Life After the Storm chapter 39

LANDON'S POV

As the Rouge takes off through the woods, I go after him trying to find which direction the rouge went in
damn it I can't allow him to escape. It terrifies me that he saw what Lilly is capable of. She doesn't
realize how much danger she just put herself in. I'm grateful that she helped,, but I'm worried now that
she may be targeted.

I have never ran so fast in such desperation in my life, the need to protect her is so strong she should
have waited until there was no one that would be able to see what she was capable of. She doesn't
understand she needs to keep her ability to herself to keep herself out of danger. I knew this would
happen. Damn it, what is going to happen if I can't catch him.

I don't even know why they would have even targeted my pack, just because of the fact we keep to
ourselves we don't bother others. We don't have enemies, they could easily wipe My pack out there's
few of us. It makes no sense that Ivan's pack was just targeted and now mine.

I worry about Ivan finding out what she is just because the more that he knows the more danger she
will be in. I want to protect her at all cost But I'm not sure if I am capable of it. Maybe she would be
better off with him, Even though I hate the thought of someone else touching her.

I noticed how she didn't think twice to help me to protect the people in my pack. It proves to me that
she is loyal to my pack, but how can I expect her to stay if I'm unable to protect her from so much
danger? She will always be targeted because of her ability.

As a familiar smell comes to my nostrils, I stop dead in my tracks. It's my father, what is he doing? I
wonder what the hell did he have a part in all of this. I know I have to stop Ivan, so we are not seen, so
I then mind link Ivan “stop there is something going on that is bigger I am picking up my father's scent.”

Ivan comes up to me, we stop, he then looks at me “why would your father be out here?”



“I don't know, I can't go any further. He will pick up my scent. Do you think you would be able to sneak
up to him and try to figure out what the hell is happening?”

He looks at me hesitantly with all that has just happened to him, I wonder if he is scared. Knowing
being an Alpha we don't scare easily but him being so close to death it might have taken something
away from him.

“Do you think that your father had something to do with all of this?”

I want to say that my father would never be capable of something so awful, but to be honest, I'm not
even really sure who the hell he is anymore. He changed after my mother died, so much that I was glad
to leave and never look back. My father was so angry when he found out my mate was an omega, my
father was embarrassed by it. That is why I left. He made me choose him or her and I chose my mate.
He hasn't talked to me since.

Ivan looks at me, are you going to answer my question? I snapped out of my thoughts, “I would like to
say no but to be honest, I'm not so sure he has changed, and I haven't spoken to him in 5 years.”

“Why would your father target all of us? It makes no sense his pack was losing its power, that's why he
wanted me to take over? He rearranged the marriage between Jenny and I. We were to be married in
less than a week, well, until she tried to kill me in the woods, that is.”

“Wait, it was Jenny that tried to kill you. Are you sure you know that?”

“Because she made herself known like she wanted to be rewarded for what she has done.”

“But she left you tied to the tree still alive. There has to be a reason behind that if she wanted you
dead, you would be dead, so she wanted you to be found and to be saved.”

“If that is true then why would she even attack me in the first place, what the fuck is going on."



“She would have only attacked you if my father didn't give her any other choice, that her other option
was worse than her killing you.”

“She is your sister, you're not going to want to believe there is evil in someone you love.”

“She isn't evil she is good it is my father who is evil, please go and listen to what words are being
exchanged something is going on, and we need to know what is happening especially if he is trying to
wipe out both of our packs.”

“Fine, but if this is a trick, I promise I will make you pay in the worst kind of way.”

As I watch him go ahead of me I'm nervous on what is about to happen, what the fuck is going on. I
never thought my father would try to take packs out for no reason at all. We don't target other packs
unless there is no other choice. To target my pack we have done nothing to no one, we stay to
ourselves.

I then realized this was all a trick to get me away from my pack. I mind link like Ivan “We need to get
back to my territory, this was a trap to get me away from the pack for them to attack with no trouble.”

I turn around and run as fast as I can, knowing my wolf is as nervous as I am. We need to get back to
check on Jayden. Knowing that rouges show no mercy on anyone, they will kill whatever is in their
presence. Fuck I'm such a fool, I was so worried about them finding out what Lilly is that I forgot to
protect my pack.
