Pack Law (6 page)

Back at Elaina’s house Tristan and Ava awake
form their nap. “I am so glad you are here Tristan. I didn’t know
how I was going to go on without you. I know we haven’t know each
other but I feel like I have known you all of my life. You are part
of the puzzle that makes me whole Tristan. I feel like we are soul
mates.” replied Ava. “I agree Ava. You have always been close in my
life but I was unaware of it. You even went to school with my
sister. These things are not a coincidence. Things like this just
don’t happen. It is fate telling us that we should be together.
When everything is finally over, I want you to become my mate in
all the ways a mate should be. I want it to be your choice and not
one made for you. I want to have the mating ceremony in front of
our friend and family in the pack,” replied Tristan. “I would love
nothing more than to be your mate Tristan”, replied Ava . They
embrace each other in a hug and give each other a chaste kiss. “I
think we should tell Elaina the good news,” replied Ava. I agree
with you Ava. They walk into the living room and find Elaina
sitting on the couch drinking some coffee. “I am glad you too love
birds have made up. I am so looking forward to being at your mating
ceremony”, replied Elaina. “You are so confident about things
happening that way are you? I love you sister and thank you for
calling me about my mate,” replied Tristan. “So Elaina you are a
werewolf to”, asked Ava? Yes Ava I am. “I have always wanted more
that pack life. There is nothing wrong with pack life but I have
always been a little rebellious and I like to follow my own path”,
replied Elaina. “I can understand that Elaina. “I have always
wanted a family and now I have it and much more. You should always
go after what you want,” replied Ava. “I must call Zane and
Christian to let them know what has transpired. I will have them
meet me here and we can discuss our next step pertaining to the
Appalachian pack. Michael and Tara are going to pay for what they
have done with their lives. No one messes with my family and gets
away with it,” replied Tristan. Tristan pulls out his cell phone
and dials Zane’s phone number. In a close proximity he can connect
with his pack telepathically. With this kind of distance between
them it is impossible to do. Zane answers on the second ring.
“Hello Alpha is everything alright,” replied Zane? “Yes Zane. I
have Ava here with me and she is fine. I need you and Christian to
meet me here so we can make our next plan of attack on Michael and
Tara. I will not let them get away with what they have done to our
pack. They are not going to expose us to the humans and risk
everyone’s lives for power. We are to stay off the radar of humans.
We work with them every day and they are none the wiser and it
needs to stay that way. We are not a danger to the humans. We are
only a danger to ourselves if we allow someone like Michael and
Tara to spread their lies and deceit”, replied Tristan. “I am happy
that you have found Ava. We will be there within the next hour”,
replied Zane. Tristan hangs up the phone and embraces Ava.
“Everything will be taken care of my mate”, replied Tristan. “I
know that all will be taken care of with you being in charge. I
love you Tristan and wouldn’t have it any other way”, replied Ava.
He hugs her harder and gives her a kiss on the lips. “I love you to
my mate. Now let’s relax before Zane and Christian arrives”,
replied Tristan. They all remain in the living room talking and
catching up on the last couple of hours.

Elaina gets up to make them all some coffee
and notices something moving outside of her window. She walks over
to her door and opens it to look out. As she looks out the door,
she is grabbed and all you hear are her screams. Tristan jumps up
off the couch then runs to the door and is stopped in his tracks
when a bullet hits him in the shoulder. He begins to move again and
is shot in the chest. He falls to the floor and is hardly moving.
Ava starts screaming and runs to Tristan to stop the bleeding.
Michael walks in the door and has a grin on his face. I told you if
you ran I would make you sorry you stupid human bitch. He reaches
down and grabs her by the hair then drags her out of the house. She
is kicking and screaming the whole way. Tara walks up and hits Ava
in the stomach with her fist. Ava drops to the ground gagging from
the blow to her abdomen. She tries to catch her breath when she
spits out a mouth full of blood. She is pulled off the ground by
her hair. Michael is dragging her to a car parked in the shadows.
Tara walks into the house with Tristan and shuts the door. Ava and
Elaina are in the same car with Michael and two of his scouts. They
have both of the girls hands bound with rope. Elaina looks to be
unconscious. “Tristan is going to kill you when he finds me”,
replied Ava. “I don’t believe he is going to get the chance
considering Tara is going to finish the job. But first she is going
to fuck his brains out,” replied Michael. “That would be the only
way she could get him if he’s unconscious”, she relied. “That may
be so but I wouldn’t worry about him if I were you. I have
something in store for you my pet. You are going to become my
mate”, he replied. “I will never be your mate”, replied Ava. “I
don’t think I asked; unfortunately you have no choice in the matter
Ava,”replied Michael.

Zane and Christian arrive at Elaina’s house
and notice that the yard seems to be torn up and there is some
blood on the ground. They sneak up to the house and look in the
window to see if they can see anything. Tristan is lying on his
side with Tara hovering over him with a gun. Zane crouches low and
lets the change come over him. His legs and arms are popping and
his jaw elongates into a snout as the fur covers his body. He is a
very large brown wolf with black glowing eyes. Christian reaches
the door knob and turns it slightly to open it. Zane goes charging
in the door and jumps on top of Tara. She tries to throw him off
but he is to strong and weights more than she does. He grabs her by
the neck and shakes his head vigorously until he hears her neck
snap. He drops her on the ground where she falls dead. Zane runs
over to where Tristan is and nudges him with his head. Tristan
calls on the strength of all his wolves and brings the change upon
himself. He screams from the contortion of his bones and the
bullets pop out from the holes from the change. He brings the
change back on to return back to human form. “Tara had been the one
to shoot me with the silver bullets”, replied Tristan. “She is dead
now sire and will not be a problem for us anymore”, replied
Christian. “Where is my mate and sister,” asked Tristan? “It looks
like Michael has taken them. We found blood on the ground outside
before we came in here and found Tara with you,” replied Zane. “We
must go and get them now”, replied Tristan. We are ready when you
are alpha.

Michael’s car pulls up to a clearing in the
middle of the cabins and stops. There are two large boulders placed
side by side with shackles hanging from them. Michael grabs Ava and
drags her with him to the first boulder and shackles her wrist and
ankles to boulder. One of the scouts is carrying Elaina and
shackles her to the other boulder. There are torches lit up all
around the area. All of the pack members are in a circle around the
torches. Michael stands in the middle of the the pack waiting for
silence.” Dear pack members, tonight we are going to be put to the
test. The alpha of the Black Mountain pack will be coming to
retrieve his mate and sister. He does not believe in change. He
wants to repress the rest of us and have us be like subservient
dogs to the humans. We will not be subservient any more. Once I
kill the alpha we will take over his pack and rule the area. We
will be unstoppable”, replied Michael. The crowd starts yelling and
cheering for him. Michael drops to all fours and starts the change
into a werewolf. His bones start dislocating and twisting with the
change taking over. The fur covers him from head to tail. He is a
black wolf with gray on his chest. The other wolves around the
circle follow suite and change into wolves also. Michael walks over
to Ava and bears his teeth at her. A voice comes from out of the
woods. Get away from my mate Michael. Tristan, Zane, and Christian
have arrived. If it is a fight that you want then it is a fight you
are going to get,” replied Tristan. Michael grabs Ava by the
shoulder with his teeth and bits down drawing blood. Ava screams
out in pain and collapses on top of the boulder. “I will kill you
Michael”, replied Tristan. “She has not accepted you as her mate
Tristan. She has not taken the final step to become your mate. I
have as much right to claim her as my mate as you do. Once you are
dead she will be my mate”, replied Michael. I will see you dead
before that happens, replied Tristan. Tristan falls down on all
four and lets the change take over him. Michael attacks Tristan
before the change has completely takes effect. They go rolling
round on the ground biting each other. Christian and Zane tell the
other wolves to stay back and let the two of them fight it out.
Michael has broken Pack Law by biting Tristan’s mate. Tristan grabs
Michael’s shoulder with his teeth and throws him into a tree. Off
to the corner a big flash light appears and two objects appear. It
is Jeffery and Lily. They walk up to the circle and raise their
hands creating a light causing all the other wolves to cower down
to the ground in submission. Tristan grabs Michael by the throat
and begins to squeeze with his teeth. Lily flashes over beside them
and stands before Tristan. “The decisions you make here today will
affect the outcome of the future to come. You must right all the
wrongs and take the high road to be an effective leader. Your
father would be proud of you Tristan. You are a true leader,”
replied Lily. Tristan drops Michael to the ground and stand over
him. “Michael I am going to spare your life here today. I cannot
let my personal feeling over rule the bigger issue at hand. I
cannot allow you to destroy our race with your greedy needs. You
are to leave the country and never return or you will be killed on
site. Do you agree Michael”, replied Tristan? Michael cowers down
to the ground and shakes his head in agreement and backs away.
Tristan turns to walk away and Michael lunges for him. Tristan
turns and grabs him by the neck and snaps it in half. Michael falls
limp to the ground. Tristan begins the process to change back into
a human. He stands up and walks over to Ava. She is lying limp on
the boulder with blood dripping down on the rock. Ava can you hear
me sweet heart, asked Tristan? She barely shakes her head. “I need
you to take my blood love. You are going to die if you don’t take
it. I need to complete the mating ritual so you can survive. Are
you alright with this,” replied Tristan? Ava nods her head and
gasps for air. Tristan bits down on his wrist and lets the blood
pour into her mouth. He takes his other arm and holds her up to his
mouth. He lets her drink for a few minutes then bites into her neck
causing her to spasm in his arms. He lets her fall back into his
arms as he carries her to one of the cabins to let her rest. Zane
runs over to Elaina and frees her from her restraints and gathers
her in his arm. She embraces him as she crushes her mouth to his.
He carries her into the house and places her next to Tristan. Lily
and Jeffery walk in the door and stand next to everyone. She will
be alright Tristan. You did the right thing concerning Michael. You
will prevail from this disaster and come out an even better leader.
Teach those that are lost and teach them the ways of the pack. Lily
and Jeffery disappear out of the room. Tristan leans down and
places a kiss on Ava’s cheek. She turns and opens her eyes at
Tristan. “I thought I lost you Ava. I do not want to live this life
without you. I love you and want to raise a family with you. You
and the pack are my life”, replied Tristan. “I could never leave
you Tristan. You are the reason that I live. I finally have a
family worth having and the love of my life. I want to run with you
until we are old”, replied Ava. “Let’s go home my love”, replied
Tristan. “Tristan I will stay behind to reeducate this pack and
undue all the damage Michael has done,” replied Zane. “I will stay
with his also Tristan. We can start a new pack with everyone here.
I don’t want to uproot any of them since they are already going
through enough without losing their homes,” replied Elaina. That
will be a great idea. “Will the two of you be able to get along,”
asked Tristan? “I think we will be just fine here,” replied Zane.
Tristan places Ava into the car and starts the drive back to the
pack.

Tristan and Ava arrive back at the mansion
and are met by everyone in the pack. Everyone embraces Ava and
congratulates them on their union. “It is a beautiful night for a
run,” replied Ava. “Do you think you are up for it Ava? This will
be your first shift and it may take a lot out of you,” replied
Tristan. “I can handle anything as long as you are with me. I have
my whole family here tonight to show me support. We can work
through anything as long as we all do it together as a pack”,
replied Ava. They all begin the change into wolves and run together
in the woods as a family.
