found.
London had played clueless the whole time but I knew deep down he was just avoiding the issue, he was enjoying his time alone with me.
When his truck stops in the driveway I nearly jump over Dillon’s lap in my mad dash to get out.
“Slow down a little, Parker.” He laughs as I run towards the front door.
As soon as I’m though the front door I become alarmed at the number of unfamiliar wolves inside.
Moving around my home I search for my father.
Suddenly I’m pulled into a dark room and pushed against a wall as someone places their hand over my mouth, cutting off my scream for help.
“Shhhh, Parker. It’s me, Brock.” Brock states in a tense whisper before pulling his hand away.
“What are you doing, and why weren’t you at school?” I question quickly.
If anyone had the answers I needed it would be him.
“They’ve all lied, and this has gotten way out of hand.” He answers while backing away from me.
Taking a step forward I place my hand on his arm. “What do you mean, Brock?”
“I mean that your father lied, or at least I think he did. Either way we had no chance at getting you, none of us did with London being here.” He answers confusing me even further.
“Where is everyone else?” I ask next.
“They’re gone. I’m the only one who’s gotten away from the guards this long. I promised Gage that I’d warn you.” He replies nervously.
“Warn me of what, Brock?” I push.
It was like pulling teeth with him.
“Your father either lied about letting you choose one of us or his hands became tied. London isn’t the wolf you think he is, he’s dangerous and from a rich family. Whatever you do don’t trust any of them, Parker.” Moving closer to me he pins me with a look. “Promise me you won’t trust any of them, Parker.”
I nod. “I promise, Brock, but what’s going to happen to you now, what happened to Gage and Rowan?”
“They were hopefully taken back to their families. If not, they’ve been taken to the Island.” He answers honestly.
We all knew what the Island was.
It wasn’t any place that any of us wanted to go.
It was more of a jail for the wolves who committed crimes against our kind.
Bad things happened there.
“If they were taken there I’ll find out.” I promise him as we hear loud shouts come from just outside the door we were hiding behind.
“Please, don’t let them take me, Parker.” Brock suddenly pleads. “I’ll be your second if you get me out of this.”
I step back in shock.
This situation had to be bad if he was willing to become a second in order to save himself.
It was completely unlike him.
“If that’s what you want then I will, Brock, but only if you help me.” I reply.
He nods just as the door flies open.
My father and the unfamiliar guards march in.
Ignoring them I command Brock. “Change, now.”
“What are you doing, Parker?” My father questions while taking a step forward.
“I’m taking him as my second. He’s agreed to follow under me.” I answer quickly before changing into wolf form with Brock.
Brock’s wolf lies down on the floor turning to his side as I stand over him.
Chanting the words into our minds I cement the new bond we would share between us as I bite his neck.
“Submit.” I order in his mind.
In an instant his body falls limp beneath my teeth and the bond of him becoming a second is over.
Letting him go I return to my human form before turning towards my father.
“You shouldn’t have done that, Parker.” He sighs roughly.
“Well, I did.” I reply shortly.
“London isn’t going to be happy about his.” He then mutters as he turns and leaves the room with the guards following close behind.
Turning to Brock as he changes into his human form I groan. “We have a lot to talk about, and I want to know everything that’s going on around here.”
He nods. “Let’s go to your room where it’s quiet and I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Nodding I begin walking out
