Mine - The Alpha's Possession

Chapter 78

I got out of bed immediately and I got dressed into the first clothes that I could find and I grabbed my bag and keys and ran down the stairs and got in the car and left the packhouse.

I mind linked Wyatt on the way and told him that he was in charge until I got back.I didn't know when we would be getting back and I didn't give him too much information about what was happening.I just needed to get there.

It took me three hours to get to Olive's house and the door opened as soon as I got there and I rushed inside and they took me to Jackson.He was in the spare bedroom, practically unconscious but moving around a lot and sweating profusely.

So I leaned down next to the bed and I felt his head, he was burning up.I ripped his shirt open to see if I could see any wounds on him but there weren't any.

Not on his chest so I rolled him over and there were a couple of really small pin-like pricks on his back.I leaned forward and smelt them.

"What is it?" Olive asked.

Her mate was standing right beside her.

"It smells like wolfsbane.But not exactly like wolfsbane.It's been modified." I say strangely trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

It took me a minute before I realized.

"Oh shit.They thought he was me." I say.

"What? Why would you think that?" She asked.

"Because wolfsbane doesn't affect me.Not the normal wolfsbane.I think it's the fae in me.But if it's been modified then they thought he was me.Our wolves are identical." I explained.

"What the hell do we do?" She asked.

"Get him to the hospital.We need to get it flushed out of his system, right now." I say.

So Olive's mate picked him up and we carried him to the car and headed to the hospital.

"Do you know who is after him?" Olive asked.

"I imagine a lot of people." Her mate said and I growled at him while I was sitting in the backseat with Jackson's head resting on my lap.

"Ignore him.Do you know who it could have been?" Olive asked.

"The Hunters.And there's a chance that their surrounding this pack as we speak.We need to lock it down." I say.

"I'll get on to my father." Olive says.

"Just so long as Jackson doesn't try to kill him for taking over." I say.

When we got to the hospital, even the doctors and nurses were hesitant to work on Jackson until I threatened them under Luna's command, so they started helping him and I made sure that I saw everything that was going into his body and made sure that it wasn't going to kill him.

Elias and Gladys showed up at the hospital and I went outside to talk to them while I had a smoke.I explained everything about the hunters and that this place needs to be locked down.I've already contacted Wyatt and he's locking down our pack, where we live.

But as far as that goes, we don't know where the hunters are.

Neither of them looked overly worried about Jackson.

More about the pack and getting more patrols on and I remind Elias that I am in charge here.

Not him.

Not anymore.

I know that Jackson is going to recover, and I am not going to give him another reason to try and kill his father.He needs to let me take the lead on this.

Otherwise Elias is as good as dead.

There's a reason he went to Olive instead of his parents when he was being attacked.I don't want Jackson trying to kill his own father again.

When I went back inside I saw that Jackson was hooked up to an IV and I sat next to his bed and I sat there holding his hand.

I noticed a lot of the staff outside watching me.I guess they haven't seen anyone get this close to Jackson before, or try so hard to save his life before.I heard Elias call a pack meeting and he had doubled security around the whole pack, but they were warned about who was coming.

It was possible hunters that were after them.

Wanting to end the pack once and for all.

So by the time the pack meeting started I needed to be at the meeting hall.

Elias was already up on the stage with Gladys and the rest of the family and I joined them up there.I didn't have any problems with his family and they knew that I was Luna.

But no one else knew who I was.

"Alright everyone.I know that there is a lot of panic.You've seen extra security around the pack and you will be seeing more security around the pack in the coming hours.We've got warriors from other packs that Alpha Jackson has claimed coming to give us assistance." Elias explained to everyone who was in a state of panic at this point.

They weren't really listening, and they were all getting worked up and I was getting sick of listening to them.I had a mate in the hospital that I had to get back to.So I stood in front of Elias and his family and I raised my hands to get everyone's attention.

"Please? My name is Taylor Stevenson.I'm Alpha Jackson's mate." I say and they all went quiet but it was just a quiet murmur.

"I know that you're all scared and you have every right to be.But I'm not going to lie to you about what's going on.You live here and you're family, your mates, your sons and daughters are going to be fighting for this pack.So you have a right to know who their fighting.Hunters have been trying to take this pack down for years.I am the only one that Jackson had confided in about this.They started attacking while Elias was in charge.But Jackson didn't tell his father because he knew that his father would try to resolve the situation with the hunters.And I'm sorry, but that wouldn't have worked.These people want us gone.They want us dead.I found out the first day I met Jackson, the first day I was attacked while I was with him.He has claimed so many packs and so much territory so that we might have a fighting chance of winning against these people.But they are smart and skilled and they have weapons that we could only dream of having.If you are not a warrior fighting or protecting this pack then I am begging you, please get to safety.I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I don't want to see us lose any warriors let alone civilians." I say and they actually seemed to shut up and listen.

They stopped to listen to what I was saying and they agreed that they needed to get the women and children and the elderly to safety.To the shelters.

When we got off stage Maverick told me that he was impressed.I'm nothing like Jackson.He would have just ordered them to do what they were told. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

But I knew that I wasn't like Jackson.

I actually cared about what happened to people.

I got back to the hospital and Jackson had been moved to his own room and I sat next to his bed again and I was sitting there listening to all the mind linking that was going on in my head of all the preparations that was happening with the warriors.

Who was going to be where, what packs were joining us and where they were coming from.

Everything that I needed to know really.

I needed to pay attention so that I would know what to do when it came time to actually fight.

They attacked the Alpha thinking that it was me, so they were probably expecting the Alpha to come after them.

I didn't know what they were thinking, and that was the one thing that frustrated me.

They modified that wolfsbane to attack me with.

So, they were obviously trying to lure Jackson out somehow.

But he managed to get to the safety of his sister's house first.I don't know how he managed to do that.

There were at least three dart points in his back.

He must have really been struggling to get here.

And he must have been closer to this place than to home.

That made no sense.

Why was he coming here? I was sitting there staring at an unconscious Jackson, lost in thought when the sirens suddenly started going off.

They were here.

So I got up from my chair and I walked out of the room.

The doctor and the nurses were waiting outside.

"Get him to safety.If anything happens to him, then I will make sure that the same happens to you."

I threatened them.I didn't like threatening people like that, but I knew that they were too keen on saving Jackson.I knew that they weren't his biggest fans.So I needed to make sure that they were going to care for him.

I left the hospital and I saw everyone running for the shelters that were scattered around town and I started heading for the tree line.

The main border entrance is where I was headed and I was soon joined by Maverick, Emmett and Declan who hadn't shifted yet.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Declan asked.

"Hell yeah." I say without breaking my stride.

There were warriors all through the woods.

Hundreds of them in wolf form, ready to attack.

Ready for a battle, but we saw the cars parked just outside the border and men standing next to the cars.

They were dressed in black military uniforms except for the man in front.He was obviously in charge.

So I stepped out from the woods with Jackson's brother's on my flank and warriors right behind us.

With other warriors growling in the woods at all different locations, so that no one knew for sure where they were or how many they were.

Just a scare tactic.

And once they caught sight of me, the man in front got really rigid.
