Inhaling, Silas filtered through scents
to locate anything out of the ordinary and came up empty. He
checked the time and returned to the lab hoping for an
update.
    Tyrese and Tyrone joined him. A few moments
later Damian walked into the conference room with his
report.
    “Talked to the cook, she took the news really
hard but she cooked him a steak, medium rare and French fries. He
ate it all, they talked and joked a bit. Claims he looked healthy
and had no complaints. She said he planned to come back for dessert
later after doing some work in the gym,” Damian said.
    “The autopsy will confirm that,” Silas said.
Stumped, he sat on the corner edge of the table. “Tyrone go to your
mate, don’t return here. If Jacques tries to leave, remind him that
I want him with his mate.”
    “Yes, Sir.” Tyrone left.
    “Tyrese, Hank’s going through camera footage
searching for anything out of the ordinary, go, be another pair of
eyes.”
    “On it.” Tyrese left.
    Time dragged. Silas paced the conference floor
and watched the clock. Finally he looked at Damian. “Let’s search
the grounds.”
    The two stood and cleared the check-points
before stepping onto the grass outside the building. Silas shifted,
Damian followed his lead and the two of them searched the perimeter
of the compound for clues.
    Two hours later, they returned to the lab,
tired and still just as baffled as before.

Chapter 10
     
    Angus’ jet arrived at the private landing strip
on Alpha Chase’s private grounds. The Alpha and his Beta, Jasper, met the plane. Silas had given
him some background information of both men. Chase could trace his
royal Viking heritage back to Sweyn
Forkbeard , who
sat on the English throne from 1013-1014 and his son Cnut the
Great who reigned from 1016 - 1035. True to his Norse heritage, the muscular blonde stood as tall as
Angus and ruled his state with a firm grip.
    Waves of pent-up frustration and anger wafted
from both men. Jasper had completed his Alpha training at the top
of the class. With his Scandinavian heritage, the former lumberjack
had been offered and accepted the position of Chase’ Beta before he
graduated. Built like the log trees he cut down, Jasper was indeed
a fierce warrior few engaged.
    “Alpha, Jasper,” Angus greeted the men fully
aware of their displeasure of not being allowed to go after the
rebels personally.
    “Welcome, Angus. Didn’t expect to see you back
here so soon. How are you feeling? Are you sure you’re up to this?”
Alpha Chase asked while walking toward the vehicle.
    Rather than be offended at the skepticism Angus
heard in the Alpha’s voice, he answered the question with the
understanding of the stress Chase was under. Rebels continued
terrorizing pack members in his territory and compromised his
position as Alpha. Silas had tied Chase’s hands by not allowing him
to retaliate against his enemies. But that was not Angus’ concern;
his mission took precedence over everything else.
    “Not only am I feeling better and up to the
challenge but my mission has been reinstated to infiltrate and
bring this to an end.” He slapped Chase on the back and stopped at
the large black SUV.
    Chase smiled widely. “Well, that’s the best
news I’ve heard today. What do you need?”
    Angus placed his bag on the floorboard of the
SUV. “After I change, I’m going hunting. I’ll check in with you and
Silas from time to time but otherwise, I’ll be
off-line.”
    “When you see those bastards, send me their
coordinates. I need to be involved taking them down,” Chase said,
staring at Angus.
    “Silas doesn’t want the Feds or humans to know
about this, that’s why I came alone,” Angus reminded
him.
    Chase ran his hand through his hair. “As Alpha,
I need my pack to see me doing something to retaliate, not being
rescued.”
    Angus stared at Chase. This was as close to
insubordination as the Alpha dared come, otherwise, Angus would
terminate him right now. He took a moment to decide how
