Forbidden Fruit:Mated To My Sister's Human Best Friend - Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Ethan's Point of View
I hated that I had to leave Sofia early in the morning. I was sure she would be upset that I left without waking her up and saying goodbye, but I knew she needed the extra sleep, especially after everything that had happened the day before. I still felt guilty that she was so exhausted. I should have waited to have sex with her. I honestly didn't want her to go to school but I knew there was no way she would miss a day of school, especially when she knew there was going to be a big test. The main reason I didn't want her to go to school was because of King Lestat. I had a bad feeling about him. I knew he had a thing for her and I had a feeling he would try something if he had the chance. I trusted Sofia. I knew she wanted to be with me only, but I wasn't sure King Lestat would take no for an answer. I had a feeling he would do anything to get her, even if it meant taking her against her will.
I talked to my dad about all of this after King Lestat showed up at Sofia's mom's house the day Sof went over there. I wanted my father to kick him off of our territory and stop him from teaching at the school but my dad wouldn't do it. He told me that there was no proof that King Lestat was after Sofia and that if he kicked him and all the other vampires out of the pack, it could cause a war. Even though I didn't like it I understood what my father was saying. They were trying to make it where Vampires and werewolves got along, so I would have to deal with him, but I was going to make sure I kept an eye on him.
When we reached the gate of the Midnight Pack, my dad and I got out of our car along with four of our guards.
"What can I do for you, My King?" one of the guards from the Midnight Pack asked. Before my dad could answer, a man about his age walked up to us along with Alpha Thomas' son, Timothy.
"How can I help you, King Ethan?" Beta Marco, The Midnight Pack's Beta, asked.
"I am here to talk to the Pack," My dad replied
"Why do you have to talk to the Pack? You already had some of the Royal Warriors talk to them," Beta Marco asked.
"I don't have to answer to you. I am the King and I demand to be let into the Pack," My dad said using his Alpha Command, which caused Beta Marco and Timothy to bow their heads in submission.
"Yes, My King," Beta Marco said. My dad and I got back into our car as the guards raised the gates, and we drove through, with the guards' cars following after.
I still couldn't get over how terrible the streets of the Midnight Pack looked. All of the houses looked terrible, and some of the pack members were walking around in dirty clothing. We stopped at the Packhouse, which was the only nice part of the Midnight Pack.
"I will have the guards gather all of the pack members so that you can speak to them," Beta Marco said. I noticed that Timothy didn't say a word. He just stared at us as we spoke to the Beta.
"That's unnecessary. We plan to speak to every pack member at their houses," my dad said, and Beta Marco became tense.
"You don't have to do that, My King. It would be easier for us to call them to the Packhouse so you don't have to waste your time going to every house in the Pack," Beta Marco said
"Oh, I don't mind. Besides, I want to check how everyone is living. I don't know if you have noticed but the houses outside of the packhouse barely look livable. I also want to check all of the businesses in the Pack. It doesn't seem like the money that Alpha Thomas got for the Pack has been used wisely. So, I will also be looking into Alpha Thomas' finances," My dad said
"This is all unnecessary," Beta Marco said
"I disagree," My dad said, and then he looked at two of the warriors. "I want you two to head to go with Beta Marco and Timothy to get all the financial information," My dad said
"Yes, Alpha," The guards said.
"This is ridiculous," Beta Marco started to say, but my dad cut him off. "I command that you give my guards every financial statement from the Pack. Is that clear?" My dad said in his Alpha Command.
"Yes, Alpha," Beta Marco said
"Good, now let's get going."
"Do you think they will tell us the truth about how they are treated? They might be scared to speak about what has been going on here. It’s so obvious that the Beta and Timothy are like Alpha Thomas were. There’s no telling how many others are like them,” I said
“I have been wondering the same thing. I don’t want to use my Alpha Command against them because I don’t want them to be afraid. hopefully some will be brave enough to tell the truth,” my dad replied.
Once we arrived at one of the houses one of the guards knocked on the door. A woman answered the door. She was tall and very skinny. It was obvious she was malnourished. The shirt she had on was torn and dirty as well as the jeans which had holes in them.
“Hello,” a woman said nervously. A little girl walked over to her that looked to be around three years old and she picked him up instantly.
Hello, I am sure you know who we are,” my dad said
“Of course King Eric. I am so sorry I didn’t greet you properly. I wasn’t expecting you to be here,” the woman said as she bowed her head in respect.
“it’s okay, My Dear. I understand you were shocked. I am going to all of the houses of the pack members to speak to them about your old Alpha and your treatment,” my dad said and then a man walked over to where she was standing. I knew he was a warrior by his outfit.
“You should have told me we had company. Hello King Eric. How may I help you?” The man asked. I didn’t trust him.
“We are here to speak with the Pack Members about their treatment,” my dad said. I could tell he didn’t trust him either.
“Sure you can ask me anything. I will speak to you outside,” the man said
“I am afraid that won’t work. We need to come inside to check all the houses. They all need work and we need to know what all needs to be done,” my dad said
“I like looking after my house. You don’t have to waste your time,” the man said
“It wasn’t a question. You need to let me in now. I won’t ask again,” my dad said, becoming impatient.
The man let him in even though he didn’t want to be.
“How about you get us something to drink, Lila. I will answer the kings questions,” the man said
“That’s unnecessary. Besides, I need to speak to her too,” my dad said and the man became tense. The lady walked over to the couch and sat by the man.
“Fine what do you want to know?” The man said
“First, I would like to know your names.”
