviously distraught over the loss of Leo. He held her close into his chest while she sobbed.

“Rocky, we’re going to need to take Leo back to your pack. I’m going to call Alpha Georgios and explain everything.” I said.

“Rocky, oh Goddess Rocky.” Raven said as she lifted her head off my chest.  She had just realized that Rocky was on the boat with us. She turned around and walked towards Rocky, when she reached out to hug her, Knox let out a possessive growl.

 

Chapter 27 – Conference

The sinking yacht attracted lots of attention from surrounding watercrafts and the water patrols raced passed us to the location. We returned to the marina on the research institutes boat with our warriors and Leo’s body. Kosta was waiting for us with a few men of his own, he directed us inside the research lab.

“I’ve brought Dr. Homer with me, in case he was needed.” Kosta told Dimitri.

“Thank you Kosta. I’m afraid we’ve lost Leo and need to make arrangements to transport him back to his pack. Dr. Homer should look over Rocky and Alec first, it appears they’ve been injected with wolfbane.” Dimitri instructed.

“Of course, Knox, please take Rocky into the next room, so Dr. Homer can evaluate her.” Kosta said.

Knox just clung tighter to Rocky, his eyes dark and growled, “MINE.”

“It’s okay, I’m a mated wolf.” Dr. Homer told us and pulled his shirt collar down exposing his mate mark on the lower neck.

“Knox, I’m sure you can go with her. Dr. Homer only wants to help her.” I told Knox.

“Rocky, this is my oldest brother, the future Alpha of Crescent Moon pack, Knox LaRue. Knox, this is Rocky Onassis, future Beta of Zeus’s Howlers.”

Rocky looked up at Knox with tears still glistening in her eyes. “It’s actually Raquel, but I prefer Rocky.” She told him.

Knox’s eyes filled with so much emotion when his mate spoke to him for the first time. “What’s your wolf’s name?” He asked.

“It’s Reign. What’s yours?”

“Knight. As in your Knight in shining fur.” He smiled silly and Rocky managed a faint smile.

It was a really sweet moment that calmed Knox down. He picked Rocky up and followed Dr. Homer into the other room with her. Knox was an exact replica of my overprotective father.

“It’s probably time to call my father and explain everything.” The room stood silent for a moment.

“We also need to call Alpha Georgios.” Dimitri said breaking the silence.

“There’s video conference equipment upstairs we can use. Once Rocky is done we can get started. I’ll go call Alpha LaRue and Alpha Georgios so they’re ready for the video conference.” Kosta said.

Twenty minutes later, Knox carried Rocky upstairs to join us. “Dr. Homer said the wolfbane will work its way out of her system in the next day or two, she just needs to rest.” Knox told us.

“Are we ready
