gave him a nod back to answer it. Niko clicked the speaker phone and Dimitri said. “Hello.”

“Hello brother!” Odessa's voice rang out.

“Is it true?” Dimitri asked.

“Yes, the Moon Goddess has blessed me with Alpha Georgios as my mate.”

“Why didn't you call and tell me immediately about your mate?”

“I’ve just discovered my mate and wanted to spend time getting to know him. Alpha Georgios has been without a Luna for the six years he's had the pack. I've so much to learn and take care of for my new pack. We're planning to visit you soon, please don't worry about me. I think you have bigger things to worry about.”

“Is everything okay? Is he treating you well?” Dimitri said.

“Absolutely, as wonderful as Imara and Alec! One can only dream of being this lucky.”

“I'm happy to hear that.” Dimitri said, but he certainly didn't look happy. “I'll be seeing both of you real soon.”

“Dimitri, don't forget, I found Dolos and he's mine. Please remember to have someone feed him for me.” Odessa said.

There was an awkward silence as Niko and Dimitri exchanged glances. “Of course, your cat Dolos is in good hands, we’ll take care of him.” Dimitri said.

“See, she's doing great Alpha.” Georgios was back on the phone.

“Take care of my sister Georgios. If you happen to see my in-laws, I'd appreciate a phone call.” Dimitri said and disconnected.

“What was that all about?” My father asked.

“Did she say Imara and Alec? I didn't know that Alec had a mate?” I inquired.

“He doesn't. Alec was the first to find his mate. He met Imara the week after he turned eighteen, she was a year older than him and in love with a human in the city. She rejected Alec and he's never been the same since.”

“So, Odessa was sending us a secret message!” I said.

“Are we sure it was a secret message?” My mother asked.

“Yes! She spoke about Dolos.” Niko said as if that would make sense.

“When Odessa was a pup, she had a little black cat named Dolos. He was a mischievous, sneaky little thing, so the name suited him. There's an old Greek God named Dolos, who was the master of trickery, deceit, lies and traps.”

“Is Dolos still alive?” My mother asked.

“No. He's been dead for a long time now. What she actually said was, I found Dolos, he's mine.” Dimitri emphasized the word mine.

“Mine, as in her mate! As in, Georgios is Dolos and planning something cunning!” Niko said.

“My sister is in trouble and she's discovered some deceitful plot. That's why Georgios is acting weird and is probably hoping Alpha LaRue will want me dead or help overpower me.” Dimitri said.

“With Georgios thinking that we're not on the island and disapprove of you, he may believe that we could be allies.” My father said.

“Do you believe that Stefanos is working with Hades or Georgios?” My mother asked.

“Without a doubt! Eros was Stefanos's right hand man. There's no way Hades, as his only son and heir isn't involved. Now that we know of Georgios’ connection to Hades, Stefanos must be pulling the strings.” Dimitri responded.

“And don't forget his control of the rogues. Those two packs, combined with rogues and silver bullets, may just be the small army he needs to take us out.” Niko said.

“Our pack struggled financially for a few years. Georgios liked to gamble on the stock market. Then we started getting more purchased slaves, omegas I'd never seen before. Something felt suspicious but no one ever questioned him, he’s on the shifter’s council, so we assumed he had received aid of some kind.” Rocky told us.

“And the slaves?” My mother practically growled. She's always been sensitive to slave labor and even suffered for a few years at the hands of her stepmother when my Uncle Ranger first became Alpha. Those were the worst four years of her life and she would never knowingly allow anyone to be treated like a slave.

“They're still there. He keeps them well dressed and clean, to look like hired servants. They have small rooms and bunk beds, down in the basement.” Rocky said.

My mother let out a snarling growl. “Alpha Dimitri, please send for Kosta, my mate and I will be returning to Georgios pack this evening.” We all stood paralyzed for a moment and looked at my mother. Her aura was dangerously strong, and her amber colored eyes came to life with rage and fire!

 

 

 

Chapter 34 – Blast

Dimitri's POV

“Kosta should be landing with the helicopter in about ten minutes.” I informed Diesel and Lucy. We stood at the northern peak of the island waiting for Kosta. Lucy was insistent about returning to Alpha Georgios pack right away.

“I'll see if I can speak with Odessa alone first. I'll call Knox when I've spoken to her, so he can update you. We'll let Georgios believe that Knox has returned to Crescent Moon with Rocky, and that we've remained in Greece because Alpha LaRue isn't convinced that Raven wants to be with you. That he's considering taking your head for stealing our only daughter and forcing her to mate with you.” Lucy told me.

“Mother!” Raven protested at the idea of forced mating.

“We'll see if Georgios will lead us to Stefanos or if he lets anything slip. If we hit a dead end, I'll light Georgios up and send him straight to hell.” Lucy said.

“I can position my warriors just outside his pack territory to lead an attack and help if things get sticky for you.” I offered.

“I don't think his pack will put up
