My Secret Life (New Edition) Maleah novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Pups

Roan

I have heard Damon roar in anger before, but this is even too much for me and Smoke and everyone in the office is on their knees. I have no doubt that everyone close to us is on their knees as well, no one can withstand the aura that Damon is releasing at the moment and Dad has to jam a knife in to his leg to make him see what he is doing.

“Close the fucking gates.” Damon yells through the mind–link, before we all hear him summon every unit that is at the Academy. “Amir, bring Gillean with you, he just arrived at the Academy.” Damon continues and I remember that Dad told me last night that he is a relative of the King, his Grandmother is Damon’s Aunt if I remember correctly. I will meet her in a few days when she arrives here after visiting old friends along the way, they will be looking after Dalton and Thora when necessary.

I don’t hear a distraught Jaylen over the mind–link’and Dad tells me that one of the Elders will inform Jaylen and Morgan about our discovery. We both know that is not going to be an easy conversation, it is never easy to tell a parent that their Pup is missing and it doesn’t matter how old the Pup in question is. I see Warriors walking up to the Palace and it doesn’t take me long to find out that each of them was on gate duty today.

Gillean gets out of the SUV with Commander Amir and Smoke is pushing forward, curious about Damon’s Cousin, he is a handsome young male. His light brown hair is cut short and his hazel eyes sparkle as he smiles at Damon and there is no doubt in my mind that he is a Lycan. Gillean asks where the guards are and Dad points at the group of males standing a few feet away from us.

“Gentlemen, I need you to think carefully about what happened before you answer my question. Beta Tom’s SUV is missing from the carpark, which of you let it pass the gates?” He asks and I can’t believe no one thought of asking that question. One of the guards raises his hand and Gillean asks him to recall everything he saw when the SUV approached the gate.

I see confused looks on everyone’s faces, but the guard does as Gillean asked him. He tells us that the SUV approached the gate at normal speed and that he recognized it as the SUV of Beta Tom, but that Beta Tom hadn’t been inside the vehicle. “Who was driving the SUV?” Gillean asks and the guard tells us that Jo- Anna was behind the wheel, “Did you see anyone else in the vehicle with her?” Gillean asks and the guard tells us that she was alone, that he checked the vehicle according to protocol.

“Beta Tom, I would like to see the footage from the car–park and from the gate.” Gillean says and Dad has to tell him there are no cameras inside the car–park, “That is fine, just get me the footage from outside the car–park.” He replies and I wonder what he is going to do with the footage he asked for. I don’t get the chance to ask Gillean anything because I hear Jaylen roaring over the mind–link and I have to hold my head at the sound of it.

“Gillean, I hope you can find some answers fast, we have a very pissed off Lycan heading this way.” Damon says before he heads back inside, we follow him to the Royal Wing as Dad explains a few things about Jo- Anna, Dalton and Thora. I nearly walk into a wall when Gillean asks if Jo–Anna ever did anything to harm Dalton and Thora in anyway and Dad stares at him while Damon asks him to clarify his question.

“If Jo–Anna is as interested in Jaylen as you say, she will not like the fact that he has Pups and she would have tried to make Dalton and Thora understand that they mean nothing to her. Maybe she threatened to send them of to some sort of boarding school or some sort of institute for difficult Pups, anything to make sure that they would fear her.” Gillean explains and Smoke roars menacingly at the indication.

Dad points out that Dalton and Thora are well mannered and polite Pups, that many adults could learn something from them and that he never saw Jo–Anna act cruel towards them. Gillean responds by telling

Dad that she would never do it in front of any witnesses, but that it doesn’t mean she didn’t mistreat them if it was just the three of them. “Your Majesty, I would like access to the security cameras inside and outside the Palace.” Gillean says and I know he will get everything he asks for.
