Chapter 191: Leaving for the ColdMoon Pack
***AUTHOR’S NOTE: If you’re wondering what’s going on with Violet, you’ll know soon enough. Over the next few Chapters I’ll be getting you caught up on what’s going on with the vampire princess and the alpha king***
"Okay, let’s get out there and find you some clothes." Ambrose pulled her toward a shop.
Odette moved up the steps, he held the door open to her and she looked into eyes and quietly told him, "Thank you."
She found a different sense of happiness as she roamed the stores glancing at all the different styles.
"You can have whatever you want. Money isn’t an issue. So, go crazy." he wanted her to know she could have this little bit of freedom and control. "But do get some winter wear, it’ll get colder here soon, and the ColdMoon Pack is snowy year-round."
"Aye, Aye Captain." She did a dramatic salute before running off.
He watched her intensely as she danced around the store to their stock playlist. She looked like such a normal girl. A small grin crept up his face. He couldn’t help it.
"I’m going to pick some things out for you." he told her, walking away.
"Kay."
He headed to the long coats, grabbed a rack by the door, planning to fill it up.
He found this dark yet vibrant red coat that was lined inside with soft black faux fur. Grabbing it, he hung it on the rack.
Ambrose remembered she liked doll clothing, so he made his way to the dresses and immediately found two black short cock tail dresses that flared out some at the waste. He picked out several different outfits before returning to her with a rack overflowing with dark clothes.
"Wow, that’s what I called dedication." She looked over the hanging items on the rack with a graceful smile, "Nice you even have a good sense of fashion, it’s not quite what I wear, but close enough."
She paused.
"I accept your ’I’m sorry I tried to kill you’ gifts. But you’re not forgiven, I’ll make that clear."
"So, why are we traveling to the ColdMoon Pack?" She asked suddenly.
"They’re having rogue problems. I’m going to see for myself the conditions the pack and surrounding areas are in. Something tells me I’m being lied to about the severity of it all, so a surprise visit to the countryside is necessary." He answered without much hesitation.
Before she could ask any further, he interrupted, "We should return now; we won’t have long before we leave."
He had the servants pack the clothes they bought once everything was delivered. When they arrived, she would already be packed.
Pulling up to the front and stepping out Odette was surprised to see Emalea. Barely noticing the other servant girl with blue hair, standing by the luggage.
"Oh my goddess! Are you coming with us?" She yelled excitedly. Odette’s entire demeanor switched. Like it was a light switch.
"Yes, you will need your ’personal maid’ with you on your travels." Emalea smiled at Odette with stars in her eyes.
"And Ariel is coming with because it’s her home village. The ColdMoon Pack is where she’s from and she would like a chance to see her little sister." Emalea openly mentions.
"Way to just tell the world my business for me, I always did want someone to narrate my life for me." Ariel sneered.
When it was time to leave, Ambrose let them ride in a separate car and Beta Damon rode with him.
When they got in the car and pulled away Beta Damon asked "Alpha, what’s the plan if it’s as bad as we think it is?"
"The plan is to remove the Alpha for treason; he’s been embezzling funds from the crown. His pack will be given a more trusted Alpha. I will publicly execute him and demote his family to the lowest ranks in their packs." Ambrose answered pulling out his rarely used phone, just to check the time "and I will take his head back with me and show the council what becomes of traitors when I find them. I will leave the soldiers I brought to ensure a smooth transition and that the funds we bring with us are allocated properly."
"I’ll see to it, Alpha."
"I know you will."
"I don’t know if you want to hear the problems happening with the attacks on the American packs." Damon spoke hesitantly.
"No, go ahead."
"Alpha, Queen Violet has been ripping through packs, ones that have nothing to do with this and no magical connection." He looked down approaching his words cautiously "I don’t know what her game is, attacking those packs won’t bring her closer to her daughter."
"She’s trying to draw us out. She’s sending a message to us. She doesn’t care the lives she has to take or the villages she will burn to find her daughter." Ambrose growled.
"Fuck!" Ambrose shouted throwing a glass of bourbon at the window. "We need to relocate the packs. Put a magical barrier, something."
"They have the Circe Coven backing them. But no one knows why, one of the most powerful witches, is Kalvin, but that doesn’t explain the backing of the entire coven. Circe’s Coven doesn’t usually concern themselves with the politics of the night world. Their evolvement is a serious problem for us." Beta Damon answered.
"What, our witch can’t handle it? and what does she know of their involvement with the Drakarys family?" Ambrose asked.
"She’s from the Circe Coven but won’t speak on the relationship. Her lips are sealed tight. And she’s not powerful enough to take on an entire coven of some of the most powerful witches." He answered.
"Make her talk." Ambrose ordered.
"I don’t think I can, I think it’s a binding oath. She can’t, it would kill her before she couldn’t finish." He answered urgently.
"What pity." Ambrose was annoyed.
"Our best bet is to quietly evacuate the packs in America to another region."
"Fuck. Fucking bitch. I didn’t think she was going to be the problem. I knew King Asher would be a problem, but the whore mother? I didn’t see that coming. I didn’t plan for them to go off course and start attacking middle of nowhere non important villages." Ambrose was steaming.
"Fuck." He yelled slumped over running his hands through his hair.
"I’ll take care of it, Alpha."
"Good."
When they arrived at the airport and got on the plane. He saw the shock on her face.
"I’m used to private jets, but an entire commercial airline, that’s insane."
