Chapter 0204
It would have taken them years to dig out those tunnels. Alpha Rip would have had to been planning this long before Darin met me. Maybe this wasn’t fully aboutlike we thought. They could have just been making us focus onas a distraction. It could make sense, if everyone was focused on keeping me safe, their attention would be taken off other things.
“Kris? What is it?” Jasper asked. I didn’t realize he was looking atconfused. Emmy had even stood up and was scrunching her eyebrows at me.
“You figured something out.” It was more of a statement than a question.
“Maybe.” I didn’t really elaborate. “Alpha Marc, can you cto my office, please?” I asked him in the mind-link.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“On my way.” He said instantly. There had to be a secret that I was not familiar with and I honestly didn’t know if Jasper even knew it.
“Wha-” A knock on the door made Jasper and Emmy’s heads to snap around. Jasper’s b*dy was stiff as he walked over to answer the door.
“What is it?” Alpha Marc shoved past Jasper and cup to me. He looked down at the blueprint and frowned.
“This wasn’t making sense to me. This is where we found the tunnel. Over here is where the rogues attacked and this is where the other picture was taken.” I motioned to each push pin as I couldn’t extend
my arms out to point.
“Yeah?”
“It would have taken years for Alpha Rip to dig these tunnels. Years. He would have had to go slow in order to avoid being detected and to cut tree roots out of the way without killing the trees. He must have started this long before I caround. These spots are equal or similar distance to the packhouse. They aren’t quite in line for directly across from eachother. I think there might be a third tunnel around here. However, my point is, it looks like Alpha Rip has been planning this attack years ago. I think they are usingas a distraction from his main goal. I think Alpha Rip has something else he wants but is hoping you don’t realize it as you are trying to protectform Darin.”
Alpha Marc was silent for awhile. His eyes darted between each pin point and finally over to where a third location could it. It would make a triangle with the packhouse directly in the middle. He put his hands on the desk and leaned forward as if he was studying it, intently.
1 looked up to see Emmy and Jasper both flabbergasted about this whole ordeal. Emmy had her hands
before morphing into annoyance.
“What is your plan for evacuating the women, child and elderly?” Alpha Marc said after a few more minutes. Standing up, he stood up tall as if he was just ignoring what I told him.
I was a little puzzled but I still answered his question. “W-we were thinking about using the old dirt road on the back side of your territory. Take a long way as they are probably watching the direct routes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay. We can move forward with your plan. Our troops are getting assembled in preparation. Jasper, you need to head down and do the same.” Alpha Marc quickly walked about of my office, leaving us all speechless.
“What just happened?” I whispered to Jasper.
“He didn’t like what you had to say.” Jasper looked at the open door.
“He’s hiding something.” I said quietly. Jasper nodded in response.
“Do you have to leave?” Emmy looked up at Jasper with worry in her eyes.
“I do. You girls stay here. Alec will be up shortly. I will tellwhat happened here but I do need to go.” Jasper spoke directly to Emmy. His hand landed on her swollen belly. “Be safe.”
A tear fell down Emmy’s face. “We love you.” She whispered as he k*ssed her gently. I felt like I was intruding on a private matter. They were lost in each other’s eyes for a moment before Jasper briskly out of my office. Emmy’s eyes followed him out before she walked over to close the door and lock it.
