The Alphas’ P**n Star Mate

Miles POV

"You're sure it was him?" Mick asked Lenny.

We were all gathered, all the Broom Stixxx men, Rodger and my men as well. Lenny and the fox shifter, Kai, had just gotten back to the pack and had Rodger call this meeting, saying it was urgent.

Lenny took his phone from his pocket and started to pass it around the table. When it got to Billy and Darren, Darren's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's Mr. Smith. That's that mother fucker for sure."

"Really?" Billy took his time studying the image on the phone. "I thought he would be older."

"Nope, that's definitely him." Darren exchanged a look with Kai. "Did he see you?"

Kai looked nervously at Rodger, then back at Darren before shaking his head.

I leaned forward and snatched the phone from my Gamma's hand, eager to see what we were up against. Mick leaned over to stare at the phone with me. The picture was a bit blurry from zooming in, but the middle eastern man was identifiable enough among all the others around him. His clothes were out of place, even for a common human. He was dressed like a villain in one of those old films, with a crisp suit and brimmed hat.

This was the man that was after our mate?

"That's not all," Lenny sat back, then nodded at his phone. "Flip to the right."

I did as he said, then Ivar growled lowly in my chest, seeing the next picture on the camera roll. "This is your missing friend. What is he doing there?"

"What?" Beau popped his head up, exchanging a confused look with Jamie and then Alexi before getting up to go around the table, looking over my shoulder at the phone. "Boyd?! What the hell is he....". His eyes widened after flicking to the next picture. There was a red-headed man, massive in build, standing beside a petite woman with hair down to her waist. "No... That's.... That's Alpha Ford and Luna Laura."

"No way," Jamie said, him and Alexi getting up to crowd me too. Ivar was already irritated. We'd been on edge since our mate had yet to wake up, and I had to pass off the phone to Mick to keep my irritation from showing.

"Was that asshole helping them?!" Mick growled, gripping the phone so tightly I was scared he was going to break it.

"He's tied up," Alexi pointed to the screen, sounding offended. "Obviously not."

"It wouldn't be the first time Luna Laura tied one of us up for fun," Jamie muttered darkly, a cold look in his eyes. He was looking at the woman with so much hatred, it made me curious as to why.

"Boyd wasn't there by choice," Kai said. "We didn't see him for long, but for the ten minutes he was outside, it was clear he had been kidnapped."

"Keep flipping through the pictures," Lenny said.

Mick did what he asked, then growled. I grabbed the phone and turned it to where I could see what he was looking at. The red-haired giant had Boyd by the throat, gripping him a foot off the ground with his canines extended. Mick flipped to the next picture, and Boyd was on the ground in a fetal position, clutching his abdomen.

"Mr. Smith asked Boyd about Chloe's routine in the pack, and Boyd told him to fuck off. He then asked about you two as her mates, asking if she was happy, and he said 'sure as shit if I know'. Then that woman asked Boyd if Chloe was prettier than her, and Boyd said 'She sure as hell doesn't have your nasty ass personality, so yes'. That was what triggered the Alpha. The Alpha knocked him out soon after that picture was taken and Boyd's lifeless body was dragged back inside. He didn't come back outside after that. We waited three days." "Did they kill him?" Winnie looked at Lenny with fear in his eyes.

"No. We knew he was alive because of conversations we overheard, but they're keeping him locked up for now."

"How the hell did that psychotic bitch find him?" Jamie sneered.

Beau took the phone from Mick and was zooming in on the pictures with a concerned look on his face. There was so much sadness there in all three of the rogue werewolves.

"We have to get him back!" Winnie whined, his eyes shining angrily from where he was sitting beside Rodger and Cindy. "We have to!"

"We will, Win," Cindy rubbed Winnie's shoulder. "We will. Calm down or your tail will come out again."

"But, how?" Riley asked. He looked up at his werebear mate with eyes full of concern. "If that's the Alpha that broke into this pack, we can't just go there and take Boyd back. That dog was crazy. He was like, on all the steroids and crack at the same time." "Chloe can win against him," Dave offered to his concerned mate.

"NO!" I and several others said at once.

Mick snarled at his werebear friend. "She's still not awake from the first attack, and you want her to fight the beast again?!"

"I don't want her to. I'm just pointing out that she can."

"No," Rodger shook his head vehemently. "She's not fighting that dark magic again. Not if I can help it."

"Speaking of dark magic, did you two figure out where that came from? Who was it that put the spell on the red Alpha?" Dez asked with his arms crossed over his chest.

"No, not yet," Kai grimaced. "I didn't detect it outright from any of the people we saw, and we didn't see magic being used."

"We had to stay far away to avoid detection though," Lenny added. "The warriors that were there started to bring truck loads of paint and painting supplies, and it looked like a construction zone. There wasn't much happening, which was why we chose to come back now and give our report before they finished painting, or whatever the hell was going on."

"They were painting?" Alexi said, confused.

"Seems so," Lenny shrugged. "The warriors weren't thrilled about it from what we overheard. They complained about painting the walls of a hotel they wouldn't be at for too much longer. Called it a waste of money and said stuff like 'no wonder the pack is broke"."

"That woman demanded the walls be painted," Kai shook his head like he disapproved. "I haven't been around Lunas besides Chloe, but I hope that woman isn't the norm. Their members hated her and their Alpha. It was all they talked about when the Luna and Alpha weren't around."

"Alpha Ford used to be well-liked by most in the pack," Jamie said. "We didn't even mind him. We worked right under him in the elite warriors until Luna Laura fucked over Boyd."

"What do you mean, she fucked over Boyd?" I asked. "What did she do?"

Jamie looked at Beau, and Beau nodded, like he was urging Jamie to speak.

"Luna Laura was Boyd's fated mate. She screwed with Boyd, led him along, and then left him without even a rejection to mate with the Alpha."
