His Spirit Wolf

Anna’s POV~

Brady and I reached the cells and it was horrible. The stench was overwhelming..and I just started calling out Victoria’s name until a little voice tells me where she is. We run around a corner, and there is the entire family..all four locked in a tiny cell! I am livid!

I notice Victoria and Benjamin are injured..Opening the cell, I run to her first..I tell Brady to get Xavier down here at once. I stretch my hands out, reading her injuries. She’s crying and the little boy is cowering in his momma’s lap. I heal a broken arm and two fractured ribs. Leaving her bruises as evidence of the cruelty she’d endured.

Standing, I step closer to Benjamin and in reading his injuries, I realize he has head trauma and begin to heal him. When I see his eyes start to flutter open, I send a wave of calm over the family. I explain why we are here and who we are. Xavier rushes in and grabs his mate into his arms. Brady tells me the other six people in the cells are in similar circumstances. We release them and get outside…helping them to rest on the ground…needing the fresh air.

Marcus runs up to us “These people are in a bad way! The majority of them are underfed..dirty.. for the love of our Goddess, they are wearing mostly rags!” I feel a wave of rage so intense, the ground shakes. I tell Brady to let them know they are safe now. And why we are here.. I run off to find Falcon.

Inside the pack house, I run into Beta Jackson, I ask him if he has seen my mate. He responds “The last I saw him, he was dragging George to the office. I was hoping he would kill him” My eyes widen “Whoaaa! Talk to me, Jackson! What’s happening here? Has George always run the pack this way? Your people are hungry! Wearing rags… This is not the way to take care of your pack. Why have you not aided them?”

He looks at me with sad eyes “We aren’t allowed. We are told they are servants…they owe the pack. We are under Alpha Command to follow George’s edicts. I would change it all, if I could.” Looking at him and feeling his aura “You are alpha born…second son? Are you related to George?” He nods “Brother” umm…so Wow! Didn’t see that coming!

“What would you do here, Jackson? How would you change the way this pack is run?” He stood, pacing “I would change Everything! No indentures…no slaves or servants! My people would have freedom to pursue careers outside the pack..they wouldn’t be hungry or dirty! They’d have access to what the pack can provide.” Watching him, I see he is adamant…has given this a lot of thought “Follow me! We are rectifying this situation “

Following the scent of my mate..I open the office door and storm in. Falcon has George pinned against the wall, threatening to snap his neck. “ Falcon…I have an idea!” He spins on me and his eyes are alight with absolute fury! Walking over, I wrap my arms around his waist and he releases George to bury his face in my scent.. We stand like that a few minutes.. abd I rub his back, as he calms down.

I walk him over to a chair and we sit. “George…your reign of terror has ended! You have absolutely no business running this pack! You are riding the coattails of your father….and have done nothing for the betterment of your people. You have two choices…you transfer your title to your brother…or I kill you. I will give you a couple minutes to decide! Bear in mind, you have broken several of the laws of our people! That stops today! You will retire and Jackson will take over! My mate and I will oversee the exchange of power and he will decide whether you stay or go.”

Falcon links 🐺 how did you figure this out in a half hour? That’s amazing! 🐺 There’s almost 300 people out there that need something positive to build on. And, we are in no position to provide for that number of people on such short notice. Jackson will be good to them…and we can monitor him, until he finds his footing”

Falcon tells George “What’s it going to be, George? Frankly, I hope you choose option two!” He raises his head “I have no choice! Either I relinquish my title or I die! Hardly an option!” I smile and say “Great! Let’s see how the people feel! Come on, time’s a’wastin’! These people need some hope!”

Outside, we allow George the podium “Rockie Moon Pack..effective immediately, I am abdicating my title of Alpha…and Jackson Waite is taking over…you are given the option of remaining here…in your homes…or relocating to another pack.” He transferred power to his brother, in clasping blooded palms. And Jackson stepped to the front “As of now…there is no slavery, indentured servants or Omega ranks! We are one people! If you wish to stay…know that everything will change…Today!…if you choose transfer, I will help you find placement! I apologize for all the ill treatment you have endured for so long… either under my father, or my brother! Please believe me when I say..that all ends Now!!”

The crowd went wild! A wave of pure joy flooded the pack. Some people were in tears…others laughing. Xavier walked over to us and asked if our offer to him and his family still stands and Falcon smiled at him “Xavier, it will be our pleasure to have your family join ours! I have already arranged two cottages close to one another so that they may all heal and flourish. We will find job placements, so that they can earn an income and learnto live again! I would like an audience with your father-in-law, as soon as he is completely healed.”

We stayed a few hours, Falcon going over everything Jackson will need to find his footing. When we departed, I felt good about the changes happening here! I believe they have a bright future now!
