                    Reagan’s POV
I swear I hate Eloise with a passion. She is attacking my babies, and Aaron is an i***t for defending her. I had proof of her actions, for the last few years.
There were scratches, cuts, and mysterious bruises. She always had an excuse for why they had the injuries but never once was it ever her fault.
Our oldest child, Trevor, was seriously injured yesterday, he could have been killed by her, and still, Aaron did nothing.
I had video proof of what she had done to Trevor, Henry, and even Jon on several occasions, but he refused to look at them.
They are his own flesh and blood, and he does love them, but he is all talk and no action against her, six years later. I honestly believe that she is willing and able to kill my children with Aaron.
Her only goal is for her son Austin to become Alpha here at Blood Tracker. I can’t let her take it that far. The gloves are off now.
I will not stand back and allow her to get another shot at my babies.
Trevor’s arm was broken by her when she shoved him down the last flight of stairs in the packhouse when they were coming down to dinner last night.
She said that he “Must have tripped as he was running down the stairs.” He is almost 10 years old, and he is not clumsy, he is a strong little wolf, but I cannot allow our babies to stay here in the packhouse with the danger against them, increasing all the time.
I know that he will not act until something truly horrible happens, like her being successful in killing one of them. I have Trevor resting at my home now. I am coming here to get my other babies now.
I will not leave any of them here to be hurt by her anymore. If I have to there will be bunk beds in all of my bedrooms to house my children.
I will get dad to have an addition built onto my house if I need to, but that b***h will never be getting her hands on any of my children again.
I knocked on the door to Aaron’s office but knew that it was going to be a minute. I could hear him and Eloise going at it inside.
She managed to give him two pups, but since having their youngest, Anaise, she had not been able to get pregnant again. It has now been 5 years, and she is really angry about it.
Why she is angry with me is a complete mystery. I stay in my home. I don’t come to the packhouse unless I have to.
Why she would blame me at all for her not being able to get pregnant anymore is just stupid. I could care less about her and her babies. None of them matter to me, only my pups mattered to me.
I want to see the video of what happened to Trevor, and then I will straighten this whole thing out.
I already know what happened because Trevor had told me, but I wanted to see it, so I can confront Aaron about it.
He won’t care, but it should be enough for him to realize that she won’t stop until she has killed one, or more of our pups.
Ten minutes later the door opens and Eloise stepped into the hallway, with a big smile on her face. She seems smug, and I believe I already know why.
She came here because she knew I was coming, and wanted him to take care of, and protect her again. I had told him I was coming last night, and he probably relayed it to her.
The last time she hurt one of my pups I told her that I would take them back so she couldn’t get her hands on them again.
She is trying to butter Aaron up to side with her on this, and I could care less. She can have s*x with him on the desk while I am speaking to him for all I care.
Their relationship doesn’t matter to me. I do not want him at all. I have Clive, and I do not want to have a s****l relationship with Aaron anymore.
The lack of care for our children that he has shown for the last 6 years since he found her, has completely soured my opinion of him. He wanted strong pups, and I gave them to him.
It was his job to protect them now, he promised me that he would. He swore that he would protect them, and he lied to me.
I am just glad that the nanny knows how Eloise is and she keeps our youngest daughter away from her. She is only five and a half now, she is not used to people wanting to hurt her.
“So sorry for the wait, you caught us in the middle of something,” Eloise said to me with a smirk. “No problem, Eloise. I just needed to speak to Aaron about something. I won’t be long.
But you are welcome to stay here with us. I know that you don’t like me being around him” I told her, and she seemed surprised by what I said.
I think she still has it in her head that I want Aaron, and I do not. Clive and I love each other and he is the one that I want. She forgets that I was literally sold to Aaron, by Blake.
That I can’t leave here because people are still actively looking for me and my family. We were never in a relationship. He just likes me as I provided him with the pups that he wanted.
Nothing more, nothing less than that. She has it built up in her head that I still wanted to sleep with Aaron, but he kept his word, and after finding his mate, we have not been together again.
“I appreciate the offer, but I have some things to plan. I will see you later” Eloise said.
“If your “planning” includes hurting any of my pups again, I would suggest to you that you stop, and think before you do anything else stupid. They will not be staying here anymore.
They will be coming out to my home to live now, all thanks to you. It is clear that Aaron cannot keep them safe from you. So, I will be the one to have to protect them until they get to adulthood.
He, and you as well, are always welcome to come out and visit with them at my home. If you are there I am afraid that I will have to insist on the visit being supervised.
I just won’t take a chance on my babies being hurt, because you want your son to inherit the pack. Having Aaron’s children was my job, not a relationship.
You are jealous over things that Aaron himself chose to do. Your anger is aimed at the wrong people. Leave my pups alone, or there will be consequences for your actions” I told her in a calm tone.
I was not bluffing, and I didn’t threaten her. She is the Luna, and I know the rules, very well. That said, I know my way around the rules too. It was a threat, but only if she came for my pups again.
If she leaves them alone, there will be no further problems between us. I knew full well she had come at my appointment time to give her side of the story to Aaron.
Then had s*x with him so he would be in a good mood, and to sweeten the deal. She is his mate, and he wants to believe her. I don’t, I believe my son, who is a good person and has never lied to me.
I knew that she had left the door to his office open deliberately. I know her, she is never nice to me. She is abrupt, and hateful in all of our exchanges.
Her being pleasant, tipped me off, and I saw that the door was open. I wanted him to hear what I said.
I wanted him to know that her actions will have consequences for him now that she is running amuck. “What are you talking about, Reagan?” I heard Aaron say from inside the office.
He is hiding in there because he knows that I am furious about what happened to Trevor. He doesn’t want Eloise to be mad at him. She controls him, and it is a shame that he allows her to do it.
“You heard me clearly, Aaron. I didn’t stutter, and I didn’t whisper. I already knew you were listening in on our conversation when she spoke to me with courtesy.
She usually speaks to me very ugly, so it isn’t hard to figure out why she was being nice this one time. You will not stop her, so apparently I have to.
I will not allow my pups to be hurt, or killed by her, so her wimpy kid can be Alpha. Austin is almost 6 years old, and more of a crybaby than my youngest pup.
She will do anything to make that happen, and your pack will be destroyed at that time.
Your mate is an ugly and vindictive woman, and I will not stand back and allow her to continue what she is doing” I looked Eloise dead in the face as I spoke.
She tried to act like she wasn’t scared, but I can smell the fear coming off of her. She honestly didn’t think I knew, I have known this whole time. As I said, they really are not that bright.
I was waiting on him to join in the conversation. I knew he was listening, but he is so scared of pissing her off, that he just lets her do whatever she wants.
The irony of this situation is not lost on me. I was Eloise in my prior life. Raven was hurt and abused in that same life.
I know that the Goddess is trying to teach me some life lessons here, but I just can’t when it comes to my babies.
I do not know how mom managed to not lose it on dad for allowing the pack members, and me, to do what we did to Raven.
She must either have amazing control of her emotions or just didn’t give a s**t about Raven. Maybe it was a little of both, but that was over and done with now.
I have pressing matters to speak to him about. He needs to stop being a wuss when it comes to Eloise, or I will fight her. He knows better than to let it get that far.
“I have never put my hands on your children. That is a blatant lie” Eloise said and turned to give her puppy dog eyes at Aaron, who was now at his office door.
Her pout is exaggerated, and she is acting like she is going to cry.
“I think he gets it from his mom, so Austin might just become a good actor, like his mom,” I said with my tone dripping with sarcasm.
“Reagan, you need to remember your place, and speak with respect to your Luna,” Aaron said with anger in his tone. “I do remember my place, Aaron. I was the breeder you wanted to give you strong pups.
I will not sit back and let this horrible woman kill one of my pups before you realize what a snake you have received as a mate” I replied back to him
“What are you talking about?
Eloise was there, she said that Trevor fell while running on the stairs. She didn’t do anything to him.
I believe her, he is a fast little guy, and he probably was running on the stairs” Aaron said to me. “Yes, you believe her again. That is the very problem that I am here to visit with you about.
Because I happen to believe my son, who told me that he was shoved by her on the stairs causing him to fall.
Instead of listening to either one of them, how about we just review the video from yesterday on the stairwell? That is what I would have done. Video doesn’t lie, and it doesn’t take sides.
I know we have camera’s there, but maybe Eloise didn’t” I said to them both. I watched her pale at the mention of us reviewing what actually happened yesterday.
I saw her tense up, and I know Aaron felt it, as he looked down at her. But still, he said nothing. He was taking her side in it, he was not going to do anything about it yet again.
“I will look into it myself. I will get back to you on it” Aaron said, and she relaxed into his side and gave me a smug smile. “Well, that is going to be a problem for me, Aaron.
You know I don’t come to the packhouse, as it brings back some really bad memories.
I am willing to take the nightmares that I know are coming from this visit to the Alpha floor, to come and help my children pack up to come and live with me in my home.
I have to protect them, even if you won’t.
I will have my dad come out with an architect and have my home increased to accommodate everyone, but they will all be coming home with me today” I told him, and now he stiffened up at my words.
“I will not let you take my children away from me, Reagan. They are fine here. I told you that I would investigate it, and get back to you on it. You can trust me.
they are my children too, and I have protected them for years” Aaron said. “I trust you more than I trust her, but since my trust in her is zero, I just can’t take the risk.
You heard me, you can come and see them whenever you want. The only stipulation I have is that when she is with you, the nanny, Clive, or I have to be present.
I only have our pup’s best interest at heart. You are busy all of the time. It is more of a power thing, to just possess them and have them here, than wanting to actually spend time with them.
You can come to my house when you have some downtime to be able to see them. I am not running away with them.
I am protecting them, from an actual threat” I told him, and my voice is colder than ice to him now.
“Just let me check it out myself, I promise you, Reagan, that I will be impartial,” Aaron said, and Eloise stiffened up again.
I kept my focus on her, to let him know that even though he felt it, I saw it. She knows she did wrong and is terrified of him seeing her in action.
“How about we all go in there, right now, and watch it together, Aaron? No need to investigate. No need to waste my time, or come up with even more excuses, like I know you will.
I will not be leaving the packhouse without my children. Seems like you have plenty of time to stand here in the hallway and argue, so let’s step into the office and just check real quick.
We both know that this will take about 3 to 5 minutes for you to find it, and we can all watch it. No need to discuss it anymore. She was scared to death when you first mentioned the investigation.
Her reaction, both times, was not lost on you or me. You already know, right now, that she did it. Before you can even see the video if you haven’t already watched it.
But I would like for us all to go ahead and take a look at it, together” I told him. I am using my alpha tone. I have never pulled it out here at Blood Tracker.
I have been held down, ignored, and suppressed for too freaking long. I can take it when it is my punishment, but I will be damned if my babies get hurt by this b***h again.
“I will do it myself, Reagan. You can rest assured that it will be dealt with if anything intentional happened to Trevor.
I can promise you that” Aaron said quietly to me, trying to calm me down, but we are way past that now. “Like you dealt with all the other incidents, Aaron? All their many injuries.
Injuries that I noted the time, date, and what she did. I took photographs of all of them, Aaron. I am done playing nice. I did that for a while and it got me and my children nowhere.
I trusted you to handle it. But you never did. You value her, over your own offspring. The very offspring that you insisted that you had to have to run this pack after you stepped down.
You wanted strong heirs to make the pack grow, and become even stronger. But you didn’t protect them.
You might have started off trying to fix it for them, but you can’t, because when it comes to her, or your pups, you have always chosen her.
That is fine, you can choose her, you just need to let me take our children away before she does something that can’t be fixed the next time. She will not be stopping until one of them is really hurt.
You will either go look at the video now, in front of both of us, or I will have to take my children out of here today” I told him, and he stiffened up. I was challenging him, and he did not like it.
“Reagan do not forget your place. You have no way to command me to do anything. I will deal with it, just go back to your home, and I will check on it myself.
I promise you that if what Trevor said was correct. I will deal with it” Aaron said, and he was imploring me to listen.
He wanted this to go away, and he probably would warn her, finally, after all this time. But I will not agree with it.
I am done now, they are not safe here, and they can only be safe with me and Clive. I know that now. She is furious and glaring at me for pushing the issue.
She is a mother, and I can tell you right now that if I put one hand on her son or daughter, she would scream this place down. I would be put in a cell somewhere, and not released for a while.
I would be beaten until Aaron came to check on me himself. I see the smirk come back up at what he had said.
She already knows that he will sweep this under the rug, just like the other times I have come out here. There are forgetting that the gloves are off now. I am done with them both.
They forget that I know the rules of the pack, inside and out, and neither one of them, are smarter than I am.
Eloise wants to see what happens when you f**k with my pups, then I hope that she enjoys the show, because we have had people eavesdropping on our conversation this whole time.
I know that by tonight this will have raced through the pack, and I almost can’t stop the smile from crossing my face, at them being stupid enough to hold this conversation in the hallway for all to hear.
That was really stupid on their part.
“Aaron you will either let us all watch the video together, and allow me to take my pups to my home now, or there will be consequences today for it,” I told him, and his mouth dropped open in shock.
It was a direct threat, and I didn’t pull my punch. “Yea, OK. I can’t see where you have any room to argue with me on this.
You need to stop now, or you will be the one who is facing consequences” Aaron said back to me.
“You leave me no choice, I didn’t want to have to do this, but I, Reagan Sullivan, Breeder for the Blood Tracker pack, challenge you, Eloise Daniels, current Luna of the Blood Tracker pack, to fight to the death for the position of Luna.
I will see you out on the training grounds today at 5 p.m.” I told them.
I am enjoying watching the blood drain from both their faces, as Aaron now clues in on just how deadly serious I truly am about this. Chapter 100
Reagan’s POV
The look on her face was priceless.
She knows that my wolf, Lena, will be ripping her apart, in no uncertain terms. She doesn’t train, she depends on Aaron to protect her.
What she doesn’t realize right now, is that I am mad enough to fight with him, to get to her.
I am willing to take my chances on the outcome of fighting with him, it may not be to the death, but we will both be getting hurt in the fight.
After I got attacked, I never wanted to be defenseless again. It was truly a nightmare that night, and I believed that I was going to die. I threw myself into training after that.
Clive is one of the best fighters here at Blood Tracker. He oversaw all of my training, and I didn’t stop, until I could protect myself from at least two adversaries.
I even trained while I was pregnant. I was never going to let myself be in the position of being vulnerable again.
I haven’t, and I had gone back to training two weeks after giving birth, each and every time. It helped me keep my figure, and I learned that I can work around pain very well.
I may not be popular here, but I am strong, and I am tough. No one wants to challenge me anymore from the women here, and I spar with the men.
I may not win every time, but I give the majority of them a run for their money. I already know what he will do now. He will have to back down, or I will kill his mate.
I will think nothing of it either. She has been a thorn in my side for 6 years. Six years of him deferring to her, allowing her to keep hurting our pups whenever she wanted to.
He thought that I had nothing I could do to her, as she was the Luna, but he was wrong. From the sounds of all the gasps in the hallway, some of them are excited to see it too.
Eloise is not well-liked here, and it is her own fault. She is only kind to Aaron, and the Beta couple, Darren and Judy. I had already spoken to Clive about this before I left today.
This was my last resort to show Aaron just how freaking serious I was about this. This was my Hail Mary pass at the end of the game.
I know that they both knew why I was coming out here to the packhouse. She thought that this was going to be like all the other times, and it wasn’t.
I am officially done, and I am fully intending on ending her today
They both really thought that I was going to let it go, and let it be.
Their wanting to do this outside of the office and ignore my requests over and over again didn’t work out in their favor, at all this time. I was not going to back down again.
Trevor could have broken his neck, instead of his arm as he reached out to stop his fall down to the 1st floor. This ends today, I am good with however they want it to play it out.
All of my cards were on the table, and I won this hand.Either I get my children the hell out from under their roof, or I will be killing his precious mate, tonight.
Those are his options, and I already knew what he was going to choose. He does not want to lose his piece of s**t mate, so I will be packing my children up and bringing them to safety home now.
I am going to tell him that I am bringing the nanny along with them. I am going to need some help with 8 kids all under 10, under one roof. “You can’t challenge me, you are just the breeder here.
You can’t do that” Eloise screeched out. She was almost stuttering in her bad attempt at trying to stop the ball I started rolling. “I can, and I will.
Anyone can challenge Luna for her position, at any time. I have tried and tried to stop you from hurting my pups. You have been doing it since two weeks after you arrived over the last 6 years.
You have gotten progressively worse, and Aaron here hasn’t even tried to stop you at all. Any she-wolf that has had children will understand that I will fight for my pups.
If you think that I will go easy on you, think again. I predict that Lena will have your head ripped from your body in less than a minute, but I personally would like her to toy with you first.
Just like you keep toying with my pups. You are a threat to them, all of them. You hate them, you hate all of my pups with Aaron, and would like nothing more than for them to not exist.
Just because Aaron refuses to watch the videos that I have, or is not willing to see how you really are behind closed doors does not mean that I have no recourse with you.
We can check the pack bylaws book to verify it, but I already know the answer. Do not forget, I am not just a “breeder” I was to be a Luna.
I studied, and I know the rules, and the by-laws, probably better than you do Eloise. The game is now over for you, you have crossed the line with what you did to Trevor yesterday.
Either my children come to live with me, their nanny included.
Or you need to go and have s*x with Aaron again, kiss your pups goodbye, oh, and have a nice meal, because I guarantee that it will be your last” I told her in an almost bored tone.
I wanted her to realize that she was as good as dead in my eyes. She was of no concern to me anymore. Lena will kill her, and Aaron could not step in and stop this for her.
She has crossed me too many times, and since he is not willing to man up, I will do it for him. She will not be getting her hands on my kids again. “I refuse to accept your challenge, Reagan.
I won’t fight you. I am sorry that you think that I did something to Trevor. But I never put my hands on him. I swear I didn’t Aaron” Eloise is now in a panic.
She is clutching at him and trying to get him to protect her. She is too dumb to know that he can’t protect her unless he is willing to give his children up.
I hated to have to flex like this, but I had to. They both left me no other choice. She is scared out of her mind because she knows that I am absolutely serious about what I said, and I am.
Aaron knows it too, and he is trying to figure a way out of it for her, but just because I am no longer a ranked wolf, I can still challenge her.
I am way stronger than her, and she is going to piss herself when she sees Lena coming for her. “That is easy enough to prove, we can all go into the office, and watch the video.
If you didn’t push him, I will even apologize to you for accusing you falsely. But we both know you did it.
You also thought that this was like any of the 20-plus times I have shown up here to complain about the treatment of my babies.
What you didn’t realize is that I am done, you could have killed him yesterday, and I am quite sure that was your actual intent. There is no use discussing it anymore Aaron. Let’s go watch the video.
There is no reason to not watch it together unless Aaron is willing to admit that he is fully aware of how evil you are, and how he allows you to get away with it each and every time.
I am done with this bullshit. Although I do have to say, that after everything you have done to my sons, I am totally OK with killing you” I told her, and I could hear Aaron growl at me.
He was warning me because I threatened her. I did go a little too far, I did just threaten the Luna, but the gauntlet has been thrown down.
My challenge has been issued, and either Aaron backs down and lets me get my children, or he will be losing his Luna today.
I didn’t want to be his Luna, and I had mentioned it when I had told Clive what I was intending on doing. He was worried as he thought that Aaron had a special affection for me.
He was worried that since I was more attractive than Eloise, even with the scar taking some of my beauty away, Aaron might secretly want me back. I didn’t believe that for a second.
He has rose-colored glasses on when it comes to her. She can clearly do no wrong in his eyes, which is why I have to do it this way.
Aaron has a hard choice to make, because as soon as he makes his decision, our pups will know exactly who he values, and sadly it won’t be them.
I hate that they will have to realize that, it was a slap in the face to know that your dad would rather keep a woman who is just fine with hurting small children around him.
Instead of his own flesh and blood, especially the heir to the pack. Who would have ever thought that I would be a good mom? I certainly didn’t.
But with each life that I brought into the world, I just bonded with them. Their needs are greater than mine.
My spoiled days are over, and I was willing to do whatever was needed to make sure that my children had what they needed, and occasionally spoiled with what they wanted.
Usually, my parents did that, and I realized that I was going to have to contact them again, so they know to get presents for the additional four that are now going to be under my roof when they come back to visit.
“Reagan, please, let’s just go into my office, and talk this out. I love my pups, as much as you do.
I do not want to lose them over a misunderstanding between us” Aaron tried to talk to me in a soothing tone. “Oh, now you care about your children.
Well isn’t that a nice surprise, but am not leaving here without my children Aaron. We are not negotiating here.
You have two options, and we already know that you will be choosing to save her, and let them go. It is in their best interest for them to live with me, Aaron.
You know what she has done, even if you are not willing to admit it. She is not going to stop until she really hurts someone, Aaron.
I know that you told her that since you were close to 30 when you found her, you had made arrangements to make sure you had an heir.
I am sure she wasn’t happy about that fact, but you cannot close your eyes to what she is doing.
She is dangerous, and she will keep going and attempting to get rid of our babies until her son is next in line to be Alpha. How is that right? Or fair to any of them?
They are sitting ducks here, I can’t just let them stay, and wait on her to kill them off one at a time. I am their mother, it is my job to protect them too, Aaron.
If you are not willing, or able, to do it, please stop trying to block me from protecting them. You can come to my house any time you want to. I am not leaving the pack with them.
They are staying right here, I am just making sure that they get to be old enough to protect themselves from her” I told him, and pointed right at Eloise.
She growled in fury at me literally calling her out, and we have a crowd now. There are at least 15 people, probably more, standing in the shadows of the hallway.
They are on either end of us in the hallway, watching this play out. I can see Aaron’s face contort in pain, as he really didn’t want to give them up.
He does love them, and before she came here, he took very good care of them. But from almost the moment she arrived, she moved them further down the hall from him.
She made them eat earlier, so he couldn’t see them.
She manipulated his time and got pregnant as quickly as she could, because she really believed as his mate, that it would be her pups who took over the pack.
When she found out differently, she was furious. She is dangerous, and I will not allow this to go on any longer. I tried to do this the nice way. I am done being nice.
“I wish you would reconsider this, Reagan. I would still like to investigate this allegation” Aaron spoke calmer to me, as he now noticed that we were not alone in the hallway.
He knew as well as I did, that the whole pack would not only know about it, but they would all be there for the fight if he didn’t give up our pups to me.
“You can run into your office and investigate all you want. We both know she did it and thought that she would be getting away with it, again. She will not.
Hey, I will go in there with you, as I need to record it for myself, so I can have the documentation of what happened this time too. A copy for my files, if you will.
But even if you “investigate” all day long, it changes nothing. You are either going to lose your pups, or your mate, today. Stop dragging your feet Aaron, we all already know what you chose.
You chose her like you have all the other times that she hurt one of our little ones, and you did nothing about it. Stop acting shocked that I finally had enough.
I know that you will do nothing to her in punishment, even after you watch her push our innocent son down the stair on the video.
At most, you will give her a slap on the wrist, and make her realize to pick a better location for her next attempt. I am not giving that b***h the opportunity. I am done here.
Decide, now, so I can go up and pack my pup’s stuff up and take them home where they can finally be able to rest easy, and not have to sleep with one eye open” I told him.
Aaron really seems upset by my words, like I came up with all of this s**t on my own. He never even asked his kids what happened.
Each and every time I would confront him about an injury, he would take what she said as the truth.
I know because each time I came to his office to speak to him about it, I would wait two to three weeks and then ask them if he has asked them for their side of the story. He never did.
He is the reason that we are here now. If he had cared, he would have nipped this in the bud. Telling her that whatever she did to our pups, would be done to hers. That would have stopped her cold.
I even suggested it, and he got furious at me, for threatening his children with his mate. Like ours weren’t being threatened by her every day.
Either you can, or you can’t threaten children/ If she can do it to mine, I should be able to do it to hers, that is only fair. “I do care about my pups. I love them, Reagan, you don’t understand.
This is killing me” Aaron said and his voice caught with a slight sob. I believe that he loves them. He needs to love them enough, to let me protect him from her. “Aaron, let me ask you this.
You have common sense, so just humor me. With any of the times I came to you with proof of what she did, did you ever once ask any of our children that had been hurt, what happened to them?
Even one time, or did you always ask her?” I scoffed at him, as I pointed in her direction and let him know that I already knew the answer before I asked the question.
“You believed whatever smoke that she wanted to blow up your a*s. I already know the answer Aaron because I did ask them if you had asked.
Each and every time that she would hurt them, you never once asked them if she had hurt them.
Never once did you actually believe what I told you, never once did you take their side over hers, even when you knew she did it. I bet you already watched what happened on the stairs, didn’t you?
I can tell from your expression right now, that you did. I bet the video is gone now, isn’t it? That is why you won’t let me see it. You deleted it to protect her. Wow, that is disgusting.
You call it now, Aaron.
Right f*****g now, because if not, I won’t wait to do it outside, or until 5 p.m. They will be cleaning her blood from this hallway, as I will bring the fight here, right now” I told him, and I was yelling at him by the end.
I see that she knows that Lena is right there. I can feel her power right there pushing out into the hallway.
I can see the crowd taking me at my word and they are moving back away from us, but still staying close enough to watch the show.
I can phase very quickly and I swear to the Goddess that even if he tries to stop me, I will kill her before he can kill me. I will protect my pups to my dying breath, and he sees it in my eyes.
The showdown is now, he will comply with what I am telling him, or I hope that their last time together in his office was good, because I am ending her.
Aaron steps forward with his hands up and palms out towards me and said, “You win, I will let them live with you. Don’t kill her Lena, It is OK.
No one will be hurting your pups anymore.”
It was as much an admission of guilt for their Luna, as they would get.
Everyone present understood that I was right, and she had been hurting my pups to get us here to this moment.
The crowd had been on her side at first, but the whispers were spreading on both sides of the hallway about their Luna. Hurting pups was hugely frowned upon, and completely unacceptable.
They knew what I had been brought here to do. They knew that my pups were strong and that I was completely serious about what I said.
Why Aaron had dicked around so long before letting me have them, was unacceptable. I will discuss that later with him one-on-one. For now, I am happy with getting my babies to safety.
I bet that he watched all of the incidences where she hurt our babies, but he believed her when she said that she would stop. He was an i***t then because she was never planning on stopping.
Only when our boys had all been killed, leaving Austin to take over the pack would she have stopped. She would have left my youngest pup with Aaron, Colette alone.
Since she was a girl, and with their backward a*s pack, she couldn’t be Alpha. That honor would have to go to her mate.
Since she and Austin were so close in age, I am sure that Eloise would have found a reason for Austin to take over the pack. I can actually understand it myself. I did the same thing at Silver Blade.
I know how her heart is. I see her, I know her because I was her. That is why she couldn’t fool me. I didn’t believe her for a second. Was I drastic in getting my kids out of here to protect them?
Yes, I was, but I knew it had to be done. Will Aaron get mad at her and finally punish her for all the bullshit she has done here? Goddess only knows. I am pretty sure that she will get another pass.
I could care less because I won this round. I don’t care if she starts training right now, she will never be as strong as me, Lena will take her apart if it ever comes down to it.
I will not let her off the hook again. If she crosses the line. I will make sure that she never gets another chance to do it again.
I will be sure to give Aaron a heads up on it, as she will have earned every bit of what she is going to get. I felt her fear just now.
She finally felt my full strength as I let my Alpha power loose in the hallway when I warned her that I would kill her right here. Aaron made a bad decision today.
That will be between him and our pups. He will have to tell them that he picked her lying a*s over them, and I won’t poison their mind over it.
He will have to ask for their forgiveness when he finally clues in on what he has done. The boys already felt that he didn’t love them because he didn’t protect them from his mate.
Now that their lives are completely uprooted, and changed, it will be even harder on their relationship. But I did what I needed to protect my pups. I will always put their needs before my own.
I know that this b***h is going to be coming for me. I am OK with it because when she attacks me, I have every right to defend myself. I won’t be reigning Lena in either.
I am going to let Lena do what she needs to so my babies don’t have to look over their shoulders all the time. They will only be safe after she is gone.
I made an enemy today, but she already was, from the moment she arrived. What she doesn’t realize is she has made one out of me too today.
I was going to let her go until she pulled what she did yesterday. I will fight fake b***h, with fake b***h, and we will see who comes out on top.
                
            
        I swear I hate Eloise with a passion. She is attacking my babies, and Aaron is an i***t for defending her. I had proof of her actions, for the last few years.
There were scratches, cuts, and mysterious bruises. She always had an excuse for why they had the injuries but never once was it ever her fault.
Our oldest child, Trevor, was seriously injured yesterday, he could have been killed by her, and still, Aaron did nothing.
I had video proof of what she had done to Trevor, Henry, and even Jon on several occasions, but he refused to look at them.
They are his own flesh and blood, and he does love them, but he is all talk and no action against her, six years later. I honestly believe that she is willing and able to kill my children with Aaron.
Her only goal is for her son Austin to become Alpha here at Blood Tracker. I can’t let her take it that far. The gloves are off now.
I will not stand back and allow her to get another shot at my babies.
Trevor’s arm was broken by her when she shoved him down the last flight of stairs in the packhouse when they were coming down to dinner last night.
She said that he “Must have tripped as he was running down the stairs.” He is almost 10 years old, and he is not clumsy, he is a strong little wolf, but I cannot allow our babies to stay here in the packhouse with the danger against them, increasing all the time.
I know that he will not act until something truly horrible happens, like her being successful in killing one of them. I have Trevor resting at my home now. I am coming here to get my other babies now.
I will not leave any of them here to be hurt by her anymore. If I have to there will be bunk beds in all of my bedrooms to house my children.
I will get dad to have an addition built onto my house if I need to, but that b***h will never be getting her hands on any of my children again.
I knocked on the door to Aaron’s office but knew that it was going to be a minute. I could hear him and Eloise going at it inside.
She managed to give him two pups, but since having their youngest, Anaise, she had not been able to get pregnant again. It has now been 5 years, and she is really angry about it.
Why she is angry with me is a complete mystery. I stay in my home. I don’t come to the packhouse unless I have to.
Why she would blame me at all for her not being able to get pregnant anymore is just stupid. I could care less about her and her babies. None of them matter to me, only my pups mattered to me.
I want to see the video of what happened to Trevor, and then I will straighten this whole thing out.
I already know what happened because Trevor had told me, but I wanted to see it, so I can confront Aaron about it.
He won’t care, but it should be enough for him to realize that she won’t stop until she has killed one, or more of our pups.
Ten minutes later the door opens and Eloise stepped into the hallway, with a big smile on her face. She seems smug, and I believe I already know why.
She came here because she knew I was coming, and wanted him to take care of, and protect her again. I had told him I was coming last night, and he probably relayed it to her.
The last time she hurt one of my pups I told her that I would take them back so she couldn’t get her hands on them again.
She is trying to butter Aaron up to side with her on this, and I could care less. She can have s*x with him on the desk while I am speaking to him for all I care.
Their relationship doesn’t matter to me. I do not want him at all. I have Clive, and I do not want to have a s****l relationship with Aaron anymore.
The lack of care for our children that he has shown for the last 6 years since he found her, has completely soured my opinion of him. He wanted strong pups, and I gave them to him.
It was his job to protect them now, he promised me that he would. He swore that he would protect them, and he lied to me.
I am just glad that the nanny knows how Eloise is and she keeps our youngest daughter away from her. She is only five and a half now, she is not used to people wanting to hurt her.
“So sorry for the wait, you caught us in the middle of something,” Eloise said to me with a smirk. “No problem, Eloise. I just needed to speak to Aaron about something. I won’t be long.
But you are welcome to stay here with us. I know that you don’t like me being around him” I told her, and she seemed surprised by what I said.
I think she still has it in her head that I want Aaron, and I do not. Clive and I love each other and he is the one that I want. She forgets that I was literally sold to Aaron, by Blake.
That I can’t leave here because people are still actively looking for me and my family. We were never in a relationship. He just likes me as I provided him with the pups that he wanted.
Nothing more, nothing less than that. She has it built up in her head that I still wanted to sleep with Aaron, but he kept his word, and after finding his mate, we have not been together again.
“I appreciate the offer, but I have some things to plan. I will see you later” Eloise said.
“If your “planning” includes hurting any of my pups again, I would suggest to you that you stop, and think before you do anything else stupid. They will not be staying here anymore.
They will be coming out to my home to live now, all thanks to you. It is clear that Aaron cannot keep them safe from you. So, I will be the one to have to protect them until they get to adulthood.
He, and you as well, are always welcome to come out and visit with them at my home. If you are there I am afraid that I will have to insist on the visit being supervised.
I just won’t take a chance on my babies being hurt, because you want your son to inherit the pack. Having Aaron’s children was my job, not a relationship.
You are jealous over things that Aaron himself chose to do. Your anger is aimed at the wrong people. Leave my pups alone, or there will be consequences for your actions” I told her in a calm tone.
I was not bluffing, and I didn’t threaten her. She is the Luna, and I know the rules, very well. That said, I know my way around the rules too. It was a threat, but only if she came for my pups again.
If she leaves them alone, there will be no further problems between us. I knew full well she had come at my appointment time to give her side of the story to Aaron.
Then had s*x with him so he would be in a good mood, and to sweeten the deal. She is his mate, and he wants to believe her. I don’t, I believe my son, who is a good person and has never lied to me.
I knew that she had left the door to his office open deliberately. I know her, she is never nice to me. She is abrupt, and hateful in all of our exchanges.
Her being pleasant, tipped me off, and I saw that the door was open. I wanted him to hear what I said.
I wanted him to know that her actions will have consequences for him now that she is running amuck. “What are you talking about, Reagan?” I heard Aaron say from inside the office.
He is hiding in there because he knows that I am furious about what happened to Trevor. He doesn’t want Eloise to be mad at him. She controls him, and it is a shame that he allows her to do it.
“You heard me clearly, Aaron. I didn’t stutter, and I didn’t whisper. I already knew you were listening in on our conversation when she spoke to me with courtesy.
She usually speaks to me very ugly, so it isn’t hard to figure out why she was being nice this one time. You will not stop her, so apparently I have to.
I will not allow my pups to be hurt, or killed by her, so her wimpy kid can be Alpha. Austin is almost 6 years old, and more of a crybaby than my youngest pup.
She will do anything to make that happen, and your pack will be destroyed at that time.
Your mate is an ugly and vindictive woman, and I will not stand back and allow her to continue what she is doing” I looked Eloise dead in the face as I spoke.
She tried to act like she wasn’t scared, but I can smell the fear coming off of her. She honestly didn’t think I knew, I have known this whole time. As I said, they really are not that bright.
I was waiting on him to join in the conversation. I knew he was listening, but he is so scared of pissing her off, that he just lets her do whatever she wants.
The irony of this situation is not lost on me. I was Eloise in my prior life. Raven was hurt and abused in that same life.
I know that the Goddess is trying to teach me some life lessons here, but I just can’t when it comes to my babies.
I do not know how mom managed to not lose it on dad for allowing the pack members, and me, to do what we did to Raven.
She must either have amazing control of her emotions or just didn’t give a s**t about Raven. Maybe it was a little of both, but that was over and done with now.
I have pressing matters to speak to him about. He needs to stop being a wuss when it comes to Eloise, or I will fight her. He knows better than to let it get that far.
“I have never put my hands on your children. That is a blatant lie” Eloise said and turned to give her puppy dog eyes at Aaron, who was now at his office door.
Her pout is exaggerated, and she is acting like she is going to cry.
“I think he gets it from his mom, so Austin might just become a good actor, like his mom,” I said with my tone dripping with sarcasm.
“Reagan, you need to remember your place, and speak with respect to your Luna,” Aaron said with anger in his tone. “I do remember my place, Aaron. I was the breeder you wanted to give you strong pups.
I will not sit back and let this horrible woman kill one of my pups before you realize what a snake you have received as a mate” I replied back to him
“What are you talking about?
Eloise was there, she said that Trevor fell while running on the stairs. She didn’t do anything to him.
I believe her, he is a fast little guy, and he probably was running on the stairs” Aaron said to me. “Yes, you believe her again. That is the very problem that I am here to visit with you about.
Because I happen to believe my son, who told me that he was shoved by her on the stairs causing him to fall.
Instead of listening to either one of them, how about we just review the video from yesterday on the stairwell? That is what I would have done. Video doesn’t lie, and it doesn’t take sides.
I know we have camera’s there, but maybe Eloise didn’t” I said to them both. I watched her pale at the mention of us reviewing what actually happened yesterday.
I saw her tense up, and I know Aaron felt it, as he looked down at her. But still, he said nothing. He was taking her side in it, he was not going to do anything about it yet again.
“I will look into it myself. I will get back to you on it” Aaron said, and she relaxed into his side and gave me a smug smile. “Well, that is going to be a problem for me, Aaron.
You know I don’t come to the packhouse, as it brings back some really bad memories.
I am willing to take the nightmares that I know are coming from this visit to the Alpha floor, to come and help my children pack up to come and live with me in my home.
I have to protect them, even if you won’t.
I will have my dad come out with an architect and have my home increased to accommodate everyone, but they will all be coming home with me today” I told him, and now he stiffened up at my words.
“I will not let you take my children away from me, Reagan. They are fine here. I told you that I would investigate it, and get back to you on it. You can trust me.
they are my children too, and I have protected them for years” Aaron said. “I trust you more than I trust her, but since my trust in her is zero, I just can’t take the risk.
You heard me, you can come and see them whenever you want. The only stipulation I have is that when she is with you, the nanny, Clive, or I have to be present.
I only have our pup’s best interest at heart. You are busy all of the time. It is more of a power thing, to just possess them and have them here, than wanting to actually spend time with them.
You can come to my house when you have some downtime to be able to see them. I am not running away with them.
I am protecting them, from an actual threat” I told him, and my voice is colder than ice to him now.
“Just let me check it out myself, I promise you, Reagan, that I will be impartial,” Aaron said, and Eloise stiffened up again.
I kept my focus on her, to let him know that even though he felt it, I saw it. She knows she did wrong and is terrified of him seeing her in action.
“How about we all go in there, right now, and watch it together, Aaron? No need to investigate. No need to waste my time, or come up with even more excuses, like I know you will.
I will not be leaving the packhouse without my children. Seems like you have plenty of time to stand here in the hallway and argue, so let’s step into the office and just check real quick.
We both know that this will take about 3 to 5 minutes for you to find it, and we can all watch it. No need to discuss it anymore. She was scared to death when you first mentioned the investigation.
Her reaction, both times, was not lost on you or me. You already know, right now, that she did it. Before you can even see the video if you haven’t already watched it.
But I would like for us all to go ahead and take a look at it, together” I told him. I am using my alpha tone. I have never pulled it out here at Blood Tracker.
I have been held down, ignored, and suppressed for too freaking long. I can take it when it is my punishment, but I will be damned if my babies get hurt by this b***h again.
“I will do it myself, Reagan. You can rest assured that it will be dealt with if anything intentional happened to Trevor.
I can promise you that” Aaron said quietly to me, trying to calm me down, but we are way past that now. “Like you dealt with all the other incidents, Aaron? All their many injuries.
Injuries that I noted the time, date, and what she did. I took photographs of all of them, Aaron. I am done playing nice. I did that for a while and it got me and my children nowhere.
I trusted you to handle it. But you never did. You value her, over your own offspring. The very offspring that you insisted that you had to have to run this pack after you stepped down.
You wanted strong heirs to make the pack grow, and become even stronger. But you didn’t protect them.
You might have started off trying to fix it for them, but you can’t, because when it comes to her, or your pups, you have always chosen her.
That is fine, you can choose her, you just need to let me take our children away before she does something that can’t be fixed the next time. She will not be stopping until one of them is really hurt.
You will either go look at the video now, in front of both of us, or I will have to take my children out of here today” I told him, and he stiffened up. I was challenging him, and he did not like it.
“Reagan do not forget your place. You have no way to command me to do anything. I will deal with it, just go back to your home, and I will check on it myself.
I promise you that if what Trevor said was correct. I will deal with it” Aaron said, and he was imploring me to listen.
He wanted this to go away, and he probably would warn her, finally, after all this time. But I will not agree with it.
I am done now, they are not safe here, and they can only be safe with me and Clive. I know that now. She is furious and glaring at me for pushing the issue.
She is a mother, and I can tell you right now that if I put one hand on her son or daughter, she would scream this place down. I would be put in a cell somewhere, and not released for a while.
I would be beaten until Aaron came to check on me himself. I see the smirk come back up at what he had said.
She already knows that he will sweep this under the rug, just like the other times I have come out here. There are forgetting that the gloves are off now. I am done with them both.
They forget that I know the rules of the pack, inside and out, and neither one of them, are smarter than I am.
Eloise wants to see what happens when you f**k with my pups, then I hope that she enjoys the show, because we have had people eavesdropping on our conversation this whole time.
I know that by tonight this will have raced through the pack, and I almost can’t stop the smile from crossing my face, at them being stupid enough to hold this conversation in the hallway for all to hear.
That was really stupid on their part.
“Aaron you will either let us all watch the video together, and allow me to take my pups to my home now, or there will be consequences today for it,” I told him, and his mouth dropped open in shock.
It was a direct threat, and I didn’t pull my punch. “Yea, OK. I can’t see where you have any room to argue with me on this.
You need to stop now, or you will be the one who is facing consequences” Aaron said back to me.
“You leave me no choice, I didn’t want to have to do this, but I, Reagan Sullivan, Breeder for the Blood Tracker pack, challenge you, Eloise Daniels, current Luna of the Blood Tracker pack, to fight to the death for the position of Luna.
I will see you out on the training grounds today at 5 p.m.” I told them.
I am enjoying watching the blood drain from both their faces, as Aaron now clues in on just how deadly serious I truly am about this. Chapter 100
Reagan’s POV
The look on her face was priceless.
She knows that my wolf, Lena, will be ripping her apart, in no uncertain terms. She doesn’t train, she depends on Aaron to protect her.
What she doesn’t realize right now, is that I am mad enough to fight with him, to get to her.
I am willing to take my chances on the outcome of fighting with him, it may not be to the death, but we will both be getting hurt in the fight.
After I got attacked, I never wanted to be defenseless again. It was truly a nightmare that night, and I believed that I was going to die. I threw myself into training after that.
Clive is one of the best fighters here at Blood Tracker. He oversaw all of my training, and I didn’t stop, until I could protect myself from at least two adversaries.
I even trained while I was pregnant. I was never going to let myself be in the position of being vulnerable again.
I haven’t, and I had gone back to training two weeks after giving birth, each and every time. It helped me keep my figure, and I learned that I can work around pain very well.
I may not be popular here, but I am strong, and I am tough. No one wants to challenge me anymore from the women here, and I spar with the men.
I may not win every time, but I give the majority of them a run for their money. I already know what he will do now. He will have to back down, or I will kill his mate.
I will think nothing of it either. She has been a thorn in my side for 6 years. Six years of him deferring to her, allowing her to keep hurting our pups whenever she wanted to.
He thought that I had nothing I could do to her, as she was the Luna, but he was wrong. From the sounds of all the gasps in the hallway, some of them are excited to see it too.
Eloise is not well-liked here, and it is her own fault. She is only kind to Aaron, and the Beta couple, Darren and Judy. I had already spoken to Clive about this before I left today.
This was my last resort to show Aaron just how freaking serious I was about this. This was my Hail Mary pass at the end of the game.
I know that they both knew why I was coming out here to the packhouse. She thought that this was going to be like all the other times, and it wasn’t.
I am officially done, and I am fully intending on ending her today
They both really thought that I was going to let it go, and let it be.
Their wanting to do this outside of the office and ignore my requests over and over again didn’t work out in their favor, at all this time. I was not going to back down again.
Trevor could have broken his neck, instead of his arm as he reached out to stop his fall down to the 1st floor. This ends today, I am good with however they want it to play it out.
All of my cards were on the table, and I won this hand.Either I get my children the hell out from under their roof, or I will be killing his precious mate, tonight.
Those are his options, and I already knew what he was going to choose. He does not want to lose his piece of s**t mate, so I will be packing my children up and bringing them to safety home now.
I am going to tell him that I am bringing the nanny along with them. I am going to need some help with 8 kids all under 10, under one roof. “You can’t challenge me, you are just the breeder here.
You can’t do that” Eloise screeched out. She was almost stuttering in her bad attempt at trying to stop the ball I started rolling. “I can, and I will.
Anyone can challenge Luna for her position, at any time. I have tried and tried to stop you from hurting my pups. You have been doing it since two weeks after you arrived over the last 6 years.
You have gotten progressively worse, and Aaron here hasn’t even tried to stop you at all. Any she-wolf that has had children will understand that I will fight for my pups.
If you think that I will go easy on you, think again. I predict that Lena will have your head ripped from your body in less than a minute, but I personally would like her to toy with you first.
Just like you keep toying with my pups. You are a threat to them, all of them. You hate them, you hate all of my pups with Aaron, and would like nothing more than for them to not exist.
Just because Aaron refuses to watch the videos that I have, or is not willing to see how you really are behind closed doors does not mean that I have no recourse with you.
We can check the pack bylaws book to verify it, but I already know the answer. Do not forget, I am not just a “breeder” I was to be a Luna.
I studied, and I know the rules, and the by-laws, probably better than you do Eloise. The game is now over for you, you have crossed the line with what you did to Trevor yesterday.
Either my children come to live with me, their nanny included.
Or you need to go and have s*x with Aaron again, kiss your pups goodbye, oh, and have a nice meal, because I guarantee that it will be your last” I told her in an almost bored tone.
I wanted her to realize that she was as good as dead in my eyes. She was of no concern to me anymore. Lena will kill her, and Aaron could not step in and stop this for her.
She has crossed me too many times, and since he is not willing to man up, I will do it for him. She will not be getting her hands on my kids again. “I refuse to accept your challenge, Reagan.
I won’t fight you. I am sorry that you think that I did something to Trevor. But I never put my hands on him. I swear I didn’t Aaron” Eloise is now in a panic.
She is clutching at him and trying to get him to protect her. She is too dumb to know that he can’t protect her unless he is willing to give his children up.
I hated to have to flex like this, but I had to. They both left me no other choice. She is scared out of her mind because she knows that I am absolutely serious about what I said, and I am.
Aaron knows it too, and he is trying to figure a way out of it for her, but just because I am no longer a ranked wolf, I can still challenge her.
I am way stronger than her, and she is going to piss herself when she sees Lena coming for her. “That is easy enough to prove, we can all go into the office, and watch the video.
If you didn’t push him, I will even apologize to you for accusing you falsely. But we both know you did it.
You also thought that this was like any of the 20-plus times I have shown up here to complain about the treatment of my babies.
What you didn’t realize is that I am done, you could have killed him yesterday, and I am quite sure that was your actual intent. There is no use discussing it anymore Aaron. Let’s go watch the video.
There is no reason to not watch it together unless Aaron is willing to admit that he is fully aware of how evil you are, and how he allows you to get away with it each and every time.
I am done with this bullshit. Although I do have to say, that after everything you have done to my sons, I am totally OK with killing you” I told her, and I could hear Aaron growl at me.
He was warning me because I threatened her. I did go a little too far, I did just threaten the Luna, but the gauntlet has been thrown down.
My challenge has been issued, and either Aaron backs down and lets me get my children, or he will be losing his Luna today.
I didn’t want to be his Luna, and I had mentioned it when I had told Clive what I was intending on doing. He was worried as he thought that Aaron had a special affection for me.
He was worried that since I was more attractive than Eloise, even with the scar taking some of my beauty away, Aaron might secretly want me back. I didn’t believe that for a second.
He has rose-colored glasses on when it comes to her. She can clearly do no wrong in his eyes, which is why I have to do it this way.
Aaron has a hard choice to make, because as soon as he makes his decision, our pups will know exactly who he values, and sadly it won’t be them.
I hate that they will have to realize that, it was a slap in the face to know that your dad would rather keep a woman who is just fine with hurting small children around him.
Instead of his own flesh and blood, especially the heir to the pack. Who would have ever thought that I would be a good mom? I certainly didn’t.
But with each life that I brought into the world, I just bonded with them. Their needs are greater than mine.
My spoiled days are over, and I was willing to do whatever was needed to make sure that my children had what they needed, and occasionally spoiled with what they wanted.
Usually, my parents did that, and I realized that I was going to have to contact them again, so they know to get presents for the additional four that are now going to be under my roof when they come back to visit.
“Reagan, please, let’s just go into my office, and talk this out. I love my pups, as much as you do.
I do not want to lose them over a misunderstanding between us” Aaron tried to talk to me in a soothing tone. “Oh, now you care about your children.
Well isn’t that a nice surprise, but am not leaving here without my children Aaron. We are not negotiating here.
You have two options, and we already know that you will be choosing to save her, and let them go. It is in their best interest for them to live with me, Aaron.
You know what she has done, even if you are not willing to admit it. She is not going to stop until she really hurts someone, Aaron.
I know that you told her that since you were close to 30 when you found her, you had made arrangements to make sure you had an heir.
I am sure she wasn’t happy about that fact, but you cannot close your eyes to what she is doing.
She is dangerous, and she will keep going and attempting to get rid of our babies until her son is next in line to be Alpha. How is that right? Or fair to any of them?
They are sitting ducks here, I can’t just let them stay, and wait on her to kill them off one at a time. I am their mother, it is my job to protect them too, Aaron.
If you are not willing, or able, to do it, please stop trying to block me from protecting them. You can come to my house any time you want to. I am not leaving the pack with them.
They are staying right here, I am just making sure that they get to be old enough to protect themselves from her” I told him, and pointed right at Eloise.
She growled in fury at me literally calling her out, and we have a crowd now. There are at least 15 people, probably more, standing in the shadows of the hallway.
They are on either end of us in the hallway, watching this play out. I can see Aaron’s face contort in pain, as he really didn’t want to give them up.
He does love them, and before she came here, he took very good care of them. But from almost the moment she arrived, she moved them further down the hall from him.
She made them eat earlier, so he couldn’t see them.
She manipulated his time and got pregnant as quickly as she could, because she really believed as his mate, that it would be her pups who took over the pack.
When she found out differently, she was furious. She is dangerous, and I will not allow this to go on any longer. I tried to do this the nice way. I am done being nice.
“I wish you would reconsider this, Reagan. I would still like to investigate this allegation” Aaron spoke calmer to me, as he now noticed that we were not alone in the hallway.
He knew as well as I did, that the whole pack would not only know about it, but they would all be there for the fight if he didn’t give up our pups to me.
“You can run into your office and investigate all you want. We both know she did it and thought that she would be getting away with it, again. She will not.
Hey, I will go in there with you, as I need to record it for myself, so I can have the documentation of what happened this time too. A copy for my files, if you will.
But even if you “investigate” all day long, it changes nothing. You are either going to lose your pups, or your mate, today. Stop dragging your feet Aaron, we all already know what you chose.
You chose her like you have all the other times that she hurt one of our little ones, and you did nothing about it. Stop acting shocked that I finally had enough.
I know that you will do nothing to her in punishment, even after you watch her push our innocent son down the stair on the video.
At most, you will give her a slap on the wrist, and make her realize to pick a better location for her next attempt. I am not giving that b***h the opportunity. I am done here.
Decide, now, so I can go up and pack my pup’s stuff up and take them home where they can finally be able to rest easy, and not have to sleep with one eye open” I told him.
Aaron really seems upset by my words, like I came up with all of this s**t on my own. He never even asked his kids what happened.
Each and every time I would confront him about an injury, he would take what she said as the truth.
I know because each time I came to his office to speak to him about it, I would wait two to three weeks and then ask them if he has asked them for their side of the story. He never did.
He is the reason that we are here now. If he had cared, he would have nipped this in the bud. Telling her that whatever she did to our pups, would be done to hers. That would have stopped her cold.
I even suggested it, and he got furious at me, for threatening his children with his mate. Like ours weren’t being threatened by her every day.
Either you can, or you can’t threaten children/ If she can do it to mine, I should be able to do it to hers, that is only fair. “I do care about my pups. I love them, Reagan, you don’t understand.
This is killing me” Aaron said and his voice caught with a slight sob. I believe that he loves them. He needs to love them enough, to let me protect him from her. “Aaron, let me ask you this.
You have common sense, so just humor me. With any of the times I came to you with proof of what she did, did you ever once ask any of our children that had been hurt, what happened to them?
Even one time, or did you always ask her?” I scoffed at him, as I pointed in her direction and let him know that I already knew the answer before I asked the question.
“You believed whatever smoke that she wanted to blow up your a*s. I already know the answer Aaron because I did ask them if you had asked.
Each and every time that she would hurt them, you never once asked them if she had hurt them.
Never once did you actually believe what I told you, never once did you take their side over hers, even when you knew she did it. I bet you already watched what happened on the stairs, didn’t you?
I can tell from your expression right now, that you did. I bet the video is gone now, isn’t it? That is why you won’t let me see it. You deleted it to protect her. Wow, that is disgusting.
You call it now, Aaron.
Right f*****g now, because if not, I won’t wait to do it outside, or until 5 p.m. They will be cleaning her blood from this hallway, as I will bring the fight here, right now” I told him, and I was yelling at him by the end.
I see that she knows that Lena is right there. I can feel her power right there pushing out into the hallway.
I can see the crowd taking me at my word and they are moving back away from us, but still staying close enough to watch the show.
I can phase very quickly and I swear to the Goddess that even if he tries to stop me, I will kill her before he can kill me. I will protect my pups to my dying breath, and he sees it in my eyes.
The showdown is now, he will comply with what I am telling him, or I hope that their last time together in his office was good, because I am ending her.
Aaron steps forward with his hands up and palms out towards me and said, “You win, I will let them live with you. Don’t kill her Lena, It is OK.
No one will be hurting your pups anymore.”
It was as much an admission of guilt for their Luna, as they would get.
Everyone present understood that I was right, and she had been hurting my pups to get us here to this moment.
The crowd had been on her side at first, but the whispers were spreading on both sides of the hallway about their Luna. Hurting pups was hugely frowned upon, and completely unacceptable.
They knew what I had been brought here to do. They knew that my pups were strong and that I was completely serious about what I said.
Why Aaron had dicked around so long before letting me have them, was unacceptable. I will discuss that later with him one-on-one. For now, I am happy with getting my babies to safety.
I bet that he watched all of the incidences where she hurt our babies, but he believed her when she said that she would stop. He was an i***t then because she was never planning on stopping.
Only when our boys had all been killed, leaving Austin to take over the pack would she have stopped. She would have left my youngest pup with Aaron, Colette alone.
Since she was a girl, and with their backward a*s pack, she couldn’t be Alpha. That honor would have to go to her mate.
Since she and Austin were so close in age, I am sure that Eloise would have found a reason for Austin to take over the pack. I can actually understand it myself. I did the same thing at Silver Blade.
I know how her heart is. I see her, I know her because I was her. That is why she couldn’t fool me. I didn’t believe her for a second. Was I drastic in getting my kids out of here to protect them?
Yes, I was, but I knew it had to be done. Will Aaron get mad at her and finally punish her for all the bullshit she has done here? Goddess only knows. I am pretty sure that she will get another pass.
I could care less because I won this round. I don’t care if she starts training right now, she will never be as strong as me, Lena will take her apart if it ever comes down to it.
I will not let her off the hook again. If she crosses the line. I will make sure that she never gets another chance to do it again.
I will be sure to give Aaron a heads up on it, as she will have earned every bit of what she is going to get. I felt her fear just now.
She finally felt my full strength as I let my Alpha power loose in the hallway when I warned her that I would kill her right here. Aaron made a bad decision today.
That will be between him and our pups. He will have to tell them that he picked her lying a*s over them, and I won’t poison their mind over it.
He will have to ask for their forgiveness when he finally clues in on what he has done. The boys already felt that he didn’t love them because he didn’t protect them from his mate.
Now that their lives are completely uprooted, and changed, it will be even harder on their relationship. But I did what I needed to protect my pups. I will always put their needs before my own.
I know that this b***h is going to be coming for me. I am OK with it because when she attacks me, I have every right to defend myself. I won’t be reigning Lena in either.
I am going to let Lena do what she needs to so my babies don’t have to look over their shoulders all the time. They will only be safe after she is gone.
I made an enemy today, but she already was, from the moment she arrived. What she doesn’t realize is she has made one out of me too today.
I was going to let her go until she pulled what she did yesterday. I will fight fake b***h, with fake b***h, and we will see who comes out on top.
