“Odessa!” I called out and she lifted her head up.
“Unlock the cell.” Dimitri growled at David who didn't move. “I SAID, UNLOCK THE FUCKING CELL!” Dimitri pressed David's face against the silver cell bars and he howled in pain.
“Give me the keys!” Helena reached at his belt and removed the keys from the clip. She unlocked the cell door and we rushed inside.
“Quick we need to hurry.” Alec said.
Helena unlocked the collar from around Odessa's neck and Dimitri quickly engulfed her in a hug. “Thank the Goddess. Are you okay?” He asked. Her neck was burned red from the silver collar.
A growl ripped from the wolf in the cell next to Odessa. She smiled at him. “It's okay, this is my brother.”
“Who’s this?” Dimitri asked, feeling a strong aura coming from the wolf.
“I'll explain later, we need to bring him with us.” She insisted.
“We don't have time for this.” Dimitri said.
“I'm not leaving without him!” Odessa protested.
“FUCK, HURRY!” Dimitri eyed Alec, who moved quickly to unlock the cell next to Odessa and remove the silver collar from him. His neck had also been burned by the silver and would take time to heal.
“He looks familiar.” Rae said to me, but I couldn't place him.
Helena grabbed the keys and ran to her father’s cell. She unlocked him and helped him out. He had been beaten pretty badly and the silver collar prevented him from healing.
“Are we ready?” Alec asked.
“Let's get out of here. We need to get back
to the pack before Stefanos does.” Dimitri said.
Alec grabbed David's head and snapped his neck; we couldn't afford to have him alert anyone. We made our way back up the stairs and Helena thanked us for our help. She and her father decided to hide until Stefanos left for the attack. They planned to get her mother and north north into Albania, to seek refuge with her mother's old pack. Alec hugged her goodbye and we headed in different directions into the woods. The fire was still at a full blaze and the smell of smoke would hide our scents.
We continued running deep into the woods before Dimitri stopped. “We're going to have to shift, the car is about ten kilometers away, just outside the territory. It will be much faster.” He said.
We all stepped behind a tree and removed our clothing to shift. I picked up my clothes in my mouth and stepped out. I heard a low growl and saw that Dom was ready to attack. He was looking at the other big black Alpha wolf with brown eyes and circling him. Another low growl was heard, and I looked to see Odessa. Odessa was Alpha born and her wolf, Olympia, was an average sized black wolf with a white bib. She jumped between the Alpha males and bared her teeth at her brother to protect the unknown wolf. What the hell was going on here?
Dom stopped for a moment and was also shocked at his sister’s behavior. “Can we get moving please, we're still in someone's territory.” I reminded him through the mind link.
Dom picked up his clothes and ran east towards the direction of the Jeep. We were almost to the pack boarder when a group of rogues jumped out to attack us. There was five of them and five of us.
The unknown black Alpha immediately lunged at them and started snapping and biting. Dom also jumped in and immediately tore out a rogue’s windpipe. One of the rogues jumped at me and Dimitri sent a big boulder sailing through the air that crashed right into the rogue. He fell at my paws and Rae sliced her claw right through his neck. Dimitri used his element to open up a hole in the ground and Alec pushed the rogue bodies in. A few seconds later, Dimitri had filled the rest of the hole up with dirt.
We made it to the Jeep and shifted back on different sides of the car to get dressed. Odessa and the unknown Alpha stood hugging. Actually, it looked like he was resting his head in her neck, scenting her.
“Who are you?” Dimitri growled.
“Can we talk about this in the car? We really need to get the hell out of here!” Odessa said.
“He's an Alpha! Who are you?” Dimitri demanded.
“I'm Hades Kappas.” His gruff voice said.
“YOU'RE EROS’ SON!” Dimitri's eyes flared and the ground shook beneath us. He was struggling to control his emotion.
“It's not what you think!” Odessa said.
“I’m no threat to you. My father hardly ever had contact with me. My mother was a chosen mate, he never loved her or treated us well. I could care less about him or the pack. I just want my mate!” Hades said.
“Oh Fuck!” Alec whispered.
“Your mate?” I asked.
“Yes, Hades is my mate!” Odessa happily grinned at us.
Chapter 39 – Race
The sun was setting as we raced back in the Jeep to our territory. Dimitri was at the wheel and his eyes kept glancing in the mirror at the occupants in the back seat. Odessa was seated in the back, between Alec and Hades. The tension in the car was thick.
“What the hell happened Odessa? I thought Georgios was your mate?” Dimitri asked and a low growl came from Hades at the mention of Georgios.
“It's kind of a long story.” She replied.
“We've got time. No one is leaving this car for a few hours.” Dimitri said.
Hades spoke first, “My mother
