Mine - The Alpha's Possession

Chapter 87

When I got to the front door I put my boots and jacket on while Jackson stayed back and put everything away to make sure that they weren't discovered by anyone snooping around.

Wyatt took me to the hospital where Carter was and took me straight to his room where he was being treated for some extensive injuries.

"Hi there you." He smiled at me when I went into the room.

"Carter.What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.

"I went to your house but no one was there.And it's really late here.I thought more places would be open but I couldn't find anything.I was going to ask if anyone knew where you would be." He explained.

"I'm living at the packhouse." I say walking up beside him.

"Wow.Fancy." He chuckled.

"Who did this?" I asked.

"I don't know.It was a wolf.I could recognise their scent if I smelt it again.But otherwise, I don't have a clue." He says.

"What color was the wolf?" Wyatt asked.

And Carter looked at me before he answered.

"It's alright.This is Beta Wyatt.He will find out who did this." I assured him.

"It was gray with patches of red.It looked like a younger wolf.Teenager maybe.Not fully mature." Carter explained.

"Do you know anyone that fits that description around here?" I asked.

"I know some wolves that are gray with patches of other colors.I'll talk to them first." Wyatt says leaving.

"So, you've got a fair bit of pull around here." Carter chuckles.

And the nurses and doctors looked at him and then at me really strange.

And then Jackson walked into the room.

Carter became visibly uncomfortable knowing that he was in the presence of the blood Alpha.

"Carter.This is Alpha Jackson.Jackson, this is Carter.You already know that we went to school together in Richmond Pack." I say.

"Yeah.You said before you went running from the packhouse."

Jackson says standing right next to me like he was trying to protect me or something.

"Relax.We were just friends." I say.

And Carter looked at me strangely then.He obviously didn't know that we were mates.

But now that I think about it, not many people do.

Jackson hasn't announced that he found his mate.

And I have told anyone.

The only people who know are in this pack and Jackson put a gag order on them as soon as he took over the pack.They aren't allowed to talk to anyone outside of the pack about anything that goes on in here.

"So, it was just Ethan that you were sleeping with in Richmond Pack." Jackson growled.

"Wow.What?" Carter squealed.

"Yes.Alright, I was sleeping with Ethan.But I'm not anymore.Carter, I'm kind of like Luna here." I say awkwardly.

I wasn't used to announcing it to people and I wasn't sure how he was going to take the news that the blood Alpha was my mate.

"Holy shit.You and Alpha Jackson are mates?" He asked.

"Yeah.So, don't worry.He won't hurt you." I say.

"We'll see about that."

Jackson scoffs softly.

And I turned around to glare at him but he just looked back at me.

"Carter.What brought you here?" I asked.

"All hell is breaking loose at Richmond pack.I came here hoping that I could join the pack.Because I knew you, I thought it would be easier if I actually knew someone here.The whole rest of my family is in Richmond pack." Carter explained.

"What do you mean all hell is breaking loose? What's going on?" Jackson says urgently.

And I was looking at him, really concerned as well.

For him to want to join Alpha Jackson's pack, then it must be pretty bad.

"I don't know what is going on in the packhouse.But the school has shut down.Most of the businesses have, we never see Alpha Richmond anymore.We don't know where he is.It's rumored that he's just locked himself in the packhouse and refuses to come out.His Beta is doing all the work around the pack and he's running it into the ground.But he's doing it on purpose.He's ruling with an iron fist." Carter explained.

And that got me really concerned for my friend. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Do they know that you left?" I asked.

"No.I came here seeking refuge." Carter says.

And I looked at Jackson.I knew that this was something that Jackson had to decide on since he was here.

If he wasn't here then I would make the decision.

But this was an Alpha decision.I could tell that Jackson was hesitant about it, but he reluctantly agreed.

And I told him that I would find him somewhere to live.

A family to live with.He won't be staying at the packhouse.

Especially not with everything else going on and Jackson's entire family here.I didn't want him getting involved in all that crap.

But I would definitely find him something Now we needed to figure out if there was something that we needed to do about Richmond's pack.I know Alpha Richmond and he was a good man.

He was always good to me.

And I knew that he wouldn't just abandon his pack like that.

He did so much for me, and I wasn't even a member of his pack.He was a good man.

I needed to know what happened to him.

And when I looked at Jackson, I saw him exhale dramatically.

He knew straight away that I was going to get involved in this.I had to.I owed it to him.I couldn't believe that we hadn't heard about this before.But I guess, we had been a little busy with other crap going on around here.

There were a lot of things that we were preoccupied with.

But this wasn't something that we could ignore either.

Carter got all fixed up by the doctors, but it was a really brutal attack so they wanted him to stay in hospital overnight and I told him that I would find him a place to stay.

So when Jackson and I got back to the packhouse he went to the dungeon to check on his parents, to make sure that his siblings hadn't tried anything stupid, and then we went to the office again and closed the door.

I started going through the housing assignments and that's when Jackson saw that I gave Edward and Hannah a house together in town.

I just shrugged at it and we kept going.

That's when I knew that he was rejecting their request because of me.

I finally found someone that had the room for Carter so I called them and informed them of it.

They were a young couple without kids and I didn't think that Carter would put them out too much.

They would probably like having him there.

So that's what I decided on.

But the night wasn't over.

I needed to find out what the hell was going on at Richmond pack.

So I told Jackson to get his car keys and he better not be driving all night this time.

He just chuckled when I said that.

"You know I was just doing that to spend time with you." He admitted.

"Yeah.I know that now."

I scoffed and he just laughed.

So we got in the car and it actually only took him two and a half hours to get to Richmond pack and we parked away from the pack and walked the rest of the way.

We got to the border and saw that there was no one there.

No one was protecting the border at all.

And we actually made it through the woods to where the packhouse was.

But that was a different story.

We could see that all the warriors were protecting the packhouse.

They didn't care about the land.

There was something in the packhouse that needed protecting more than the pack.

I looked at Jackson and even he looked confused by all of this.

"There's definitely something going on here." Jackson says.

"We need to see inside that packhouse." I say.

"There's no way we're getting past all those warriors without being seen." Jackson says.

We stayed there watching for a long while and there didn't seem to be any activity.

But that didn't really surprise me, it was the middle of the night.

But then we saw the front door open and we saw teenage girl's from the pack being taken out of the packhouse and placed into a van that was waiting out the front.

And then the Beta walked out behind them and he handed a wad of cash to another man.

"Holy shit." I say.

"How do you feel about killing another one of your father's?" Jackson asked as we looked at Thomas who was receiving the wad of cash from the Beta.
