Chapter
Thirty-Five
Draco’s chest started seizing,making him grab his chest. Something was wrong and he didn’t know what it was.
He looked over at his team that was with him and noticed they were panicking about his reactions. They pulled him to the waiting vehicle, watching for anything that could be targeting him.
When he heard Leo’s phone ringing, his heart nearly gave out from worry. He’d never been scared of losing something his entire life.
Not even in war zones or missions. Now that he knew what having his true fated mate was like, he could not, would not lose it.
“Fuck! Get us to Pelo Grove Elementary,now! Dana’s been shot. Medics are on the way there now.”
“Athena?” Draco asked, glaring at his best friend.
“Taken. Draco, she was kidnapped by Townie. He’s assisting the Maplewoods.”
“He’s fucking dead. I knew he took Shadow’s death hard. Never thought it was betrayal hard.”
Draco’s wolf wanted to come out and find his mate and annihilate anyone in his path, but he knew he had to play it calmly. He pulled out his phone and sent a message to his father to let him know what was going on.
Draco instructed his team to get to Dana ASAP at the school. His father was meeting them there with a guest who had just arrived at the home.
They sped through streets, taking turns at a high rate of speed. Thank the goddess no one was out or got in their way.
They flew into the school parking lot, tires squealing as they came to an abrupt stop. The ambulance, pack police, and his father all arrived at the same time they did.
“Arrow!” Draco yelled out as he rushed out of the SUV.
“I’m fine. The bullets are already out,” a disgruntled Arrow grumbled as she pushed hands away from her.
“Ma’am, you were shot with bullets specially designed to take out shifters. The fact you are still breathing is a miracle.” The medica huffed at her.
“Bullshit. If Townie wanted me dead, he would have killed me. That motherfucker never misses his targets.”
Draco pulled back at the news Arrow had just given them. Someone he’d trusted with his life had betrayed them.
He’d known that Townie was hurting and angry with him over Shades death. He had thought they’d worked past all of that when they had their talk.
“Athena?” Draco asked, his voice going tight.
“Townie took her. He had Rob and her fucking brother with him. Draco, they have someone in the Council on their payroll. It’s why they have not been punished for any of their actions so far.”
“Did they say who?” A man stepped forward, along with Draco’s father.
“No. Just know they said that this person was going to deny Draco as the Blackwood Pack’s Alpha and denounce the mating of Athena and Draco. They are declaring an all-out war between the two packs.”
“Who are you?” Draco asked the man standing next to his father.
“I am Douglas Amari, the High Lord of the Shifter Council. I believe you were already looking for me, young man. Considering your medical team was requesting access to my DNA profile.”
“Holy shit! Athena,” Leo murmured in shock from beside Draco.
Draco studied the man in front of him. He stood tall at six feet three inches, a stocky build with reddish brown hair. It was the eyes that made him stop in his tracks and took his breath away.
The blue green with sparkled whiskey flecks that always made his breath catch whenever she would look up at him with that smile that stole the air from his lungs. He knew without a shadow of a doubt this man was Athena’s biological father.
“Who is this Athena?” Douglas Amari asked as he crossed his arms across his chest.
